John 11:32-55

³²But whanne Marie was comun where Jhesus was, sche seynge hym felde doun to his feet, and seide to hym, Lord, if thou haddist be here, my brother hadde not be deed.

³³And therfor whanne Jhesu saiy hir wepyng, and the Jewis wepynge that weren with hir, he `made noise in spirit, and troblide hym silf,

³⁴and seide, Where han ye leid hym? Thei seien to hym, Lord, come, and se.

³⁵And Jhesus wepte.

³⁶Therfor the Jewis seiden, Lo! hou he louede hym.

³⁷And summe of hem seiden, Whethir this man that openyde the iyen of the borun blynde man, myyte not make that this schulde not die?

³⁸Therfor Jhesus eft makynge noise in hym silf, cam to the graue. And there was a denne, and a stoon was leid theronne.

³⁹And Jhesus seith, Take ye awey the stoon. Martha, the sistir of hym that was deed, seith to hym, Lord, he stynkith now, for he hath leye foure daies.

⁴⁰Jhesus seith to hir, Haue Y not seid to thee, that if thou bileuest, thou schalt se the glorie of God?

⁴¹Therfor thei token awei the stoon. And Jhesus lifte vp hise iyen, and seide, Fadir, Y do thankyngis to thee, for thou hast herd me; and Y wiste,

⁴²that thou euermore herist me, but for the puple that stondith aboute, Y seide, that thei bileue, that thou hast sent me.

⁴³Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he criede with a greet vois, Lazarus, come thou forth.

⁴⁴And anoon he that was deed, cam out, boundun the hondis and feet with boondis, and his face boundun with a sudarie. And Jhesus seith to hem, Vnbynde ye hym, and suffre ye hym to go forth.

⁴⁵Therfor many of the Jewis that camen to Marie and Martha, and seyn what thingis Jhesus dide, bileueden in hym.

⁴⁶But summe of hem wente to the Farisees, and seiden to hem, what thingis Jhesus `hadde don.

⁴⁷Therfor the bischopis and the Farisees gadriden a counsel ayens Jhesu, and seiden, What do we? for this man doith many myraclis.

⁴⁸If we leeue hym thus, alle men schulen bileue in hym; and Romayns schulen come, and schulen take our place and oure folk.

⁴⁹But oon of hem, Cayfas bi name, whanne he was bischop of that yeer, seide to hem,

⁵⁰Ye witen nothing, ne thenken, that it spedith to you, that o man die for the puple, and that al the folc perische not.

⁵¹But he seide not this thing of hym silf, but whanne he was bischop of that yeer, he prophesiede, that Jhesu was to die for the folc,

⁵²and not oneli for the folc, but that he schulde gadere in to oon the sones of God that weren scaterid.

⁵³Therfor fro that day thei souyten for to sle hym.

⁵⁴Therfor Jhesus walkide not thanne opynli among the Jewis; but he wente in to a cuntre bisidis desert, in to a citee, that is seid Effren, and there he dwellide with hise disciplis.

⁵⁵And the pask of the Jewis was niy, and many of the cuntrey wenten vp to Jerusalem bifor the pask, to halewe hem silf.
