• 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.

  • John 12:2

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

  • John 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.

  • John 12:4

    Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

  • John 12:5

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

  • John 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.

  • John 12:7

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

  • John 12:8

    For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

  • John 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.

  • John 12:10

    But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

  • John 12:11

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

  • John 12:12

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

  • John 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.

  • John 12:14

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

  • John 12:15

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

  • John 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.

  • John 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.

  • John 12:18

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

  • John 12:19

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

  • John 12:20

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

  • John 12:21

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

  • John 12:22

    Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

  • John 12:23

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

  • John 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.

  • John 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.

  • John 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.

  • John 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.

  • John 12:28

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

  • John 12:29

    The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

  • John 12:30

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

  • John 12:31

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

  • John 12:32

    And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

  • John 12:33

    This he said, signifying what death he should die.

  • John 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?

  • John 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.

  • John 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.

  • John 12:37

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

  • John 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?

  • John 12:39

    Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

  • John 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.

  • John 12:41

    These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

  • John 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:

  • John 12:43

    For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

  • John 12:44

    Jesus cried and said,He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

  • John 12:45

    And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

  • John 12:46

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

  • John 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.

  • John 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.

  • John 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.

  • John 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.
