John 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. |
