1Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was , whom Jesus raised from the dead . 2So they made him a supper there : and Martha served ; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him . 3Mary 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 . 4But Judas Iscariot , one of his disciples , that should betray him , saith , 5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor ? 6Now 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 . 7Jesus therefore said , Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying . 8For the poor ye have always with you ; but me ye have not always .
The Triumphal Entry
9The 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 . 10But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death; 11because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away , and believed on Jesus . 12On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast , when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem , 13took 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 . 14And Jesus , having found a young ass , sat thereon ; as it is written , 15Fear not , daughter of Zion : behold , thy King cometh , sitting on an ass ’s colt . 16These 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 . 17The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb , and raised him from the dead , bare witness . 18For this cause also the multitude went and met him , for that they heard that he had done this sign . 19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves , Behold how ye prevail nothing ; lo , the world is gone after him .
Jesus Predicts His Death
20Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast : 21these therefore came to Philip , who was of Bethsaida of Galilee , and asked him , saying , Sir , we would see Jesus . 22Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh , and Philip , and they tell Jesus . 23And Jesus answereth them , saying , The hour is come , that the Son of man should be glorified . 24Verily, 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 . 25He that loveth his life loseth it ; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26If 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 . 27Now is my soul troubled ; and what shall I say ? Father , save me from this hour . But for this cause came I unto this hour . 28Father , glorify thy name . There came therefore a voice out of heaven , saying , I have both glorified it , and will glorify it again . 29The multitude therefore , that stood by , and heard it , said that it had thundered : others said , An angel hath spoken to him . 30Jesus answered and said , This voice hath not come for my sake , but for your sakes . 31Now is the judgment of this world : now shall the prince of this world be cast out . 32And I , if I be lifted up from the earth , will draw all men unto myself . 33But this he said , signifying by what manner of death he should die . 34The 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 ? 35Jesus 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 . 36While 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 .
The Unbelief of the People
37But though he had done so many signs before them , yet they believed not on him : 38that 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? 39For this cause they could not believe , for that Isaiah said again , 40He 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 . 41These things said Isaiah , because he saw his glory ; and he spake of him . 42Nevertheless 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: 43for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God . 44And Jesus cried and said , He that believeth on me , believeth not on me , but on him that sent me . 45And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me . 46I am come a light into the world , that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness . 47And 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 . 48He 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 . 49For 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 . 50And 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 .
