John 12:9-32

⁹The common people 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.

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

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

¹²On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

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

¹⁴And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

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

¹⁶These 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.

¹⁷The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness.

¹⁸For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing; lo, the world is gone after him.

²⁰Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:

²¹these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

²²Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

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

²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.

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

²⁶If 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 the Father honor.

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

²⁸Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

²⁹The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.

³⁰Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes.

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

³²And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.
