John

12 Jesus therefore six days before the passover came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.

2 So they made for him a supper there; and Martha was ministering, but Lazarus was one of them who were reclining with him.

3 Mary therefore taking a pound of pure nard perfume very precious anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped with her hair his feet; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

4 [But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—

5 Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?

6 Howbeit he said this, not that for the destitute he cared but because a thief he was, and holding the bag used to carry away what was cast therein.

7 Jesus therefore said—Let her alone, that for the day of my burial she may observe it;

8 For the destitute always have ye with you, whereas me not always have ye.

9 The great multitude of the Jews therefore got to know that he was there, and came not on account of Jesus only but that Lazarus also they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.

10 But the High-priests took counsel that Lazarus also they might put to death;

11 because many of the Jews by reason of him were withdrawing and believing on Jesus.

12 On the morrow the great multitude that had come unto the feast hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem

13 took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord,—Even the King of Israel!

14 And Jesus finding a young ass took his seat thereon, just as it is written—

15 Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king cometh, Sitting upon the colt of an ass!

16 These things his disciples noticed not at the first; but when Jesus was glorified then remembered they that these things had for him been written,—and that these things they had done unto him.

17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness.

18 On this account the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done this sign.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves—Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world after him hath gone away.

20 Now there were certain Greeks from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast.

21 These therefore came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee,—and were requesting him saying—Sir! We desire to see Jesus.

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come and tell Jesus.

23 But Jesus answereth them saying—The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified!

24 Verily, verily I say unto you: Except the kernel of wheat shall fall into the ground and die It alone abideth; But if it die Much fruit it beareth.

25 He that loveth his life Loseth it; But he that hateth his life in this world Unto life age-abiding shall guard it.

26 If with me anyone be ministering With me let him be following; And where I am There my minister also shall be. If anyone with me be ministering The Father will honour him.

27 Now is my soul troubled,—And what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But on this account came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!

28 There came therefore a voice out of heaven—I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 [So] the multitude that was standing by and heard it were saying—It hath thundered. Others were saying—A messenger unto him hath spoken.

30 Jesus answered and said—Not for my sake hath this voice come, but for your sake.

31 Now is there a judging of this world,—Now the ruler of this world shall be cast out;

32 And I if I be lifted up out of the earth will draw all unto myself.

33 But this he was saying, 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 evermore; How then dost thou say,—It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?

35 Jesus therefore said unto them—Yet a little while the light is among you: Walk while ye have the light, Lest darkness on you should lay hold; And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he drifteth.

36 While the light ye have Believe on the light, That sons of light ye may become. These things spake Jesus,—and departing was hid from them.

37 And although such signs as these he had done before them they were not believing on him:—

38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled which said—Lord! who believed what we have heard? And the arm of the Lord to whom was it revealed?

39 On this account they could not believe, because again said Isaiah—

40 He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes and should understand with their heart, and should turn,—And I should heal them.

41 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory and spake concerning him.

42 Nevertheless however even from among the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing him, lest excommunicants from the synagogue they should be made;

43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

44 And Jesus cried aloud and said—He that believeth on me Believeth not on me but on him that sent me;

45 And he that vieweth me Vieweth him that sent me.

46 I a light into the world have come, That no one who believeth on me in darkness should abide.

47 And if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings and not guard them I am not judging him; For I came not that I might judge the world, But that I might save the world.

48 He that setteth me aside and receiveth not my sayings Hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake that will judge him in the last day.

49 Because I out of myself spake not, But the Father who sent me hath himself given me commandment, What I should say and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life age-abiding; The things therefore which I speak Just as the Father hath told me So I speak.
