1 Six|strong="G1803" days|strong="G2250" before|strong="G4253" the|strong="G1519" Passover|strong="G3957" Jesus|strong="G2424" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" Bethany, where|strong="G3699" Lazarus|strong="G2976", whom|strong="G3739" he|strong="G3739" had|strong="G2424" raised|strong="G1453" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1519" dead|strong="G3498", was|strong="G1510" living.
2 There|strong="G1563" a|strong="G2532" supper|strong="G1173" was|strong="G1510" given|strong="G1247" in|strong="G2532" his|strong="G4160" honour at|strong="G1537" which|strong="G3588" Martha|strong="G3136" waited|strong="G1247", while|strong="G1161" Lazarus|strong="G2976" was|strong="G1510" one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G1537" those|strong="G3588" present|strong="G4160" at|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" table.
3 So|strong="G3767" Mary|strong="G3137" took|strong="G2983" a|strong="G2532" pound|strong="G3046" of|strong="G1537" choice spikenard|strong="G3487" perfume|strong="G3464" of|strong="G1537" great|strong="G2532" value|strong="G4186", and|strong="G2532" anointed the|strong="G2532" feet|strong="G4228" of|strong="G1537" Jesus|strong="G2424" with|strong="G1537" it|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" then|strong="G3767" wiped|strong="G1591" them|strong="G3588" with|strong="G1537" her|strong="G3137" hair|strong="G2359". The|strong="G2532" whole house|strong="G3614" was|strong="G3588" filled|strong="G4137" with|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" scent of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" perfume|strong="G3464".
4 One|strong="G1520" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" disciples|strong="G3101", Judas|strong="G2455" Iscariot|strong="G2469", who|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" about|strong="G3195" to|strong="G3004" betray|strong="G3860" Jesus|strong="G3004", asked|strong="G3004",
5 ‘Why|strong="G5101" was|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" this|strong="G3778" perfume|strong="G3464" sold|strong="G4097" for|strong="G1223" a|strong="G2532" year’s wages, and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" money given|strong="G1325" to|strong="G2532" poor|strong="G4434" people|strong="G3588"?’
6 He|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778", not|strong="G3756" because|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" cared|strong="G3199" for|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" poor|strong="G4434", but|strong="G1161" because|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2192" thief|strong="G2812", and|strong="G2532", being|strong="G1510" in|strong="G2532" charge of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G2532" purse, used to|strong="G2532" take|strong="G1161" what|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" put|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532".
7 ‘Leave \+w her|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w alone|strong="G1438"\+w*,’ said|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G2424", ‘\+w so|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w that|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w she|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w may|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w keep|strong="G5083"\+w* \+w it|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w until|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w day|strong="G2250"\+w* \+w when|strong="G3767"\+w* \+w my|strong="G5083"\+w* \+w body|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w being|strong="G2443"\+w* prepared \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w burial|strong="G1780"\+w*.
8 \+w The|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w poor|strong="G4434"\+w* \+w you|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w always|strong="G3842"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w with|strong="G3326"\+w* \+w you|strong="G1438"\+w*, \+w but|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w you|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w will|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w always|strong="G3842"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*.’
9 Now|strong="G2532" great|strong="G4183" numbers|strong="G3793" of|strong="G1537" people|strong="G3793" found|strong="G1097" out|strong="G1537" that|strong="G3754" Jesus|strong="G2424" was|strong="G1510" at|strong="G1537" Bethany; and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" there|strong="G1563", not|strong="G3756" only|strong="G3440" because|strong="G3754" of|strong="G1537" him|strong="G3588", but|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2443" see|strong="G3708" Lazarus|strong="G2976", whom|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2424" raised|strong="G1453" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498".
10 The|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests, however|strong="G1161", plotted to|strong="G2443" put|strong="G2532" Lazarus|strong="G2976", as|strong="G1161" well|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2532", to|strong="G2443" death,
11 because|strong="G3754" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" owing to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3754" many|strong="G4183" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G4183" had|strong="G2424" left them|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" becoming believers|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1519" Jesus|strong="G2424".
12 On|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" following|strong="G1887" day|strong="G1887" great|strong="G4183" numbers|strong="G3793" of|strong="G2424" people|strong="G3793" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2424" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" Festival|strong="G1859", hearing that|strong="G3754" Jesus|strong="G2424" was|strong="G3588" on|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" way to|strong="G1519" Jerusalem|strong="G2414", took palm branches,
13 and|strong="G2532" went|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831" to|strong="G1519" meet|strong="G5222" him|strong="G3588", shouting|strong="G2905" as|strong="G1519" they|strong="G2532" went|strong="G1831", ‘God|strong="G2532" save him|strong="G3588"! Blessed|strong="G2127" is|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" who|strong="G3588" comes|strong="G2064" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" name|strong="G3686" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962" – the|strong="G1722" king|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2532" Israel|strong="G2474"!’
14 Having found|strong="G2147" a|strong="G1510" young|strong="G3678" donkey|strong="G3678", Jesus|strong="G2424" seated|strong="G2523" himself on|strong="G1909" it|strong="G1161", in|strong="G1909" accordance with|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1161" passage of|strong="G1909" scripture|strong="G1125" –
15 “Fear|strong="G5399" not|strong="G3361", people|strong="G3361" of|strong="G1909" Zion|strong="G4622". Your|strong="G3708" king|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" coming|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1909" you|strong="G4771", sitting|strong="G2521" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1909" foal of|strong="G1909" a|strong="G1909" donkey|strong="G3688".”
16 His|strong="G1909" disciples|strong="G3101" did|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3756" understand|strong="G1097" all|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" at|strong="G1909" first|strong="G4413"; but|strong="G2532", when|strong="G3753" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" been|strong="G1510" exalted, then|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" remembered|strong="G3403" that|strong="G3754" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" had|strong="G2424" been|strong="G1510" said|strong="G5119" of|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1909" scripture|strong="G1125", and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2424" done|strong="G4160" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" for|strong="G3754" him|strong="G3588".
17 Meanwhile|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G1510" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G3588", when|strong="G3753" he|strong="G2532" called|strong="G5455" Lazarus|strong="G2976" out|strong="G1537" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" tomb|strong="G3419" and|strong="G2532" raised|strong="G1453" him|strong="G3588" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498", were|strong="G1510" telling what|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" seen.
18 This|strong="G3778", indeed|strong="G2532", was|strong="G3588" why|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793" met|strong="G5221" him|strong="G3588" – because|strong="G3754" people|strong="G3793" had|strong="G2532" heard that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" given this|strong="G3778" sign|strong="G4592" of|strong="G1223" his|strong="G1223" mission.
19 So|strong="G3767" the|strong="G4314" Pharisees|strong="G5330" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" one|strong="G3762" another|strong="G1438", ‘You|strong="G3754" see|strong="G3708" that|strong="G3754" you|strong="G3754" are|strong="G3588" gaining nothing|strong="G3762"! Why|strong="G3754", all|strong="G3588" the|strong="G4314" world|strong="G2889" has|strong="G3762" run after|strong="G3694" him|strong="G3588"!’
20 Among|strong="G1722" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G1510" going up|strong="G1722" to|strong="G2443" worship|strong="G4352" at|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Festival|strong="G1859" were|strong="G1510" some|strong="G5100" Greeks|strong="G1672",
21 who|strong="G3588" went|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" Philip|strong="G5376" of|strong="G2532" Bethsaida in|strong="G2532" Galilee|strong="G1056", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘Sir|strong="G2962", we|strong="G2532" wish|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2532" see|strong="G3708" Jesus|strong="G2424".’
22 Philip|strong="G5376" went|strong="G2064" and|strong="G2532" told|strong="G3004" Andrew, and|strong="G2532" then|strong="G2532" together|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2064" and|strong="G2532" told|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G2424".
23 This|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" his|strong="G3588" reply|strong="G3004" – ‘\+w The|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w time|strong="G5610"\+w* \+w has|strong="G5610"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w Son|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w of|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w Man|strong="G5207"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2443"\+w* exalted.

29 The|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793" of|strong="G2532" bystanders|strong="G2476", who|strong="G3588" heard the|strong="G2532" sound, said|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3588" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" thundering.

37 But|strong="G1161", though|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G4160" had|strong="G4160" given so|strong="G1161" many|strong="G5118" signs|strong="G4592" of|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" mission before|strong="G1715" their|strong="G1519" eyes, they|strong="G1161" still did|strong="G4160" not|strong="G3756" believe|strong="G4100" in|strong="G1519" him|strong="G4160",

39 The|strong="G1223" reason|strong="G1223" why|strong="G1223" they|strong="G3754" were|strong="G3778" unable|strong="G3756" to|strong="G3004" believe|strong="G4100" is|strong="G3778" given|strong="G1410" by|strong="G1223" Isaiah|strong="G2268" elsewhere, in|strong="G4100" these|strong="G3778" words –

41 Isaiah|strong="G2268" said|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778", because|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" Christ’s glory|strong="G1391"; and|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" of|strong="G4012" him|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" spoke|strong="G2980".
