1 Six days before Passover Jesuswent back to Bethany, where he had raised Lazarusfrom death. 2 A meal had been prepared for Jesus. Marthawas doing the serving, and Lazarushimself was there.
3 Lk 7.37,38.Marytook a very expensive bottle of perfume12.3 very expensive bottle of perfume: The Greek text has "expensive perfume made of pure spikenard," a plant used to make perfume.and poured it on Jesus' feet. She wiped them with her hair, and the sweet smell of the perfume filled the house.
4 A disciple named Judas Iscariot12.4 Iscariot: See the note at 6.71.was there. He was the one who was going to betray Jesus, and he asked, 5 "Why wasn’t this perfume sold for 300 silver coins and the money given to the poor?" 6 Judas did not really care about the poor. He asked this because he carried the moneybag and sometimes would steal from it.
7 Jesusreplied, "Leave her alone! She has kept this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 Dt 15.11.You will always have the poor with you, but you won’t always have me."
A Plot To Kill Lazarus
9 A lot of people came when they heard that Jesuswas there. They also wanted to see Lazarus, because Jesushad raised him from death. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus. 11 He was the reason that many of the people were turning from them and putting their faith in Jesus.
12 The next day a large crowd was in Jerusalemfor Passover. When they heard that Jesuswas coming for the festival, 13 Ps 118.25,26; 1 Macc 13.51.they took palm branches and went out to greet him.12.13 took palm branches and went out to greet him: This was one way the people welcomed a famous person.They shouted,
"Hooray!12.13 Hooray: This translates a word that can mean "please save us." But it is most often used as a shout of praise to God.
God bless the one who comes
in the name of the Lord!
God bless the King
of Israel!"
14 Jesusfound a donkey and rode on it, just as the Scriptures say,
15 Zec 9.9."People of Jerusalem,
don’t be afraid!
Your King is now coming,
and he is riding
on a donkey."
16 At first, Jesus' disciples did not understand. But after he had been given his glory,12.16 had been given his glory: See the note at 7.39.they remembered all this. Everything had happened exactly as the Scriptures said it would.
17,18 A crowd had come to meet Jesus because they had seen him call Lazarusout of the tomb. They kept talking about him and this miracle.12.17,18 miracle: See the note at 2.11.19 But the Pharisees said to each other, "There is nothing we can do! Everyone in the world is following Jesus."
Some Greeks Want To Meet Jesus
20 Some Greeks12.20 Greeks: Perhaps Gentiles who worshiped with the Jews. See the note at 7.35.had gone to Jerusalemto worship during Passover. 21 Philipfrom Bethsaidain Galileewas there too. So they went to him and said, "Sir, we would like to meet Jesus." 22 Philiptold Andrew. Then the two of them went to Jesusand told him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
23 Jesussaid:
The time has come for the Son of Man to be given his glory.12.23 be given his glory: See the note at 7.39.24 I tell you for certain that a grain of wheat that falls on the ground will never be more than one grain unless it dies. But if it dies, it will produce lots of wheat. 25 Mt 10.39;16.25;Mk 8.35;Lk 9.24;17.33.If you love your life, you will lose it. If you give it up in this world, you will be given eternal life. 26 If you serve me, you must go with me. My servants will be with me wherever I am. If you serve me, my Father will honor you.
27 Now I am deeply troubled, and I don’t know what to say. But I must not ask my Father to keep me from this time of suffering. In fact, I came into the world to suffer. 28 So Father, bring glory to yourself.
A voice from heaven then said, "I have already brought glory to myself, and I will do it again!" 29 When the crowd heard the voice, some of them thought it was thunder. Others thought an angel had spoken to Jesus.
30 Then Jesustold the crowd, "That voice spoke to help you, not me. 31 This world’s people are now being judged, and the ruler of this world12.31 world: In the Gospel of John "world" sometimes refers to the people who live in this world and to the evil forces that control their lives.is already being thrown out! 32 If I am lifted up above the earth, I will make everyone want to come to me." 33 Jesus was talking about the way he would be put to death.
34 Ps 110.4;Is 9.7;Ez 37.24,25;Dn 7.14.The crowd said to Jesus, "The Scriptures teach that the Messiah will live forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?"
35 Jesusanswered, "The light will be with you for only a little longer. Walk in the light while you can. Then you won’t be caught walking blindly in the dark. 36 Have faith in the light while it is with you, and you will be children of the light."
The People Refuse To Have Faith in Jesus
After Jesushad said these things, he left and went into hiding. 37 He had worked a lot of miracles12.37 miracles: See the note at 2.11.among the people, but they were still not willing to have faith in him. 38 Is 53.1 (LXX).This happened so that what the prophet Isaiahhad said would come true,
"Lord, who has believed
our message?
And who has seen
your mighty strength?"
39 The people could not have faith in Jesus, because Isaiahhad also said,
40 Is 6.10 (LXX)."The Lord has blinded
the eyes of the people,
and he has made
the people stubborn.
He did this so that they
could not see
or understand,
and so that they
would not turn to the Lord
and be healed."
41 Isaiahsaid this, because he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke about him.12.41 he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke about him: Or "he saw the glory of God and spoke about Jesus."42 Even then, many of the leaders put their faith in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone about it. The Pharisees had already given orders for the people not to have anything to do with anyone who had faith in Jesus. 43 And besides, the leaders liked praise from others more than they liked praise from God.
Jesus Came To Save the World
44 In a loud voice Jesussaid:
Everyone who has faith in me also has faith in the one who sent me. 45 And everyone who has seen me has seen the one who sent me. 46 I am the light that has come into the world. No one who has faith in me will stay in the dark.
47 I am not the one who will judge those who refuse to obey my teachings. I came to save the people of this world, not to be their judge. 48 But everyone who rejects me and my teachings will be judged on the last day12.48 the last day: See the note at 6.39.by what I have said. 49 I don’t speak on my own. I say only what the Father who sent me has told me to say. 50 I know that his commands will bring eternal life. This is why I tell you exactly what the Father has told me.
