For ye will always have the poor amongst you; but me ye will not always have. 9 A great number of the Jews, knowing where he was, flocked thither, not on account of Jesus only, but likewise to see Lazarus whom he had 10 raised from the dead. The chief priests, there11 fore, determined to kill Lazarus also; because he proved the occasion that many Jews forsook them, and believed on Jesus.

THE ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM.

12 ON the morrow a great multitude who were come Mat. 21; 6o 13 to the festival, hearing that Jesus was on the road Lu. 19; 35 to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees, and went to meet him, crying, Hosanna ", blessed be Israel's King who cometh in the name of the 14 Lord "2. Now Jesus having found a young ass, was

51

riding thereon, agreeably to what is written, 15" Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold thy king Zech. 9; 9. 16" cometh, sitting on an ass's colt." These things the disciples did not understand at first; but after

Jesus was glorified, they remembered that thus it had been written concerning him, and that thus 17 they had done unto him. And the people who had

been present attested that he called Lazarus out 17 of the tomb, and raised him from the dead. It

was the rumour that he had wrought this miracle, 19 which made the people crowd to meet him. pharisees therefore said among themselves, Are ye not sensible that ye have no influence? Behold the world is gone after him.

20

Now among those who came to worship at the 21 festival, there were some Greeks. These applied to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, making this re22 quest, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. Philip went and told Andrew: then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23

Jesus answered them, saying, The time is come 24 when the Son of Man must be glorified. Verily verily I say unto you, when a grain of wheat is thrown into the ground, unless it die, it remain25 eth single; but if it die, it becometh very fruit

ful. He who loveth his life, shall lose it; and he who hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it Lu. 9; 24. 26 eternally in the next. Would any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any man serve me, my Father will reward him.

27

Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? [Shall I say] Father, save me from this hour?' But I came on purpose for this hour. Father, glo28 rify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven,

which said, I have both glorified, and will again

29 glorify it. The people present heard the sound,

and said, It thundered: others said, An angel 30 spake to him. Jesus said, This voice came not 31 for my sake, but for yours. Now must this world

be judged. Now must the prince of this world 32 be cast out. As for me, when I shall be lifted up

from the earth, I will draw all men to myself. 33 This he said alluding to the death which he was 34 to suffer. The people answered, We have learnt Ps. 110; 4. from the law that the Messiah will live for ever. How sayest thou then that the Son of Man must 35 be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of Man? Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light continueth with you; walk, while ye have it, lest darkness overtake you: for he that walketh in 36 darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. Confide in the light, while ye enjoy it, that ye may be sons of light. Having spoken these words, he withdrew himself privately from them.

37

But though he had performed so many miracles 38 before them, they believed not on him; so that the

53

word of the Prophet Isaiah was verified, "Lord, Is. 53; 1. "who hath believed our report?" and "To whom Ro. 10; 1639" is the arm of the Lord 3 discovered?" For this 40 reason they could not believe; Isaiah having said also, "He hath blinded their eyes, and blunted Is. 6; 9. "their understanding, that they might not see with Mar. 4; 12. "their eyes, comprehend with their understanding, Acts, 28,2641" and repent, that I might reclaim them." These Ro. 11; 8.

things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory and 42 spake concerning him. Nevertheless there were several even of the magistrates who believed on him, but, for fear of the pharisees, did not avow 43 it, lest they should be expelled the synagogue; for they preferred the approbation of men to the approbation of God.

44

Then Jesus raising his voice, said, He who believeth on me, it is not on me he believeth, but 45 on him who sent me. And he who beholdeth 46 me, beholdeth him who sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on 47 me, may not remain in darkness. And if any man hear my words, but do not observe them; it is not I who condemn him; for I came, not to con48 demn the world, but to save the world. He who despiseth me and rejecteth my instructions, hath what condemneth him. The doctrine which I have taught will condemn him at the last day. 49 For I have not said any thing from myself, but the Father who sent me, hath commanded me, what I should enjoin, and what I should teach. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Whatever therefore I say, I speak as the Father hath given me in charge.

Mat. 26; 2. XIII. Jesus having, before the feast of the passover, perceived that his time to remove out of this world to his Father was come, and having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the last. 2 Now while they were at supper (the devil having

already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, 'Si3 mon's son, to betray him), Jesus, though he knew that the Father had subjected every thing to him, and that he came from God, and was returning to 4 God, arose from supper, and laying aside his man5 tle, girt himself about with a towel. Then he

6

poured water into the bason, and began to wash
the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the
towel wherewith he was girded.

When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to 7 him, Master, wouldst thou wash my feet? Jesus answered, At present thou dost not comprehend what I am doing; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8 Peter replied, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered, Unless I wash thee, thou canst have 9 no part with me. Simon Peter said to him, Master,

not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus replied, He who hath been bathing, needeth

only to wash his feet; the rest of his body being 11 clean. Ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, 'Ye are not all clean.'

12

After he had washed their feet, he put on his mantle, and replacing himself at the table, said to them, Do ye understand what I have been doing 13 to you? Ye call me the Teacher and the Master; 14 and ye say right; for so I am. If I then, the Más

ter and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye 15 also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have

given you an example that ye should do as I have 16 done unto you. Verily verily I say unto you, the Mat. 10; 24.
