< John 12 >

1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died, whom He raised out of 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 they made, therefore, a dinner to Him there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together 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 spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair, and the house was filled from the fragrance 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 Therefore one of His disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is 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 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.
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, “Permit her; she has kept it for the day of My embalming,
Then said Iesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying she kept it.
8 for you always have the poor with yourselves, and you do not always have Me.”
For the poore alwayes yee haue with you, but me ye shall not haue alwayes.
9 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;
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 and the chief priests took counsel, that they may also kill Lazarus,
The hie Priestes therefore consulted, that they might put Lazarus to death also,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
Because that for his sake many of the Iewes went away, and beleeued in Iesus.
12 On the next day, a great multitude that came to the celebration, having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,
On the morowe a great multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus should come to Hierusalem,
13 took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet Him, and were crying, “Hosanna! Blessed [is] He who is coming 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 donkey sat on it, according as it is written,
And Iesus found a yong asse, and sate thereon, as it is written,
15 “Do not fear, daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.”
Feare not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King commeth sitting on an asses colte.
16 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.
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 multitude, therefore, who are with Him, were testifying that He called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him out of 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 because of this the multitude also met Him, because they heard of His having done this sign,
Therefore mette him the people also, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, “You see that you do not gain anything, behold, the world went 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 out of those coming up that they may worship in the celebration,
Nowe there were certaine Greekes among them that came vp to worship at the feast.
21 these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, “Lord, we wish 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 and Philip tell Jesus.
Philippe came and tolde Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philippe tolde Iesus.
23 And Jesus responded to them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man must bee glorified.
24 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;
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 who is cherishing his life will lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world will keep it to continuous life; (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 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.
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 My soul has been troubled; and what will I say—Father, save Me from this hour? But because of this I came 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 Your Name.” Therefore there came a voice out of Heaven, “I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it]”;
Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voyce from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and will glorifie it againe.
29 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there has been thunder; others said, “A messenger 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, “This voice has not come because of Me, but because of you;
Iesus answered, and said, This voyce came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 now is a judgment of this world, now will the ruler of this world be cast forth;
Now is the iudgement of this world: nowe shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
And I, if I were lift vp from the earth, will drawe all men vnto me.
33 And this He said signifying by what death He was about to die;
Nowe this sayd he, signifying what death he should die.
34 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)
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 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;
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 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,
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 yet He, having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in Him,
And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleeued they not on him,
38 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?”
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 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
Therefore could they not beleeue, because that Esaias saith againe,
40 “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”;
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 Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him.
These things sayd Esaias when he sawe his glory, and spake of him.
42 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,
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 the glory of men more than the glory of God.
For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.
44 And Jesus cried and said, “He who is believing in Me, does not believe in Me, but in Him who 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 who is beholding Me, beholds Him who sent Me;
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46 I—light to the world—have come, that everyone who is believing in Me may not remain in the darkness;
I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth in me, should not abide in darkenes.
47 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.
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 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,
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 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,
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 have known that His command is continuous life; what, therefore, I speak, according 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)
