< John 12 >

1 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passeouer, came to Bethania, where Lazarus was, who died, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him.
3 Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Then tooke Mary a pound of oyntment of Spikenarde very costly, and anoynted Iesus feete, and wiped his feete with her heare, and the house was filled with the sauour of the oyntment.
4 One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
Then said one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which should betray him:
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
Why was not this oyntment sold for three hundreth pence, and giuen to the poore?
6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
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.
7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
Then said Iesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying she kept it.
8 for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
For the poore alwayes yee haue with you, but me ye shall not haue alwayes.
9 A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
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.
10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
The hie Priestes therefore consulted, that they might put Lazarus to death also,
11 because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
Because that for his sake many of the Iewes went away, and beleeued in Iesus.
12 On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
On the morowe a great multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus should come to Hierusalem,
13 took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
Tooke branches of palme trees, and went foorth to meete him, and cried, Hosanna, Blessed is the King of Israel that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
And Iesus found a yong asse, and sate thereon, as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
Feare not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King commeth sitting on an asses colte.
16 [Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
But his disciples vnderstoode not these thinges at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, then remembred they, that these thinges were written of him, and that they had done these things vnto him.
17 The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
The people therefore that was with him, bare witnesse that hee called Lazarus out of the graue, and raised him from the dead.
18 Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
Therefore mette him the people also, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
And the Pharises said among themselues, Perceiue ye howe ye preuaile nothing? Beholde, the worlde goeth after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;
Nowe there were certaine Greekes among them that came vp to worship at the feast.
21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.
And they came to Philippe, which was of Bethsaida in Galile, and desired him, saying, Syr, we would see that Iesus.
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
Philippe came and tolde Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philippe tolde Iesus.
23 But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man must bee glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except the wheate corne fall into the grounde and die, it bideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth foorth much fruite.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
He that loueth his life, shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
If any man serue me, let him follow me: for where I am, there shall also my seruant be: and if any man serue me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
Now is my soule troubled: and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre: but therefore came I vnto this houre.
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voyce from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and will glorifie it againe.
29 The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
Then saide the people that stoode by, and heard, that it was a thunder: other said, An Angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
Iesus answered, and said, This voyce came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
Now is the iudgement of this world: nowe shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
And I, if I were lift vp from the earth, will drawe all men vnto me.
33 But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
Nowe this sayd he, signifying what death he should die.
34 The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of man? (aiōn g165)
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? (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
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.
36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.
While ye haue that light, beleeue in that light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and hid himselfe from them.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,
And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleeued they not on him,
38 that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
That the saying of Esaias the Prophete might be fulfilled, that he sayd, Lord, who beleeued our report? and to whome is the arme of the Lord reueiled?
39 On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
Therefore could they not beleeue, because that Esaias saith againe,
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and should be conuerted, and I should heale them.
41 These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
These things sayd Esaias when he sawe his glory, and spake of him.
42 Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
Neuertheles, euen among the chiefe rulers, many beleeued in him: but because of the Pharises they did not confesse him, least they should be cast out of the Synagogue.
43 for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.
44 But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
And Iesus cryed, and sayd, He that beleeueth in me, beleeueth not in me, but in him that sent me.
45 and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth in me, should not abide in darkenes.
47 and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
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.
48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
He that refuseth me, and receiueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him: the worde that I haue spoken, it shall iudge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the Father which sent me, hee gaue me a commandement what I should say, and what I should speake.
50 and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
And I knowe that his commandement is life euerlasting: the thinges therefore that I speake, I speake them so as the Father sayde vnto me. (aiōnios g166)
