Глава 12

  • 1. Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passouer, came to Bethanie, where Lazarus was, which had bene dead, whom hee raised from the dead.
  • 2. There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him.
  • 3. Then tooke Mary a pound of ointment, of Spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Iesus, & wiped his feet with her haire: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
  • 4. Then saith one of his disciples, Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, which should betray him,
  • 5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and giuen to the poore?
  • 6. This he said, not that he cared for the poore: but because hee was a thiefe, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
  • 7. Then said Iesus, Let her alone, against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
  • 8. For the poore alwayes yee haue with you: but me ye haue not alwayes.
  • 9. Much people of the Iewes therefore knew that he was there: and they came, not for Iesus sake onely, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
  • 10. But the chiefe Priests consulted, that they might put Lazarus also to death,
  • 11. Because that by reason of him many of the Iewes went away and beleeued on Iesus.
  • 12. On the next day, much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus was comming to Hierusalem,
  • 13. Tooke branches of Palme trees, and went foorth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that cometh in the Name of the Lord.
  • 14. And Iesus, when he had found a yong asse, sate thereon, as it is written,
  • 15. Feare not, daughter of Sion, behold, thy King commeth, sitting on an asses colt.
  • 16. These things vnderstood not his disciples at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, then remebred they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things vnto him.
  • 17. The people therefore that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
  • 18. For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that hee had done this miracle.
  • 19. The Pharisees therefore saide among themselues, Perceiue ye how yee preuaile nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.
  • 20. And there were certaine Greeks among them, that came vp to worship at the feast:
  • 21. The same came therefore to Philip which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Iesus.
  • 22. Philip commeth and telleth Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philip told Iesus.
  • 23. And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man should be glorified.
  • 24. Uerely, verely, I say vnto you, Except a corne of wheat fall into the ground, and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
  • 25. He that loueth his life, shall lose it: and hee that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall.
  • 26. If any man serue me, let him follow me, and where I am, there shall also my seruant be: If any man serue me, him will my father honour.
  • 27. Now is my soule troubled, and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre, but for this cause came I vnto this houre.
  • 28. Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voice from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and wil glorifie it againe.
  • 29. The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, that it thundered: others said, An Angel spake to him.
  • 30. Iesus answered, and said, This voice came not because of mee, but for your sakes.
  • 31. Now is the iudgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
  • 32. And I, if I be lifted vp from the earth, will draw all men vnto me.
  • 33. (This hee said, signifying what death he should die)
  • 34. The people answered him, We haue heard out of the Law, that Christ abideth for euer: and how sayest thou, The Sonne of man must bee lift vp? Who is this Sonne of man?
  • 35. Then Iesus said vnto them, Yet a little while is the light with you: walke while ye haue the light, lest darkdesse come vpon you: For he that walketh in darkenesse, knoweth not whither he goeth.
  • 36. While ye haue light, beleeue in the light, that ye may bee the children of light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and did hide himselfe from them.
  • 37. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they beleeued not on him:
  • 38. That the saying of Esaias the Prophet might be fulfilled, which hee spake, Lord, who hath beleeued our report? and to whom hath the arme of the Lord beene reuealed?
  • 39. Therefore they could not beleeue, because that Esaias said againe,
  • 40. He hath blinded their eyes, and hardned their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and be conuerted, and I should heale them.
  • 41. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
  • 42. Neuerthelesse, among the chiefe rulers also, many beleeued on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confesse him, lest they should be put out of the Synagogue.
  • 43. For they loued the praise of men, more then the praise of God.
  • 44. Iesus cried, and said, He that beleeueth on me, beleeueth not on me, but on him that sent me.
  • 45. And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
  • 46. I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth on me, should not abide in darkenesse.
  • 47. And if any man heare my words, and beleeue not, I iudge him not; For I came not to iudge the world, but to saue the world.
  • 48. He that reiecteth me, and receiueth not my words, hath one that iudgeth him: ye word that I haue spoken, the same shall iudge him in the last day.
  • 49. For I haue not spoken of my selfe; but the Father which sent me, he gaue me a commaundement what I should say, and what I should speake.
  • 50. And I know that his commandement is life euerlasting: whatsoeuer I speake therefore, euen as the Father said vnto me, so I speake.
