Johannes 12 | King James Version
1Then 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.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.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.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.

Mary pours perfume on Jesus at Bethany
1It was six days before the Passover Feast. Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived. Lazarus was the one Jesus had raised from the dead.2A dinner was given at Bethany to honour Jesus. Martha served the food. Lazarus was among the people at the table with Jesus.3Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard. It was an expensive perfume. She poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the sweet smell of the perfume.4But Judas Iscariot didn’t like what Mary did. He was one of Jesus’ disciples. Later he was going to hand Jesus over to his enemies. Judas said,5‘Why wasn’t this perfume sold? Why wasn’t the money given to poor people? It was worth a year’s pay.’6He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor. He said it because he was a thief. Judas was in charge of the money bag. He used to help himself to what was in it.7‘Leave her alone,’ Jesus replied. ‘The perfume was meant for the day I am buried.8You will always have the poor among you. But you won’t always have me.’9Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there, so they came. But they did not come only because of Jesus. They also came to see Lazarus. After all, Jesus had raised him from the dead.10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus too.11Because of Lazarus, many of the Jews were starting to follow Jesus. They were believing in him.
Jesus comes to Jerusalem as king
12The next day the large crowd that had come for the feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.13So they took branches from palm trees and went out to meet him. They shouted, ‘Hosanna!’ ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Blessed is the king of Israel!’14Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it. This is just as it is written in Scripture. It says,15‘City of Zion, do not be afraid. See, your king is coming. He is sitting on a donkey’s colt.’16At first, Jesus’ disciples did not understand all this. They realised it only after he had received glory. Then they realised that these things had been written about him. They realised that these things had been done to him.17A crowd had been with Jesus when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead. So they continued to tell everyone about what had happened.18Many people went out to meet him. They had heard that he had done this sign.19So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘This isn’t getting us anywhere. Look how the whole world is following him!’
Jesus tells about his coming death
20There were some Greeks among the people who went up to worship during the feast.21They came to ask Philip for a favour. Philip was from Bethsaida in Galilee. ‘Sir’, they said, ‘we would like to see Jesus.’22Philip went to tell Andrew. Then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.23Jesus replied, ‘The time has come for the Son of Man to receive glory.24What I’m about to tell you is true. Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only one seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.25Anyone who loves their life will lose it. But anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it and have eternal life.26Anyone who serves me must follow me. And where I am, my servant will also be. My Father will honour the one who serves me.27‘My soul is troubled. What should I say? “Father, keep me from having to go through with this”? No. This is the very reason I have come to this point in my life.28Father, bring glory to your name!’ Then a voice came from heaven. It said, ‘I have brought glory to my name. I will bring glory to it again.’29The crowd there heard the voice. Some said it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to Jesus.30Jesus said, ‘This voice was for your benefit, not mine.31Now it is time for the world to be judged. Now the prince of this world will be thrown out.32And I am going to be lifted up from the earth. When I am, I will bring all people to myself.’33He said this to show them how he was going to die.34The crowd spoke up. ‘The Law tells us that the Messiah will remain for ever,’ they said. ‘So how can you say, “The Son of Man must be lifted up”? Who is this “Son of Man”?’35Then Jesus told them, ‘You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light. Do this before darkness catches up with you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going.36While you have the light, believe in it. Then you can become children of light.’ When Jesus had finished speaking, he left and hid from them.
Some Jews believe and some don’t
37Jesus had performed so many signs in front of them. But they still would not believe in him.38This happened as Isaiah the prophet had said it would. He had said, ‘Lord, who has believed what we’ve been saying? Who has seen the Lord’s saving power?’39For this reason, they could not believe. As Isaiah says in another place,40‘The Lord has blinded their eyes. He has closed their minds. So they can’t see with their eyes. They can’t understand with their minds. They can’t turn to the Lord. If they could, he would heal them.’41Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.42At the same time that Jesus did those signs, many of the Jewish leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they would not openly admit they believed. They were afraid they would be thrown out of the synagogue.43They loved praise from people more than praise from God.44Then Jesus cried out, ‘Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only. They also believe in the one who sent me.45The one who looks at me sees the one who sent me.46I have come into the world to be its light. So no one who believes in me will stay in darkness.47‘I don’t judge a person who hears my words but does not obey them. I didn’t come to judge the world. I came to save the world.48But there is a judge for anyone who does not accept me and my words. These words I have spoken will judge them on the last day.49I did not speak on my own. The Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have said.50I know that his command leads to eternal life. So everything I say is just what the Father has told me to say.’
