John 12:1-19

1JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sixG1803 daysG2250 before the passoverG3957 cameG2064 to BethanyG963, whereG3699 LazarusG2976 wasG1510, whom JesusG2424 raisedG1453 from the deadG3498. 2So they madeG4160 him a supperG1173 there: and MarthaG3136 servedG1247; but LazarusG2976 wasG1510 oneG1520 of them that sat at meat with him. 3MaryG3137 thereforeG3767 tookG2983 a pound of ointment of pureG4101 nardG3487, very preciousG4186, and anointedG218 the feetG4228 of JesusG2424, and wiped his feetG4228 with her hairG2359: and the houseG3614 was filledG4137 with the odor of the ointment. 4But JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, oneG1520 of his disciplesG3101, that should betrayG3860 him, saith, 5WhyG5101 was not this ointment sold for threeG5145 hundredG5145 shillings, and givenG1325 to the poorG4434? 6NowG1161 this he saidG3004, not because he cared for the poorG4434; but because he wasG1510 a thiefG2812, and having the bag took away what wasG1510 putG906 therein. 7JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, Suffer her to keepG5083 it against the dayG2250 of my burying. 8For the poorG4434 ye have alwaysG3842 with you; but me ye have not alwaysG3842.

9The common peopleG3793 thereforeG3767 of the JewsG2453 learned that he wasG1510 there: and they cameG2064, not for Jesus’G2424 sakeG1223 onlyG3440, but that they might seeG3708 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532, whom he had raisedG1453 from the deadG3498. 10But the chiefG749 priestsG749 took counsel that they might putG615 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532 to deathG615; 11because that by reason of him manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 wentG5217 awayG5217, and believedG4100 on JesusG2424.

12On the morrow a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 that had comeG2064 to the feastG1859, when they heardG191 that JesusG2424 was comingG2064 to JerusalemG2414, 13tookG2983 the branches of the palmG5404 trees, and wentG1831 forthG1831 to meetG5222 him, and cried out, HosannaG5614: BlessedG2127 is he that cometh in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962, evenG2532 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474. 14And JesusG2424, having foundG2147 a young ass, satG2523 thereon; as it isG1510 writtenG1125, 15FearG5399 not, daughterG2364 of ZionG4622: beholdG2400, thy KingG935 cometh, sittingG2521 on an ass’s coltG4454. 16These thingsG3778 understoodG1097 not his disciplesG3101 at the firstG4413: but whenG3753 JesusG2424 wasG1510 glorifiedG1392, then rememberedG3403 they that these thingsG3778 wereG1510 writtenG1125 of him, and that they had done these thingsG3778 unto him. 17The multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767 that wasG1510 with him whenG3753 he calledG5455 LazarusG2976 out of the tombG3419, and raisedG1453 him from the deadG3498, bare witnessG3140. 18For this cause alsoG2532 the multitudeG3793 went and met him, for that they heardG191 that he had done this signG4592. 19The PhariseesG5330 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 among themselves, BeholdG2396 how ye prevail nothing; lo, the worldG2889 is goneG565 after him.
