John.12
[1] Then Jesus six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised
from the dead.
[2] There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but
Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
[3] Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very
costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with
her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the
ointment.
[4] Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son, which should betray him,
[5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred
pence, and given to the poor?
[6] This 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.
[7] Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my
burying hath she kept this.
[8] For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have
not always.
[9] Much 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.
[10] But the chief priests consulted that they might put
Lazarus also to death;
[11] Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went
away, and believed on Jesus.
[12] On the next day much people that were come to the
feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
[13] Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet
him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that
cometh in the name of the Lord.
[14] And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat
thereon; as it is written,
[15] Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh,
sitting on an ass's colt.
[16] These 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.
[17] The people therefore that was with him when he called
Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare
record.
[18] For this cause the people also met him, for that they
heard that he had done this miracle.
[19] The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,
Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone
after him.
[20] And there were certain Greeks among them that came up
to worship at the feast:
[21] The same came therefore to Philip, which was of
Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see
Jesus.
[22] Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew
and Philip tell Jesus.
[23] And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come,
that the Son of man should be glorified.
[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of
wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it
die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that
hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life
eternal.
[26] If 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.
[27] Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say?
Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto
this hour.
[28] Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice
from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify
it again.
[29] The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it,
said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
[30] Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because
of me, but for your sakes.
[31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the
prince of this world be cast out.
[32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all men unto me.
[33] This he said, signifying what death he should
die.
[34] The 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?
[35] Then 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.
[36] While 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.
[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them,
yet they believed not on him:
[38] That 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?
[39] Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias
said again,
[40] He 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.
[41] These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and
spake of him.
[42] Nevertheless 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:
[43] For they loved the praise of men more than the praise
of God.
[44] Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me,
believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
[45] And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
[46] I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
[47] And 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.
[48] He 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.
[49] For 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.
[50] And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so
I speak.
