5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?

7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8 for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'
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.

15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
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.
And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

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.
verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;
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 who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; (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 one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
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 hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour;
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.

29 The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30 Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31 Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
And this he said signifying by what death he was about to 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 multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where 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 have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in 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 word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
39 On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
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 might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
41 These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
these things said Isaiah, when he saw 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:
Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
43 for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
46 I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
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 one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save 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 who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge 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;
because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
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 have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.' (aiōnios g166)
