⁷And after these thingis he seide to hise disciplis, Go we eft in to Judee.

⁸The disciplis seien to hym, Maister, now the Jewis souyten for to stoone thee, and eft goist thou thidir?

⁹Jhesus answerde, Whether ther ben not twelue ouris of the dai? If ony man wandre in the dai, he hirtith not, for he seeth the liyt of this world.

¹⁰But if he wandre in the niyt, he stomblith, for liyt is not in him.

¹¹He seith these thingis, and aftir these thingis he seith to hem, Lazarus, oure freend, slepith, but Y go to reise hym fro sleep.

¹²Therfor hise disciplis seiden, Lord, if he slepith, he schal be saaf.

¹³But Jhesus hadde seid of his deth; but thei gessiden, that he seide of slepyng of sleep.

¹⁴Thanne therfor Jhesus seide to hem opynli, Lazarus is deed;

¹⁵and Y haue ioye for you, that ye bileue, for Y was not there; but go we to hym.

¹⁶Therfor Thomas, that is seid Didymus, seide to euen disciplis, Go we also, that we dien with hym.
