4 Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
[But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
Jesus, therefore, said—Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it;
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
9 A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10 But the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;
11 because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Jesus.

And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written—
15 "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt of an ass.
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written, —and that, these things, they had done unto him.

23 And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
But, Jesus, answereth them, saying—The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified!
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.
25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios )

26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
27 "Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.
Now, is my soul troubled, —and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!

30 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesus answered, and said—Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Now, is there, a judging, of this world, —Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out;
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself.
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.
34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn )
The multitude, therefore, answered him—We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say, —It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? (aiōn )
35 Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus, —and, departing, was hid from them.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him: —
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said—Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?
39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah—
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn, —and I should heal them.
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;
43 for they loved praise from people more than praise from God.
for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
44 Then Jesus shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
And, Jesus, cried aloud, and said—He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me;
45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.
47 And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 He who rejects me, and does not accept my words, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him on the last day.
He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 I know that his commandment is everlasting life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak." (aiōnios )
And I know that, his commandment, is, life age-abiding; The things, therefore, which I speak, just as the Father hath told me, so, I speak. (aiōnios )
