Chapter 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. |
| 2
| There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but
Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. |
| 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. |
|
4 | Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son, which should betray him, |
| 5 | Why was not this ointment sold
for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? |
| 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. |
|
7 | Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against
the day of my burying hath she kept this. |
|
8 | For the poor always ye have
with you; but me ye have not always. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
