* Then Iesus , sixe dayes before the Passeouer , came to Bethania , where Lazarus was , who died , whom he had raised from the dead . * There they made him a supper , and Martha serued : but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him . * Then tooke Mary a pound of oyntment of Spikenarde very costly , and anoynted Iesus feete , and wiped his feete with her heare , and the house was filled with the sauour of the oyntment . * Then said one of his disciples , euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne , which should betray him : * * Nowe he said this , not that he cared for the poore , but because hee was a theefe , and had the bagge , and bare that which was giuen . * * For the poore alwayes yee haue with you , but me ye shall not haue alwayes . * * The hie Priestes therefore consulted , that they might put Lazarus to death also , * Because that for his sake many of the Iewes went away , and beleeued in Iesus . * On the morowe a great multitude that were come to the feast , when they heard that Iesus should come to Hierusalem , * Tooke branches of palme trees , and went foorth to meete him , and cried , Hosanna , Blessed is the King of Israel that commeth in the Name of the Lorde . * And Iesus found a yong asse , and sate thereon , as it is written , * Feare not , daughter of Sion : behold , thy King commeth sitting on an asses colte . * But his disciples vnderstoode not these thinges at the first : but when Iesus was glorified , then remembred they , that these thinges were written of him , and that they had done these things vnto him . * The people therefore that was with him , bare witnesse that hee called Lazarus out of the graue , and raised him from the dead . * Therefore mette him the people also , because they heard that he had done this miracle . * * And there were certain Greeks among them that (note :)After the solemn custom : the Greeks were first so called by the name of the country of Greece , where they lived : but afterward , all that were not of the Jew 's religion , but worshipped false gods and were also called heathens , were called by the name Greeks .(:note ) came up to worship at the feast : * And they came to Philippe , which was of Bethsaida in Galile , and desired him , saying , Syr , we would see that Iesus . * Philippe came and tolde Andrewe : and againe Andrewe and Philippe tolde Iesus . * And Iesus answered them , saying , The houre is come , that the Sonne of man must bee glorified . * * He that loueth his life , shall lose it , and he that hateth his life in this world , shall keepe it vnto life eternall . * If any man serue me , let him followe me : for where I am , there shall also my seruant be : and if any man serue me , him will my Father honour . * * Father , (note :)So then the Father 's glory is Christ 's glory .(:note ) glorify thy name . Then came there a voice from heaven , [saying ], I have both glorified [it ], and will glorify [it ] again . * Then saide the people that stoode by , and heard , that it was a thunder : other said , An Angel spake to him . * * Now is the iudgement of this world : nowe shall the prince of this world be cast out . * And I , if I be (note :)Christ used a word which has a double meaning , for it signifies either to lift up or to get out of the way : for he intended them to think of his death , but the Jews seemed to take it another way .(:note ) lifted up from the earth , will draw Chrysostom and Theophylact say that this word «all » refers to all nations : that is , not only to the Jews . all [men ] unto me . * Nowe this sayd he , signifying what death he should die . * The people answered him , We haue heard out of the Law , that that Christ bideth for euer : and howe sayest thou , that that Sonne of man must be lift vp ? Who is that Sonne of man ? * * While ye have light , believe in the light , that ye may be the (note :)That is , partakers of light .(:note ) children of light . These things spake Jesus , and departed , and did hide himself from them . * * That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled , which he spake , Lord , who hath believed our report ? and to whom hath the (note :)The arm of the Lord is the gospel , which is the power of God to salvation to all that believe , and therefore the arm of the Lord is not revealed to those whose hearts the Lord has not opened .(:note ) arm of the Lord been revealed ? * Therefore could they not beleeue , because that Esaias saith againe , * He hath blinded their eyes , and hardned their heart , that they shoulde not see with their eyes , nor vnderstand with their heart , and should be conuerted , and I should heale them . * These things sayd Esaias when he sawe his glory , and spake of him . * * For they loued the prayse of men , more then the prayse of God . * * And he that seeth me , seeth him that sent me . * I am come a light into the world , that whosoeuer beleeueth in me , should not abide in darkenes . * And if any man heare my wordes , and beleeue not , I iudge him not : for I came not to iudge the world , but to saue the world . * He that refuseth me , and receiueth not my wordes , hath one that iudgeth him : the worde that I haue spoken , it shall iudge him in the last day . * For I haue not spoken of my selfe : but the Father which sent me , hee gaue me a commaundement what I should say , and what I should speake . * And I knowe that his commaundement is life euerlasting : the thinges therefore that I speake , I speake them so as the Father sayde vnto me .
