Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
Jesus Anointed at Bethany
Six days before the Passover celebration began, Jesus arrived in Bethany, the home of Lazarus — the man he had raised from the dead.
Six days before the Passover celebration began, Jesus arrived in Bethany, the home of Lazarus — the man he had raised from the dead.
There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray him, said,
Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
Not that he cared for the poor — he was a thief, and since he was in charge of the disciples’ money, he often stole some for himself.
Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
Jesus replied, “Leave her alone. She did this in preparation for my burial.
for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
Then the leading priests decided to kill Lazarus, too,
because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
Jesus’ Triumphant Entry
The next day, the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city. A large crowd of Passover visitors
took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, fulfilling the prophecy that said:
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
[Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
His disciples didn’t understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him.
The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
That was the reason so many went out to meet him — because they had heard about this miraculous sign.
The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
Jesus Predicts His Death

these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.

Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
Philip told Andrew about it, and they went together to ask Jesus.
But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels — a plentiful harvest of new lives.
He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be *my* servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.
Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
“Now my soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But this is the very reason I came!
Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
Father, bring glory to your name.”
Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, “I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again.”
Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, “I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again.”
The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
When the crowd heard the voice, some thought it was thunder, while others declared an angel had spoken to him.
Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
Then Jesus told them, “The voice was for your benefit, not mine.
Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out.
and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.”
But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
He said this to indicate how he was going to die.
The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who *is* this, the Son of man?
Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.
While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.
Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.”
After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
The Unbelief of the People
But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,

The Unbelief of the People
But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him.
that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
But the people couldn’t believe, for as Isaiah also said,
He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he said this, because he saw the future and spoke of the Messiah’s glory.
Some Believe in Jesus
Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
Many people did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldn’t admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.
for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
For they loved human praise more than the praise of God.
But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
Jesus shouted to the crowds, “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me.
and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.
I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.
and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it.
He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken.
For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it.
