The Anointing at Bethany(A)
12 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, (B)where Lazarus was [a]who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. 2 (C)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 Then (D)Mary took a pound of very costly oil of (E)spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 But one of His disciples, (F)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.
7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial. 8 For (H)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, (I)whom He had raised from the dead. 10 (J)But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 (K)because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry(L)
12 (M)The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna!
(N)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”
14 (O)Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:
15 “Fear(P) 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; (R)but when Jesus was glorified, (S)then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 18 (T)For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, (U)“You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”
The Fruitful Grain of Wheat
20 Now there (V)were certain Greeks among those (W)who came up to worship at the feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, (X)who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them, saying, (Y)“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, (Z)unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much [d]grain. 25 (AA)He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him (AB)follow Me; and (AC)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross
27 (AD)“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? (AE)But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.”
(AF)Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, (AG)“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now (AH)the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, (AI)if I am [e]lifted up from the earth, will draw (AJ)all peoples to Myself.” 33 (AK)This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
34 The people answered Him, (AL)“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer (AM)the light is with you. (AN)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; (AO)he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (AP)sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and (AQ)was hidden from them.
Who Has Believed Our Report?
37 But although He had done so many (AR)signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
(AS)“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 “He(AT) has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
(AU)Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”
41 (AV)These things Isaiah said [f]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.
Walk in the Light
42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but (AW)because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 (AX)for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, (AY)“He who believes in Me, (AZ)believes not in Me (BA)but in Him who sent Me. 45 And (BB)he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 (BC)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 [g]believe, (BD)I do not judge him; for (BE)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (BF)He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—(BG)the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For (BH)I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, (BI)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 (BJ)speak.”

12 Anim na araw nga bago magpaskua ay naparoon si Jesus sa Betania, na kinaroroonan ni Lazaro, na ibinangon ni Jesus mula sa mga patay.
2 Kaya't iginawa siya doon ng isang hapunan: at si Marta ay naglilingkod; datapuwa't si Lazaro ay isa sa nangakaupo sa pagkain na kasalo niya.
3 Si Maria nga'y kumuha ng isang libra ng unguentong taganas na nardo, na totoong mahalaga, at pinahiran ang mga paa ni Jesus, at kinuskos ang kaniyang mga paa ng kaniyang mga buhok: at ang bahay ay napuno ng amoy ng unguento.
4 Datapuwa't si Judas Iscariote, na isa sa kaniyang mga alagad, na sa kaniya'y magkakanulo, ay nagsabi,
5 Bakit hindi ipinagbili ang unguentong ito ng tatlong daang denario, at ibigay sa mga dukha?
6 Ito'y sinabi nga niya, hindi sapagka't ipinagmalasakit niya ang mga dukha; kundi sapagka't siya'y magnanakaw, at yamang nasa kaniya ang supot ay kinukuha niya ang doon ay inilalagay.
7 Sinabi nga ni Jesus, Pabayaan ninyong ilaan niya ito ukol sa araw ng paglilibing sa akin.
8 Sapagka't ang mga dukha ay laging nasa inyo; nguni't ako'y hindi laging nasa inyo.
9 Ang karaniwang mga tao nga sa mga Judio ay naalaman na siya'y naroroon: at sila'y nagsiparoon, hindi dahil kay Jesus lamang, kundi upang makita nila si Lazaro naman, na muling ibinangon niya mula sa mga patay.
10 Datapuwa't nangagsanggunian ang mga pangulong saserdote upang kanilang maipapatay pati si Lazaro;
11 Sapagka't dahil sa kaniya'y marami sa mga Judio ang nagsisialis at nagsisipanampalataya kay Jesus.
12 Nang kinabukasan ang isang malaking karamihan na nagsiparoon sa pista, pagkabalita nila na si Jesus ay dumarating sa Jerusalem,
13 Ay nagsikuha ng mga palapa ng mga puno ng palma, at nagsilabas na sumalubong sa kaniya, na nagsisigawan, Hosanna: Mapalad ang pumaparito sa pangalan ng Panginoon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang Hari ng Israel.
14 At si Jesus, pagkasumpong sa isang batang asno, ay sumakay doon, gaya ng nasusulat,
15 Huwag kang matakot, anak na babae ng Sion: narito, ang iyong Hari ay pumaparito, na nakasakay sa isang anak ng asno.
16 Ang mga bagay na ito ay hindi napagunawa ng kaniyang mga alagad sa pasimula: nguni't nang si Jesus ay maluwalhati na, ay saka nila naalaala na ang mga bagay na ito ay sinulat tungkol sa kaniya, at kanilang ginawa ang mga bagay na ito sa kaniya.
17 Ang karamihan ngang kasama niya nang tawagin niya si Lazaro mula sa libingan, at siya'y ibangon sa mga patay, ay siyang nangagpapatotoo.
18 Dahil dito rin naman ang karamihan ay nagsiyaon at sumalubong sa kaniya, sapagka't nabalitaan nila na siyang gumawa ng tandang ito.
19 Ang mga Fariseo nga'y nangagsangusapan, Tingnan ninyo kung paanong kayo'y walang anomang ikapanaig; narito, ang sanglibutan ay sumusunod sa kaniya.
20 Mayroon ngang ilang Griego sa nagsiahon sa kapistahan upang magsisamba:
21 Ang mga ito nga'y nagsilapit kay Felipe, na taga Betsaida ng Galilea, at nagsipamanhik sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Ginoo, ibig sana naming makita si Jesus.
22 Lumapit si Felipe at sinabi kay Andres: lumapit si Andres, at si Felipe, at kanilang sinabi kay Jesus.
23 At sinagot sila ni Jesus, na nagsasabi, Dumating na ang oras, na ang Anak ng tao ay luluwalhatiin.
24 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Maliban ang butil ng trigo ay mahulog sa lupa at mamatay, ay natitira siyang magiisa; nguni't kung mamatay, ay nagbubunga ng marami.
25 Ang umiibig sa kaniyang buhay ay mawawalan nito; at ang napopoot sa kaniyang buhay sa sanglibutang ito ay maiingatan yaon sa buhay na walang hanggan.
26 Kung ang sinomang tao'y naglilingkod sa akin, ay sumunod sa akin; at kung saan ako naroroon, ay doon naman doroon ang lingkod ko: kung ang sinomang tao'y maglingkod sa akin, ay siya'y pararangalan ng Ama.
27 Ngayon ay nagugulumihanan ang aking kaluluwa; at ano ang aking sasabihin? Ama, iligtas mo ako sa oras na ito. Nguni't dahil dito ay naparito ako sa oras na ito.
28 Ama, luwalhatiin mo ang iyong pangalan. Dumating nga ang isang tinig na mula sa langit, na nagsasabi, Niluwalhati ko na, at muli kong luluwalhatiin.
29 Ang karamihan ngang nangaroroon, at nangakarinig, ay nagsipagsabing kumulog: sinabi ng mga iba, Isang anghel ang nakipagusap sa kaniya.
30 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi, Ang tinig na ito'y hindi dumating dahil sa akin, kundi dahil sa inyo.
31 Ngayon ang paghatol sa sanglibutang ito: ngayon ang prinsipe ng sanglibutang ito ay palalayasin.
32 At ako, kung ako'y mataas na mula sa lupa, ang lahat ng mga tao ay palalapitin ko sa akin din.
33 Datapuwa't ito'y sinabi niya, na ipinaaalam kung sa anong kamatayan ang ikamamatay niya.
34 Sinagot nga siya ng karamihan, Aming narinig sa kautusan na ang Cristo ay lumalagi magpakailan man: at paanong sinasabi mo, Kinakailangan na ang Anak ng tao ay mataas? sino ang Anak ng taong ito?
35 Sinabi nga sa kanila ni Jesus, Kaunting panahon na lamang sasagitna ninyo ang ilaw. Kayo'y magsilakad samantalang nasa inyo ang ilaw, upang huwag kayong abutin ng kadiliman: at ang lumalakad sa kadiliman ay hindi nalalaman kung saan siya tutungo.
36 Samantalang nasa inyo ang ilaw, ay magsisampalataya kayo sa ilaw, upang kayo'y maging mga anak ng ilaw. Ang mga bagay na ito'y sinalita ni Jesus, at siya'y umalis at nagtago sa kanila.
37 Nguni't bagaman gumawa siya sa harap nila ng gayon maraming mga tanda, gayon ma'y hindi sila nagsisampalataya sa kaniya:
38 Upang maganap ang salita ng propeta Isaias, na kaniyang sinalita, Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming balita? At kanino nahayag ang bisig ng Panginoon?
39 Dahil dito'y hindi sila makapaniwala, sapagka't muling sinabi ni Isaias,
40 Binulag niya ang kanilang mga mata, at pinatigas niya ang kanilang mga puso; Baka sila'y mangakakita ng kanilang mga mata, at mangakaunawa ng kanilang puso At mangagbalik-loob, At sila'y mapagaling ko.
41 Ang mga bagay na ito'y sinabi ni Isaias, sapagka't nakita niya ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian; at siya'y nagsalita ng tungkol sa kaniya.
42 Gayon man maging sa mga pinuno ay maraming nagsisampalataya sa kaniya; datapuwa't dahil sa mga Fariseo ay hindi nila ipinahayag, baka sila'y mapalayas sa sinagoga:
43 Sapagka't iniibig nila ng higit ang kaluwalhatian sa mga tao kay sa kaluwalhatian sa Dios.
44 At si Jesus ay sumigaw at nagsabi, Ang sumasampalataya sa akin, ay hindi sa akin sumasampalataya, kundi doon sa nagsugo sa akin.
45 At ang nakakita sa akin, ay nakakita doon sa nagsugo sa akin.
46 Ako'y naparito na isang ilaw sa sanglibutan, upang ang sinomang sumampalataya sa akin ay huwag manatili sa kadiliman.
47 At kung ang sinomang tao'y nakikinig sa aking mga pananalita, at hindi ingatan, ay hindi ko siya hinahatulan: sapagka't hindi ako naparito upang humatol sa sanglibutan, kundi upang iligtas ang sanglibutan.
48 Ang nagtatakuwil sa akin, at hindi tumatanggap sa aking mga pananalita, ay mayroong isang hahatol sa kaniya: ang salitang aking sinalita, ay siyang sa kaniya'y hahatol sa huling araw.
49 Sapagka't ako'y hindi nagsasalita na mula sa aking sarili; kundi ang Ama na sa akin ay nagsugo, ay siyang nagbigay sa akin ng utos, kung ano ang dapat kong sabihin, at kung ano ang dapat kong salitain.
50 At nalalaman ko na ang kaniyang utos ay buhay na walang hanggan; ang mga bagay nga na sinasalita ko, ay ayon sa sinabi sa akin ng Ama, gayon ko sinasalita.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany(A)
12 Six days before the Passover,(B) Jesus came to Bethany,(C) where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served,(D) while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume;(E) she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair.(F) And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him,(G) objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag,(H) he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.(I) 8 You will always have the poor among you,[c](J) but you will not always have me.”
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.(K) 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him(L) many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.(M)
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(N)
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(O) and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![d]”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(Q)
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this.(S) Only after Jesus was glorified(T) 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(U) 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,(V) 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!”(W)
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Now there were some Greeks(X) among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida(Y) 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(Z) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(AA) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(AB) 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(AC) for eternal life.(AD) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(AE) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 “Now my soul is troubled,(AF) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(AG) save me from this hour’?(AH) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from heaven,(AI) “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,(AJ) not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world;(AK) now the prince of this world(AL) will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up[g] from the earth,(AM) will draw all people to myself.”(AN) 33 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)
34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law(AP) that the Messiah will remain forever,(AQ) so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(AR) must be lifted up’?(AS) Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light(AT) just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light,(AU) before darkness overtakes you.(AV) 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.”(AW) When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.(AX)
Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews
37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs(AY) in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts,
nor turn—and I would heal them.”[i](BA)
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory(BB) and spoke about him.(BC)
42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him.(BD) But because of the Pharisees(BE) they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;(BF) 43 for they loved human praise(BG) more than praise from God.(BH)
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.(BI) 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.(BJ) 46 I have come into the world as a light,(BK) 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.(BL) 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(BM) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(BN) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(BO) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(BP)
