John 12

1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. 2 They, therefore, made Him a supper there; and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him. 3 Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, 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, who was about to betray Him, says, 5 “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?" 6 And he said this, not because he cared about the poor; but because he was a thief; and, having the money-box, he was wont to carry what was put . 7 Jesus, therefore, said, 9 The great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead. 10 But the high priests consulted, that they might slay Lazarus also; 11 because, on his account, many of the Jews were going away, and were believing on Jesus. 12 On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried, “Hosanna! blessed is He Who is coming in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!" 14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it has been written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming upon an ass colt." 16 These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him, and that they did these things to Him. 17 The multitude, therefore, that was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was bearing testimony. 18 On this account also, the multitude met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, “Ye see that ye are effecting nothing! Behold, the world went away after Him!" 20 And there were some Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. 21 These, therefore, came to Philipâwho was from Bethsaida of Galileeâand were asking Him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 22 Philip comes and tells Andrew; Andrew and Philip come and tell Jesus. 23 And Jesus answereth them, saying, 28 There came, therefore, a voice out of Heaven, “I both glorified it, and will glorify it again." 29 The multitude, therefore, who stood by and heard , said that it had thundered; others said, “An angel has spoken to Him." 30 Jesus answered and said, 33 But this He said, signifying by what manner of death He was about to die. 34 The multitude, therefore, answered Him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth forever; and how sayest Thou that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is This Son of Man?" 35 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 36 These things spake Jesus, and, going away, He was hidden from them. 37 But, though He had done so many signs before them, they were not believing on Him; 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which He spake, “Lord, who believed our report, and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?" 39 On this account they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, 40 “He hath blinded their eyes, and He hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal them." 41 These things Isaiah said, because he saw His glory; and he spake of Him. 42 Yet, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on Him; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not confess , lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the glory of men, rather than the glory of God. 44 And Jesus cried, and said,
