John 12:9-32

⁹Moche people of the Iewes had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Iesus sake only but that they myght se Lazarus also whom he raysed from deeth.

¹⁰The hye prestes therfore held a counsell that they myght put Lazarus to deeth also

¹¹because that for his sake many of the Iewes went awaye and beleved on Iesus.

¹²On the morowe moche people that were come to the feast when they hearde that Iesus shuld come to Ierusalem

¹³toke braunches of palme trees and went and met him and cryed: Hosanna blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde commeth kynge of Israel.

¹⁴And Iesus got a yonge asse and sate theron accordinge to that which was writte:

¹⁵feare not doughter of Sion beholde thy kynge cometh sittinge on an asses coolte.

¹⁶These thinges vnderstode not his disciples at the fyrst: but when Iesus was gloryfied then remembryd they that soche thinges were written of him and that soche thinges they had done vnto him.

¹⁷The people that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raysed him from deeth bare recorde.

¹⁸Therfore met him the people be cause they hearde that he had done soche a myracle.

¹⁹The Pharises therfore sayde amonge them selves: perceave ye how we prevayle no thinge? beholde the worlde goth awaye after him.

²⁰Ther were certayne Grekes amonge them that came to praye at the feast:

²¹the same cam to Philip which was of Bethsayda a cyte in Galile and desired him sayinge: Syr we wolde fayne se Iesus.

²²Philip came and tolde Andrew. And agayne Andrew and Philip tolde Iesus.

²³And Iesus answered them sayinge: the houre is come that the sonne of man must be glorified.

²⁴Verely verely I saye vnto you except the wheate corne fall into the grounde and dye it bydeth alone. Yf it dye it brengeth forth moche frute.

²⁵He that loveth his lyfe shall destroye it: and he that hateth his lyfe in this worlde shall kepe it vnto lyfe eternall.

²⁶If eny man mynister vnto me let him folowe me and where I am there shall also my minister be. And yf eny man minister vnto me him will my father honoure.

²⁷Now is my soule troubled and what shall I saye? Father delyver me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto this houre.

²⁸Father glorify thy name. Then came ther a voyce from heaven: I have glorified it and will glorify it agayne.

²⁹Then sayd the people that stode by and hearde: it thoundreth. Other sayde an angell spake to him.

³⁰Iesus answered and sayde: this voyce cam not because of me but for youre sakes.

³¹Now is the iudgement of this worlde: now shall the prince of this worlde be cast out.

³²And I yf I were lifte vp from the erthe will drawe all men vnto me.
