CHAPTER 12.
1 JESUS therefore, six days before the pasch, came to
Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.
2 And they made him a supper there: and Martha served:
but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.
3 Mary 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.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that
was about to betray him, said:
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred
pence, and given to the poor?
6 Now 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.
7 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may
keep it against the day of my burial.
8 For the poor you have always with you; but me you
have not always.
9 A 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.
10 But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:
11 Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went
away, and believed in Jesus.
12 And 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,
13 Took 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.
14 And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it
is written:
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king
cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 These 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.
17 The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was
with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the
dead.
18 For which reason also the people came to meet him,
because they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do
you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came
up to adore on the festival day.
21 These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida
of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and
Philip told Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come,
that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat
falling into the ground die,
25 Itself 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.
26 If 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.
27 Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say?
Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came
from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said
that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.
30 Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because
of me, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the
prince of this world be cast out.
32 And 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.)
34 The 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?
35 Jesus 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.
36 Whilst 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.
37 And whereas he had done so many miracles before
them, they believed not in him:
38 That 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?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias
said again:
40 He 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.
41 These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and
spoke of him.
42 However, 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.
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory
of God.
44 But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me,
doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world; that whosoever
believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.
47 And 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.
48 He 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.
49 For 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.
50 And 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.
