John 12

Wycliffe Bible

12 Therefore Jesus before six days of pask came to Bethany, where Lazarus had been dead [where Lazarus was dead], whom Jesus raised.

² And they made to him a supper there, and Martha ministered to him; and Lazarus was one of the men that sat at the meat with him.

³ Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of true nard precious [Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment spikenard, or true nard, precious], and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs; and the house was full-filled with the savour of the ointment.

⁴ Therefore Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that was to betray him, said,

⁵ Why is not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to poor men [and given to needy men]?

⁶ But he said this thing, not for it pertained to him of needy men, but for he was a thief, and had the purses, and bare those things that were sent.

⁷ Therefore Jesus said, Suffer ye her, that into the day of my burying she keep that;

⁸ for ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not evermore have me.^[a]

⁹ Therefore much people of the Jews knew, that Jesus was there; and they came, not only for Jesus, but to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from death [whom he raised from dead].

¹⁰ But the princes of priests thought [for] to slay Lazarus,

¹¹ for many of the Jews went away for him [for many of the Jews for him went away], and believed in Jesus.

¹² But on the morrow much people, that came together to the feast day, when they had heard, that Jesus came to Jerusalem [when they had heard, for Jesus cometh to Jerusalem],

¹³ took branches of palms, and came forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.

¹⁴ And Jesus found a young ass, and sat on [upon] him, as it is written,

¹⁵ The daughter of Sion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's foal. [Daughter of Sion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on the colt of a she ass.]

¹⁶ His disciples knew not first these things, but when Jesus was glorified, then they had mind [then they recorded, or had mind], that these things were written of him, and these things they did to him.

¹⁷ Therefore the people bare witnessing, that was with him, when he called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from death [from dead].

¹⁸ And therefore the people came, and met with him, for they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹ Therefore the Pharisees said to themselves, Ye see, that we profit nothing; lo! all the world hath gone after him [lo! all the world went after him].

²⁰ And there were some heathen men, of them that had come up to worship in the feast day.

²¹ And these came to Philip, that was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and prayed him, and said, Sire, we will see Jesus [and prayed him, saying, Sire, we would see Jesus].

²² Philip cometh, and saith to Andrew; and again Andrew and Philip said to Jesus.

²³ And Jesus answered to them, and said [saying], The hour cometh, that man's Son be clarified.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, but a corn of wheat fall into the earth, and be dead, it dwelleth alone; but if it be dead, it bringeth [forth] much fruit.

²⁵ He that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it into everlasting life.

²⁶ If any man serve me, follow he me; and where I am, there my minister shall be [there and my minister, or servant, shall be]. If any man serve me, my Father shall honour him [my Father shall worship him].

²⁷ Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour; but therefore [but for that thing] I came into this hour;

²⁸ Father, clarify thy name. And a voice came from heaven, and said [saying], And I have clarified, and again I shall clarify.

²⁹ Therefore the people that stood, and heard, said, that thunder was made; other men said, an angel spake to him.

³⁰ Jesus answered, and said, This voice came not for me, but for you.

³¹ Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world shall be cast out.

³² And if I shall be enhanced from the earth, I shall draw all things to myself.

³³ And he said this thing [Soothly this thing he said], signifying by what death he was to die.

³⁴ And the people answered to him, We have heard of the law, that Christ dwelleth without end [for Christ dwelleth into without end]; and how sayest thou, It behooveth man's Son to be areared? Who is this man's Son?

³⁵ And then Jesus saith to them, Yet a little light is in you; walk ye, the while ye have light, that darkness catch you not [that darknesses catch not you]; he that wandereth in darknesses, knoweth not whither he goeth.

³⁶ While ye have light, believe ye in the light, that ye be the children of light. Jesus spake these things, and went, and hid him(self) from them.

³⁷ And when he had done so many miracles before them [Soothly when he had done so many signs, or miracles, before them], they believed not in him;

³⁸ that the word of Esaias, the prophet, should be fulfilled, which he said, Lord, who hath believed to our hearing, and to whom is the arm of the Lord showed?

³⁹ Therefore they might not believe, for again Esaias said,

⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and hath made hard the heart of them [and he hath endured, or made hard, the heart of them], that they see not with eyes, and understand [not] with heart; and that they be converted, and I heal them.

⁴¹ Esaias said these things, when he saw the glory of him, and spake of him.

⁴² Nevertheless of the princes many believed in him, but for the Pharisees they acknowledged not, that they should not be put out of the synagogue;

⁴³ for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me.

⁴⁵ He that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

⁴⁶ I light came into the world, that each that believeth in me, dwell not in darknesses.

⁴⁷ And if any man heareth my words, and keepeth them not, I deem him not [And if any man shall hear my words, and shall not keep, I deem not him]; for I came not, that I deem the world, but that I make the world safe.

⁴⁸ He that despiseth me, and taketh not my words, hath him that shall judge him; that word that I have spoken, [that] shall deem him in the last day [the word that I have spoken, that shall deem him in the last day].

⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself, but that Father that sent me, [he] gave to me a commandment, what I shall say, and what I shall speak.

⁵⁰ And I know, that his commandment is everlasting life; therefore those things that I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.
