John 12:12-36
English Standard Version
The Triumphal Entry
12 The next day (A)the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of (B)palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, (C)“Hosanna! Blessed is (D)he who comes in the name of the Lord, even (E)the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15 (F)“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey's colt!”
16 (G)His disciples did not understand these things at first, but (H)when Jesus was glorified, then (I)they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 (J)The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him (K)was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, (L)“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, (M)the world has gone after him.”
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Now (N)among those who went up to worship at the feast were some (O)Greeks. 21 So these came to (P)Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told (Q)Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, (R)“The hour has come (S)for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (T)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (U)Whoever loves his life loses it, and (V)whoever (W)hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must (X)follow me; and (Y)where I am, there will my servant be also. (Z)If anyone serves me, (AA)the Father will honor him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 (AB)“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, (AC)save me from (AD)this hour’? But (AE)for this purpose I have come to (AF)this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then (AG)a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, (AH)“An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, (AI)“This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 (AJ)Now is the judgment of this world; now will (AK)the ruler of this world (AL)be cast out. 32 And I, (AM)when I am lifted up from the earth, (AN)will draw (AO)all people to myself.” 33 He said this (AP)to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that (AQ)the Christ remains forever. How can you say that (AR)the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, (AS)“The light is among you (AT)for a little while longer. (AU)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness (AV)overtake you. (AW)The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (AX)sons of light.”
The Unbelief of the People
When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them.

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches(B) and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![a]”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(D)
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this.(F) Only after Jesus was glorified(G) did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
17 Now the crowd that was with him(H) when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,(I) went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”(J)
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Now there were some Greeks(K) among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida(L) in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, “The hour(M) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(N) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(O) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it(P) for eternal life.(Q) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(R) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 “Now my soul is troubled,(S) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(T) save me from this hour’?(U) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from heaven,(V) “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit,(W) not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world;(X) now the prince of this world(Y) will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up[d] from the earth,(Z) will draw all people to myself.”(AA) 33 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.(AB)
34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law(AC) that the Messiah will remain forever,(AD) so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(AE) must be lifted up’?(AF) Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light(AG) just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light,(AH) before darkness overtakes you.(AI) Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.”(AJ) When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.(AK)

The Triumphal Entry
28 And when he had said these things, (A)he went on ahead, (B)going up to Jerusalem. 29 (C)When he drew near to Bethphage and (D)Bethany, at (E)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent (F)two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, (G)on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it (H)just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they (I)spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—(J)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice (K)for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, (L)“Blessed is (M)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and (N)glory in the highest!” 39 (O)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, (P)the very stones would cry out.”
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 (Q)And when he drew near and saw the city, (R)he wept over it, 42 saying, (S)“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now (T)they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For (U)the days will come upon you, when your enemies (V)will set up a barricade around you and (W)surround you and hem you in on every side 44 (X)and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And (Y)they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know (Z)the time of your (AA)visitation.”

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(C) 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany(D) at the hill called the Mount of Olives,(E) he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.(F) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks(G) on the road.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(H) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(J)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(K)
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(L)
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(M) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(N) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(O) They will not leave one stone on another,(P) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(Q) to you.”
