Chapter 12

1


 

  Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.  

 

 

--

2


 

  And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, 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 one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:  

 

 

--

5


 

  Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?  

 

 

--

6


 

  Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.  

 

 

--

8


 

  For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.  

 

 

--

9


 

  A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.  

 

 

--

10


 

  But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:  

 

 

--

11


 

  Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.  

 

 

--

12


 

  And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,  

 

 

--

13


 

  Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.  

 

 

--

14


 

  And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:  

 

 

--

15


 

  Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.  

 

 

--

16


 

  These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.  

 

 

--

17


 

  The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.  

 

 

--

18


 

  For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.  

 

 

--

19


 

  The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.  

 

 

--

21


 

  These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.  

 

 

--

23


 

  But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,  

 

 

--

25


 

  Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.  

 

 

--

26


 

  If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to 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 I came unto this hour.  

 

 

--

28


 

  Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.  

 

 

--

29


 

  The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.  

 

 

--

30


 

  Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.  

 

 

--

31


 

  Now is the judgment of the 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 things to myself.  

 

 

--

33


 

  (Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)  

 

 

--

34


 

  The multitude 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


 

  Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.  

 

 

--

36


 

  Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid himself from them.  

 

 

--

37


 

  And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:  

 

 

--

38


 

  That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?  

 

 

--

39


 

  Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias 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 Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.  

 

 

--

42


 

  However, many of the chief men also believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue.  

 

 

--

43


 

  For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.  

 

 

--

44


 

  But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in 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 in me, may not remain in darkness.  

 

 

--

47


 

  And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.  

 

 

--

48


 

  He that despiseth 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 who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.  

 

 

--

50


 

  And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
