1Then Jesus six days before the passover came
to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead,
whom he raised from the dead.
2There they made him a supper; and Martha
served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the
table with him.
3Then 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.
4Then saith one of his disciples, Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son,
which should betray him,
5Why was not this ointment sold for three
hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6This 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.
7Then said Jesus, Let
her alone: against the day of my burying hath she
kept this.
8For
the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always.
9Much 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.
10But the chief priests consulted 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 next day much people that were come
to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming
to Jerusalem,
13Took 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.
14And Jesus, when he had found a young ass,
sat thereon; as it is written,
15Fear not, daughter of Sion: 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 people therefore that was with him when
he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him
from the dead, bare record.
18For this cause the people also met him, for
that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19The Pharisees therefore said among
themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing?
behold, the world is gone after him.
20And there were certain Greeks among them
that came up to worship at the feast:
21The same came therefore to Philip, which
was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him,
saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again
Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23And Jesus answered them, saying, The
hour is come, that the Son of man should be
glorified.
24Verily,
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.
25He
that loveth his life shall lose 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 my Father
honour.
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. Then came there a voice
from heaven, saying,
I have both glorified it,
and will glorify it again.
29The people therefore, that stood by, and
heard it,
said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake
to him.
30Jesus answered and said, This
voice came not because of me, 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
me.
33This he said, signifying what death he
should die.
34The 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?
35Then 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.
36While
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.
37But though he had done so many miracles
before them, yet they believed not on him:
38That 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?
39Therefore they could not believe, because
that Esaias said again,
40He 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.
41These things said Esaias, when he saw his
glory, and spake of him.
42Nevertheless 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:
43For they loved the praise of men more than
the praise of God.
44Jesus cried and said, He
that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on
him that sent me.
45And
he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46I
am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47And
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.
48He
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.
49For
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.
50And
I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father
said unto me, so I speak
