John 12 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^12:1 Jesus therefore six days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
^12:2 So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who sat to eat with him.
^12:3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
^12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should deliver him up, says,
^12:5 Why wasn't this ointment sold for 300 denarii, and given to the poor?
^12:6 Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put in it.
^12:7 Jesus therefore said, Allow her to keep it against the day of my burying.
^12:8 For the poor you⁺ always have with you⁺; but me you⁺ do not always have.
^12:9 The large crowd therefore of the Jews learned 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.
^12:10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;
^12:11 because by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
^12:12 On the next day the great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
^12:13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he who comes, the King of Israel, in the name of Yahweh.
^12:14 And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,
^12:15 Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion: look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt.
^12:16 These 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.
^12:17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
^12:18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.
^12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Look at how you⁺ prevail nothing: look, the world has gone after him.
^12:20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast:
^12:21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we want to see Jesus.
^12:22 Philip comes and tells Andrew: Andrew comes, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
^12:23 And Jesus answers them, saying, The hour has come, that the Son of Man should be glorified.
^12:24 Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, Except a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it stays alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
^12:25 He who loves his soul loses it; and he who hates his soul in this world will keep it to eternal life.
^12:26 If any man serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will also my servant be: if any man serves me, the Father will honor him.
^12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came to this hour.
^12:28 Father, glorify your name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, [saying,] I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
^12:29 The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel has spoken to him.
^12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice has not come for my sake, but for your⁺ sakes.
^12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now will the prince of this world be cast out.
^12:32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
^12:33 But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
^12:34 The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ stays forever: and how do you say, The Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?
^12:35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light among you⁺. Walk while you⁺ have the light, that darkness does not overtake you⁺: and he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
^12:36 While you⁺ have the light, believe on the light, that you⁺ may become sons of light. These things Jesus spoke, and he departed and hid himself from them.
^12:37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn't believe on him:
^12:38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?"
^12:39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
^12:40 "He has blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them."
^12:41 Isaiah said these things, because he saw his glory; and he spoke of him.
^12:42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [it], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
^12:43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
^12:44 And Jesus cried and said, He who believes on me, does not believe on me, but on him who sent me.
^12:45 And he who looks at me looks at him who sent me.
^12:46 I have come a light into the world, that whoever believes on me may not stay in the darkness.
^12:47 And if any man hears my sayings, and does not keep them, I do not judge him: for I didn't come to judge the world, but to save the world.
^12:48 He who rejects me, and does not receive my sayings, has one who judges him: the word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.
^12:49 For I did not speak from myself; but the Father who sent me, he has given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
^12:50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
