¹ Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, who 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 said 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 in it. ⁷ Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying has she kept this. ⁸ For the poor always you have with you; but me you 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, who 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 forward to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes 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: see, your King comes, 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 to 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 you how you prevail nothing+ ? see, 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 comes and tells 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 Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forward much fruit. ²⁵ He that loves his life will lose it; and he that hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. ²⁶ If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. ²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what will I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify your 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 will the prince of this world be cast out. ³² And I, if I 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 abides for ever: and how say you, 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 you have the light, in case darkness come on you: for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes. ³⁶ While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things spoke 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 words of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to who has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ³⁹ Therefore+ they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ He has 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, in case 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 believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that sees me sees him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that whoever believes 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 rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same will 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: anything I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.
