John 12
12
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.

1Accordingly יהושע, six days before the Pĕsaḥ, came to Bĕyth Anyah, where El‛azar was, who had died, whom He raised from the dead.
2So they made Him a supper there, and Martha served, while El‛azar was one of those who sat at the table with Him.
3Then Miryam took a pound of costly perfume of nard, anointed the feet of יהושע, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4Then one of His taught ones, Yehuḏah from Qerioth, son of Shim‛on, who was about to deliver Him up, said,
5Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
6And he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and he used to take what was put in it.
7יהושע then said, “Let her alone, she has kept this for the day of My burial.
8For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.
9Then a great crowd of the Yehuḏim learned that He was there. And they came, not on account of יהושע only, but also to see El‛azar, whom He had raised from the dead.
10And the chief priests resolved to kill El‛azar as well,
11because on account of him many of the Yehuḏim went away and believed in יהושע.
12On the next day a great crowd who had come to the festival, when they heard that יהושע was coming to Yerushalayim,
13took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and were crying out, “Hoshia-na!# Psa. 118:25 Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה,# Psa. 118:26#See Mat. 23:39; and Psa. 118:26 the Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl!”
14And יהושע, having found a young donkey, sat on it, as it has been written:
15“Do not fear, daughter of Tsiyon, see, your Sovereign is coming, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”# Zech. 9:9
16At first His taught ones did not understand this. But when יהושע was esteemed, then they remembered that this was written about Him and that they had done this to Him.
17Therefore the crowd, who were with Him when He called El‛azar out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, were bearing witness.
18On account of this the crowd also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.
19The Pharisees then said among themselves, “You see how you are getting nowhere at all. Look, the world has gone after Him!”
20And there were certain Greeks among those coming up to worship at the festival.
21These then came to Philip, who was from Bĕyth Tsaiḏa of Galil, and were asking him, saying, “Master, we wish to see יהושע.”
22Philip came and told Andri, and in turn Andri and Philip told יהושע.
23And יהושע answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Aḏam to be esteemed.
24“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25“He who loves his life shall lose it, and he who hates his life in this world shall preserve it for everlasting life.
26“If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me. And where I am, there My servant also shall be. If anyone serves Me, the Father shall value him.
27“Now I Myself am troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this reason I came to this hour.
28Father, esteem Your Name. Then a voice came from the heaven, “I have both esteemed it and shall esteem it again.”
29So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying there had been thunder. Others said, “A messenger has spoken to Him.”
30יהושע answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.
31Now is the judgment of this world, now the ruler of this world#See Luke 4:6 shall be cast out.
32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto Myself.”
33This He said, signifying by what death He was about to die.
34The crowd answered Him, “We have heard out of the Torah that the Messiah remains forever. And how do You say, ‘The Son of Aḏam has to be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Aḏam?”
35יהושע, therefore, said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. And he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
36While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you become sons of light. These words יהושע spoke, and went off and was hidden from them.
37But though He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,
38that the word of Yeshayahu the prophet might be filled, which he spoke, “יהוה, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of יהוה been revealed?”# Isa. 53:1
39Because of this they were unable to believe, because again Yeshayahu said:
40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal them.”# Isa. 6:10#See Mat. 13:15
41Yeshayahu said this when he saw His esteem and spoke of Him.
42Still, even among the rulers many did believe in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the congregation,
43for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of Elohim.
44Then יהושע cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me.
45“And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.
46“I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.
47“And if anyone hears My Words but does not watch over them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
48He who rejects Me, and does not receive My Words, has one who judges him: the Word that I have spoken shall judge him in the last day.#See also John 3:18, 19; John 7:16
49“Because I spoke not from Myself, but the Father who sent Me has given Me a command,#See John 7:16 what I should say and what I should speak.
50“And I know that His command is everlasting life.#See Mat. 19:17: John 3:36 Therefore, whatever I speak, as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.”
