John 12:9-32

⁹Therefore much people of the Jews knew, that Jesus was there; and they came, not only for Jesus, but to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from death or whom he raised from (the) dead.

¹⁰But the princes of (the) priests thought, or sought, to slay Lazarus, (And so the high priests also made plans to kill Lazarus,)

¹¹for many of the Jews went away for him, and believed in Jesus.

¹²But on the morrow much people, that came together to the feast day, when they had heard, that Jesus came to Jerusalem, (But the next morning, many people who had come for the Feast Day, or the Festival, when they had heard, that Jesus had come to Jerusalem,)

¹³took branches of palms, and came forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.

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).

²⁶If any man serve me, (pur)sue he me (or follow me); and where I am, there my minister or my servant shall be. If any man serve me, my Father shall worship him (or my Father shall honour him).

²⁷Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour; but therefore I came into this hour or but for that thing I came into this hour;

²⁸Father, clarify thy name. And a voice came from heaven, and said, And I have clarified (it), and again I shall clarify (it). (Father, glorify thy name. And a voice came from heaven, and said, I have glorified it, and I shall glorify it again.)

²⁹Therefore the people that stood (there), and heard, said, that thunder was made; other men said, an angel spake to him.

³⁰Jesus answered, and said, This voice came not for me, but for you.

³¹Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world shall be cast out. (Now is the Judgement of this world, now the Prince of this world shall be thrown out.)

³²And if I shall be enhanced from the earth, I shall draw all things to myself. (And if I shall be raised or lifted up from the earth, then I shall draw everyone to me.)
