John 12:1-19 ▼

1 Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passouer, came to Bethanie, where Lazarus had ben dead, whom he raysed from death.

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

3 Then toke Marie a pounde of oyntment of Spike narde, very costly, and annoynted Iesus feete, and wyped his feete with her heere: and the house was fylled with the odoure of the oyntment.

4 Then sayde one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which shoulde betraye hym.

5 Why was not this oyntment solde for three hundred pence, and geuen to the poore?

6 This he sayde, not that he cared for the poore: but because he was a thiefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geuen.

7 Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone, agaynst the day of my burying hath she kept this.

8 For the poore alwayes shall ye haue with you: but me haue ye not alwayes.

9 Much people of the Iewes therfore had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Iesus sake only: but that they might se Lazarus also, who he raysed from death.

10 But the hye priestes helde a councell, that they myght put Lazarus to death also,

11 Because that for his sake, many of the Iewes went away, and beleued on Iesus.

12 On the next day, much people that were come to ye feast, when they hearde that Iesus should come to Hierusalem,

13 Toke braunches of paulme trees, and went foorth to meete hym, and cryed: Hosanna, blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde commeth, kyng of Israel.

14 And Iesus got a young Asse, and sate theron, as it is written:

15 Feare not daughter of Sion, beholde, thy kyng commeth, sittyng on an Asses colte.

16 These thynges vnderstoode not his disciples at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, the remembred they that such thinges were written of him, & that such thynges they had done vnto hym.

17 The people that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raysed hym from death, bare recorde.

18 Therfore met hym the people also, because they hearde that he had done such a miracle.

19 The pharisees therfore sayde among them selues: perceaue ye, howe ye preuayle nothyng? Beholde, all the whole worlde goeth after hym.
