Then
Jesus six days before the passover came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead,
whom he raised from the dead.
02 There they made him a supper; and Martha
served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at
the table with him.
03 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.
04 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
05 Why was not this ointment sold for three
hundred pence, and given to the poor?
06 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.
07 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against
the day of my burying hath she kept this.
08 For the poor always ye
have with you; but me ye have not always.
09 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.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they
might put Lazarus also to death;
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews
went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 On the next day much people that were come to
the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming
to Jerusalem,
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.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat
thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King
cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
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.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he
called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him
from the dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for
that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,
Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the
world is gone after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that
came up to worship at the feast:
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was
of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying,
Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again
Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour
is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
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.
25 He that loveth his life
shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

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.
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.
28 Father, glorify thy
name. Then came there a voice from
heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and
will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard
it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel
spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This
voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of
this world: now shall the prince of this world be
cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up
from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what
death he should die.
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?
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.
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.
37 But though he had done so many miracles before
them, yet they believed not on him:
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?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that
Esaias said again,
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.
41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his
glory, and spake of him.
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:
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the
praise of God.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that
believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him
that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me
seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into
the world, that whosoever believeth on me should
not abide in darkness.
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.
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.
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.
50 And I know that his
commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I
speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
