JOHN ยท Chapter 12
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 says 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
has she kept this.
12:8 For the poor always all of you have with you; but me all of you
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 comes 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, your King comes, 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 all of
you how all of you 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 comes and tells Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has 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 abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much
fruit.
12:25 He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates 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 your 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 spoke 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
abides for ever: and how says you, 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 all of you have the light, lest darkness come upon you:
for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes.
12:36 While all of you have light, believe in the light, that all of
you may be the children of light. These things spoke 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 Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the
arm of the Lord been revealed?
12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
12:40 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.
12:41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke 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 believes on me, believes not on
me, but on him that sent me.
12:45 And he that sees me sees him that sent me.
12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes 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 rejects me, and receives not my words, has
one that judges 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.
