121Then 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.+
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
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.+
Jesus Predicts His Death
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.+
Belief and Unbelief
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.+
