4 Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'
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.
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.
7 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'
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.
A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
10 But the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Jesus.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,
13 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."

14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
15 "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
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.

17 The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may 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 to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;
25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; (aiōnios g166)
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 any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
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 hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour;
28 Father, glorify your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

29 The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30 Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;
34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son of Man?' (aiōn g165)
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 to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;
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 ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in 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 he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
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, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of 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,
Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
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 and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who 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 to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
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 any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge 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 who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging 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 spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
