The Gospel according to John
John 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Beth´-a-ny, where Laz´-a-rus was which had been dead, whom He raised from the dead.
John 12:2 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served: but Laz´-a-rus was one of them that sat at the table with Him.
John 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.
John 12:4 Then saith one of His disciples, Judas Is-car´-i-ot, Simon’s son, which should betray Him,
John 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
John 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.
John 12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of My burying hath she kept this.
John 12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but Me ye have not always.
John 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 Laz´-a-rus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
John 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Laz´-a-rus also to death;
John 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
John 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
John 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him, and cried, Ho-san´-na: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
John 12:14 And Jesus, when He had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
John 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
John 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.
John 12:17 The people therefore that was with Him when He called Laz´-a-rus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
John 12:18 For this cause the people also met Him, for that they heard that He had done this miracle.
John 12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after Him.
John 12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
John 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Beth-sa´-i-da of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
John 12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
John 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.
John 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.
John 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.
John 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.
John 12:28 Father, glorify Thy name. Then came there a voice from Heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
John 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to Him.
John 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of Me, but for your sakes.
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.
John 12:33 This He said, signifying what death He should die.
John 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?
John 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.
John 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.
John 12:37 But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him:
John 12:38 That the saying of E-sa´-ias 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?
John 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that E-sa´-ias said again,
John 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.
John 12:41 These things said E-sa´-ias, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him.
John 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:
John 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him that sent Me.
John 12:45 And he that seeth Me seeth Him that sent Me.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness.
John 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.
John 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.
John 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.
John 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.
