John

1Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

3Therefore Mary took a poundof ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denariiand given to the poor?”

6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

7But Jesus said,“Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

8For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

9A large crowd therefore of the Jews learnt 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 conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

12On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna!Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”

14Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

15“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

16His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

17The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.

18For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

19The Pharisees therefore said amongst themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

20Now there were certain Greeks amongst those who went up to worship at the feast.

21Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

22Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

23Jesus answered them,“The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

24Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

25He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

26If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honour him.

27“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.

28Father, glorify your name!”Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

29Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

30Jesus answered,“This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

31Now is the judgement of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

33But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

34The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say,‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

35Jesus therefore said to them,“Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.”Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

37But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:“Lord, who has believed our report?To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

39For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:

40“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart,lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”

41Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

42Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,

43for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

44Jesus cried out and said,“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

45He who sees me sees him who sent me.

46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

47If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.

49For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.

50I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

1Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.

2And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.

3Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, 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 one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:

5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.

7Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

8For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

9A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

10But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:

11Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.

12And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.

14And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:

15Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.

16These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.

17The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.

18For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.

19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.

20Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.

21These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.

22Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

24Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,

25Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.

26If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to 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 I came unto this hour.

28Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.

30Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

31Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.

33(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)

34The multitude 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?

35Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.

36Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid himself from them.

37And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:

38That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias 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 Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

42However, many of the chief men also believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue.

43For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

44But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in 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 in me, may not remain in darkness.

47And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48He that despiseth 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 who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.

50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
