For Iesus was not yet come in to ye towne, but was yet in the place, where Martha met him.

But some of the saide: Coulde no the which opened the eyes of ye blynde, haue made also, that this ma shulde not haue dyed?

But Iesus groned agayne in himself, and came to the graue. It was a caue, and a stone layed on it.

Howbeit I knowe, that thou hearest me allwaye: but because of ye people that stonde by, I sayde it, that they maye beleue, that thou hast sent me.

But some of the wente their waye vnto the pharises, and tolde the what Iesus had done.

But one of them, named Caiphas, which was hye prest that same yeare, sayde vnto them: Ye knowe nothinge nether considre ye eny thinge at all.

This spake he not of himself, but for so moch as he was hye prest of the same yeare, he prophecied. For Iesus was for to dye for the people,

and not for the people onely, but that he shulde gather together the children of God, which were scatered abrode:

Iesus walked nomore openly amonge the Iewes, but wente from thence in to a countre by the wyldernesse, to a cite called Ephraim, & there had he his beynge with his disciples.

There they made him a supper, and Martha serued. But Lazarus was one of them, that sat at the table with him.

(This sayde he not that he cared for the poore, but because he was a thefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geue.)

For the poore haue ye allwaye with you, but me haue ye not allwaye.

Then moch people of the Iewes had knowlege, that he was there, and they came not for Iesus sake onely, but also yt they might se Lazarus, whom he had raysed from the deed.

But ye hye prestes were aduysed to put Lazarus to death also:

Neuertheles his disciples vnderstode not these thinges at the first, but whan Iesus was glorified, then remebred they that soch thinges were wrytte of him, and that they had done soch thinges vnto him.

But the pharises sayde amonge them selues: Ye se, that we preuayle nothinge, beholde, all ye worlde runneth after him.

Verely verely I saye vnto you: Excepte the wheatcorne fall in to the grounde, and dye, it bydeth alone: But yf it dye, it bryngeth forth moch frute.

Now is my soule heuy, and what shal I saye? Father, helpe me out of this houre. But therfore am I come in to this houre.

Iesus answered, and sayde: This voyce came not because of me, but for youre sakes.

(But this he sayde, to signifye, what death he shulde dye.)
