41 (A)These things Isaiah said [a]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

Walk in the Light

42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but (B)because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 (C)for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44 Then Jesus cried out and said, (D)“He who believes in Me, (E)believes not in Me (F)but in Him who sent Me. 45 And (G)he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 (H)I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not [b]believe, (I)I do not judge him; for (J)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (K)He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—(L)the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For (M)I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, (N)what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I (O)speak.”

  2. John 12:47 NU keep them

41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory(A) and spoke about him.(B)

42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him.(C) But because of the Pharisees(D) they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;(E) 43 for they loved human praise(F) more than praise from God.(G)

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.(H) 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.(I) 46 I have come into the world as a light,(J) so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(K) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(L) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(M) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(N) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(O)

Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

“Hosanna to the Son of David!
(A)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Hosanna in the highest!”

10 (B)And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”

11 So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, (C)the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”

Jesus Cleanses the Temple(D)

12 (E)Then Jesus went into the temple [a]of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the (F)money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, (G)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a (H)‘den of thieves.’

14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the (I)Son of David!” they were [b]indignant 16 and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?”

And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read,

(J)‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have perfected praise’?”

17 Then He left them and (K)went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there.

Jesus at the Temple(E)

12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying(F) and selling there.

14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.(K) 15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,”(L) they were indignant.(M)

16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.

“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,

“‘From the lips of children and infants
    you, Lord, have called forth your praise’[f]?”(N)
