| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?” |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.” |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!” |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written: |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.” |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!” |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.” |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says: |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.” |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.” |
