4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
Therefore one of His disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver Him up—says,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
“Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?”
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
And he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
Jesus, therefore, said, “Permit her; she has kept it for the day of My embalming,
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
for you always have the poor with yourselves, and you do not always have Me.”
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews knew that He is there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they may also see Lazarus, whom He raised out of the dead;
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
and the chief priests took counsel, that they may also kill Lazarus,
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on a donkey’s colt.
“Do not fear, daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.”
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
And His disciples did not know these things at 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.

18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
because of this the multitude also met Him, because they heard of His having done this sign,
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the celebration,

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

And Jesus responded to them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
truly, truly, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remains alone; and if it may die, it bears much fruit;
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
if anyone may minister to Me, let him follow Me, and where I am, there My servant will be also; and if anyone may minister to Me—the Father will honor him.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there has been thunder; others said, “A messenger has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come because of Me, 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 will the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
And this He said signifying by what death He was about to die;
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
the multitude answered Him, “We heard that the Christ remains out of the Law—throughout the age; and how do You say that it is required that the Son of Man be lifted up? Who is this—the Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Therefore Jesus said to them, “Yet a short time is the light with you; walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness has not known where he goes;
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
while you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” Jesus spoke these things, and having gone away, He was hid from them,
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
yet He, having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in Him,
38 That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath 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 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
“He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn, and I might heal them”;
41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Still, however, out of the rulers many also believed 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 the praise of men more than the praise of God.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
And Jesus cried and said, “He who is believing in Me, does not believe in Me, but in Him who sent Me;
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
and He who is beholding Me, beholds Him who sent Me;
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
I—light to the world—have come, that everyone who is believing in Me may not remain in the darkness;
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
and if anyone may hear My sayings, and not believe, I do not judge him, for I did not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
He who is rejecting Me, and not receiving My sayings, has one who is judging him, the word that I spoke, that will judge him in the last day,
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
because I did not speak from Myself, but the Father who sent Me, He gave Me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
