1Six days before Passover Jesus went back to Bethany, where he had raised Lazarus from death.
2A meal had been prepared for Jesus. Martha was doing the serving, and Lazarus himself was there.
3 and poured it on Jesus' feet. She wiped them with her hair, and the sweet smell of the perfume filled the house.
4A disciple named Judas Iscariot was there. He was the one who was going to betray Jesus, and he asked,
5“Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 silver coins and the money given to the poor?”
6Judas did not really care about the poor. He asked this because he carried the moneybag and sometimes would steal from it.
7Jesus replied, “Leave her alone! She has kept this perfume for the day of my burial.
8 They shouted,
“Hooray!
God bless the one who comes
in the name of the Lord!
God bless the King
of Israel!”
14Jesus found a donkey and rode on it, just as the Scriptures say,
15 they remembered all this. Everything had happened exactly as the Scriptures said it would.
17-18A crowd had come to meet Jesus because they had seen him call Lazarus out of the tomb. They kept talking about him and this miracle.
19But the Pharisees said to each other, “There is nothing we can do! Everyone in the world is following Jesus.”
Some Greeks Want To Meet Jesus20Some Greeks had gone to Jerusalem to worship during Passover.
21Philip from Bethsaida in Galilee was there too. So they went to him and said, “Sir, we would like to meet Jesus.”
22Philip told Andrew. Then the two of them went to Jesus and told him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up23Jesus said:
The time has come for the Son of Man to be given his glory.
24I tell you for certain that a grain of wheat that falls on the ground will never be more than one grain unless it dies. But if it dies, it will produce lots of wheat.
25 is already being thrown out!
32If I am lifted up above the earth, I will make everyone want to come to me.”
33Jesus was talking about the way he would be put to death.
34 among the people, but they were still not willing to have faith in him.

42Even then, many of the leaders put their faith in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone about it. The Pharisees had already given orders for the people not to have anything to do with anyone who had faith in Jesus.
43And besides, the leaders liked praise from others more than they liked praise from God.
Jesus Came To Save the World44In a loud voice Jesus said:
Everyone who has faith in me also has faith in the one who sent me.
45And everyone who has seen me has seen the one who sent me.
46I am the light that has come into the world. No one who has faith in me will stay in the dark.
47I am not the one who will judge those who refuse to obey my teachings. I came to save the people of this world, not to be their judge.
48But everyone who rejects me and my teachings will be judged on the last day by what I have said.
49I don't speak on my own. I say only what the Father who sent me has told me to say.
50I know that his commands will bring eternal life. This is why I tell you exactly what the Father has told me.
