The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Iesus sayde vnto her: I am the resurreccion and the lyfe: He that beleveth on me ye though he were deed yet shall he lyve.

And whosoever lyveth and belevest on me shall never dye. Beleveth thou this?

She sayde vnto him: ye Lorde I beleve that thou arte Christ the sonne of god which shuld come into the worlde.

And assone as she had so sayde she went her waye and called Marie her sister secretly sayinge: The master is come and calleth for the

And she assone as she hearde that arose quickly and came vnto him.

Iesus was not yet come into the toune: but was in the place where Martha met him.

The Iewes then which were with her in the housse and comforted her when they sawe Mary that she rose vp hastely and went out folowed her saying: She goeth vnto the grave to wepe there.

Then when Mary was come where Iesus was and sawe him she fell doune at his fete sayinge vnto him: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed.

When Iesus sawe her wepe and the Iewes also wepe which came with her he groned in the sprete and was troubled in him selfe and sayde:

Where have ye layed him? They sayde vnto him: Lorde come and se.

Then sayde the Iewes: Beholde howe he loved him.

And some of the sayde: coulde not he which openned the eyes of the blynde have made also that this man shuld not have dyed?

Iesus agayne groned in him selfe and came to the grave. It was a caue and a stone layde on it.

And Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed sayd vnto him: Lorde by this tyme he stinketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes:

Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto the that if thou didest beleve thou shuldest se the glory of God.

Then they toke awaye the stone from the place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes and sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me.

I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it that they maye beleve that thou hast sent me.

And when he thus had spoken he cryed with a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe.

And he that was deed came forth bounde hand and fote with grave bondes and his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto the: loowse him and let him goo.

Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary and had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd beleved on him.

But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises and tolde them what Iesus had done.

Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This man doeth many miracles.

Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and the Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people.

And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest that same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all

nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs that one man dye for the people and not that all the people perisshe.

This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people

and not for the people only but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode.

From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder for to put him to deeth.

Iesus therfore walked no more opely amonge the Iewes: but wet his waye thence vnto a countre nye to a wildernes into a cite called Ephraim and there hauted with his disciples.

And the Iewes ester was nye at hand and many went out of the countre vp to Ierusalem before the ester to purify them selves.

Then sought they for Iesus and spake bitwene the selves as they stode in the temple: What thinke ye seynge he cometh not to the feast.

The hye prestes and Pharises had geven a commaundement that yf eny man knew where he were he shuld shewe it that they myght take him.

Then Iesus sixe dayes before ester came to Bethany where Lazarus was which was deed and who Iesus raysed from deeth.

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

Then toke Mary a pounde of oyntmet called Nardus perfecte and precious and anoynted Iesus fete and wipt his fete with her heer and the housse was filled of the savre of the oyntmet.

Then sayde one of his disciples name Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne which afterwarde betrayed him:

why was not this oyntmet solde for thre hondred pence and geve to the poore?

This sayde he not that he cared for the pooer: but because he was a thefe and kept the bagge and bare that which was geven.

Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone agaynst the daye of my buryinge she kept it.

The poore all wayes shall ye have with you but me shall ye not all wayes have.

Moche 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.

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

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

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

toke 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.

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

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

These 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Verely 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.

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

If 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This sayde Iesus signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye.

The people answered him: We have hearde of the lawe that Christ bydeth ever: and how sayest thou then that the sonne of man must be lifte vp? who is that sonne of man?

Then Iesus sayde vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the light with you. Walke whill ye have light lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh in the darke wotteth not whither he goeth.

Whyll ye have light beleve on the light that ye maye be the chyldren of light. These thinges spake Iesus and departed and hyd him silfe from them.

And though he had done so many myracles before them yet beleved not they on him,

that the sayinge of Esayas the Prophet myght be fulfilled that he spake. Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinge? And to whom ys the arme of the Lorde opened?

Therfore coulde they not beleve because that Esaias sayth agayne:

he hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hertes that they shuld not se with their eyes and vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld be converted and I shuld heale them.

Soche thinges sayde Esaias when he sawe his glory and spake of him.

Neverthelesse amonge the chefe rulers many beleved on him. But because of the pharises they wolde not be a knowen of it lest they shuld be excommunicate.

For they loved the prayse that is geven of men more then the prayse that cometh of God.

And Iesus cryed and sayde: he that beleveth on me beleveth not on me but on him that sent me.

And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

I am come a light into the worlde that whosoever beleveth on me shuld not byde in darcknes.

And yf eny man heare my wordes and beleve not I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the worlde: but to save the worlde.

He that refuseth me and receaveth not my wordes hath one that iudgeth him. The wordes that I have spoken they shall iudge him in the last daye.

For I have not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me he gave me a commaundement what I shuld saye and what I shuld speake.

And I knowe that this comaundement is lyfe everlastinge. Whatsoever I speake therfore even as the father bade me so I speake.

Before the feast of ester when Iesus knewe that his houre was come that he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto the father. When he loved his which were in the worlde vnto the ende he loved them.

And when supper was ended after that the devyll had put in the hert of Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne to betraye him:

Iesus knowinge that the father had geve all thinges into his hondes. And that he was come from God and went to God

he rose from supper and layde a syde his vpper garmentes and toke a towell and gyrd him selfe.

After that poured he water into a basyn and beganne to wash his disciples fete and to wype them with the towell wherwith he was gyrde.

Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou wesshe my fete?

Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: what I do thou wotest not now but thou shalt knowe herafter.

Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe my fete whill the worlde stondeth. Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe the not thou shalt have no part with me.

Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde not my fete only: but also my handes and my heed.

Iesus sayde to him: he that is wesshed nedeth not save to wesshe his fete and is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all.

For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene.

After he had wesshed their fete and receaved his clothes and was set doune agayne he sayde vnto them? wot ye what I have done to you?

Ye call me master and Lorde and ye saye well for so am I.

If I then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete.

For I have geven you an ensample that ye shuld do as I have done to you.

Verely verely I saye vnto you the servaunt is not greater then his master nether the messenger greater then he that sent him.

If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them.

I speake not of you all I knowe whom I have chosen. But that the scripture be fulfilled: he that eateth breed with me hath lyfte vp his hele agaynste me.
