Nor yet doe you consider that it is expedient for vs, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:

And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.

Then sought they for Iesus, and spake among themselues, as they stoode in the Temple, What thinke ye, that he cometh not to the feast?

Why was not this oyntment sold for three hundreth pence, and giuen to the poore?

Nowe he said this, not that he cared for the poore, but because hee was a theefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was giuen.

For the poore alwayes yee haue with you, but me ye shall not haue alwayes.

Then much people of the Iewes knewe that hee was there: and they came, not for Iesus sake onely, but that they might see Lazarus also, whome he had raysed from the dead.

Because that for his sake many of the Iewes went away, and beleeued in Iesus.

If any man serue me, let him followe me: for where I am, there shall also my seruant be: and if any man serue me, him will my Father honour.

Iesus answered, and said, This voyce came not because of me, but for your sakes.

The people answered him, We haue heard out of the Law, that that Christ bideth for euer: and howe sayest thou, that that Sonne of man must be lift vp? Who is that Sonne of man?

Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Yet a litle while is the light with you: walke while ye haue that light, lest the darkenes come vpon you: for hee that walketh in the darke, knoweth not whither he goeth.

For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.

And if any man heare my wordes, and beleeue not, I iudge him not: for I came not to iudge the world, but to saue the world.

For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the Father which sent me, hee gaue me a commaundement what I should say, and what I should speake.

For hee knewe who should betray him: therefore sayd he, Ye are not all cleane.

Ye call me Master, and Lorde, and ye say well: for so am I.

For I haue giuen you an example, that ye should doe, euen as I haue done to you.

But none of them that were at table, knew, for what cause he spake it vnto him.
