John 12:1-16:33 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead man Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among the dead.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead. ² There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him. ³ 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. ⁴ One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says, ⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? ⁶ 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]. ⁷ Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial; ⁸ for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always. ⁹ 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. ¹⁰ But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also, ¹¹ because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus. ¹² On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem, ¹³ 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. ¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written, ¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass`s colt. ¹⁶ [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. ¹⁷ 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. ¹⁸ Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign. ¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him. ²⁰ And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast; ²¹ these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus. ²² Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus. ²³ But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴ 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. ²⁵ He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. ²⁶ 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. ²⁷ 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. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again. ²⁹ The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours. ³¹ Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out: ³² and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me. ³³ But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die. ³⁴ 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? ³⁵ 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. ³⁶ 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. ³⁷ But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him, ³⁸ 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? ³⁹ On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again, ⁴⁰ 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. ⁴¹ These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him. ⁴² 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: ⁴³ for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God. ⁴⁴ But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me; ⁴⁵ and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness; ⁴⁷ 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. ⁴⁸ 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. ⁴⁹ 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; ⁵⁰ and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak. ¹³ ¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end. ² And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up, ³ [Jesus,] knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God, ⁴ rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having taken a linen towel he girded himself: ⁵ then he pours water into the washhand basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the linen towel with which he was girded. ⁶ He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and *he* says to him, Lord, dost thou wash *my* feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou dost not know now, but thou shalt know hereafter. ⁸ Peter says to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee, thou hast not part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus says to him, He that is washed all over needs not to wash save his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all. ¹¹ For he knew him that delivered him up: on account of this he said, Ye are not all clean. ¹² When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, having sat down again, he said to them, Do ye know what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord, and ye say well, for I am [so]. ¹⁴ If I therefore, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another`s feet; ¹⁵ for I have given you an example that, as I have done to you, ye should do also. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say to you, The bondman is not greater than his lord, nor the sent greater than he who has sent him. ¹⁷ If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them. ¹⁸ I speak not of you all. I know those whom I have chosen; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹ I tell you [it] now before it happens, that when it happens, ye may believe that I am [he]. ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, He who receives whomsoever I shall send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who has sent me. ²¹ Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up. ²² The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³ Now there was at table one of his disciples in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Simon Peter makes a sign therefore to him to ask who it might be of whom he spoke. ²⁵ But he, leaning on the breast of Jesus, says to him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answers, He it is to whom I, after I have dipped the morsel, give it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote. ²⁷ And, after the morsel, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore says to him, What thou doest, do quickly. ²⁸ But none of those at table knew why he said this to him; ²⁹ for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ Having therefore received the morsel, he went out immediately; and it was night. ³¹ When therefore he was gone out Jesus says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² If God be glorified in him, God also shall glorify him in himself, and shall glorify him immediately. ³³ Children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go ye cannot come, I say to you also now. ³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves. ³⁶ Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where goest thou? Jesus answered him, Where I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me after. ³⁷ Peter says to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus answers, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe on God, believe also on me. ² In my Father`s house there are many abodes; were it not so, I had told you: for I go to prepare you a place; ³ and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be. ⁴ And ye know where I go, and ye know the way. ⁵ Thomas says to him, Lord, we know not where thou goest, and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father unless by me. ⁷ If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father, and henceforth ye know him and have seen him. ⁸ Philip says to him, Lord, shew us the Father and it suffices us. ⁹ Jesus says to him, Am I so long a time with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words which I speak to you I do not speak from myself; but the Father who abides in me, he does the works. ¹¹ Believe *me* that I [am] in the Father and the Father in me; but if not, believe me for the works` sake themselves. ¹² Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes on me, the works which I do shall he do also, and he shall do greater than these, because I go to the Father. ¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments. ¹⁶ And I will beg the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him nor know him; but ye know him, for he abides with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans, I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little and the world sees me no longer; but ye see me; because I live ye also shall live. ²⁰ In that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; but he that loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas, not the Iscariote, says to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loves me not does not keep my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but [that] of the Father who has sent me. ²⁵ These things I have said to you, abiding with you; ²⁶ but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, *he* shall teach you all things, and will bring to your remembrance all the things which I have said to you. ²⁷ I leave peace with you; I give *my* peace to you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it fear. ²⁸ Ye have heard that I have said unto you, I go away and I am coming to you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice that I go to the Father, for [my] Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it shall have come to pass ye may believe. ³⁰ I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world comes, and in me he has nothing; ³¹ but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has commanded me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit. ³ Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, *he* bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. ⁶ Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you. ⁸ In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine. ⁹ As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love. ¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father`s commandments and abide in his love. ¹¹ I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full. ¹² This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you. ¹⁵ I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on account of this the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours. ²¹ But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hates me hates also my Father. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause. ²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, *he* shall bear witness concerning me; ²⁷ and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the] beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended. ² They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God; ³ and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me. ⁴ But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them] unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the] beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you. ⁸ And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: ⁹ of sin, because they do not believe on me; ¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer; ¹¹ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. ¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. ¹³ But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce [it] to you. ¹⁶ A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father]. ¹⁷ [Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks. ¹⁹ Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy. ²¹ A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world. ²² And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you. ²³ And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father. ²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you, ²⁷ for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God. ²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory. ³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? ³² Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³ These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.
