1Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

1Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

2There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

2There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him.

3Then 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.

3Mary took a litron of very expensive perfume made of pure nard and anointed Jesus' feet. She wiped his feet with her hair, and the house became filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

4Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

4But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was going to betray him, asked,

5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

5"Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute?"

6This 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.

6He said this, not because he cared about the destitute, but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the moneybag and would steal what was put into it.

7Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

7Then Jesus said, "Leave her alone so she can observe the day of my burial,

8For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

8because you will always have the destitute with you, but you won't always have me."

9Much 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.

9When the large crowd of Jews realized that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

10But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

10So the high priests planned to kill Lazarus, too,

11Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

11since he was the reason why so many of the Jews were leaving to believe in Jesus.

12On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

12The next day, the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem.

13Took 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.

13So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

14And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

14Then Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written:

15Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

15"Stop being afraid, people of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting upon a donkey's colt!"

16These 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.

16At first, his disciples didn't understand these things. However, when Jesus had been glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that people had done these things to him.

17The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

17So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify to what they had seen.

18For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

18The crowd was going out to meet Jesus because they had heard that he had performed this sign.

19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

19Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

20And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

20Now some Greeks were among those who had come up to worship at the festival.

21The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

21They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."

22Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

22Philip went and told Andrew, and Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.

23And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

23Jesus told them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

24Verily, 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.

24Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces a lot of grain.

25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

25The one who loves his life will destroy it, and the one who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

26If 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.

26If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him."

27Now 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 in turmoil, and what should I say—'Father, save me from this hour'? No! It was for this very reason that I came to this hour.

28Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

28Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again!"

29The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

29The crowd standing there heard this and said that it was thunder. Others were saying, "An angel has spoken to him."

30Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

30Jesus replied, "This voice is for your benefit, not for mine.

31Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

31Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin. Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out.

32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

32As for me, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself."

33This he said, signifying what death he should die.

33He said this to indicate the kind of death he was about to die.

34The 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?

34Then the crowd answered him, "We have learned from the Law that the Messiah remains forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"

35Then 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.

35Jesus replied to the crowd, "The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.

36While 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.

36As long as you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light." After Jesus had said this, he went away and hid from them.

37But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

37Although he had performed numerous signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,

38That 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?

38so that what the prophet Isaiah spoke might be fulfilled when he said: "Lord, who has believed our message, and to whom has the Lord's power been revealed?"

39Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

39This is why they could not believe: Isaiah also said,

40He 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 might not perceive with their eyes, and understand with their mind and turn, and I would heal them."

41These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

41Isaiah said this when he saw his glory and spoke about him.

42Nevertheless 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:

42Yet many people, even some of the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not admit it so they would not be thrown out of the synagogue.

43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

43For they loved the praise of human beings more than the praise of God.

44Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

44Then Jesus said loudly, "The one who believes in me does not believe in me only, but also in the one who sent me.

45And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

45The one who sees me sees the one who sent me.

46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

46I've come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me won't remain in the darkness.

47And 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.

47If anyone hears my words and doesn't keep them, I don't condemn him, because I didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

48He 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.

48The one who rejects me and doesn't receive my words has something to judge him: The word that I've spoken will judge him on the last day,

49For 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.

49because I haven't spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself commanded me what to say and how to speak.

50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

50And I know that what he commands brings eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me."
