1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died, whom He raised out of the dead;
So then Jesus came six days before the Passover, to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus 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;
So they gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served it; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined with him at table.
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 Mary took a pound of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over his feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Therefore one of His disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver Him up—says,
Then said Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him,
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?”
"Why was not this perfume sold for fifty dollars, and the proceeds 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.
This he said not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, carrying the purse,
7 Jesus, therefore, said, “Permit her; she has kept it for the day of My embalming,
used to purloin what was put in it. Then said Jesus. "Let her alone. Against the day of my burial has she kept this;
8 for you always have the poor with yourselves, and you do not always have Me.”
for the poor you have with you always, but me you have not always."
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;
When the great mass of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came not alone because of Jesus, but to see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that they may also kill Lazarus,
And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
because it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them, and beginning to believe on Jesus.
12 On the next day, a great multitude that came to the celebration, having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,
Next day the big crowd who had come up for the Passover heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
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”;
and taking branches from the palm trees went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Even Israel’s King!"
14 and Jesus having found a young donkey sat on it, according as it is written,
And Jesus found a young ass and seated himself on it, as it is written,
15 “Do not fear, daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh seated upon an ass’s colt.
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.
His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written concerning him, and what they had done to 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;
Meanwhile the crowd which was with him when he summoned Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, kept witnessing.
18 because of this the multitude also met Him, because they heard of His having done this sign,
For this reason, too, the crowd came to meet him, because they had heard about this sign which he had done.
19 therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, “You see that you do not gain anything, behold, the world went after Him.”
Then the Pharisees said among themselves. "You see! You can do nothing! Look! The world is gone after him!"
20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the celebration,
Now there were certain Greeks among those who had come up to worship during the Passover 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”;
these came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we want to see Jesus."
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Philip went and told Andrew. Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered.
23 And Jesus responded to them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
"The hour is come that the Son of man should be 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;
In solemn truth I tell you that except a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains a single kernel; but if it die it bears a great crop.
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 who loves his life loses it; and he who regards not his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life. (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 one is ready to serve me, let him follow me; and where I am there shall my servant be also. If any man is ready to serve me, him will my Father honor.
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 soul disquieted. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? Nay, for this very cause I am come to this hour.
28 Father, glorify Your Name.” Therefore there came a voice out of Heaven, “I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it]”;
Father, glorify thy name!" Whereupon there came a voice from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there has been thunder; others said, “A messenger has spoken to Him.”
Then the crowd who stood around and heard it, said, "It thundered!" But others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come because of Me, but because of you;
"It is not for my sake," answered Jesus, "that the voice came, but for your sakes.
31 now is a judgment of this world, now will the ruler of this world be cast forth;
Now is a judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be driven out.
32 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
"AND I, IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH, WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO MYSELF."
33 And this He said signifying by what death He was about to die;
(In saying this he was signifying by what kind of death he was to 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)
Then the people answered. "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abides forever. What do you mean by ‘The Son of man must be lifted up’? Who is this 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;
"The Light is among you a little longer," answered Jesus. "Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where 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 you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become Sons of Light."
37 yet He, having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in Him,
With these words Jesus went away and hid himself from them. But although he had wrought such signs in their presence, still they did not believe in 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?”
So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, 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,
This was why they could not believe, because Isaiah 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 make their hearts hard, Lest they should see with their eyes, perceive with their minds, And should turn, and I should heal them.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him.
Isaiah uttered these words because he saw his glory, and he spoke 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,
Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed on him, but did not confess in on account of the Pharisees, for fear lest they be put out of the Synagogue.
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval 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;
Now Jesus, speaking in a loud voice, had said.
45 and He who is beholding Me, beholds Him who sent Me;
"He who believes in me believes not in me, but in Him who sent me; and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 I—light to the world—have come, that everyone who is believing in Me may not remain in the darkness;
Like light am I come into the world, so that no one who believes in me may remain 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 one hears my words and does not keep them, it is not I who judge him; for I am not come 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 who rejects me, and does not receive my words, has indeed a judge. The message which I have spoken, that shall judge 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,
because I have never spoken on my own authority, but the Father himself who sent me gave me commandment what to say and what words to speak.
