Jesus

I knowe that thou hearest me alwayes, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue, that thou hast sent me.

As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.

Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hande and foote with bandes, and his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus said vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe.

Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.

But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done.

Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.

If we let him thus alone, all men will beleeue in him, and the Romanes will come and take away both our place, and the nation.

This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:

And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.

Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death.

Iesus therefore walked no more openly among the Iewes, but went thence vnto a countrey neere to the wildernes, into a citie called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

Then sought they for Iesus, and spake among themselues, as they stoode in the Temple, What thinke ye, that he cometh not to the feast?

Now both the high Priestes and the Pharises had giuen a commandement, that if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passeouer, came to Bethania, where Lazarus was, who died, whom he had raised from the dead.

There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him.

Then tooke Mary a pound of oyntment of Spikenarde very costly, and anoynted Iesus feete, and wiped his feete with her heare, and the house was filled with the sauour of the oyntment.

Then said one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which should betray him:

Then said Iesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying she kept it.

For the poore alwayes yee haue with you, but me ye shall not haue alwayes.

Then much people of the Iewes knewe that hee was there: and they came, not for Iesus sake onely, but that they might see Lazarus also, whome he had raysed from the dead.

Because that for his sake many of the Iewes went away, and beleeued in Iesus.

On the morowe a great multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus should come to Hierusalem,

Tooke branches of palme trees, and went foorth to meete him, and cried, Hosanna, Blessed is the King of Israel that commeth in the Name of the Lord.

And Iesus found a yong asse, and sate thereon, as it is written,

Feare not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King commeth sitting on an asses colte.
