John 12:1-19

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.
