TOW a certain man was sick, the town of a Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (It was that Mary which b anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, ber whom thou lovest is sick. 4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but d for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. 7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. 8 His disciples say unto him, Mas ter, the Jews of late e sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?ƒ 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. m ch.3.30-36. b ch.12.3. 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified,h and sent into c He. 12.6. the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I ami the Son of God?

Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time z he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said a I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said,b Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And c he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was d bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seene the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47 Then ƒ gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What g do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all h men will believe on him and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49 And one of them, named i Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 Nor consider that it is k expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather to gether in one the children of God that were scattered m abroad. 53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together n for to put him to death. 51 Jesus therefore walked no more openly o among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, p and there continued with his disciples.

Then came there a voiced 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 shallf the pince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifedg up from Unbelief of the Jews. e earth, will draw all h men unto e. 13 This he said, signifying what eath he should die. 4 The people answered him, We ave heard k out of the law that hrist abideth for ever: and how yest thou, The Son of man must lifted up? who is this Son of an?

CHAPTER XIII. 1 Jesus washeth his disciples' feet, 14 and exhorteth them to humility and charity. NOW [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 he 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 k 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.

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.
