| Chapter 12 |
1 |
Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who 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 Mary took 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 odor of the ointment. -
|
4 |
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to 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 bore what was put in it. -
|
7 |
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this. -
|
8 |
For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. -
|
9 |
Many 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, many people that had 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 his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and that they had done these things to him. -
|
17 |
The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore testimony. -
|
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 to worship at the feast. -
|
21 |
The same came therefore to Philip, who 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 to 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 to 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 honor. -
|
27 |
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to 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 spoke 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 shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to 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 to 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 spoke Jesus, and departed, and concealed 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 Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, 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 Isaiah 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 Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke 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 whoever 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 from myself; but the Father who 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: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak. -
