1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, who He had raised from the dead.
2 There they made Him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard,and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Then one of Jesus’ disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who was about to betray Him, said,
5 “Why wasn’t this fragrant oil sold for three hundred denariiand given to the poor?”
6 Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and since he had the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it.
7 Jesus therefore said,
9 Then a great multitude of the Jews learned that He was there; and they came, not just for Jesus’ sake, but also so that they could see Lazarus, who He had raised from the dead.
10 So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
12 The next day, when a great multitude that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and shouted:
14 Then Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written:
16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
17 So the crowd that had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.
18 The crowd also met Him because they heard that He had done this sign.
19 Then the Pharisees said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after Him!”
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
21 Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and told him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22 Philip came and told Andrew, then Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.
23 Jesus answered them, saying,
28 Then a voice came from Heaven, saying,
29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered,
33 He was saying this to indicate the kind of death He was about to die.
34 Therefore the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever, so how can You say,? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Jesus told them,
36 After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.
37 Although He had performed so many signs in front of them, they still didn’t believe in Him,
38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:
39 Therefore they couldn’t believe, because Isaiah said again:
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they weren’t confessing Him, for fear that they might be put out of the synagogue;
43 because they sincerely loved men’s approval more than God’s approval.
44 Jesus cried out and said,
