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

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.

Then said Jesus, Let her alone: for the day of my burial hath she reserved this.
8 for you always have the poor with yourselves, and you do not always have Me.”
For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.

“Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on the foal of an ass.”
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.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat falling on the earth undergo a deathlike change, it abideth single: but if it thus die, it beareth abundant produce.
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 loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal. (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 a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for your’s.

33 And this He said signifying by what death He was about to die;
And this he said, signifying by 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)

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 said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not even whither he is going.
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 have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.
37 yet He, having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in Him,
Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed 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 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?”
39 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again;
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 hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.”
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him.
These things said Isaiah, when he saw 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,
However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues:
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.
44 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 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 every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
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, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save 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 sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at 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,
Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
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 know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak I. (aiōnios g166)
