Revised Version 1895

1JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sixG1803 daysG2250 beforeG4253 theG3588 passoverG3957 cameG2064 toG1519 BethanyG963, whereG3699 LazarusG2976 wasG1510, whomG3739 JesusG2424 raisedG1453 fromG1537 theG3588 deadG3498. 2SoG3767 theyG846 madeG4160 himG846 aG1510 supperG1173 thereG1563: andG2532 MarthaG3136 servedG1247; butG1161 LazarusG2976 wasG1510 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 thatG846 sat at meatG3588 withG4862 himG846. 3MaryG3137 thereforeG3767 tookG2983 a poundG3046 ofG1537 ointmentG3464 ofG1537 spikenard, veryG846 preciousG4186, andG2532 anointedG218 theG3588 feetG4228 ofG1537 JesusG2424, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG4228 withG1537 herG846 hairG2359: andG2532 theG3588 houseG3614 was filledG4137 withG1537 theG3588 odour ofG1537 theG3588 ointmentG3464. 4ButG1161 JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, oneG1520 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101, whichG3588 should betrayG3860 himG846, saith, 5WhyG5101 was notG3756 thisG3778 ointmentG3464 soldG4097 forG1223 threeG5145 hundredG5145 pence, andG2532 givenG1325 toG2532 theG3588 poorG4434? 6NowG1161 thisG3778 heG2532 saidG3004, notG3756 becauseG3754 heG2532 cared forG3754 theG3588 poorG4434; butG1161 becauseG3754 heG2532 wasG1510 a thiefG2812, andG2532 havingG2192 theG3588 bag took awayG941 whatG3588 wasG1510 putG906 therein. 7JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, Suffer herG846 toG1519 keepG5083 itG846 againstG1519 theG3588 dayG2250 ofG2250 myG5083 burying. 8ForG1063 theG3588 poorG4434 ye have alwaysG3842 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1473 ye have notG3756 alwaysG3842. 9TheG3588 common peopleG3793 thereforeG3767 ofG1537 theG3588 JewsG2453 learnedG1097 thatG3754 heG2532 wasG1510 thereG1563: andG2532 theyG3767 cameG2064, notG3756 forG3754 Jesus’G2424 sakeG1223 onlyG3440, butG235 thatG3754 theyG3767 mightG2532 seeG3708 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532, whomG3739 heG2532 had raisedG1453 fromG1537 theG3588 deadG3498. 10ButG1161 theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749 took counsel thatG2443 theyG2532 mightG2532 putG615 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532 toG2443 deathG615; 11becauseG3754 thatG3754 byG1223 reasonG1223 ofG1223 himG846 manyG4183 ofG1223 theG3588 JewsG2453 wentG5217 awayG5217, andG2532 believedG4100 onG1519 JesusG2424. 12OnG1519 theG3588 morrow a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 thatG3754 had comeG2064 toG1519 theG3588 feastG1859, whenG191 theyG3754 heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comingG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, 13tookG2983 theG3588 branchesG902 ofG2962 theG3588 palmG5404 treesG5404, andG2532 wentG1831 forthG1831 toG1519 meetG5222 himG846, andG2532 criedG2905 outG1831, HosannaG5614: BlessedG2127 is heG2532 thatG846 cometh inG1722 theG3588 nameG3686 ofG2962 theG3588 LordG2962, evenG2532 theG3588 KingG935 ofG2962 IsraelG2474. 14AndG1161 JesusG2424, having foundG2147 aG1510 youngG3678 ass, satG2523 thereon; asG2531 itG846 isG1510 writtenG1125, 15FearG5399 notG3361, daughterG2364 ofG1909 ZionG4622: beholdG2400, thy KingG935 cometh, sittingG2521 onG1909 an ass’s coltG4454. 16TheseG3778 thingsG3778 understoodG1097 notG3756 hisG846 disciplesG3101 at theG3588 firstG4413: butG235 whenG3753 JesusG2424 wasG1510 glorifiedG1392, thenG2532 rememberedG3403 theyG846 thatG3754 theseG3778 thingsG3778 wereG1510 writtenG1125 ofG1909 himG846, andG2532 thatG3754 theyG846 had doneG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778 unto himG846. 17TheG3588 multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767 thatG3754 wasG1510 withG3326 himG846 whenG3753 heG2532 calledG5455 LazarusG2976 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 tombG3419, andG2532 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 theG3588 deadG3498, bare witnessG3140. 18ForG3754 thisG3778 causeG4160 alsoG2532 theG3588 multitudeG3793 wentG5221 andG2532 metG5221 himG846, forG3754 thatG3754 theyG846 heardG191 thatG3754 heG2532 had doneG4160 thisG3778 signG4592. 19TheG3588 PhariseesG5330 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 amongG4314 themselvesG1438, BeholdG2396 howG3754 ye prevail nothingG3762: loG2396, theG3588 worldG2889 is goneG565 afterG3694 himG846. 20NowG1161 thereG1510 wereG1510 certainG5100 GreeksG1672 amongG1722 thoseG3588 thatG2443 wentG305 upG305 toG2443 worshipG4352 at theG3588 feastG1859: 21theseG3778 thereforeG3767 cameG4334 toG3004 PhilipG5376, whichG3588 was ofG575 BethsaidaG966 ofG575 GalileeG1056, andG2532 askedG2065 himG846, sayingG3004, SirG2962, weG3778 wouldG2962 seeG3708 JesusG2424. 22PhilipG5376 cometh andG2532 telleth AndrewG406: AndrewG406 cometh, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 theyG2532 tellG3004 JesusG2424. 23AndG1161 JesusG2424 answereth themG846, sayingG3004, TheG3588 hourG5610 is comeG2064, thatG2443 theG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 shouldG2443 beG444 glorifiedG1392. 24Verily, verily, IG281 sayG3004 unto youG5210, ExceptG3361 a grainG2590 ofG1093 wheatG4621 fallG4098 intoG1519 theG3588 earthG1093 andG1161 dieG599, itG846 abideth byG3004 itselfG846 aloneG3441; butG1161 ifG1437 itG846 dieG599, itG846 beareth muchG4183 fruitG2590. 25HeG2532 thatG3778 loveth hisG846 lifeG2222 loseth itG846; andG2532 heG2532 thatG3778 hateth hisG846 lifeG2222 inG1722 thisG3778 worldG2889 shallG3778 keepG5442 itG846 unto lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26IfG1437 anyG5100 manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, letG1510 himG846 followG190 meG1473; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG2532 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG1249 beG1510: ifG1437 anyG5100 manG5100 serveG1247 meG1473, himG846 willG1510 theG3588 FatherG3962 honour. 27NowG3568 is myG3004 soulG5590 troubledG5015; andG2532 whatG5101 shallG3778 IG1473 sayG3004? FatherG3962, saveG4982 meG3004 fromG1537 thisG3778 hourG5610. ButG235 forG1519 thisG3778 cause cameG2064 IG1473 unto thisG3778 hourG5610. 28FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thy nameG3686. ThereG3962 cameG2064 thereforeG3767 a voiceG5456 outG1537 ofG1537 heavenG3772, saying, IG2532 have bothG2532 glorifiedG1392 itG3825, andG2532 willG2532 glorifyG1392 itG3825 againG3825. 29TheG3588 multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767, thatG3004 stoodG2476 byG3004, andG2532 heardG191 itG846, saidG3004 thatG3004 itG846 had thunderedG1027: othersG243 saidG3004, AnG1096 angelG32 hath spokenG2980 toG3004 himG846. 30JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, ThisG3778 voiceG5456 hath notG3756 comeG1096 forG1223 myG1096 sakeG1223, butG235 forG1223 yourG2532 sakesG1223. 31NowG3568 isG1510 theG3588 judgmentG2920 ofG3588 thisG3778 worldG2889: nowG3568 shallG3778 theG3588 princeG758 ofG3588 thisG3778 worldG2889 beG1510 castG1544 outG1854. 32AndG1093 IG1437, ifG1437 IG1437 beG3956 liftedG5312 up fromG1537 theG3956 earthG1093, willG3956 drawG1670 allG3956 menG3956 unto myselfG1683. 33ButG1161 thisG3778 heG3778 saidG3004, signifyingG4591 byG3004 whatG4169 manner ofG3004 deathG2288 heG3778 shouldG3778 dieG599. 34TheG3588 multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 himG846, WeG2249 haveG1510 heardG191 outG1537 ofG5207 theG3588 lawG3551 thatG3754 theG3588 ChristG5547 abideth forG1519 everG165: andG2532 howG4459 sayest thou, TheG3588 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444 must beG1510 liftedG5312 upG1210? whoG3588 isG1510 thisG3778 SonG5207 ofG5207 manG444? 35JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto themG846, YetG2532 a little whileG1722 isG1510 theG3588 lightG5457 amongG1722 youG5210. WalkG4043 whileG1722 ye have theG3588 lightG5457, thatG2443 darknessG4653 overtakeG2638 youG5210 notG3756: andG2532 heG2532 thatG2443 walketh inG1722 theG3588 darknessG4653 knoweth notG3756 whither heG2532 goeth. 36WhileG5613 ye have theG3588 lightG5457, believeG4100 onG1519 theG3588 lightG5457, thatG2443 ye mayG2532 becomeG1096 sonsG5207 ofG5207 lightG5457. TheseG3778 thingsG3778 spake JesusG2424, andG2532 heG2532 departedG565 andG2532 hidG2928 himselfG846 fromG575 themG846. 37ButG1161 thoughG1161 heG846 had doneG4160 soG1161 manyG5118 signsG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yetG1161 theyG846 believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846: 38thatG3739 theG3588 wordG3056 ofG3056 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396 mightG2532 beG2532 fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 heG2532 spake, LordG2962, whoG3739 hath believedG4100 ourG2532 reportG3056? AndG2532 toG2443 whomG3739 hath theG3588 armG1023 ofG3056 theG3588 LordG2962 beenG2532 revealedG601? 39ForG3754 thisG3778 cause theyG3754 couldG1410 notG3756 believeG4100, forG3754 thatG3754 IsaiahG2268 saidG3004 againG3825, 40HeG2532 hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 heG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; LestG3361 theyG846 shouldG2443 seeG3708 withG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 perceiveG3708 withG2532 theirG846 heartG2588, AndG2532 shouldG2443 turnG4762, AndG2532 IG2532 shouldG2443 healG2390 themG846. 41TheseG3778 thingsG3778 saidG3004 IsaiahG2268, becauseG3754 heG2532 sawG3708 hisG846 gloryG1391; andG2532 heG2532 spake ofG1391 himG846. 42NeverthelessG235 evenG2532 ofG1537 theG3588 rulersG758 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846; butG235 becauseG1223 ofG1537 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 theyG846 didG1096 notG3756 confessG3670 itG846, lestG3361 theyG846 shouldG2443 beG1096 putG656 outG1537 ofG1537 theG3588 synagogueG656: 43forG1063 they lovedG25 theG3588 gloryG1391 ofG2316 menG444 moreG3123 thanG2260 theG3588 gloryG1391 ofG2316 GodG2316. 44AndG2532 JesusG2424 criedG2896 andG2532 saidG3004, HeG2532 thatG3004 believeth onG1519 meG3004, believeth notG3756 onG1519 meG3004, butG1161 onG1519 himG2532 thatG3004 sentG3992 meG3004. 45AndG2532 heG2532 that beholdeth meG1473 beholdeth himG2532 that sentG3992 meG1473. 46IG1473 amG1473 comeG2064 a lightG5457 intoG1519 theG3956 worldG2889, thatG2443 whosoever believeth onG1722 meG1473 mayG2443 notG3361 abideG3306 inG1722 theG3956 darknessG4653. 47AndG2532 ifG1437 anyG5100 manG5100 hearG191 myG191 sayingsG4487, andG2532 keepG5442 themG846 notG3756, IG1473 judgeG2919 himG846 notG3756: forG1063 IG1473 cameG2064 notG3756 toG2443 judgeG2919 theG3588 worldG2889, butG235 toG2443 saveG4982 theG3588 worldG2889. 48HeG2532 thatG3739 rejecteth meG1473, andG2532 receiveth notG3361 myG1722 sayingsG3056, hath oneG3739 thatG3739 judgeth himG846: theG3588 wordG3056 thatG3739 IG1473 spake, theG3588 sameG846 shallG2532 judgeG2919 himG846 inG1722 theG3588 lastG2078 dayG2250. 49ForG3754 IG1473 spake notG3756 fromG1537 myselfG1683; butG235 theG3588 FatherG3962 whichG5101 sentG3992 meG1325, heG2532 hath givenG1325 meG1325 a commandmentG1785, whatG5101 IG1473 shouldG2532 sayG3004, andG2532 whatG5101 IG1473 shouldG2532 speakG2980. 50AndG2532 IG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 hisG846 commandmentG1785 isG1510 lifeG2222 eternalG166: theG3588 thingsG3739 thereforeG3767 whichG3739 IG1473 speakG2980, evenG2532 asG2531 theG3588 FatherG3962 hath saidG3004 unto meG3004, soG3767 IG1473 speakG2980.
