Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

3

Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4

But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,

4

One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,

5

“Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

5

Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?

6

This 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.

6

But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].

7

But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial.

7

Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;

8

For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”

8

for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.

9

The Plot to Kill Lazarus

Now 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.

9

The Plot to Kill Lazarus

A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.

10

But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also,

10

But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,

11

because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

11

because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.

12

The Triumphal Entry

The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

12

The Triumphal Entry

On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,

13

took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”

13

took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.

14

Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

14

And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,

15

“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
Behold, your King is coming,
Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

15

Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's 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.

16

[Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.

17

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

17

The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.

18

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

18

Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.

19

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”

19

The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.

20

The Fruitful Grain of Wheat

Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.

20

Jesus Predicts His Death

And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;

21

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

21

these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.

22

Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

22

Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

23

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

23

But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.

24

Most 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 [d]grain.

24

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.

25

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

25

He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.

26

If 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.

26

If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be *my* servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.

27

Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

“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.

27

Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.

28

Father, glorify Your name.”
Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

28

Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.

29

Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

29

The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.

30

Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

30

Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.

31

Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

31

Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:

32

And I, if I am [e]lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

32

and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.

33

This He said, signifying by what death He would die.

33

But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.

34

The 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?”

34

The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who *is* this, the Son of man?

35

Then 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.

35

Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

36

While 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.

36

While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.

37

Who Has Believed Our Report?

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

37

The Unbelief of the People

But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not 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?”

38

that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39

Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

39

On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,

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.”

40

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.

41

These things Isaiah said [f]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

41

These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

42

Walk in the Light

Nevertheless 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;

42

Some Believe in Jesus

Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:

43

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

43

for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.

44

Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.

44

But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;

45

And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

45

and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.

46

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

46

I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;

47

And if anyone hears My words and does not [g]believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

47

and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

48

He 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.

48

He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.

49

For 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.

49

For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;

50

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

50

and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
