12On the morrow a great multitude who came to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13took branches of palm, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14Then Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written, 15“Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on the foal of an ass.” 16These things indeed knew not his disciples at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17Then the multitude that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore their testimony. 18Therefore also the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had done this miracle. 19Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Do ye not perceive that ye gain no advantage? behold, the world is gone after him.
20Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast: 21these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. 22Philip comes and speaks to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 23Then Jesus answered 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 falling on the earth undergo a deathlike change, it abideth single: but if it thus die, it beareth abundant produce. 25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal. 26If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 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! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29The multitude that stood by, and heard it, said that it was thunder: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. 30Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for your’s. 31Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the ruler of this world be ejected out of it. 32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33And this he said, signifying by what death he should die.
34Then the multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? 35Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not even whither he is going. 36While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.
37Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not on him: 38that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, “Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again; 40“He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.” 41These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 42However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues: 43for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.
44Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. 46I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day. 49Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak I.
[CHAP. XIII.]
NOW before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come, that he should go out of this world to the Father, having loved his peculiar people that are in the world, he loved them to the end. 2And supper being served, (the devil having now injected into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray him;) 3Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came out from God, and was going to God; 4he rises from supper, and lays aside his garments, and taking a towel, he wound it about himself. 5Then he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was begirt. 6Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and he saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet: no, never. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. 9Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed hath need only to wash his feet, for he is entirely clean: and ye are clean, but not all. 11(For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, Ye are not all clean.) 12When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you? 13Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye speak truly; for such I am. 14If therefore I have washed your feet, though the Lord and the Master; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15For I have given you an example, that just as I have done to you, ye should do also. 16Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his master; nor the messenger greater than him that sent him. 17If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye practise them. 18I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift up his heel against me. 19Now I tell you previously, before this comes to pass, that, when it cometh to pass, ye may believe that I am. 20Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
21As Jesus was speaking these words, he was greatly agitated in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22Then the disciples looked one at another, doubting of whom he spake. 23Now there was one of the disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved. 24Therefore Simon Peter gave him a significant look, that he should inquire of Jesus, which of them it should be of whom he spake. 25And he leaning on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, which is it? 26Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel of bread, when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel of bread, he gave it unto Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus saith to him, What thou doest, do quickly. 28Now none of those who sat at table knew wherefore he had spoken to him. 29For some supposed, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30Having then received the sop, he went out immediately: now it was night.
