Mary Prepares Jesus’ Body for the Tomb(A)

12 Six days before Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany. Lazarus, whom Jesus had brought back to life, lived there. Dinner was prepared for Jesus in Bethany. Martha served the dinner, and Lazarus was one of the people eating with Jesus.

Mary took a bottle of very expensive perfume made from pure nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet. Then she dried his feet with her hair. The fragrance of the perfume filled the house.

One of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray him, asked, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for a high price and the money given to the poor?” (Judas didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the moneybag and carried the contributions.) Jesus said to Judas, “Leave her alone! She has done this to prepare me for the day I will be placed in a tomb. You will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me with you.”

A large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was in Bethany. So they went there not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had brought back to life. 10 The chief priests planned to kill Lazarus too. 11 Lazarus was the reason why many people were leaving the Jews and believing in Jesus.

The King Comes to Jerusalem(B)

12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the Passover festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took palm branches and went to meet him. They were shouting,

“Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord,
the king of Israel!”

14 Jesus obtained a donkey and sat on it, as Scripture says:

15 “Don’t be afraid, people of Zion!
Your king is coming.
He is riding on a donkey’s colt.”

16 At first Jesus’ disciples didn’t know what these prophecies meant. However, when Jesus was glorified, the disciples remembered that these prophecies had been written about him. The disciples remembered that they had taken part in fulfilling the prophecies.

17 The people who had been with Jesus when he called Lazarus from the tomb and brought him back to life reported what they had seen. 18 Because the crowd heard that Jesus had performed this miracle, they came to meet him.

19 The Pharisees said to each other, “This is getting us nowhere. Look! The whole world is following him!”

Some Greeks Ask to See Jesus

20 Some Greeks were among those who came to worship during the Passover festival. 21 They went to Philip (who was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and told him, “Sir, we would like to meet Jesus.” 22 Philip told Andrew, and they told Jesus.

23 Jesus replied to them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 I can guarantee this truth: A single grain of wheat doesn’t produce anything unless it is planted in the ground and dies. If it dies, it will produce a lot of grain. 25 Those who love their lives will destroy them, and those who hate their lives in this world will guard them for everlasting life. 26 Those who serve me must follow me. My servants will be with me wherever I will be. If people serve me, the Father will honor them.

27 “I am too deeply troubled now to know how to express my feelings. Should I say, ‘Father, save me from this time ⌞of suffering⌟’? No! I came for this time of suffering. 28 Father, give glory to your name.”

A voice from heaven said, “I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.”

29 The crowd standing there heard the voice and said that it had thundered. Others in the crowd said that an angel had talked to him. 30 Jesus replied, “That voice wasn’t for my benefit but for yours.

31 “This world is being judged now. The ruler of this world will be thrown out now. 32 When I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people toward me.” 33 By saying this, he indicated how he was going to die.

34 The crowd responded to him, “We have heard from the Scriptures that the Messiah will remain here forever. So how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up from the earth’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”

35 Jesus answered the crowd, “The light will still be with you for a little while. Walk while you have light so that darkness won’t defeat you. Those who walk in the dark don’t know where they’re going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light so that you will become people whose lives show the light.”

After Jesus had said this, he was concealed as he left. 37 Although they had seen Jesus perform so many miracles, they wouldn’t believe in him. 38 In this way the words of the prophet Isaiah came true:

“Lord, who has believed our message?
To whom has the Lord’s power been revealed?”

39 So the people couldn’t believe because, as Isaiah also said,

40 “God blinded them
and made them close-minded
so that their eyes don’t see
and their minds don’t understand.
And they never turn to me for healing!”

41 Isaiah said this because he had seen Jesus’ glory and had spoken about him.

42 Many rulers believed in Jesus. However, they wouldn’t admit it publicly because the Pharisees would have thrown them out of the synagogue. 43 They were more concerned about what people thought of them than about what God thought of them.

44 Then Jesus said loudly, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me. 45 Whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. 46 I am the light that has come into the world so that everyone who believes in me will not live in the dark. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t follow them, I don’t condemn them. I didn’t come to condemn the world but to save the world. 48 Those who reject me by not accepting what I say have a judge appointed for them. The words that I have spoken will judge them on the last day. 49 I have not spoken on my own. Instead, the Father who sent me told me what I should say and how I should say it. 50 I know that what he commands is eternal life. Whatever I say is what the Father told me to say.”

Mary Anoints Jesus at Bethany

12 Six days before (A)the Passover, (B)Jesus therefore came to Bethany, (C)where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. So they gave a dinner for him there. (D)Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. (E)Mary therefore took a pound[a] of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii[b] and (F)given to the poor?” He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it[c] for the day of my burial. For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”

The Plot to Kill Lazarus

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

The Triumphal Entry

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

15 (P)“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
    sitting on a donkey's colt!”

16 (Q)His disciples did not understand these things at first, but (R)when Jesus was glorified, then (S)they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 (T)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 (U)was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, (V)“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, (W)the world has gone after him.”

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

20 Now (X)among those who went up to worship at the feast were some (Y)Greeks. 21 So these came to (Z)Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told (AA)Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, (AB)“The hour has come (AC)for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AD)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (AE)Whoever loves his life loses it, and (AF)whoever (AG)hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must (AH)follow me; and (AI)where I am, there will my servant be also. (AJ)If anyone serves me, (AK)the Father will honor him.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

27 (AL)“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, (AM)save me from (AN)this hour’? But (AO)for this purpose I have come to (AP)this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then (AQ)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, (AR)“An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, (AS)“This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 (AT)Now is the judgment of this world; now will (AU)the ruler of this world (AV)be cast out. 32 And I, (AW)when I am lifted up from the earth, (AX)will draw (AY)all people to myself.” 33 He said this (AZ)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 (BA)the Christ remains forever. How can you say that (BB)the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, (BC)“The light is among you (BD)for a little while longer. (BE)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness (BF)overtake you. (BG)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 (BH)sons of light.”

The Unbelief of the People

When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, 38 (BI)so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

(BJ)“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,
    and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

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

40 (BL)“He has blinded their eyes
    and (BM)hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
    and understand with their heart, and turn,
    and I would heal them.”

41 Isaiah said these things because (BN)he saw his glory and (BO)spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, (BP)many even of the authorities believed in him, but (BQ)for fear of the Pharisees they did not (BR)confess it, so that they would not be (BS)put out of the synagogue; 43 (BT)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, (BU)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but (BV)in him who sent me. 45 And (BW)whoever (BX)sees me sees him who sent me. 46 (BY)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone (BZ)hears my words and does not keep them, (CA)I do not judge him; for (CB)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (CC)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; (CD)the word that I have spoken will judge him (CE)on the last day. 49 For (CF)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father (CG)who sent me has himself given me (CH)a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”

Jesús es ungido en Betania

(Mt. 26.6-13; Mr. 14.3-9)

12 Seis días antes de la pascua, vino Jesús a Betania, donde estaba Lázaro, el que había estado muerto, y a quien había resucitado de los muertos. Y le hicieron allí una cena; Marta servía, y Lázaro era uno de los que estaban sentados a la mesa con él. Entonces María tomó una libra de perfume de nardo puro, de mucho precio, y ungió los pies de Jesús, y los enjugó con sus cabellos;(A) y la casa se llenó del olor del perfume. Y dijo uno de sus discípulos, Judas Iscariote hijo de Simón, el que le había de entregar: ¿Por qué no fue este perfume vendido por trescientos denarios, y dado a los pobres? Pero dijo esto, no porque se cuidara de los pobres, sino porque era ladrón, y teniendo la bolsa, sustraía de lo que se echaba en ella. Entonces Jesús dijo: Déjala; para el día de mi sepultura ha guardado esto. Porque a los pobres siempre los tendréis con vosotros,(B) mas a mí no siempre me tendréis.

El complot contra Lázaro

Gran multitud de los judíos supieron entonces que él estaba allí, y vinieron, no solamente por causa de Jesús, sino también para ver a Lázaro, a quien había resucitado de los muertos. 10 Pero los principales sacerdotes acordaron dar muerte también a Lázaro, 11 porque a causa de él muchos de los judíos se apartaban y creían en Jesús.

La entrada triunfal en Jerusalén

(Mt. 21.1-11; Mr. 11.1-11; Lc. 19.28-40)

12 El siguiente día, grandes multitudes que habían venido a la fiesta, al oír que Jesús venía a Jerusalén, 13 tomaron ramas de palmera y salieron a recibirle, y clamaban: ¡Hosanna!(C) ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor,(D) el Rey de Israel! 14 Y halló Jesús un asnillo, y montó sobre él, como está escrito:

15 No temas, hija de Sion;

He aquí tu Rey viene,

Montado sobre un pollino de asna.(E)

16 Estas cosas no las entendieron sus discípulos al principio; pero cuando Jesús fue glorificado, entonces se acordaron de que estas cosas estaban escritas acerca de él, y de que se las habían hecho. 17 Y daba testimonio la gente que estaba con él cuando llamó a Lázaro del sepulcro, y le resucitó de los muertos. 18 Por lo cual también había venido la gente a recibirle, porque había oído que él había hecho esta señal. 19 Pero los fariseos dijeron entre sí: Ya veis que no conseguís nada. Mirad, el mundo se va tras él.

Unos griegos buscan a Jesús

20 Había ciertos griegos entre los que habían subido a adorar en la fiesta. 21 Estos, pues, se acercaron a Felipe, que era de Betsaida de Galilea, y le rogaron, diciendo: Señor, quisiéramos ver a Jesús. 22 Felipe fue y se lo dijo a Andrés; entonces Andrés y Felipe se lo dijeron a Jesús. 23 Jesús les respondió diciendo: Ha llegado la hora para que el Hijo del Hombre sea glorificado. 24 De cierto, de cierto os digo, que si el grano de trigo no cae en la tierra y muere, queda solo; pero si muere, lleva mucho fruto. 25 El que ama su vida, la perderá; y el que aborrece su vida en este mundo, para vida eterna la guardará.(F) 26 Si alguno me sirve, sígame; y donde yo estuviere, allí también estará mi servidor. Si alguno me sirviere, mi Padre le honrará.

Jesús anuncia su muerte

27 Ahora está turbada mi alma; ¿y qué diré? ¿Padre, sálvame de esta hora? Mas para esto he llegado a esta hora. 28 Padre, glorifica tu nombre. Entonces vino una voz del cielo: Lo he glorificado, y lo glorificaré otra vez. 29 Y la multitud que estaba allí, y había oído la voz, decía que había sido un trueno. Otros decían: Un ángel le ha hablado. 30 Respondió Jesús y dijo: No ha venido esta voz por causa mía, sino por causa de vosotros. 31 Ahora es el juicio de este mundo; ahora el príncipe de este mundo será echado fuera. 32 Y yo, si fuere levantado de la tierra, a todos atraeré a mí mismo. 33 Y decía esto dando a entender de qué muerte iba a morir. 34 Le respondió la gente: Nosotros hemos oído de la ley, que el Cristo permanece para siempre.(G) ¿Cómo, pues, dices tú que es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea levantado? ¿Quién es este Hijo del Hombre? 35 Entonces Jesús les dijo: Aún por un poco está la luz entre vosotros; andad entre tanto que tenéis luz, para que no os sorprendan las tinieblas; porque el que anda en tinieblas, no sabe a dónde va. 36 Entre tanto que tenéis la luz, creed en la luz, para que seáis hijos de luz.

Incredulidad de los judíos

Estas cosas habló Jesús, y se fue y se ocultó de ellos. 37 Pero a pesar de que había hecho tantas señales delante de ellos, no creían en él; 38 para que se cumpliese la palabra del profeta Isaías, que dijo:

Señor, ¿quién ha creído a nuestro anuncio?

¿Y a quién se ha revelado el brazo del Señor?(H)

39 Por esto no podían creer, porque también dijo Isaías:

40 Cegó los ojos de ellos, y endureció su corazón;

Para que no vean con los ojos, y entiendan con el corazón,

Y se conviertan, y yo los sane.(I)

41 Isaías dijo esto cuando vio su gloria, y habló acerca de él. 42 Con todo eso, aun de los gobernantes, muchos creyeron en él; pero a causa de los fariseos no lo confesaban, para no ser expulsados de la sinagoga. 43 Porque amaban más la gloria de los hombres que la gloria de Dios.

Las palabras de Jesús juzgarán a los hombres

44 Jesús clamó y dijo: El que cree en mí, no cree en mí, sino en el que me envió; 45 y el que me ve, ve al que me envió. 46 Yo, la luz, he venido al mundo, para que todo aquel que cree en mí no permanezca en tinieblas. 47 Al que oye mis palabras, y no las guarda, yo no le juzgo; porque no he venido a juzgar al mundo, sino a salvar al mundo. 48 El que me rechaza, y no recibe mis palabras, tiene quien le juzgue; la palabra que he hablado, ella le juzgará en el día postrero. 49 Porque yo no he hablado por mi propia cuenta; el Padre que me envió, él me dio mandamiento de lo que he de decir, y de lo que he de hablar. 50 Y sé que su mandamiento es vida eterna. Así pues, lo que yo hablo, lo hablo como el Padre me lo ha dicho.

12 За шесть дней до Пасхи пришел Иисус в Вифанию, где был Лазарь умерший, которого Он воскресил из мертвых.

Там приготовили Ему вечерю, и Марфа служила, и Лазарь был одним из возлежавших с Ним.

Мария же, взяв фунт нардового чистого драгоценного мира, помазала ноги Иисуса и отерла волосами своими ноги Его; и дом наполнился благоуханием от мира.

Тогда один из учеников Его, Иуда Симонов Искариот, который хотел предать Его, сказал:

Для чего бы не продать это миро за триста динариев и не раздать нищим?

Сказал же он это не потому, чтобы заботился о нищих, но потому что был вор. Он имел [при себе денежный] ящик и носил, что туда опускали.

Иисус же сказал: оставьте ее; она сберегла это на день погребения Моего.

Ибо нищих всегда имеете с собою, а Меня не всегда.

Многие из Иудеев узнали, что Он там, и пришли не только для Иисуса, но чтобы видеть и Лазаря, которого Он воскресил из мертвых.

10 Первосвященники же положили убить и Лазаря,

11 потому что ради него многие из Иудеев приходили и веровали в Иисуса.

12 На другой день множество народа, пришедшего на праздник, услышав, что Иисус идет в Иерусалим,

13 взяли пальмовые ветви, вышли навстречу Ему и восклицали: осанна! благословен грядущий во имя Господне, Царь Израилев!

14 Иисус же, найдя молодого осла, сел на него, как написано:

15 Не бойся, дщерь Сионова! се, Царь твой грядет, сидя на молодом осле.

16 Ученики Его сперва не поняли этого; но когда прославился Иисус, тогда вспомнили, что так было о Нем написано, и это сделали Ему.

17 Народ, бывший с Ним прежде, свидетельствовал, что Он вызвал из гроба Лазаря и воскресил его из мертвых.

18 Потому и встретил Его народ, ибо слышал, что Он сотворил это чудо.

19 Фарисеи же говорили между собою: видите ли, что не успеваете ничего? весь мир идет за Ним.

20 Из пришедших на поклонение в праздник были некоторые Еллины.

21 Они подошли к Филиппу, который был из Вифсаиды Галилейской, и просили его, говоря: господин! нам хочется видеть Иисуса.

22 Филипп идет и говорит о том Андрею; и потом Андрей и Филипп сказывают о том Иисусу.

23 Иисус же сказал им в ответ: пришел час прославиться Сыну Человеческому.

24 Истинно, истинно говорю вам: если пшеничное зерно, пав в землю, не умрет, то останется одно; а если умрет, то принесет много плода.

25 Любящий душу свою погубит ее; а ненавидящий душу свою в мире сем сохранит ее в жизнь вечную.

26 Кто Мне служит, Мне да последует; и где Я, там и слуга Мой будет. И кто Мне служит, того почтит Отец Мой.

27 Душа Моя теперь возмутилась; и что Мне сказать? Отче! избавь Меня от часа сего! Но на сей час Я и пришел.

28 Отче! прославь имя Твое. Тогда пришел с неба глас: и прославил и еще прославлю.

29 Народ, стоявший и слышавший [то], говорил: это гром; а другие говорили: Ангел говорил Ему.

30 Иисус на это сказал: не для Меня был глас сей, но для народа.

31 Ныне суд миру сему; ныне князь мира сего изгнан будет вон.

32 И когда Я вознесен буду от земли, всех привлеку к Себе.

33 Сие говорил Он, давая разуметь, какою смертью Он умрет.

34 Народ отвечал Ему: мы слышали из закона, что Христос пребывает вовек; как же Ты говоришь, что должно вознесену быть Сыну Человеческому? кто Этот Сын Человеческий?

35 Тогда Иисус сказал им: еще на малое время свет есть с вами; ходите, пока есть свет, чтобы не объяла вас тьма: а ходящий во тьме не знает, куда идет.

36 Доколе свет с вами, веруйте в свет, да будете сынами света. Сказав это, Иисус отошел и скрылся от них.

37 Столько чудес сотворил Он пред ними, и они не веровали в Него,

38 да сбудется слово Исаии пророка: Господи! кто поверил слышанному от нас? и кому открылась мышца Господня?

39 Потому не могли они веровать, что, как еще сказал Исаия,

40 народ сей ослепил глаза свои и окаменил сердце свое, да не видят глазами, и не уразумеют сердцем, и не обратятся, чтобы Я исцелил их.

41 Сие сказал Исаия, когда видел славу Его и говорил о Нем.

42 Впрочем и из начальников многие уверовали в Него; но ради фарисеев не исповедывали, чтобы не быть отлученными от синагоги,

43 ибо возлюбили больше славу человеческую, нежели славу Божию.

44 Иисус же возгласил и сказал: верующий в Меня не в Меня верует, но в Пославшего Меня.

45 И видящий Меня видит Пославшего Меня.

46 Я свет пришел в мир, чтобы всякий верующий в Меня не оставался во тьме.

47 И если кто услышит Мои слова и не поверит, Я не сужу его, ибо Я пришел не судить мир, но спасти мир.

48 Отвергающий Меня и не принимающий слов Моих имеет судью себе: слово, которое Я говорил, оно будет судить его в последний день.

49 Ибо Я говорил не от Себя; но пославший Меня Отец, Он дал Мне заповедь, что сказать и что говорить.

50 И Я знаю, что заповедь Его есть жизнь вечная. Итак, что Я говорю, говорю, как сказал Мне Отец.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
