KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)


1  Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

2  There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

3  Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4  Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

5  Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6  This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

7  Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

8  For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

9  Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10  But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

11  Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

12  On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13  Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

14  And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

15  Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

16  These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

17  The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

18  For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

19  The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

20  And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

21  The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

22  Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

23  And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

25  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

26  If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

27  Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

28  Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29  The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

30  Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

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 from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

33  This he said, signifying what death he should die.

34  The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

35  Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

36  While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

37  But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

38  That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39  Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

40  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

41  These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

42  Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

43  For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44  Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

45  And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

46  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49  For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50  And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

1  Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passouer, came to Bethanie, where Lazarus was, which had bene dead, whom hee raised from the dead.

2  There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them þt sate at the table with him.

3  Then tooke Mary a pound of ointment, of Spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Iesus, & wiped his feet with her haire: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4  Then saith one of his disciples, Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, which should betray him,

5  Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and giuen to the poore?

6  This he said, not that he cared for the poore: but because hee was a thiefe, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

7  Then said Iesus, Let her alone, against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

8  For the poore alwayes yee haue with you: but me ye haue not alwayes.

9  Much people of the Iewes therefore knew that he was there: and they came, not for Iesus sake onely, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10  ¶ But the chiefe Priests consulted, þt they might put Lazarus also to death,

11  Because that by reason of him many of the Iewes went away and beleeued on Iesus.

12  ¶ On the next day, much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus was comming to Hierusalem,

13  Tooke branches of Palme trees, and went foorth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that cōmeth in the Name of the Lord.

14  And Iesus, when he had found a yong asse, sate thereon, as it is written,

15  Feare not, daughter of Sion, behold, thy King commeth, sitting on an asses colt.

16  These things vnderstood not his disciples at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, then remēbred they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things vnto him.

17  The people therefore that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

18  For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that hee had done this miracle.

19  The Pharisees therefore saide among themselues, Perceiue ye how yee preuaile nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.

20  ¶ And there were certaine Greeks among them, that came vp to worship at the feast:

21  The same came therefore to Philip which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Iesus.

22  Philip commeth and telleth Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philip told Iesus.

23  ¶ And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man should be glorified.

24  Uerely, verely, I say vnto you, Except a corne of wheat fall into the ground, and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

25  He that loueth his life, shall lose it: and hee that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall.

26  If any man serue me, let him follow me, and where I am, there shall also my seruant be: If any man serue me, him will my father honour.

27  Now is my soule troubled, and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre, but for this cause came I vnto this houre.

28  Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voice from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and wil glorifie it againe.

29  The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, that it thundered: others said, An Angel spake to him.

30  Iesus answered, and said, This voice came not because of mee, but for your sakes.

31  Now is the iudgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

32  And I, if I be lifted vp from the earth, will draw all men vnto me.

33  (This hee said, signifying what death he should die)

34  The people answered him, We haue heard out of the Law, that Christ abideth for euer: and how sayest thou, The Sonne of man must bee lift vp? Who is this Sonne of man?

35  Then Iesus said vnto them, Yet a little while is the light with you: walke while ye haue the light, lest darkdesse come vpon you: For he that walketh in darkenesse, knoweth not whither he goeth.

36  While ye haue light, beleeue in the light, that ye may bee the children of light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and did hide himselfe from them.

37  ¶ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they beleeued not on him:

38  That the saying of Esaias the Prophet might be fulfilled, which hee spake, Lord, who hath beleeued our report? and to whom hath the arme of the Lord beene reuealed?

39  Therefore they could not beleeue, because that Esaias said againe,

40  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardned their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and be conuerted, and I should heale them.

41  These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

42  ¶ Neuerthelesse, among the chiefe rulers also, many beleeued on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confesse him, lest they should be put out of the Synagogue.

43  For they loued the praise of men, more then the praise of God.

44  ¶ Iesus cried, and said, He that beleeueth on me, beleeueth not on me, but on him that sent me.

45  And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

46  I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth on me, should not abide in darkenesse.

47  And if any man heare my words, and beleeue not, I iudge him not; For I came not to iudge the world, but to saue the world.

48  He that reiecteth me, and receiueth not my words, hath one that iudgeth him: þe word that I haue spoken, the same shall iudge him in the last day.

49  For I haue not spoken of my selfe; but the Father which sent me, he gaue me a commaundement what I should say, and what I should speake.

50  And I know that his commandement is life euerlasting: whatsoeuer I speake therefore, euen as the Father said vnto me, so I speake.
