* Jesus , therefore , six days before the passover , came unto Bethany , where Lazarus was , whom Jesus had raised from among the dead . * So they made for him a supper , there ; and , Martha , was ministering , but , Lazarus , was one of them who were reclining with him . * Mary , therefore , taking a pound of pure nard perfume , very precious , anointed the feet of Jesus , and wiped , with her hair , his feet ; and , the house , was filled with the fragrance of the perfume . * But Judas Iscariot , one of his disciples , he that was about to deliver him up , saith * Why was , this perfume , not sold for three hundred denaries , and given unto the destitute ? * Howbeit he said this , not that , for the destitute , he cared , but because , a thief , he was , and holding , the bag , used to carry away , what was cast therein . * Jesus , therefore , said Let her alone , that , for the day of my burial , she may observe it ; * For , the destitute , always , have ye with you , whereas , me , not always , have ye . * The great multitude of the Jews , therefore , got to know that he was , there , and came , not on account of Jesus only , but that , Lazarus also , they might see , whom he had raised from among the dead . * But the High-priests took counsel , that Lazarus also , they might put to death ; * because , many of the Jews , by reason of him , were withdrawing , and believing on Jesus . * On the morrow , the great multitude that had come unto the feast , hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem , * took the branches of the palm trees , and went out to meet him , and began crying aloud Hosanna ! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord , even the King of Israel ! * And Jesus , finding a young ass , took his seat thereon , just as it is written * Do not fear , O daughter of Zion ! Lo ! thy king , cometh , sitting upon the colt of an ass . * These things , his disciples noticed not , at the first ; but , when Jesus was glorified , then , remembered they that , these things , had , for him , been written , and that , these things , they had done unto him . * The multitude , therefore , that was with him when he called , Lazarus , out of the tomb , and raised him from among the dead , was bearing witness . * On this account , the multitude met him also , because they heard that he had done , this sign . * the Pharisees , therefore , said among themselves Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing : See ! the world , after him , hath gone away . * Now there were certain Greeks , from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast . * These , therefore , came unto Philip , him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee , and were requesting him , saying Sir ! We desire to see , Jesus . * Philip cometh , and telleth Andrew : Andrew and Philip come , and tell Jesus . * But , Jesus , answereth them , saying The hour hath come , that the Son of Man should be glorified ! * Verily ! Verily , I say unto you : Except , the kernel of wheat , shall fall into the ground , and die , it , alone , abideth ; but , if it die , much fruit , it beareth . * He that loveth his life , loseth it ; but , he that hateth his life , in this world , unto life age-abiding , shall guard it . * If , with me , anyone be ministering , with me , let him be following ; and , where , I , am , there , my minister also , shall be . If anyone , with me , be ministering , the Father , will honour him . * Now , is my soul troubled , and what can I say ? Father ! save me from this hour ? But , on this account , came I unto this hour . Father , glorify thy name ! * There came , therefore , a voice out of heaven I both have glorified it , and will glorify it again . * So , the multitude that was standing by , and heard it , were saying It hath , thundered . Others , were saying A messenger , unto him , hath spoken . * Jesus answered , and said Not for my sake , hath this voice come , but , for your sake . * Now , is there , a judging , of this world , Now , the ruler of this world , shall be cast out ; * And , I , if I be lifted up out of the earth , will draw , all , unto myself . * But , this , he was saying , signifying , by what manner of death , he was about to die . * The multitude , therefore , answered him We , have heard , out of the law , that , the Christ , abideth evermore ; How then dost , thou , say , It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up ? Who is this Son of Man ? * Jesus , therefore , said unto them Yet a little while , the light , is , among you : Walk , while ye have , the light , lest , darkness , on you should lay hold ; and , he that walketh in darkness , knoweth not whither he drifteth . * While , the light , ye have , believe on the light , that , sons of light , ye may become . These things , spake Jesus , and , departing , was hid from them . * And , although such signs , as these , he had done before them , they were not believing on him : * that , the word of Isaiah the prophet , might be fulfilled , which said Lord ! who believed , what we have heard ? And , the arm of the Lord , to whom , was it revealed ? * On this account , they could not believe , because , again , said Isaiah * He hath blinded their eyes , and hardened their heart ; lest they should see with their eyes , and should understand with their heart , and should turn , and I should heal them . * These things , said Isaiah , because he saw his glory , and spake concerning him . * Nevertheless , however , even from among the rulers , many believed on him ; but , because of the Pharisees , they were not confessing him , lest , excommunicants from the synagogue , they should be made ; * for they loved the glory of men , more than the glory of God . * And , Jesus , cried aloud , and said He that believeth on me , believeth not on me , but on him that sent me ; * And , he that vieweth me , vieweth him that sent me . * I , a light , into the world have come , that , no one who believeth on me , in darkness , should abide . * And , if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings , and not guard them , I , am not judging him ; for I came not that I might judge the world , but that I might save the world . * He that setteth me aside , and receiveth not my sayings , hath that which is to judge him : The word that I spake , that , will judge him , in the last day . * Because , I , out of myself , spake not , but , the Father who sent me , hath , himself , given me commandment , what I should say , and what I should speak . * And I know that , his commandment , is , life age-abiding ; The things , therefore , which I speak , just as the Father hath told me , so , I speak .
