John 12:1-19

1JesusG2424 thereforeG3767, sixG1803 daysG2250 before the passoverG3957, cameG2064 to BethanyG963, whereG3699 wasG1510 the deadG3498 [man] LazarusG2976, whom JesusG2424 raisedG1453 from among [the] deadG3498.

2There thereforeG3767 they madeG4160 him a supperG1173, and MarthaG3136 servedG1247, but LazarusG2976 wasG1510 oneG1520 of those at table with him.

3MaryG3137 thereforeG3767, having takenG2983 a pound of ointment of pureG4101 nardG3487 of great price, anointedG218 the feetG4228 of JesusG2424, and wiped his feetG4228 with her hairG2359, and the houseG3614 was filledG4137 with the odour of the ointment.

4OneG1520 of his disciplesG3101 therefore, JudasG2455 [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliverG3860 him up, saysG3004,

5WhyG5101 was this ointment not sold for threeG5145 hundredG5145 denariiG1220 and givenG1325 to the poorG4434?

6But he saidG3004 this, not that he cared for the poorG4434, but because he wasG1510 a thiefG2812 and had the bag, and carriedG941 what wasG1510 putG906 into [it].

7JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, Suffer her to have keptG5083 this for the dayG2250 of my preparation for burialG1780;

8for ye have the poorG4434 alwaysG3842 with you, but me ye have not alwaysG3842.

9A greatG4183 crowdG3793 thereforeG3767 of the JewsG2453 knewG1097 that he wasG1510 there; and they cameG2064, not because of JesusG2424 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 that they might seeG3708 LazarusG2976 whom he raisedG1453 from among [the] deadG3498.

10But the chiefG749 priestsG749 took counsel that they might killG615 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532,

11because manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 wentG5217 awayG5217 on his accountG1223 and believedG4100 on JesusG2424.

12On the morrow a greatG4183 crowdG3793 who cameG2064 to the feastG1859, having heardG191 that JesusG2424 is comingG2064 into JerusalemG2414,

13tookG2983 branches of palms and wentG1831 out to meetG5222 him, and cried, HosannaG5614, blessedG2127 [is] he that comesG2064 in the nameG3686 of [the] LordG2962, the KingG935 of IsraelG2474.

14And JesusG2424, having foundG2147 a young ass, satG2523 upon it; as it isG1510 writtenG1125,

15FearG5399 not, daughterG2364 of ZionG4622: beholdG2400, thy KingG935 cometh, sittingG2521 on an ass's coltG4454.

16[Now] his disciplesG3101 knewG1097 not these thingsG3778 at the firstG4413; but whenG3753 JesusG2424 wasG1510 glorifiedG1392, then they rememberedG3403 that these thingsG3778 wereG1510 writtenG1125 of him, and that they had done these thingsG3778 to him.

17The crowdG3793 thereforeG3767 that wasG1510 with him bore witnessG3140 because he had calledG5455 LazarusG2976 out of the tombG3419, and raisedG1453 him from among [the] deadG3498.

18Therefore alsoG2532 the crowdG3793 met him because they had heardG191 that he had done this signG4592.

19The PhariseesG5330 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 to oneG3762 another, Ye seeG3708 that ye profitG5623 nothing: beholdG2396, the worldG2889 is goneG565 after him.
