John 11:41-53

⁴¹Then they toke awaye the stone from the place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes and sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me.

⁴²I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it that they maye beleve that thou hast sent me.

⁴³And when he thus had spoken he cryed with a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe.

⁴⁴And he that was deed came forth bounde hand and fote with grave bondes and his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto the: loowse him and let him goo.

⁴⁵Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary and had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd beleved on him.

⁴⁶But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises and tolde them what Iesus had done.

⁴⁷Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This man doeth many miracles.

⁴⁸Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and the Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people.

⁴⁹And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest that same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all

⁵⁰nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs that one man dye for the people and not that all the people perisshe.

⁵¹This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people

⁵²and not for the people only but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode.

⁵³From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder for to put him to deeth.
