John 12
1ThenG3767 JesusG2424 sixG1803 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the passoverG3957 cameG2064 toG1519 BethanyG963, whereG3699 LazarusG2976 wasG1510 which had been deadG2348, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498. 2ThereG1563 they madeG4160 himG846 a supperG1173; andG2532 MarthaG3588G3136 servedG1247: butG1161 LazarusG2976 wasG1510 oneG1520 of them that sat at the tableG4873 with himG846. 3ThenG3767 tookG2983 MaryG3137 a poundG3046 of ointmentG3464 of spikenardG3487, very costlyG4186, and anointedG218 the feetG3588G4228 of JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 withG3588G2359 herG846 hairG3588G2359: andG1161 the houseG3614 was filledG4137 withG1537 the odourG3588G3744 of the ointmentG3588G3464. 4ThenG3767 saithG3004 oneG1520 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, Simon’sG4613 son, which shouldG3195 betrayG3860 himG846, 5Why wasG5101 notG3756 thisG3778 ointmentG3588G3464 soldG4097 forG1223 three hundredG5145 penceG1220, andG2532 givenG1325 to the poorG4434? 6ThisG3778 he saidG3004, notG3756 thatG3754 heG846 caredG3199 forG4012 the poorG3588G4434; butG235 becauseG3754 he wasG1510 a thiefG2812, andG2532 hadG2192 the bagG3588G1101, andG2532 bareG941 what was put thereinG3588G906. 7ThenG3767 saidG3004 JesusG3588G2424, LetG863 herG846 aloneG863: againstG1519 the dayG3588G2250 ofG3588G1780 myG1473 buryingG3588G1780 hath she keptG5083 thisG846. 8ForG1063 the poorG4434 alwaysG3842 ye haveG2192 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1473 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842. 9MuchG4183 peopleG3793 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 knewG1097 thatG3754 he wasG1510 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG2064 notG3756 forG1223 Jesus’G3588G2424 sakeG1223 onlyG3440, butG235 thatG2443 they might seeG3708 LazarusG3588G2976 alsoG2532, whomG3739 he had raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
10ButG1161 the chief priestsG3588G749 consultedG1011 thatG2443 they might putG615 LazarusG3588G2976 alsoG2532 to deathG615; 11BecauseG3754 that by reason ofG1223 himG846 manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 went awayG5217, andG2532 believedG4100 onG1519 JesusG3588G2424.
12On the next dayG1887 muchG4183 peopleG3793 thatG3588 were comeG2064 toG1519 the feastG3588G1859, when they heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG3588G2424 was comingG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, 13TookG2983 branchesG3588G902 of palm treesG3588G5404, andG2532 wentG1831 forthG1519 to meetG5222 himG846, andG2532 criedG2896, HosannaG5614: BlessedG2127 is the KingG3588G935 of IsraelG2474 that comethG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 14AndG1161 JesusG3588G2424, when he had foundG2147 a young donkeyG3678, satG2523 thereonG1909; asG2531 it isG1510 writtenG1125, 15FearG5399 notG3361, daughterG2364 of ZionG4622: beholdG3708, thyG4771 KingG3588G935 comethG2064, sittingG2521 onG1909 a donkey’sG3688 coltG4454. 16These thingsG3778 understoodG1097 notG3756 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 at the firstG4413: butG235 whenG3753 JesusG3588G2424 was glorifiedG1392, thenG5119 remembered theyG3403 thatG3754 these thingsG3778 wereG1510 writtenG1125 ofG1909 himG846, andG2532 that they had doneG4160 these thingsG3778 unto himG846. 17The peopleG3588G3793 thereforeG3767 that wasG1510 withG3326 himG846 whenG3753 he calledG5455 LazarusG3588G2976 out ofG1537 his graveG3588G3419, andG2532 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, bare recordG3140. 18ForG1223 thisG3778 causeG1223 the peopleG3588G3793 alsoG2532 metG5221 himG846, for thatG3754 they heard thatG191 heG846 had doneG4160 thisG3778 miracleG3588G4592. 19The PhariseesG3588G5330 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 amongG4314 themselvesG1438, Perceive yeG2334 howG3754 ye prevailG5623 nothingG3756G3762? beholdG3708, the worldG3588G2889 is goneG565 afterG3694 himG846.
20AndG1161 there wereG1510 certainG5100 GreeksG1672 amongG1537 them that came upG305 to worshipG4352 atG1722 the feastG3588G1859: 21The sameG3778 cameG4334 thereforeG3767 to PhilipG5376, which was ofG575 BethsaidaG966 of GalileeG3588G1056, andG2532 desiredG2065 himG846, sayingG3004, SirG2962, we wouldG2309 seeG3708 JesusG3588G2424. 22PhilipG5376 comethG2064 andG2532 tellethG3004 AndrewG3588G406: andG2532 againG3825 AndrewG406 andG2532 PhilipG5376 tellG3004 JesusG3588G2424.
23AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, The hourG3588G5610 is comeG2064, thatG2443 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 should be glorifiedG1392. 24VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ExceptG1437 a grainG3588G2848 of wheatG3588G4621 fallG4098 intoG1519 the groundG3588G1093 and dieG599, itG846 abidethG3306 aloneG3441: butG1161 ifG1437 it dieG599, it bringeth forthG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590. 25He that lovethG5368 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 shall loseG622 itG846; andG2532 he that hatethG3404 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 shall keepG5442 itG846 untoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26IfG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, let him followG190 meG1473; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG1510 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG3588G1249 beG1510: ifG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, himG846 willG5091 my FatherG3588G3962 honourG5091. 27NowG3568 isG5015 myG1473 soulG3588G5590 troubledG5015; andG2532 whatG5101 shall I sayG3004? FatherG3962, saveG4982 meG1473 fromG1537 thisG3778 hourG3588G5610: butG235 forG1223 thisG3778 causeG1223 came IG2064 untoG1519 thisG3778 hourG3588G5610. 28FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thyG4771 nameG3588G3686. ThenG3767 came thereG2064 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772, saying, I haveG1392 bothG2532 glorifiedG1392 it, andG2532 will glorifyG1392 it againG3825. 29The peopleG3588G3793 thereforeG3767, that stood byG3588G2476, andG2532 heardG191 it, said thatG3004 it thunderedG1027G1096: othersG243 saidG3004, An angelG32 spakeG2980 to himG846. 30JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, ThisG3778 voiceG3588G5456 cameG1096 notG3756 becauseG1223 of meG1473, butG235 forG1223 yourG4771 sakesG1223. 31NowG3568 isG1510 the judgmentG2920 ofG3588G2889 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889: nowG3568 shallG1544 the princeG3588G758 ofG3588G2889 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 be castG1544 outG1854. 32And IG2504, ifG1437 I be lifted upG5312 fromG1537 the earthG3588G1093, will drawG1670 allG3956 men untoG4314 meG1683. 33ThisG3778 he saidG3004, signifyingG4591 whatG4169 deathG2288 he shouldG3195 dieG599. 34The peopleG3588G3793 answeredG611 himG846, WeG1473 have heardG191 outG1537 of the lawG3588G3551 thatG3754 ChristG3588G5547 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG3588G165: andG2532 howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771, The SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 mustG1163 be lifted upG5312? whoG5101 isG1510 thisG3778 SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444? 35ThenG3767 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto themG846, YetG2089 a littleG3398 whileG5550 isG1510 the lightG3588G5457 withG3326 youG4771. WalkG4043 whileG2193 ye haveG2192 the lightG3588G5457, lestG2443 darknessG4653 come uponG2638 youG4771: forG2532 he that walkethG4043 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653 knowethG1492 notG3756 whitherG4226 he goethG5217. 36WhileG2193 ye haveG2192 lightG3588G5457, believeG4100 inG1519 the lightG3588G5457, thatG2443 ye may beG1096 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457. These thingsG3778 spakeG2980 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 departedG565, and did hide himselfG2928 fromG575 themG846.
37ButG1161 thoughG4160 heG846 had doneG4160 so manyG5118 miraclesG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yet they believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846: 38ThatG2443 the sayingG3588G3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG3588G4396 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spakeG3004, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG1473 reportG3588G189? andG2532 to whomG5101 hathG601 the armG3588G1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601? 39ThereforeG1223 they couldG1410 notG3756 believeG4100, becauseG3754 thatG3778 IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 againG3825, 40He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG3588G2588; thatG2443 they shouldG3708 notG3361 seeG3708 withG3588G3788 their eyesG3588G3788, norG2532 understandG3539 withG3588G2588 their heartG3588G2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846. 41These thingsG3778 saidG3004 IsaiahG2268, whenG3753 he sawG3708 hisG846 gloryG3588G1391, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846.
42NeverthelessG3676 amongG1537 the chief rulersG3588G758 alsoG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846; butG235 becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG3588G5330 they didG3670 notG3756 confessG3670 him, lestG2443 they should beG1096 put out of the synagogueG656: 43ForG1063 they lovedG25 the praiseG3588G1391 of menG3588G444 moreG3123 thanG2260 the praiseG3588G1391 of GodG3588G2316.
44JesusG2424 criedG2896 andG2532 saidG3004, He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1473, believethG4100 notG3756 onG1519 meG1473, butG235 onG1519 him that sentG3992 meG1473. 45AndG2532 he that seethG2334 meG1473 seethG2334 him that sentG3992 meG1473. 46IG1473 am comeG2064 a lightG5457 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1519 meG1473 shouldG3306 notG3361 abideG3306 inG1722 darknessG3588G4653. 47AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 hearG191 myG1473 wordsG3588G4487, andG2532 believeG4100 notG3361, IG1473 judgeG2919 himG846 notG3756: forG1063 I cameG2064 notG3756 toG2443 judgeG2919 the worldG3588G2889, butG235 toG2443 saveG4982 the worldG3588G2889. 48He that rejectethG114 meG1473, andG2532 receivethG2983 notG3361 myG1473 wordsG3588G4487, hathG2192 one that judgethG2919 himG846: the wordG3588G3056 thatG3739 I have spokenG2980, the sameG1565 shall judgeG2919 himG846 inG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250. 49ForG3754 IG1473 haveG2980 notG3756 spokenG2980 ofG1537 myselfG1683; butG235 the FatherG3962 which sentG3992 meG1473, heG846 gaveG1325 meG1473 a commandmentG1785, whatG5101 I should sayG3004, andG2532 whatG5101 I should speakG2980. 50AndG2532 I knowG1492 thatG3754 hisG846 commandmentG3588G1785 isG1510 lifeG2222 everlastingG166: whatsoeverG3739 IG1473 speakG2980 thereforeG3767, even asG2531 the FatherG3588G3962 saidG2046 unto meG1473, soG3779 I speakG2980.
