| 1 Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. 2 So they made him a
supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat
with him. 3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very
precious, 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 But Judas
Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith, 5 Why was
not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?
6 Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was
a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein. 7 Jesus
therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying. 8 For
the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. 9 The common
people therefore of the Jews learned 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 took counsel 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 morrow a great
multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming
to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to
meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord, even the King of Israel. 14 And Jesus, having found a
young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not, daughter of Zion:
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 multitude therefore that was with him when
he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare
witness. 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that
they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said
among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after
him. 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship
at the feast: 21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh
and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus. 23 And
Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be
glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall
into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth
much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life loseth 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 the Father honor. 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. There came therefore a voice
out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it
again. 29 The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that
it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. 30 Jesus
answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, 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 myself. 33 But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he
should die. 34 The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of
the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man
must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 35 Jesus therefore said unto
them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the
light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness
knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have the light, believe on the
light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he
departed and hid himself from them. 37 But though he had done so many
signs before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 that the word of
Isaiah 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 For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said
again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart;
Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart,
And should turn,
And I should heal them.
41 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of
him. 42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because
of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out
of the synagogue: 43 for they loved the glory that is of men more
than the glory that is of God. 44 And Jesus cried and said, He
that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And
he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into
the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
47 And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them 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 sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I
spake, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I spake not from
myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I
should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is
life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath
said unto me, so I speak.
