John 12

12Six days before the Passover, Jesus therefore came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.G3767G2424G1803G2250G4253G3957G2064G1519G963G3699G2976G2258G3588G2348G3739G1453G1537G34982So they gave a dinner for him there. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table.G1563G3767G4160G846G1173G2532G3136G1247G1161G2976G2258G1520G4873G8463Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.G3767G2983G3137G3046G3464G3487G4101G4186G218G4228G2424G2532G1591G846G4228G846G2359G1161G3614G4137G1537G3744G34644But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said,G3767G3004G1520G1537G846G3101G2455G2469G4613G3588G3195G3860G8465"Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"G1302G4097G3756G5124G3464G4097G5145G1220G2532G1325G44346He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.G1161G5124G2036G3756G3754G846G3199G4012G4434G235G3754G2258G2812G2532G2192G1101G2532G941G9067Jesus said, "Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of my burial.G3767G2036G2424G863G846G863G1519G2250G3450G1780G5083G8468For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me."G1063G4434G3842G2192G3326G1438G1161G1691G2192G3756G38429When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.G4183G3793G1537G2453G3767G1097G3754G2076G1563G2532G2064G3756G1223G2424G3440G235G2443G1492G2976G2532G3739G1453G1537G349810So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well,G1161G749G1011G2443G615G2976G2532G61511because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.G3754G1223G846G4183G2453G5217G2532G4100G1519G242412The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.G1887G4183G3793G2064G1519G1859G191G3754G2424G2064G1519G241413So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!"G2983G902G5404G2532G1831G1519G5222G846G2532G2896G5614G2127G935G2474G2064G1722G3686G296214And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,G1161G2424G2147G3678G2523G1909G846G2531G2076G112515"Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!"G5399G3361G2364G4622G2400G4675G935G2064G2521G1909G3688G445416His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.G1161G5023G1097G3756G846G3101G4412G235G3753G2424G1392G5119G3415G3754G5023G2258G1125G1909G846G2532G4160G5023G84617The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness.G3793G3767G5607G3326G846G3753G5455G2976G1537G3419G2532G1453G846G1537G3498G314018The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign.G5124G1223G3793G2532G5221G846G3754G191G846G4160G5124G459219So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him."G5330G3767G2036G4314G1438G2334G3754G5623G3756G3762G2396G2889G565G3694G84620Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks.G1161G2258G5100G1672G1537G305G2443G4352G1722G185921So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."G3778G4334G3767G5376G575G966G1056G2532G2065G846G3004G2962G2309G1492G242422Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.G5376G2064G2532G3004G406G2532G3825G406G2532G5376G3004G242423And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.G1161G2424G611G846G3004G5610G2064G2443G5207G444G139224Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.G281G281G3004G5213G3362G2848G4621G4098G1519G1093G599G846G3306G3441G1161G1437G599G5342G4183G259025Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.G5368G846G5590G622G846G2532G3404G846G5590G1722G5129G2889G5442G846G1519G2222G16626If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.G1437G5100G1247G1698G190G1698G2532G3699G1473G1510G1563G2071G2532G1699G1249G2071G2532G1437G5100G1247G1698G846G5091G3962G509127"Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.G3568G5015G3450G5590G5015G2532G5101G2036G3962G4982G3165G1537G5026G5610G235G5124G1223G2064G1519G5026G561028Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."G3962G1392G4675G3686G3767G2064G5456G1537G3772G1392G2532G1392G2532G1392G382529The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."G3793G3767G2476G2532G191G3004G1096G1027G243G3004G32G2980G84630Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not mine.G2424G611G2532G2036G3778G5456G1096G3756G1223G1691G235G1223G5209G122331Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out.G3568G2076G2920G5127G2889G3568G1544G758G5127G2889G1544G185432And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."G2504G1437G5312G1537G1093G1670G3956G4314G168333He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.G1161G5124G3004G4591G4169G2288G3195G59934So the crowd answered him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"G3793G611G846G2249G191G1537G3551G3754G5547G3306G1519G165G2532G4459G3004G4771G3754G5207G444G1163G5312G5101G2076G3778G5207G44435So Jesus said to them, "The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.G3767G2424G2036G846G2089G3398G5550G2076G5457G3326G5216G4043G2193G2192G5457G3363G4653G2638G5209G2532G4043G1722G4653G1492G3756G4226G521736While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.G2193G2192G5457G4100G1519G5457G2443G1096G5207G5457G5023G2980G2424G565G2532G2928G575G84637Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,G1161G846G4160G5118G4592G1715G846G4100G3756G1519G84638so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"G2443G3056G2268G4396G4137G3739G2036G2962G5101G4100G2257G189G2532G5101G1023G2962G60139Therefore they could not believe. For again Isaiah said,G5124G1223G1410G3756G4100G3754G2268G2036G382540"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them."G5186G846G3788G2532G4456G846G2588G3363G1492G3363G1492G3788G2532G3539G2588G2532G1994G2532G2390G84641Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.G5023G2036G2268G3753G1492G846G1391G2532G2980G4012G84642Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue;G3676G3305G1537G758G2532G4183G4100G1519G846G235G1223G5330G3670G3756G3670G3363G1096G65643for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.G1063G25G1391G444G3123G2260G1391G231644And Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.G1161G2424G2896G2532G2036G4100G1519G1691G4100G3756G1519G1691G235G1519G3992G316545And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.G2532G2334G1691G2334G3992G316546I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.G1473G2064G5457G1519G2889G3363G3956G4100G1519G1691G3306G3363G3306G1722G465347If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.G2532G3362G5100G191G3450G4487G2532G4100G3362G1473G2919G846G3756G1063G2064G3756G2443G2919G2889G235G2443G4982G288948The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.G114G1691G2532G2983G3361G3450G4487G2192G2919G846G3056G3739G2980G1565G2919G846G1722G2078G225049For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.G3754G1473G2980G3756G2980G1537G1683G235G3962G3992G3165G846G1325G3427G1785G5101G2036G2532G5101G298050And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me."G2532G1492G3754G846G1785G2076G2222G166G3739G1473G2980G3767G2531G3962G2046G3427G3779G2980
