3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, 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 one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:	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 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were 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 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.	7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
8 For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.	8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
9 A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, 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.

14 And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, 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 his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to 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 multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.	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 which reason also the people came to meet him, because 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: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole 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.”

24 Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,	24 Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
25 Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth 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 minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to 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 I came 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.

29 The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke 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 the 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 things to myself.	32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
33 (Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)	33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
34 The multitude 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 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And 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 Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid 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.

38 That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? 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 Isaias 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 Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.	41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
42 However, many of the chief men also believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast 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 glory of men more than the glory of God.	43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in 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 in me, may not remain 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 keep them not, I do not judge him: 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 despiseth 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 who sent me, he gave me 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. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do 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.”
