1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had died, whom He raised out of the dead;
Jesus however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom He 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;
Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down 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.

4 Therefore one of His disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver Him up—says,
Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, 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 ointment sold for three hundred pence 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.
He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, “Permit her; she has kept it for the day of My embalming,
Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as 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 ye have always with you, but me ye 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;
And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that they may also kill Lazarus,
Wherefore the chief priests took counsel to put Lazarus also to death.
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, and believed on Jesus.
12 On the next day, a great multitude that came to the celebration, having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem,
The next day a great multitude that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,
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 went out to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed be the king of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 and Jesus having found a young donkey sat on it, according as it is written,
And Jesus having gotten a young ass sat thereon,
15 “Do not fear, daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes, sitting on a colt of a donkey.”
as it is written, "Fear not, O daughter of Sion, behold thy king cometh sitting on 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.
Now his disciples did not understand these things at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning Him, and that they had done thus unto 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 people that were with Him testified, that He called Lazarus out of 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 the people went to meet Him, 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.”
The pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye not see that ye prevail nothing? Behold, all the world is gone after Him.
20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the celebration,
And among those that came up to worship at the feast there were certain Greeks:
21 these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, “Lord, we wish to see Jesus”;
that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
And Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 And Jesus responded to them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to 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;
Though I tell you indeed and in truth, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth much fruit.
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)
So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto 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 any man would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: and if any one serve 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 soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I 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. Then 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.”
The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake to Him.
30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come because of Me, but because of you;
Jesus answered and said, This voice came 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;
Now is the judgement of this world: now 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, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto me.
33 And this He said signifying by what death He was about to die;
This He said, 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 have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, 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;
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for 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 ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and then went away, and concealed himself from them.
37 yet He, having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in Him,
But though He had done so many miracles before their eyes, yet they did not believe 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?”
so that the word of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, 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,
And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said,
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 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 said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake concerning 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,
There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated.
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 raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me:
45 and He who is beholding Me, beholds Him who sent Me;
and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth 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 whosoever believeth on 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 if any one hear my words and believe not, I do not condemn him: for I am not now come to condemn 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 rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word, that I have spoken, will condemn 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 of myself; but the Father, who sent me, gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
