| 6He didn't say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it. | 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. |
| 7Jesus answered, "Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of My burial. | 7Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. |

| 9Then a large crowd of the Jews learned He was there. They came not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus the one He had raised from the dead. | 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. |

| 16His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him. | 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. |
| 17Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify. | 17The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. |
| 18This is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard He had done this sign. | 18For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. |

| 26If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me. Where I am, there My servant also will be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. | 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. |

| 33He said this to signify what kind of death He was about to die. | 33This he said, signifying what death he should die. |
| 34Then the crowd replied to Him, "We have heard from the scripture that the Messiah will remain forever. So how can You say, The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" | 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? |
| 35Jesus answered, "The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn't overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn't know where he's going. | 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. |
| 36While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become sons of light." Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them. | 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. |
| 37Even though He had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in Him. | 37But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: |
| 38But this was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said: Lord, who has believed our message? And who has the arm of the Lord been revealed to? | 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? |
| 39This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said: | 39Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, |
| 40He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they would not see with their eyes or understand with their hearts, and be converted, and I would heal them. | 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. |

| 42Nevertheless, many did believe in Him even among the rulers, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be banned from the synagogue. | 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: |
| 43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God. | 43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. |
| 44Then Jesus cried out, "The one who believes in Me believes not in Me, but in Him who sent Me. | 44Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. |
| 45And the one who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. | 45And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. |
| 46I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me would not remain in darkness. | 46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. |
| 47If anyone hears My words and doesn't keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. | 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. |
| 48The one who rejects Me and doesn't accept My sayings has this as his judge: The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day. | 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. |
| 49For I have not spoken on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a command as to what I should say and what I should speak. | 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. |
| 50I know that His command is eternal life. So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me." | 50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. |
