 Chapter
12
- 12:1
- Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from
the dead.
- 12:2
- There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus
was one of them that sat at the table with him.
- 12:3
- 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.
- 12:4
- Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's
son, which should betray him,
- 12:5
- Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
given to the poor?
- 12:6
- 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.
- 12:7
- Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
hath she kept this.
- 12:8
- For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
always.
- 12:9
- 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.
- 12:10
- But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
also to death;
- 12:11
- Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away,
and believed on Jesus.
- 12:12
- On the next day much people that were come to the feast,
when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
- 12:13
- 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.
- 12:14
- And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as
it is written,
- 12:15
- Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting
on an ass's colt.
- 12:16
- 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.
- 12:17
- The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus
out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
- 12:18
- For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard
that he had done this miracle.
- 12:19
- The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye
how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
- 12:20
- And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to
worship at the feast:
- 12:21
- The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida
of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
- 12:22
- Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip
tell Jesus.
- 12:23
- And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the
Son of man should be glorified.
- 12:24
- 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.
- 12:25
- He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth
his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
- 12:26
- 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.
- 12:27
- 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.
- 12:28
- Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
- 12:29
- The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that
it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
- 12:30
- Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me,
but for your sakes.
- 12:31
- Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
this world be cast out.
- 12:32
- And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
unto me.
- 12:33
- This he said, signifying what death he should die.
- 12:34
- 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?
- 12:35
- 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.
- 12:36
- 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.
- 12:37
- But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet
they believed not on him:
- 12:38
- 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?
- 12:39
- Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said
again,
- 12:40
- 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.
- 12:41
- These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake
of him.
- 12:42
- 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:
- 12:43
- For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of
God.
- 12:44
- Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth
not on me, but on him that sent me.
- 12:45
- And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
- 12:46
- I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth
on me should not abide in darkness.
- 12:47
- 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.
- 12:48
- 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.
- 12:49
- 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.
- 12:50
- And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever
I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
