1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.	1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.	2 And they made a dinner for him there. And Martha was ministering. And truly, Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at table with him.
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.	3 And then Mary took twelve ounces of pure spikenard ointment, very precious, and she anointed the feet of Jesus, and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,	4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?	5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.	6 Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry what was put into it.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.	7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.	8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.	9 Now a great multitude of the Jews knew that he was in that place, and so they came, not so much because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;	10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.	11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,	12 Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.	13 took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!”
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,	14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.	15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.	16 At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened to him.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.	17 And so the crowd that had been with him, when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, offered testimony.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.	18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.	19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:	20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.	21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.	22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.	23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.	24 Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.	25 it remains alone. But if it dies, it yields much fruit. Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.	26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. And where I am, there too my minister shall be. If anyone has served me, my Father will honor him.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.	27 Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this reason that I came to this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.	28 Father, glorify your name!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.	29 Therefore, the crowd, which was standing near and had heard it, said that it was like thunder. Others were saying, “An Angel was speaking with him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.	30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.	31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.	32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.	33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?	34 The crowd answered him: “We have heard, from the law, that the Christ remains forever. And so how can you say, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of man?”
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.	35 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. But whoever walks in darkness does not know where is he going.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.	36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may be sons of the Light.” Jesus spoke these things, and then he went away and hid himself from them.
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:	37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?	38 so that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which says: “Lord, who has believed in our hearing? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,	39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.	40 “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted: and then I would heal them.”
41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.	41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:	42 Yet truly, many of the leaders also believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, so that they would not be cast out of the synagogue.
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.	43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.	44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.	45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.	46 I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.	47 And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.	48 Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.	49 For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.	50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, the things that I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so also do I speak.”
