- 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.
- 2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
- 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.
- 4 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said,
- 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii 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 money bag; and took what was put in it.
- 7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.
- 8 Because, the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
- 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.
- 10 But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also,
- 11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus.
- 12 On the next day many people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
- 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!”
- 14 Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:
- 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
- 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.
- 17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, testified.
- 18 For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle.
- 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”
- 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
- 21 So they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we desire to see Jesus.”
- 22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
- 23 But Jesus replied to them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.
- 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.
- 25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
- 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.
- 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.
- 28 Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
- 29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
- 30 Jesus responded and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.
- 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
- 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Me.”
- 33 This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
- 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?”
- 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.
- 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.
- 37 But although He had done so many miracles before them, they did not believe in Him,
- 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?”
- 39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
- 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.”
- 41 These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.
- 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;
- 43 because they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
- 44 Jesus shouted and said, “He who believes on Me, believes not on Me but on Him who sent Me.
- 45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.
- 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.
- 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.
- 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him, the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.
- 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.
- 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father said to Me, so I speak.”
