John 12:9-32

⁹A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among the dead.

¹⁰But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,

¹¹because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.

¹²On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,

¹³took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.

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

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

¹⁶Now his disciples knew not these things 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.

¹⁷The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead.

¹⁸Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.

¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.

²⁰And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;

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

²²Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

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

²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.

²⁵He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.

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

²⁷Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.

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

²⁹The crowd therefore, which stood there and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.

³⁰Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.

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

³²and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
