| 1 | Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. |
| 2 | So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him. |
| 3 | Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. |
| 4 | But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith, |
| 5 | Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor? |
| 6 | Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein. |
| 7 | Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying. |
| 8 | For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. |
| 9 | The common people therefore of the Jews learned 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 took counsel 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 morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, |
| 13 | took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel. |
| 14 | And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, |
| 15 | Fear not, daughter of Zion: 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 multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness. |
| 18 | For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign. |
| 19 | The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him. |
| 20 | Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast: |
| 21 | these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. |
| 22 | Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus. |
| 23 | And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. |
| 24 | Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. |
| 25 | He that loveth his life loseth 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 the Father honor. |
| 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. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying], I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. |
| 29 | The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. |
| 30 | Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, 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 myself. |
| 33 | But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die. |
| 34 | The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? |
| 35 | Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. |
| 36 | While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them. |
| 37 | But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him: |
| 38 | that the word of Isaiah 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 | For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again, |
| 40 | He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them. |
| 41 | These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him. |
| 42 | Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue: |
| 43 | for they loved the glory [that is] of men more than the glory [that is] of God. |
| 44 | And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. |
| 45 | And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me. |
| 46 | I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness. |
| 47 | And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them 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 sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day. |
| 49 | For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. |
| 50 | And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. |
