JOHN 12:1-26
12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus 
was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
12:2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of 
them that sat at the table with him.
12:3 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.
12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should 
betray him,
12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the 
poor?
12:6 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.
12:7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she 
kept this.
12:8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
12:9 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.
12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on 
Jesus.
12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard 
that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12:13 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.
12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's 
colt.
12:16 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.
12:17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his 
grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
12:18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had 
done this miracle.
12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail 
nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
12:20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the 
feast:
12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and 
desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
12:22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man 
should be glorified.
12:24 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.
12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in 
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
12:26 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.
