John 12:1-19

11ThereforeG3767, sixG1803 daysG2250 beforeG4253 2the PassoverG3957, JesusG2424 cameG2064 to 3BethanyG963 whereG3699 LazarusG2976 was, whomG3739 JesusG2424 had raisedG1453 from the deadG3498. 2SoG3767 they madeG4160 Him a dinnerG1173 thereG1563, and 4MarthaG3136 was servingG1247; and LazarusG2976 was oneG1520 of thoseG3588 recliningG345 at the table with Him. 35MaryG3137 thenG3767 tookG2983 a 6poundG3046 of veryG4186 expensiveG4186 7perfumeG3464 of pureG4101 nardG3487, and anointedG218 the feetG4228 of JesusG2424 and wipedG1591 His feetG4228 with her hairG2359; and the houseG3614 was filledG4137 with the fragranceG3744 of the perfumeG3464. 4But 8JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, oneG1520 of His disciplesG3101, the one who intendedG3195 to 9betrayG3860 Him, saidG3004, 5“WhyG1223G5101 was thisG3778 perfumeG3464 not soldG4097 for threeG5145 hundredG5145 10denariiG1220 and the proceeds givenG1325 to poorG4434 people?” 6NowG1161 he saidG3004 thisG3778, not becauseG3754 he caredG3199 aboutG4012 the poorG4434, but becauseG3754 he was a thiefG2812, and as he 11keptG2192 the moneyG1101 boxG1101, he used to 12stealG941 fromG941 13what was putG906 into it. 7ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “LeaveG863 her aloneG863, soG2443 thatG2443 she may keepG5083 it 14for 15the dayG2250 of My burialG1780. 816For you alwaysG3842 haveG2192 the poorG4434 with you, but you do not alwaysG3842 haveG2192 Me.”

9The 17largeG4183 crowdG3793 of the JewsG2453 thenG3767 learnedG1097 that He was thereG1563; and they cameG2064, not onG1223 accountG1223 ofG1223 JesusG2424 onlyG3440, but soG2443 thatG2443 they might alsoG2532 seeG3708 LazarusG2976, 18whomG3739 He raisedG1453 from the deadG3498. 10But the chiefG749 priestsG749 plannedG1011 to putG615 LazarusG2976 toG615 deathG615 alsoG2532, 11becauseG3754 19onG1223 accountG1223 ofG1223 him 20manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 were goingG5217 awayG5217 and were believingG4100 in JesusG2424.

12On the nextG1887 dayG1887, when 21the largeG4183 crowdG3793 that had comeG2064 to 22the feastG1859 heardG191 that JesusG2424 was comingG2064 to JerusalemG2414, 13they tookG2983 the branchesG902 of the palmG5404 treesG5404 and wentG1831 outG1831 to meetG5222 Him, and began shoutingG2905, “23HosannaG5614! BlessedG2127 is He who comesG2064 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962, indeedG2532, the 24KingG935 of IsraelG2474!” 14JesusG2424, findingG2147 a youngG3678 donkeyG3678, satG2523 on it; as it is writtenG1125: 15“25Do not fearG5399, daughterG2364 of ZionG4622; beholdG2400, your KingG935 is comingG2064, seatedG2521 on a donkey’sG3688 coltG4454.” 1626TheseG3778 thingsG3778 His disciplesG3101 did not understandG1097 at the firstG4413; but whenG3753 JesusG2424 27was glorifiedG1392, thenG5119 they rememberedG3403 that theseG3778 thingsG3778 were writtenG1125 of Him, and that they had doneG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778 for Him. 17SoG3767 28the 29peopleG3793, who were with Him whenG3753 He calledG5455 LazarusG2976 out of the tombG3419 and raisedG1453 him from the deadG3498, continued to testifyG3140 about Him. 1830For thisG3778 reasonG1223 alsoG2532 the 31peopleG3793 wentG5221 toG5221 meetG5221 Him, 32becauseG3754 they heardG191 that He had performedG4160 thisG3778 33signG4592. 19SoG3767 the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004 34to oneG1438 anotherG1438, “You seeG2334 that you are not accomplishingG5623 anythingG3762; lookG2396, the worldG2889 has goneG565 afterG3694 Him!”
