John

1 Then Je­sus six days be­fore the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 2 There they made him a sup­per; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 3 Then took Mary a pound of oint­ment of spike­nard, very cost­ly, 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 saith one of his dis­ci­ples, Ju­das Is­car­i­ot, Simon's son, which should be­tray him, 5 Why was not this oint­ment sold for three hun­dred pence, and giv­en to the poor? 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. 7 Then said Je­sus, Let her alone: against the day of my bury­ing hath she kept this. 8 For the poor al­ways ye have with you; but me ye have not al­ways. 9 Much peo­ple of the Jews there­fore knew 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. 10 But the chief priests con­sult­ed that they might put Lazarus also to death; 11 Be­cause that by rea­son of him many of the Jews went away, and be­lieved on Je­sus. 12 On the next day much peo­ple that were come to the feast, when they heard that Je­sus was com­ing to Jerusalem, 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 the Lord. 14 And Je­sus, when he had found a young ass, sat there­on; as it is writ­ten, 15 Fear not, daugh­ter of Sion: be­hold, thy King cometh, sit­ting on an ass's colt. 16 These things un­der­stood not his dis­ci­ples at the first: but when Je­sus was glo­ri­fied, then re­mem­bered they that these things were writ­ten of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 17 The peo­ple there­fore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 18 For this cause the peo­ple also met him, for that they heard that he had done this mir­a­cle. 19 The Phar­isees there­fore said among them­selves, Per­ceive ye how ye pre­vail noth­ing? be­hold, the world is gone af­ter him. 20 And there were cer­tain Greeks among them that came up to wor­ship at the feast: 21 The same came there­fore to Philip, which was of Beth­sai­da of Galilee, and de­sired him, say­ing, Sir, we would see Je­sus. 22 Philip cometh and tel­leth An­drew: and again An­drew and Philip tell Je­sus. 23 And Je­sus an­swered them, say­ing, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glo­ri­fied. 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. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eter­nal. 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. 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. 28 Fa­ther, glo­ri­fy thy name. Then came there a voice from heav­en, saying, I have both glo­ri­fied it, and will glo­ri­fy it again. 29 The peo­ple there­fore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thun­dered: oth­ers said, An an­gel spake to him. 30 Je­sus an­swered and said, This voice came not be­cause of me, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judg­ment of this 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 men unto me. 33 This he said, sig­ni­fy­ing what death he should die. 34 The peo­ple 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 Then Je­sus 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. 36 While ye have light, be­lieve in the light, that ye may be the chil­dren of light. These things spake Je­sus, and de­part­ed, and did hide him­self from them. 37 But though he had done so many mir­a­cles be­fore them, yet they be­lieved not on him: 38 That the say­ing of Esa­ias the prophet might be ful­filled, which he spake, Lord, who hath be­lieved our re­port? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been re­vealed? 39 There­fore they could not be­lieve, be­cause that Esa­ias 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 Esa­ias, when he saw his glo­ry, and spake of him. 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: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44 Je­sus cried and said, He that be­lieveth on me, be­lieveth not on me, but on 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 on me should not abide in dark­ness. 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. 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. 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. 50 And I know that his com­mand­ment is life ev­er­last­ing: what­so­ev­er I speak there­fore, even as the Fa­ther said unto me, so I speak.
