John 12
โ John 11 | John | John 13 โ
v1
Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
v2
So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
v3
Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesusโs feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
v4
Then Judas Iscariot, Simonโs son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
v5
โWhy wasnโt this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?โ
v6
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
v7
But Jesus said, โLeave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
v8
For you always have the poor with you, but you donโt always have me.โ
v9
A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesusโ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
v10
But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
v11
because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
v12
On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
v13
they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, โHosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!โ
v14
Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
v15
โDonโt be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkeyโs colt.โ
v16
His disciples didnโt understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
v17
The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
v18
For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
v19
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, โSee how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.โ
v20
Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
v21
These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, โSir, we want to see Jesus.โ
v22
Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
v23
Jesus answered them, โThe time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
v24
Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
v25
He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
v26
If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
v27
โNow my soul is troubled. What shall I say? โFather, save me from this time?โ But I came to this time for this cause.
v28
Father, glorify your name!โ Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, โI have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.โ
v29
Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, โAn angel has spoken to him.โ
v30
Jesus answered, โThis voice hasnโt come for my sake, but for your sakes.
v31
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
v32
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.โ
v33
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
v34
The multitude answered him, โWe have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, โThe Son of Man must be lifted up?โ Who is this Son of Man?โ
v35
Jesus therefore said to them, โYet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesnโt overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesnโt know where he is going.
v36
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.โ Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
v37
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didnโt believe in him,
v38
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, โLord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?โ
v39
For this cause they couldnโt believe, for Isaiah said again,
v40
โHe has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.โ
v41
Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
v42
Nevertheless even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didnโt confess it, so that they wouldnโt be put out of the synagogue,
v43
for they loved menโs praise more than Godโs praise.
v44
Jesus cried out and said, โWhoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
v45
He who sees me sees him who sent me.
v46
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
v47
If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesnโt believe, I donโt judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
v48
He who rejects me, and doesnโt receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
v49
For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
v50
I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.โ
