John 12
12
CHAPTER 12
1Therefore Jesus before six days of pask came to Bethany, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised.
2And they made to him a supper there, and Martha ministered to him; and Lazarus was one of the men that sat at the meat with him.
3Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of true nard [or spikenard] precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs; and the house was full-filled with the savour of the ointment.
4Therefore Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that was to betray him, said,
5Why is not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to poor men?
6But he said this thing, not for it pertained to him of needy men, but for he was a thief, and had the purses, and bare those things that were sent.
7Therefore Jesus said, Suffer ye her, that into the day of my burying she keep that;
8for ye shall evermore have poor men with you, but ye shall not ever-more have me.
9Therefore much people of the Jews knew, that Jesus was there; and they came, not only for Jesus, but to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from death.
10But the princes of priests thought to slay Lazarus,
11for many of the Jews went away for him, and believed in Jesus.
12But on the morrow much people, that came together to the feast day, when they had heard, that Jesus came to Jerusalem,
13took branches of palms, and came forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14And Jesus found a young ass, and sat on him, as it is written,
15The daughter of Zion, do not thou dread; lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s foal [or on the colt of a she-ass].
16His disciples knew not first these things, but when Jesus was glorified, then they had mind, that these things were written of him, and these things they did to him.
17Therefore the people bare witness-ing, that was with him, when he called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from death.
18And therefore the people came, and met with him, for they heard that he had done this sign.
19Therefore the Pharisees said to themselves, Ye see, that we profit nothing; lo! all the world hath gone after him.
20And there were some heathen men, of them that had come up to worship in the feast day.
21And these came to Philip, that was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and prayed him, and said, Sire, we will see Jesus [or we would see Jesus].
22Philip cometh, and saith to Andrew; and again Andrew and Philip said to Jesus.
23And Jesus answered to them, and said, The hour cometh, that man’s Son be clarified.
24Truly, truly, I say to you, but a corn of wheat fall into the earth, and be dead, it dwelleth alone; but if it be dead, it bringeth [forth] much fruit.
25He that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it into everlasting life.
26If any man serve me, pursue he me; and where I am, there my minister [or my servant] shall be. If any man serve me, my Father shall worship him.
27Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour; but therefore [or but for that thing] I came into this hour;
28Father, clarify thy name. And a voice came from heaven, and said, And I have clarified, and again I shall clarify.
29Therefore the people that stood, and heard, said, that thunder was made; other men said, an angel spake to him.
30Jesus answered, and said, This voice came not for me, but for you.
31Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world shall be cast out.
32And if I shall be enhanced from the earth, I shall draw all things to myself.
33And he said this thing, signifying by what death he was to die.
34And the people answered to him, We have heard of the law, that Christ dwelleth without end; and how sayest thou, It behooveth man’s Son to be areared? Who is this man’s Son?
35And then Jesus saith to them, Yet a little light is in you; walk ye, the while ye have light, that darkness catch you not; he that wandereth in darknesses, knoweth not whither he goeth.
36While ye have light, believe ye in the light, that ye be the children of light. Jesus spake these things, and went, and hid him from them.
37And when he had done so many miracles [or so many signs] before them, they believed not in him;
38that the word of Isaiah, the prophet, should be fulfilled, which he said, Lord, who hath believed to our hearing, and to whom is the arm of the Lord showed?
39Therefore they might not believe, for again Isaiah said,
40He hath blinded their eyes, and hath made hard the heart of them, that they see not with eyes, and understand [not] with heart; and that they be converted, and I heal them.
41Isaiah said these things, when he saw the glory of him, and spake of him.
42Nevertheless of the princes, many believed in him, but for the Pharisees they acknowledged not, that they should not be put out of the synagogue;
43for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.
44And Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me.
45He that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46I light came into the world, that each that believeth in me, dwell not in darknesses.
47And if any man heareth my words, and keepeth them not, I deem him not; for I came not, that I deem the world, but that I make the world safe.
48He that despiseth me, and taketh not my words, hath him that shall judge him; that word [or the word] that I have spoken, shall deem him in the last day.
49For I have not spoken of myself, but that Father that sent me, [he] gave to me a commandment, what I shall say, and what I shall speak.
50And I know, that his commandment is everlasting life; therefore those things that I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.
