John 12
12:1

Then Yahshua six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

12:2

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

12:3

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Yahshua, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

12:4

Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

12:5

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

12:6

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

12:7

Then said Yahshua, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

12:8

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

12:9

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Yahshua's sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

12:10

But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

12:11

Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Yahshua.

12:12

On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Yahshua was coming to Jerusalem,

12:13

Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of Yahweh.

12:14

And Yahshua, when he had found a young donkey, sat thereon; as it is written,

12:15

Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

12:16

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Yahshua was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

12:17

The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

12:18

For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

12:19

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

12:20

And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

12:21

The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Yahshua.

12:22

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Yahshua.

12:23

And Yahshua answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

12:24

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

12:25

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

12:26

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

12:27

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

12:28

Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

12:29

The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered : others said, An angel spake to him.

12:30

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

12:31

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

12:32

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

12:33

This he said, signifying what death he should die.

12:34

The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

12:35

Then Yahshua said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

12:36

While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Yahshua, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

12:37

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

12:38

That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Yahweh, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of Yahweh been revealed?

12:39

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

12:40

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.

12:41

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

12:42

Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

12:43

For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of Elohim.

12:44

Yahshua cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

12:45

And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

12:46

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

12:47

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

12:48

He that rejecteth 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.

12:49

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

12:50

And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
