Mary
Anoints Jesus |
|
|
 |
|
John 12:1
|
|
Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover,
came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:2
|
|
So they made Him a supper there, and Martha
was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. |
| |
|
|
|
John 12:3
|
|
Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume
of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair;
and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. |
| |
|
|
|
John 12:4
|
|
But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who
was intending to betray Him, *said,
|
| |
|
|
|
John 12:5
|
|
"Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred
denarii and given to poor people?" |
| |
|
|
|
John 12:6
|
|
Now he said this, not because he was concerned
about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used
to pilfer what was put into it. |
| |
|
|
|
John 12:7
|
|
Therefore Jesus said, "Let
her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial. |
|
|
|
|
John 12:8
|
|
For you always have the
poor with you, but you do not always have Me." |
|
|
|
|
John 12:9
|
|
The large crowd of the Jews then learned that
He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also
see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead. |
|
|
|
|
John 12:10
|
|
But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus
to death also; |
|
|
|
|
John 12:11
|
|
because on account of him many of the Jews were
going away and were believing in Jesus. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jesus
Enters Jerusalem |
|
|
|
|
John 12:12
|
|
On the next day the large crowd who had come
to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, |
|
|
|
|
John 12:13
|
|
took the branches of the palm trees and went
out to meet Him, and began to shout, "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE
NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel." |
|
|
|
|
John 12:14
|
|
Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as
it is written, |
|
|
|
|
John 12:15
|
|
"FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING
IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT." |
|
|
|
|
John 12:16
|
|
These things His disciples did not understand
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. |
|
|
|
|
John 12:17
|
|
So the people, who were with Him when He called
Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about
Him. |
|
|
|
|
John 12:18
|
|
For this reason also the people went and met
Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign. |
|
|
|
|
John 12:19
|
|
So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see
that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Greeks
Seek Jesus |
| |
|
|
|
John 12:20
|
|
Now there were some Greeks among those who were
going up to worship at the feast; |
| |
|
|
|
John 12:21
|
|
these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida
of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:22
|
|
Philip *came
and *told
Andrew; Andrew and Philip *came
and *told Jesus. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:23
|
|
And Jesus *answered
them, saying, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be
glorified. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:24
|
|
Truly, truly, I say to
you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone;
but if it dies, it bears much fruit. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:25
|
|
He who loves his life
loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:26
|
|
If anyone serves Me, he
must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves
Me, the Father will honor him. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jesus
Foretells His Death |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:27
|
|
"Now My soul has become
troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this
purpose I came to this hour. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:28
|
|
Father, glorify Your name."
Then a voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it
again." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:29
|
|
So the crowd of people who stood by and heard
it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken
to Him." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:30
|
|
Jesus answered and said, "This
voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:31
|
|
Now judgment is upon this
world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:32
|
|
And I, if I am lifted
up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:33
|
|
But He was saying this to indicate the kind
of death by which He was to die. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:34
|
|
The crowd then answered Him, "We have heard
out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The
Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:35
|
|
So Jesus said to them, "For
a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so
that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know
where he goes. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:36
|
|
While you have the Light,
believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." These things
Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:37
|
|
But though He had performed so many signs before
them, yet they were not believing in Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:38
|
|
This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet
which he spoke: "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF
THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?" |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:39
|
|
For this reason they could not believe, for
Isaiah said again, |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:40
|
|
"HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR
HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART,
AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM." |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:41
|
|
These things Isaiah said because he saw His
glory, and he spoke of Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:42
|
|
Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed
in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that
they would be put out of the synagogue; |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:43
|
|
for they loved the approval of men rather than
the approval of God. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:44
|
|
And Jesus cried out and said,
"He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:45
|
|
He who sees Me sees the
One who sent Me. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:46
|
|
I have come as Light into
the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:47
|
|
If anyone hears My sayings
and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world,
but to save the world. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:48
|
|
He who rejects Me and
does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what
will judge him at the last day. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:49
|
|
For I did not speak on
My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment
as to what to say and what to speak. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 12:50
|
|
I know that His commandment
is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has
told Me." |
| |
