1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, the manwho had died and whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
2 They prepared a supper for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of the people reclining at the table with him.
3 Then Mary took a pound of expensive ointment made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Thenone of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was about to betray him, said,
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
6 (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was the keeper of the moneybag and would pilfer what was put into it.)
7 So Jesus said,
9 Meanwhilea large crowd of the Jews found out that Jesus was there, so they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.
12 On the next day, whena large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 they took palm branches and went out to meet him. They were crying out,
14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, just as it is written,
16 (His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things had been done to him.)
17 Now the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 That is why a crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had done this sign.
19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are achieving nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew,and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied to them,
28 Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
29 When the crowd standing there heard the voice, they said it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Jesus responded,
33 (He said this to indicate the kind of death he was going to die.)
34 The crowd responded to him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, so how can yoʋ say,? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35 Jesus said to them,
36 The Unbelief of the People After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
37 Although he had done so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him.
38 This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
39 For this reason they could not believe, for again Isaiah said,
41 Isaiah said these thingswhen he saw the Lord's glory and spoke about him.
42 Nevertheless, many even among the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not declare it openly, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
43 For they loved the glory that comes from men more than the glory that comes from God.
44 Then Jesus cried out,
