John 12:14-25

¹⁴And Jesus found a young ass, and sat on him, as it is written,

¹⁵The daughter of Sion, do not thou dread, (or The daughter of Zion, do not fear); lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s foal or sitting on the colt of a she-ass.

¹⁶His disciples knew not (at) first these things, but when Jesus was glorified, then they had mind, that these things were written of him, and these things they did to him. (His disciples at first did not understand the meaning of these things, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered, that these things were written about him, and that the people had done these things for him.)

¹⁷Therefore the people bare witnessing, that was with him, when he called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from death or and raised him from (the) dead. (And so the people, who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, testified about that.)

¹⁸And therefore the people came, and met with him, for they heard that he had done this sign (or this miracle).

¹⁹Therefore the Pharisees said to themselves, Ye see, that we profit nothing; lo! all the world hath gone after him.

²⁰And there were some heathen men, of them that had come up to worship in the feast day. (And there were some Gentiles, among those who had come to worship on the Feast Day or at the Festival.)

²¹And these came to Philip, that was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and prayed him, and said, Sire, we will see Jesus, or Sire, we would (like to) see Jesus. (And they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and beseeched him, and said, Sir, we want to see Jesus.)

²²Philip cometh, and saith to Andrew; and again Andrew and Philip said to Jesus.

²³And Jesus answered to them, and said, The hour cometh, that man’s Son be clarified, (or The time hath come, for man’s Son to be glorified).

²⁴Truly, truly, I say to you, no but a corn of wheat fall into the earth, and be dead, (or Truly, I tell you the truth, unless a kernel, or a grain, of wheat fall into the earth, and it die), it dwelleth alone; but if it be dead, it bringeth forth much fruit.

²⁵He that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it into everlasting life (or keepeth it safe for eternal life).
