55 And q the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem q ch.2.13. before the passover, to purify themselves.

56 Then r sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a com-. mandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

8 For the poor always ye have with you; but g me ye have not always. 9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the z ch.14.3. dead.

10 T But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also h to death;

11 Because that i by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus."

12 On & the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

y ch.14. 15. Lu.6.46.

He foretelleth has death. 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is n written,

15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

16 These things n understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified,o then remembered p they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

18 For g this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceiver ye how ye prevail nothing behold, the world is gone after him.

20 And there were certain s Greeks among them that t came up to worship at the feast:

21 The same came therefore to% Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

23 T And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is v come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, w Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

25 Hex that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto life eternal.

26 Ify any man serve me, let him follow me; and where z I am, there shall also my servant be: ifa any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

27 Now b is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but c for this cause I came I unto this hour.

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice d from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but e for your sakes.

31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

32 And I, if I be liftedg up from

man?

36 While ye have light, believe in p Ep.5.8. the light, that ye may bep the children of light. These things spake Is.53.1. Jesus, and departed, and did hider Is.6.9,10. himself from them.

37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, q Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias saidr again,

1 Jesus washeth his disciples' feet, 14 and exhorteth them to humility and charity.

No

OW a before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hourb was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having c loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

2 And supper being ended, the d devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

3 Jesus knowing e that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that hef was come from God, and went to God;

4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter and 1 Peter said unto him, Lord, dost g thou wash my feet?

7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus an swered him, Ifh I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit and ye are clean, but not all.

11 Fori he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

13 Ye & call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

14 If I then. your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Christ exhorts his disciples 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

17 Ifm ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

16.4.

18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the n scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19 2 Now I tello you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you,pr ch.20.2. He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that 3 or, morsel. receiveth me receiveth him that s Lu.22.3. sent me.

21 When q Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray

me.

22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom oner of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

21 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a 3sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

27 And after the sop Satan s entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

Lu.22.21.

21.7,20.

23 For some of them thought, t because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give c He.6.20. something to the poor.

30 He then, having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

31 Therefore when he was gone out, Jesus said, Nowu is the Son of man glorified, and God v is glorified in him.

32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and was I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.

er; as I have loved you, that ye al so love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thon? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; buty thou shalt follow me afterwards. 37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake! Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

CHAPTER XIV.

1 Christ comforteth his disciples; 5 professeth himself the way, the truth, and the life.

ET a not your heart be trou bled: ye believe in God, believe b also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I willd come again, and receive you unto myself: that e where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way!

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the f way, the truth, g and the life: h noi man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth

us.

13 And m whatsoever ye shall aski in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,o that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom p the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, andq shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you 1 comfortless Ir will come to you.
