The Plot to Kill Lazarus

⁹ When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus^[a] was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, ^(A)whom he had raised from the dead. ^10 (B)So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, ¹¹ because ^(C)on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.

The Triumphal Entry

¹² The next day ^(D)the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. ¹³ So they took branches of ^(E)palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ^(F)“Hosanna! Blessed is ^(G)he who comes in the name of the Lord, even ^(H)the King of Israel!” ¹⁴ And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,

³⁷ Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, ^38 (A)so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

³⁹ Therefore they ^(C)could not believe. For again Isaiah said,

⁴¹ Isaiah said these things because ^(F)he saw his glory and ^(G)spoke of him. ⁴² Nevertheless, ^(H)many even of the authorities believed in him, but ^(I)for fear of the Pharisees they did not ^(J)confess it, so that they would not be ^(K)put out of the synagogue; ^43 (L)for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

Jesus Came to Save the World

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, ^(M)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but ^(N)in him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And ^(O)whoever ^(P)sees me sees him who sent me. ^46 (Q)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.
