John 12 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Mary Anoints Jesus

(Mat 26:6–13; Mar 14:3–9 )

Jhn 12:1Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

Jhn 12:2

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

Jhn 12:3

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

Jhn 12:4

Jhn 12:4But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending 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 poor people?”

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 pilfer what was put into it.

Jhn 12:7

Jhn 12:7Therefore Jesus said, “Let her alone, so that she may keep [fn]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

Jhn 12:9The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

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.

Jesus Enters Jerusalem

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

Jhn 12:12

Jhn 12:12On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

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 LORD, even the King of Israel.”

Jhn 12:14

Jhn 12:14Jesus, 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 of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

Jhn 12:17

Jhn 12:17So the [fn]people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

Jhn 12:18

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

Jhn 12:19

Jhn 12:19So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him.”

Greeks Seek Jesus

Jhn 12:20

Jhn 12:20Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

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.

Jesus Foretells His Death

Jhn 12:27

Jhn 12:27“Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

Jhn 12:28

Jhn 12:28“Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of 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 sakes.

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 to die.

Jhn 12:34

Jhn 12:34The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that [fn]the Christ is to remain forever; and how can 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 things Jesus spoke, and He went away and [fn]hid Himself from them.

Jhn 12:37

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

Jhn 12:38

Jhn 12:38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE 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, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND [fn]BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM.”

Jhn 12:41

Jhn 12:41These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of 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, for fear that they would be [fn]put out of the synagogue;

Jhn 12:43

Jhn 12:43for they loved the [fn]approval of men rather than the [fn]approval of God.

Jhn 12:44

Jhn 12:44And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

Jhn 12:45

Jhn 12:45“He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

Jhn 12:46

Jhn 12:46“I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

Jhn 12:47

Jhn 12:47“If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

Jhn 12:48

Jhn 12:48“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

Jhn 12:49

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

Jhn 12:50

Jhn 12:50“I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”
