John - Chapter 12 | American Standard Version

  • 1. Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
  • 2. So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.
  • 3. Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
  • 4. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,
  • 5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?
  • 6. Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.
  • 7. Jesus therefore said, {cf6 Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying.}
  • 8. {cf6 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.}
  • 9. The common people therefore of the Jews learned 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 took counsel 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 morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
  • 13. took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed {cf15i is} he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.
  • 14. And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
  • 15. Fear not, daughter of Zion: 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 multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.
  • 18. For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.
  • 19. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him.
  • 20. Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:
  • 21. these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
  • 22. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
  • 23. And Jesus answereth them, saying, {cf6 The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.}
  • 24. {cf6 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.}
  • 25. {cf6 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.}
  • 26. {cf6 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 the Father honor.}
  • 27. {cf6 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. {cf6 Father, glorify thy name.} There came therefore a voice out of heaven, {cf15i saying}, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
  • 29. The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
  • 30. Jesus answered and said, {cf6 This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.}
  • 31. {cf6 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.}
  • 32. {cf6 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.}
  • 33. But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
  • 34. The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the 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 unto them, {cf6 Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.}
  • 36. {cf6 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light.} These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.
  • 37. But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:
  • 38. that the word of Isaiah 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. For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,
  • 40. He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
  • 41. These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him.
  • 42. Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess {cf15i it}, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
  • 43. for they loved the glory {cf15i that is} of men more than the glory {cf15i that is} of God.
  • 44. And Jesus cried and said, {cf6 He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.}
  • 45. {cf6 And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.}
  • 46. {cf6 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.}
  • 47. {cf6 And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.}
  • 48. {cf6 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.}
  • 49. {cf6 For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.}
  • 50. {cf6 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak.}
