The Life of Jesus

Now Iesus knew that they would aske him, and said vnto them, Doe ye enquire among your selues, of that I said, A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe, a litle while, and yee shall see me?

Verely, verely I say vnto you, that ye shall weepe and lament, and the worlde shall reioyce: and ye shall sorowe, but your sorowe shalbe turned to ioye.

A woman when she traueileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth no more the anguish, for ioy that a man is borne into the world.

And ye nowe therefore are in sorowe: but I will see you againe, and your hearts shall reioyce, and your ioy shall no man take from you.

And in that day shall ye aske me nothing. Verely, verely I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shall aske the Father in my Name, he will giue it you.

Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioye may be full.

These things haue I spoken vnto you in parables: but the time will come, when I shall no more speake to you in parables: but I shall shew you plainely of the Father.

At that day shall ye aske in my Name, and I say not vnto you, that I will pray vnto the Father for you:

For the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleeued that I came out from God.

I am come out from the Father, and came into the worlde: againe I leaue the worlde, and goe to the Father.

His disciples saide vnto him, Loe, nowe speakest thou plainely, and thou speakest no parable.

Nowe knowe wee that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should aske thee. By this we beleeue, that thou art come out from God.

Iesus answered them, Doe you beleeue nowe?

Beholde, the houre commeth, and is already come, that ye shalbe scattered euery man into his owne, and shall leaue me alone: but I am not alone: for the Father is with me.

These thinges haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye might haue peace: in the world ye shall haue affliction, but be of good comfort: I haue ouercome the world.

These things spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and saide, Father, that houre is come: glorifie thy Sonne, that thy Sonne also may glorifie thee,

As thou hast giuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shoulde giue eternall life to all them that thou hast giuen him.

And this is life eternall, that they knowe thee to be the onely very God, and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ.

I haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished the worke which thou gauest me to doe.

And nowe glorifie me, thou Father, with thine owne selfe, with the glorie which I had with thee before the world was.

I haue declared thy Name vnto the men which thou gauest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gauest them me, and they haue kept thy worde.

Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.

For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receiued them, and haue knowen surely that I came out from thee, and haue beleeued that thou hast sent me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine.

And al mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
