1 Then six days before the Passover, Yeshua came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him. 3 Therefore Miriam took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Yeshua’ss feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. 4 Then Judah Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said, 5 "Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?" 6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. 7 But Yeshua said, "Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial. 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me."

9 A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Yeshua’s sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because on account of him many of the Judeans went away and believed in Yeshua.

12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Yeshua was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hoshia'na! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

14 Yeshua, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written, 15 "Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt." 16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Yeshua was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him. 17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it. 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."

20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast. 21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Yeshua." 22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Yeshua. 23 Yeshua answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

27 "Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause. 28 Father, glorify your name!"

Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."

30 Yeshua answered, "This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." 33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die. 34 The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?"

35 Yeshua therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Yeshua said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them. 37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke,

"Lord, who has believed our report?

To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again,

40 "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart,

lest they should see with their eyes,

and perceive with their heart,

and would turn,

and I would heal them."

41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue, 43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

44 Yeshua cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. 45 He who sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness. 47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day. 49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."

1 Six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.2 There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of those who were at table with him.3 Then Mary, taking a pound of the balsam of spikenard, which was very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair, so that the house was filled with the odor of the balsam.4 On which, one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray him, said,5 Why was not this balsam sold for three hundred denarii, which might have been given to the poor?6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and carried what was put in it.7 Then Jesus said, Let her alone. She has reserved this to embalm me, against the day of my burial.8 For you will always have the poor among you; but me you will not always have.9 A great number of the Jews, knowing where he was, flocked thither, not on account of Jesus only, but likewise to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.10 The chief priests, therefore, determined to kill Lazarus also;11 because he proved the occasion that many Jews forsook them, and believed on Jesus.12 On the next day, a great multitude, who were come to the festival, hearing that Jesus was on the road to Jerusalem,13 took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, crying, Hosanna! blessed be Israel's King, who comes in the name of the Lord.14 Now Jesus having found a young ass, was riding on it, agreeably to what is written,15 «Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt.»16 These things the disciples did not understand, at first; but after Jesus was glorified, they remembered that thus it had been written concerning him, and that thus they had done to him.17 And the people who had been present, attested that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead.18 It was the rumor that he had wrought this miracle, which made the people crowd to meet him.19 The Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, Are you not sensible that you have no influence? Behold the world is gone after him.20 Now, among those who came to worship at the festival, there were some Greeks.21 These applied to Philip, of Bethsaida, in Galilee, making this request, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.22 Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.23 Jesus answered them, saying, The time is come, when the Son of Man must be glorified.24 Most assuredly, I say to you, when a grain of wheat is thrown into the ground, unless it die, it remains single; but if it die, it becomes very fruitful.25 He who loves his life shall lose it; and he who hates his life in this world, shall preserve it eternally in the next.26 Would any man serve me? let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any man serve me, my Father will reward him.27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But I came on purpose for this hour.28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice out of heaven, which said, I have both glorified, and will again glorify it.29 The people present heard the sound, and said, It thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him.30 Jesus said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.31 Now must this world be judged. Now must the prince of this world be cast out.32 As for me, when I shall be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself.33 This he said, alluding to the death which he was to suffer.34 The people answered, We have learned from the law, that the Messiah will live forever. How do you say, then, that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?35 Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light continues with you; walk, while you have it, lest darkness overtake you: for he that walks in darkness knows not whither he goes.36 Confide in the light, while you enjoy it, that you may be sons of light. Having spoken these words, he withdrew himself privately from them.37 But, though he had performed so many miracles before them, they believed not on him;38 «so that the word of the Prophet Isaiah was verified,» 'Lord, who has believed out report?' 'and, '«To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?»39 For this reason they could not believe; Isaiah having said, also,40 «He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their understanding, that they might not see with their eyes, comprehend with their understanding, and be converted, that I might heal them.»41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke concerning him.42 Nevertheless, there were several, even of the magistrates, who believed on him; but, for fear of the Pharisees, did not avow it, lest they should be expelled the synagogue;43 for they preferred approbation of men to the approbation of God.44 Then Jesus, raising his voice, said, He who believes on me, believes not on me only; but on him who sent me.45 And he who beholds me, beholds him who sent me.46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me, may not remain in darkness.47 And if any man hear my words, but do not observe them; it is not I, who condemn him; for I came, not to condemn the world, but to save the world.48 He who despises me, and rejects my instructions, has that which condemns him. The doctrine which I have taught will condemn him at the last day.49 For I have not said anything from myself; but the Father who sent me, has commanded me what I should enjoin, and what I should teach.50 And I know, that his commandment is eternal life. Whatever, therefore, I say, I speak as the Father has given me in charge.
