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:

12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him:

12:3 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:

12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon' s [son], which should betray him:

12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor:

12:6 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:

12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this:

12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always:

12:9 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:

12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death:

12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus:

12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem:

12:13 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:

12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written:

12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass' s colt:

12:16 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:

12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record:

12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle:

12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him:

12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus:

12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus:

12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified:

12:24 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:

12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal:

12:26 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:

12:27 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:

12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again:

12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard [it], said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him:

12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes:

12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out:

12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me:

12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die:

12:34 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:

12:35 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:

12:36 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:

12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

12:38 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:

12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again:

12:40 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:

12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him:

12:42 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:

12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God:

12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me:

12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me:

12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness:

12:47 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:

12:48 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:

12:49 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:

12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak:
