Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:3 - Mary then took a [fn]pound of very expensive perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:4 - But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one who intended to [fn]betray Him, *said,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:5 - “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred [fn]denarii and the proceeds given to poor people?
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:6 - Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he kept the money box, he used to [fn]steal from what was put into it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:7 - Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it [fn]for the day of My burial.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:8 - “For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:9 -

The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but so that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:10 - But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:11 - because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:18 - For this reason also the [fn]people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this [fn]sign.

Jesus Foretells His Death

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:27 -

“Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:28 - “Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:29 - So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:30 - Jesus responded and said, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for yours.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:31 - “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:32 - “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:34 - The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the [fn]Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:35 - So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:37 - But though He had performed so many [fn]signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:38 - This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:39 - For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:40 - “HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WILL NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND [fn]BE CONVERTED, AND SO I WILL NOT HEAL THEM.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:41 - These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke about Him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:42 - Nevertheless many, even of the rulers, believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be excommunicated from the synagogue;
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:43 - for they loved the [fn]approval of people rather than the [fn]approval of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:44 -

Unchecked Copy BoxJhn 12:49 - “For I did not speak [fn]on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.
