Mary Anoints Jesus with Costly Perfume

(Mat 26:6–13; Mar 14:3–9 )

Jesus^G2424, therefore^G3767, six^G1803 days^G2250 before^G4253 the Passover^G3957, came^G2064 to Bethany^G963 where^G3699 Lazarus^G2976 was, whom^G3739 Jesus^G2424 had raised^G1453 from the dead^G3498.

Jhn 12:2

Jhn 12:2So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

Jhn 12:3

Jhn 12:3Mary then took a [fn]litra of perfume of very costly 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.

Jhn 12:4

Jhn 12:4But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was going to [fn]betray Him, *said,

Jhn 12:5

Jhn 12:5“Why was this perfume not sold for [fn]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”

Jhn 12:6

Jhn 12:6Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to take from what was put into it.

Jhn 12:7

Jhn 12:7Therefore Jesus said, “Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.

Jhn 12:8

Jhn 12:8“For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”

Jhn 12:9

Then^G3767 the large^G4183 crowd^G3793 from the Jews^G2453 learned^G1097 that He was there^G1563. And they came^G2064, not because^G1223 of Jesus^G2424 only^G3440, but that they might also^G2532 see^G3708 Lazarus^G2976, whom^G3739 He raised^G1453 from the dead^G3498.

Jhn 12:10

Jhn 12:10But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;

Jhn 12:11

Jhn 12:11because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.

The Triumphal Entry

(Mat 21:1–11; Mar 11:1–11; Luk 19:28–40 )

Jhn 12:12

On the next^G1887 day^G1887 the large^G4183 crowd^G3793 who had come^G2064 to the feast^G1859, when they heard^G191 that Jesus^G2424 was coming^G2064 to Jerusalem^G2414,

Jhn 12:13

Jhn 12:13took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE [fn]LORD, even the King of Israel.”

Jhn 12:14

Jhn 12:14And Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

Jhn 12:15

Jhn 12:15“FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY’S COLT.”

Jhn 12:16

Jhn 12:16These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

Jhn 12:17

Jhn 12:17So the crowd, who was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to bear witness about Him.

Jhn 12:18

Jhn 12:18For this reason also the crowd went and met Him, because they heard that He had done this [fn]sign.

Jhn 12:19

Jhn 12:19So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing; look, the world has gone after Him.”

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

Jhn 12:20

Now^G1161 there^G1563 were some^G5100 Greeks^G1672 among^G1537 those^G3588 who were going^G305 up^G305 to worship^G4352 at the feast^G1859;

Jhn 12:21

Jhn 12:21these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

Jhn 12:22

Jhn 12:22Philip *came and *told Andrew; Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus.

Jhn 12:23

Jhn 12:23And Jesus *answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jhn 12:24

Jhn 12:24“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Jhn 12:25

Jhn 12:25“He who loves his [fn]life loses it, and he who hates his [fn]life in this world will keep it to life eternal.

Jhn 12:26

Jhn 12:26“If anyone [fn]serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone [fn]serves Me, the Father will honor him.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

Jhn 12:27

“Now^G3568 MY SOUL^G5590 HAS BECOME DISMAYED^G5015; and what^G5101 shall I say^G3004, ‘Father^G3962, SAVE^G4982 ME from this^G3778 hour^G5610’? But for this^G3778 purpose I came^G2064 to this^G3778 hour^G5610.

Jhn 12:28

Jhn 12:28“Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

Jhn 12:29

Jhn 12:29So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

Jhn 12:30

Jhn 12:30Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sake.

Jhn 12:31

Jhn 12:31“Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

Jhn 12:32

Jhn 12:32“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”

Jhn 12:33

Jhn 12:33But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was about to die.

Jhn 12:34

Jhn 12:34The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the [fn]Christ is to remain forever; and how do You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

Jhn 12:35

Jhn 12:35So 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; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

Jhn 12:36

Jhn 12:36“While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”

These^G3778 things^G3778 Jesus^G2424 spoke^G2980, and He went^G565 away^G565 and [fn]hid^G2928 Himself from them.

Jhn 12:37

Jhn 12:37But though He had done so many [fn]signs before them, they still were not believing in Him,

Jhn 12:38

Jhn 12:38so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “[fn]LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE [fn]LORD BEEN REVEALED?”

Jhn 12:39

Jhn 12:39For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

Jhn 12:40

Jhn 12:40“HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, LEST THEY SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND RETURN AND I HEAL THEM.”

Jhn 12:41

Jhn 12:41These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke about Him.

Jhn 12:42

Jhn 12:42Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, [fn]for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

Jhn 12:43
