John 12:21-36

²¹And these camen to Filip, that was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and preieden hym, and seiden, Sire, we wolen se Jhesu.

²²Filip cometh, and seith to Andrew; eft Andrew and Filip seiden to Jhesu.

²³And Jhesus answerde `to hem, and seide, The our cometh, that mannus sone be clarified.

²⁴Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, but a corn of whete falle in to the erthe, and be deed, it dwellith aloone;

²⁵but if it be deed, it bryngith myche fruyt. He that loueth his lijf, schal leese it; and he that hatith his lijf in this world, kepith it in to euerlastynge lijf.

²⁶If ony man serue me, sue he me; and where Y am, there my mynystre schal be. If ony man serue me, my fadir schal worschipe hym.

²⁷Now my soule is troublid, and what schal Y seie? Fadir, saue me fro this our; but therfor Y cam in to this our;

²⁸fadir, clarifie thi name. And a vois cam fro heuene, and seide, And Y haue clarified, and eft Y schal clarifie.

²⁹Therfor the puple that stood, and herde, seide, that `thundur was maad; othere men seide, an aungel spak to hym.

³⁰Jhesus answerde, and seide, This vois cam not for me, but for you.

³¹Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world schal be cast out.

³²And if Y schal be enhaunsid fro the erthe, Y schal drawe alle thingis to my silf.

³³And he seide this thing, signifiynge bi what deth he `was to die.

³⁴And the puple answeride to hym, We han herd of the lawe, that Crist dwellith with outen ende; and hou seist thou, It bihoueth mannys sone to be arerid?

³⁵Who is this mannus sone? And thanne Jhesus seith to hem, Yit a litil liyt is in you; walke ye, the while ye han liyt, that derknessis catche you not; he that wandrith in derknessis, woot nere whidur he goith.

³⁶While ye han liyt, bileue ye in liyt, that ye be the children of liyt. Jhesus spak these thingis, and wente, and hidde hym fro hem.
