4 B ut one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, 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 fragrant oil 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 T his he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in 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 B ut Jesus said, “Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.

Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,

for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'

9 N ow a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, 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 B ut the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also,

and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

11 b ecause on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus. The Triumphal Entry

because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.

12 T he next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they 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,

14 T hen Jesus, when He had 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 “ Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

`Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'

16 H is 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.

And these things his disciples did not know at the 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.

17 T herefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

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;

18 F or this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,

19 T he Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!” The Fruitful Grain of Wheat

And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,

21 T hen they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

these then came near to Philip, who from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, `Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'

22 P hilip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

23 B ut Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

And Jesus responded to them, saying, `The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;

24 M ost assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

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 H e who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

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;

26 I f anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

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 shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose 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 F ather, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify;'

29 T herefore the people 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 J esus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

Jesus answered and said, `Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;

31 N ow is the judgment of this world; now the ruler 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 A nd I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'

33 T his He said, signifying by what death He would die.

And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;

34 T he people answered Him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’ ? Who is this Son of Man?”

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?'

35 T hen Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in 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 W hile you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them. Who Has Believed Our Report?

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 B ut although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,

38 t hat 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 L ord 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 T herefore they could not believe, because 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 hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should 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 T hese things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. Walk in the Light

these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

42 N evertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should 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 f or they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

44 T hen Jesus cried out and said, “He who 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 A nd 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 should not abide in darkness.

I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;

47 A nd if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come 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 H e who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in 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 F or I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, 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,

50 A nd I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'
