John 12

1ThenG3767 JesusG2424 sixG1803 daysG2250 beforeG4253 the passoverG3957 cameG2064 toG1519 BethanyG963, whereG3699 LazarusG2976 wasG2258 whoG3588 had been deadG2348, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498. 2ThereG1563G3767 they madeG4160 himG846 a supperG1173; andG2532 MarthaG3136 servedG1247: butG1161 LazarusG2976 wasG2258 oneG1520 of them that sat at the tableG4873 with himG846. 3ThenG3767 MaryG3137 tookG2983 a poundG3046 of ointmentG3464 of spikenardG3487G4101, very costlyG4186, and anointedG218 the feetG4228 of JesusG2424, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG4228 with herG846 hairG2359: andG1161 the houseG3614 was filledG4137 withG1537 the odourG3744 of the ointmentG3464. 4ThenG3767 saithG3004 oneG1520 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101, JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, Simon’sG4613 son, whoG3588 was toG3195 betrayG3860 himG846, 5WhyG1302 wasG4097 notG3756 thisG5124 ointmentG3464 soldG4097 for three hundredG5145 penceG1220, andG2532 givenG1325 to the poorG4434? 6ThisG5124 he saidG2036, notG3756 thatG3754 heG846 caredG3199 forG4012 the poorG4434; butG235 becauseG3754 he wasG2258 a thiefG2812, andG2532 hadG2192 the bagG1101, andG2532 boreG941 what was put in itG906. 7ThenG3767 saidG2036 JesusG2424, LetG863 herG846 aloneG863: forG1519 the dayG2250 of myG3450 burialG1780 hath she keptG5083 thisG846. 8ForG1063 the poorG4434 ye haveG2192 alwaysG3842 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1691 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842. 9ManyG4183 peopleG3793 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 knewG1097 thatG3754 he wasG2076 thereG1563: andG2532 they cameG2064 notG3756 forG1223 JesusG2424’ sake onlyG3440, butG235 thatG2443 they might seeG1492 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532, whomG3739 he had raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498. 10ButG1161 the chief priestsG749 consultedG1011 thatG2443 they might putG615 LazarusG2976 alsoG2532 to deathG615; 11BecauseG3754 that by reasonG1223 of himG846 manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 went awayG5217, andG2532 believedG4100 onG1519 JesusG2424.

12On the next dayG1887 manyG4183 peopleG3793 that had comeG2064 toG1519 the feastG1859, when they heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comingG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, 13TookG2983 branchesG902 of palm treesG5404, andG2532 went forthG1831 toG1519 meetG5222 himG846, andG2532 criedG2896, HosannaG5614: BlessedG2127 is the KingG935 of IsraelG2474 that comethG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 14AndG1161 JesusG2424, when he had foundG2147 a young donkeyG3678, satG2523 onG1909 itG846; asG2531 it isG2076 writtenG1125, 15FearG5399 notG3361, daughterG2364 of ZionG4622: beholdG2400, thyG4675 KingG935 comethG2064, sittingG2521 onG1909 a donkey’sG3688 coltG4454. 16These thingsG5023 hisG846 disciplesG3101 understoodG1097 notG3756 at the firstG4412: butG235 whenG3753 JesusG2424 was glorifiedG1392, thenG5119 they rememberedG3415 thatG3754 these thingsG5023 wereG2258 writtenG1125 concerningG1909 himG846, andG2532 that they had doneG4160 these thingsG5023 to himG846. 17The peopleG3793 thereforeG3767 that wereG5607 withG3326 himG846 whenG3753 he calledG5455 LazarusG2976 out ofG1537 his graveG3419, andG2532 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, bore witnessG3140. 18For thisG5124 causeG1223 the peopleG3793 alsoG2532 metG5221 himG846, for thatG3754 they heardG191 thatG846 he had doneG4160 thisG5124 miracleG4592. 19The PhariseesG5330 thereforeG3767 saidG2036 amongG4314 themselvesG1438, Perceive yeG2334 howG3754 ye prevailG5623 nothingG3756G3762? beholdG2396, the worldG2889 is goneG565 afterG3694 himG846.

20AndG1161 there wereG2258 certainG5100 GreeksG1672 amongG1537 them that came upG305 toG2443 worshipG4352 atG1722 the feastG1859: 21The sameG3778 cameG4334 thereforeG3767 to PhilipG5376, who was ofG575 BethsaidaG966 of GalileeG1056, andG2532 desiredG2065 himG846, sayingG3004, SirG2962, we wouldG2309 seeG1492 JesusG2424. 22PhilipG5376 comethG2064 andG2532 tellethG3004 AndrewG406: andG2532 againG3825 AndrewG406 andG2532 PhilipG5376 tellG3004 JesusG2424. 23AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, The hourG5610 is comeG2064, thatG2443 the SonG5207 of manG444 should be glorifiedG1392. 24VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 to youG5213, ExceptG3362 a grainG2848 of wheatG4621 fallG4098 intoG1519 the groundG1093 and dieG599, itG846 abidethG3306 aloneG3441: butG1161 ifG1437 it dieG599, it bringeth forthG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590. 25He that lovethG5368 hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622 itG846; andG2532 he that hatethG3404 hisG846 lifeG5590 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG2889 shall keepG5442 itG846 toG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166. 26IfG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, let him followG190 meG1698; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG2071 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG1249 beG2071: ifG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, himG846 willG5091 my FatherG3962 honourG5091.

27NowG3568 isG5015 myG3450 soulG5590 troubledG5015; andG2532 whatG5101 shall I sayG2036? FatherG3962, saveG4982 meG3165 fromG1537 thisG5026 hourG5610: butG235 for thisG5124 causeG1223 I cameG2064 toG1519 thisG5026 hourG5610. 28FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thyG4675 nameG3686. ThenG3767 came thereG2064 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, saying, I haveG1392 bothG2532 glorifiedG1392 it, andG2532 will glorifyG1392 it againG3825. 29The peopleG3793 thereforeG3767, that stood byG2476, andG2532 heardG191 it, saidG3004 that it thunderedG1096G1027: othersG243 saidG3004, An angelG32 spokeG2980 to himG846. 30JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036, ThisG3778 voiceG5456 cameG1096 notG3756 because ofG1223 meG1691, butG235 forG1223 your sakesG5209G1223. 31NowG3568 isG2076 the judgmentG2920 of thisG5127 worldG2889: nowG3568 shallG1544 the princeG758 of thisG5127 worldG2889 be castG1544 outG1854. 32And IG2504, ifG1437 I shall be lifted upG5312 fromG1537 the earthG1093, will drawG1670 allG3956 men toG4314 meG1683. 33ThisG5124 he saidG3004, signifyingG4591 whatG4169 deathG2288 he shouldG3195 dieG599. 34The peopleG3793 answeredG611 himG846, WeG2249 have heardG191 out ofG1537 the lawG3551 thatG3754 ChristG5547 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG165: andG2532 howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771, The SonG5207 of manG444 mustG1163 be lifted upG5312? whoG5101 isG2076 thisG3778 SonG5207 of manG444? 35ThenG3767 JesusG2424 saidG2036 to themG846, YetG2089 a littleG3398 whileG5550 isG2076 the lightG5457 withG3326 youG5216. WalkG4043 whileG2193 ye haveG2192 the lightG5457, lestG3363 darknessG4653 come uponG2638 youG5209: forG2532 he that walkethG4043 inG1722 darknessG4653 knowethG1492 notG3756 whereG4226 he goethG5217. 36WhileG2193 ye haveG2192 lightG5457, believeG4100 inG1519 the lightG5457, thatG2443 ye may beG1096 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457. These thingsG5023 spokeG2980 JesusG2424, and departedG565, andG2532 was hiddenG2928 fromG575 themG846.

37ButG1161 though heG846 had doneG4160 so manyG5118 miraclesG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yet they believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846: 38ThatG2443 the sayingG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spokeG2036, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG2257 reportG189? andG2532 to whomG5101 hath the armG1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601? 39ThereforeG5124G1223 they couldG1410 notG3756 believeG4100, becauseG3754 that IsaiahG2268 saidG2036 againG3825, 40He hath blindedG5186 theirG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 hardenedG4456 theirG846 heartG2588; thatG3363 they shouldG1492 notG3363 seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, norG2532 understandG3539 with their heartG2588, andG2532 be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846. 41These thingsG5023 saidG2036 IsaiahG2268, whenG3753 he sawG1492 hisG846 gloryG1391, andG2532 spokeG2980 ofG4012 himG846.

42NeverthelessG3676G3305 amongG1537 the chief rulersG758 alsoG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846; butG235 becauseG1223 of the PhariseesG5330 they didG3670 notG3756 confessG3670 him, lestG3363 they should beG1096 put out of the synagogueG656: 43ForG1063 they lovedG25 the praiseG1391 of menG444 moreG3123 thanG2260 the praiseG1391 of GodG2316.

JesusG2424 criedG2896 andG2532 saidG2036, He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691, believethG4100 notG3756 onG1519 meG1691, butG235 onG1519 him that sentG3992 meG3165. 45AndG2532 he that seethG2334 meG1691 seethG2334 him that sentG3992 meG3165. 46IG1473 am comeG2064 a lightG5457 intoG1519 the worldG2889, thatG3363 whoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 shouldG3306 notG3363 abideG3306 inG1722 darknessG4653. 47AndG2532 ifG3362 any manG5100 hearG191 myG3450 wordsG4487, andG2532 believeG4100 notG3362, IG1473 judgeG2919 himG846 notG3756: forG1063 I cameG2064 notG3756 toG2443 judgeG2919 the worldG2889, butG235 toG2443 saveG4982 the worldG2889. 48He that rejectethG114 meG1691, andG2532 receivethG2983 notG3361 myG3450 wordsG4487, hathG2192 one that judgethG2919 himG846: the wordG3056 thatG3739 I have spokenG2980, the sameG1565 shall judgeG2919 himG846 inG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250. 49ForG3754 IG1473 haveG2980 notG3756 spokenG2980 fromG1537 myselfG1683; butG235 the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 meG3165, heG846 gaveG1325 meG3427 a commandmentG1785, whatG5101 I should sayG2036, andG2532 whatG5101 I should speakG2980. 50AndG2532 I knowG1492 thatG3754 hisG846 commandmentG1785 isG2076 lifeG2222 everlastingG166: whateverG3739 IG1473 speakG2980 thereforeG3767, even asG2531 the FatherG3962 saidG2046 to meG3427, soG3779 I speakG2980.
