Chapter 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. |
