The Life of Jesus

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

But his disciples vnderstoode not these thinges at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, then remembred they, that these thinges were written of him, and that they had done these things vnto him.

The people therefore that was with him, bare witnesse that hee called Lazarus out of the graue, and raised him from the dead.

Therefore mette him the people also, because they heard that he had done this miracle.

And the Pharises said among themselues, Perceiue ye howe ye preuaile nothing? Beholde, the worlde goeth after him.

Nowe there were certaine Greekes among them that came vp to worship at the feast.

And they came to Philippe, which was of Bethsaida in Galile, and desired him, saying, Syr, we would see that Iesus.

Philippe came and tolde Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philippe tolde Iesus.

And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man must bee glorified.

Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except the wheate corne fall into the grounde and die, it bideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth foorth much fruite.

Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Yet a litle while is the light with you: walke while ye haue that light, lest the darkenes come vpon you: for hee that walketh in the darke, knoweth not whither he goeth.

While ye haue that light, beleeue in that light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and hid himselfe from them.
