4 Therefore one of His disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver Him up—says,
Then said Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, he that 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 ointment 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.
And this he said, not be cause he cared for the poor, but because he was thief, and held the purse, and carried what was put in it.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, “Permit her; she has kept it for the day of My embalming,
But Jesus said: Let her alone; she hath kept it for the day of my burial.
8 for you always have the poor with yourselves, and you do not always have Me.”
For the poor are always with you, but I am not with you 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;
And great multitudes of the Jews heard that he was there: and they came, not only on account of Jesus, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead.
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that they may also kill Lazarus,
And the chief priests deliberated about killing even Lazarus:
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
because many of the Jews, on his account, went and believed in Jesus.
12 On the next day, a great multitude that came to the celebration, having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,
And the next day, a great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to 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”;
took boughs of palm-trees, and went out to meet him. And they cried, and said: Hosanna, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!
14 and Jesus having found a young donkey sat on it, according as it is written,
And Jesus found an ass, and sat upon 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 Sion. Behold, thy king cometh to thee; and he rideth upon a colt, 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.
These things understood not his disciples, at that time; but when Jesus was glorified, then his disciples remembered that these things were written of him, and that they did them 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;
And the multitude that had been with him, testified that he had called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from the dead.
18 because of this the multitude also met Him, because they heard of His having done this sign,
And for this reason, great multitudes went out to meet him, as they had heard that he wrought this sign.
19 therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, “You see that you do not gain anything, behold, the world went after Him.”
But the Pharisees said, one to another: Do ye see, that ye are gaining nothing? For, lo, the whole world is going after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the celebration,
And there were also among the people, some who had come up to worship at the feast.

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;
Verily, verily, I say to you, That a kernel of wheat, unless it fall and die in the ground, remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth numerous fruits.
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, will lose it; and he that hateth his life, in this world, will preserve it unto life everlasting. (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 servant to me, he will come after me; and where I am, there also will my servant be. Him that serveth me, will the 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;
Behold, now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour? But for this very cause, came I to this hour.

29 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there has been thunder; others said, “A messenger has spoken to Him.”
And the multitude standing by, heard it; and they said: There was thunder. But others said: An angel spoke with him.
30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come because of Me, but because of you;
Jesus answered, and said to them: This voice was not for my sake, but for yours.
31 now is a judgment of this world, now will the ruler of this world be cast forth;

32 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.
33 And this He said signifying by what death He was about to die;
And this he said, to show by what manner 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)
The multitude said to him: We have heard from the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, that the Son of man is to 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;
Jesus said to them: A short time longer, the light is with you. Walk, while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. He that walketh in the dark, 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 the light is with you, confide in the light; that ye may be children of the light. These things said Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them.
37 yet He, having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in Him,
And although he wrought all these signs before them, they believed him not;
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 word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: My Lord; who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
39 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
For this reason 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”;
They have blinded their eyes, and darkened their hearts; that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their 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 spake Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and 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,
And of the chiefs also, many believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
for they loved the praise of men, more than the praise 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 Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, believeth 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 have come into the world, a light, that whoever believeth in me, might 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 whoever shall hear my words, and not observe them, I judge him not; for I did not come to judge the world, but to vivify 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,
Whoever rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, there is one to judge him; the word which I speak, will 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,
For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should speak, and what I should say.
