King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 12:1 | Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. |
| 12:2 | There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. |
| 12:3 | Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. |
| 12:4 | But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said, |
| 12:5 | "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" |
| 12:6 | This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money bag; and carried what was put in it. |
| 12:7 | But Jesus said, "Leave her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial." |
| 12:8 | Because, the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always." |
| 12:9 | Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. |
| 12:10 | But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, |
| 12:11 | because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus. |
| 12:12 | On the next day many people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, |
| 12:13 | took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and shouted: "Hosanna! Blessed is the King of Israel who comes in the name of the LORD!" |
| 12:14 | Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: |
| 12:15 | "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt." |
| 12:16 | His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him. |
| 12:17 | Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore record. |
| 12:18 | For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle. |
| 12:19 | The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!" |
| 12:20 | Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. |
| 12:21 | So they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we desire to see Jesus." |
| 12:22 | Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. |
| 12:23 | But Jesus replied to them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified." |
| 12:24 | Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain." |
| 12:25 | He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." |
| 12:26 | If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor." |
| 12:27 | "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour." |
| 12:28 | Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again." |
| 12:29 | Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him." |
| 12:30 | Jesus responded and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake." |
| 12:31 | Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out." |
| 12:32 | And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Me." |
| 12:33 | This He said, signifying by what death He would die. |
| 12:34 | The people responded to Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?" |
| 12:35 | Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; because he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going." |
| 12:36 | While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and hid Himself from them. |
| 12:37 | But although He had done so many miracles before them, they did not believe in Him, |
| 12:38 | that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?" |
| 12:39 | Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: |
| 12:40 | "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, lest they should understand with their hearts and be converted, so that I should heal them." |
| 12:41 | These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. |
| 12:42 | Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed on Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; |
| 12:43 | because they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. |
| 12:44 | Jesus shouted and said, "He who believes on Me, believes not on Me but on Him who sent Me." |
| 12:45 | And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me." |
| 12:46 | I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes on Me should not abide in darkness." |
| 12:47 | And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; because I did not come to judge the world but to save the world." |
| 12:48 | He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him, the word that I have spoken, that will judge him in the last day." |
| 12:49 | Because, I have not spoken from Myself; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak." |
| 12:50 | And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father said to Me, so I speak." |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
