<h3>Mary Anoints Jesus</h3>12 Therefore, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 So they made Him a dinner there, and Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. 3 Mary then took a pound of very expensive perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one who intended to betray Him, *said, 5 “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the proceeds given to poor people?” 6 Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he kept the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it. 7 Therefore Jesus said, <woj>“Leave her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.</woj> 8 <woj> For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”</woj> 9 The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but so that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus. <h3>The Triumphal Entry</h3> 12 On the next day, when the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began shouting, “ Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, indeed, the King of Israel!” 14 Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: 15 “ Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” 16 These things His disciples did not understand 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 for Him. 17 So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him. 18 For this reason also the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are not accomplishing anything; look, the world has gone after Him!” <h3>Greeks Seek Jesus</h3> 20 Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast; 21 these people then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were making a request of him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip *came and *told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus. 23 But Jesus *answered them by saying, <woj>“ The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.</woj> 24 <woj>Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.</woj> 25 <woj> The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.</woj> 26 <woj>If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.</woj> <h3>Jesus Foretells His Death</h3> 27 <woj>“ Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? ‘ Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.</woj> 28 <woj> Father, glorify Your name.”</woj> Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “ An angel has spoken to Him!” 30 Jesus responded and said, <woj>“ This voice has not come for My sake, but for yours.</woj> 31 <woj> Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.</woj> 32 <woj>And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.”</woj> 33 Now He was saying this to indicate what kind of death He was going to die. 34 The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, <woj>‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’</woj>? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, <woj>“ For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.</woj> 36 <woj>While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”</woj>These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and hid Himself from them. 37 But though He had performed so many signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him. 38 This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: “ Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39 For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, 40 “ He has blinded their eyes and He hardened their heart, so that they will not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and be converted, and so I will not heal them.” 41 These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke about Him. 42 Nevertheless many, even of the rulers, believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be excommunicated from the synagogue; 43 for they loved the approval of people rather than the approval of God. 44 Now Jesus cried out and said, <woj>“ The one who believes in Me, does not believe only in Me, but also in Him who sent Me.</woj> 45 <woj>And the one who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.</woj> 46 <woj> I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness.</woj> 47 <woj>If anyone hears My teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.</woj> 48 <woj> The one who rejects Me and does not accept My teachings has one who judges him: the word which I spoke. That will judge him on the last day.</woj> 49 <woj> For I did not speak on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.</woj> 50 <woj>And I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”</woj>

John 12:1

<cr>1</cr>Therefore, six days before <cr>2</cr>the Passover, Jesus came to <cr>3</cr>Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

So they made Him a dinner there, and <cr>1</cr>Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

John 12:2

<cr>1</cr>Mary then took a <ft>1</ft>pound of very expensive <cr>2</cr>perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

John 12:3

But <cr>1</cr>Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one who intended to <ft>1</ft>betray Him, *said,

John 12:4

“Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred <ft>1</ft>denarii and the proceeds given to poor people?”

John 12:5

Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he <cr>1</cr>kept the money box, he used to <ft>1</ft>steal from <cr>2</cr>what was put into it.

John 12:6

Therefore Jesus said, <woj>“Leave her alone, so that she may keep it <ft>1</ft>for <cr>1</cr>the day of My burial.</woj>

John 12:7

<woj><cr>1</cr>For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”</woj>

John 12:8

The <cr>1</cr>large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but so that they might also see Lazarus, <cr>2</cr>whom He raised from the dead.

John 12:9

But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also,

John 12:10

because <cr>1</cr>on account of him <cr>2</cr>many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.

John 12:11

John 12:12

On the next day, when <cr>1</cr>the large crowd that had come to <cr>2</cr>the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began shouting, “<cr>1</cr>Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, indeed, the <cr>2</cr>King of Israel!”

John 12:13

Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

John 12:14

“<cr>1</cr>Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”

John 12:15

<cr>1</cr>These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus <cr>2</cr>was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things for Him.

John 12:16

So <cr>1</cr>the <ft>1</ft>people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

John 12:17

<cr>1</cr>For this reason also the <ft>1</ft>people went to meet Him, <cr>2</cr>because they heard that He had performed this <ft>2</ft>sign.

John 12:18

So the Pharisees said <ft>1</ft>to one another, “You see that you are not accomplishing anything; look, the world has gone after Him!”

John 12:19

John 12:20

Now there were some <cr>1</cr>Greeks among those who were going up to worship at <cr>2</cr>the feast;

these people then came to <cr>1</cr>Philip, who was from <cr>2</cr>Bethsaida of Galilee, and were making a request of him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

John 12:21

Philip *came and *told <cr>1</cr>Andrew; then Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus.

John 12:22

But Jesus *answered them by saying, <woj>“<cr>1</cr>The hour has come for the Son of Man to <cr>2</cr>be glorified.</woj>

John 12:23

<woj>Truly, truly I say to you, <cr>1</cr>unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.</woj>

John 12:24

<woj><cr>1</cr>The one who loves his <ft>1</ft>life loses it, and the one who <cr>2</cr>hates his <ft>2</ft>life in this world will keep it <ft>3</ft>to eternal life.</woj>

John 12:25

<woj>If anyone <ft>1</ft>serves Me, he must follow Me; and <cr>1</cr>where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone <ft>2</ft>serves Me, the Father will <cr>2</cr>honor him.</woj>

John 12:26

John 12:27

<woj>“<cr>1</cr>Now My soul has become troubled; and what am I to say? ‘<cr>2</cr>Father, save Me from <cr>3</cr>this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.</woj>

<woj><cr>1</cr>Father, glorify Your name.”</woj> Then a <cr>2</cr>voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

John 12:28

So the crowd who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “<cr>1</cr>An angel has spoken to Him!”

John 12:29

Jesus responded and said, <woj>“<cr>1</cr>This voice has not come for My sake, but for yours.</woj>

John 12:30

<woj><cr>1</cr>Now judgment is upon this world; now <cr>2</cr>the ruler of this world will be cast out.</woj>

John 12:31

<woj>And I, if I <cr>1</cr>am lifted up from the earth, will <cr>2</cr>draw all people to Myself.”</woj>

John 12:32

Now He was saying this <cr>1</cr>to indicate what kind of death He was going to die.

John 12:33

The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from <cr>1</cr>the Law that <cr>2</cr>the <ft>1</ft>Christ is to remain forever; and how is it that You say, <woj>‘The <cr>3</cr>Son of Man must be <cr>4</cr>lifted up’</woj>? Who is this <cr>5</cr>Son of Man?”

John 12:34

So Jesus said to them, <woj>“<cr>1</cr>For a little while longer <cr>2</cr>the Light is among you. <cr>3</cr>Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; also, the one who <cr>4</cr>walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.</woj>

John 12:35

<woj>While you have the Light, <cr>1</cr>believe in the Light, so that you may become <cr>2</cr>sons of Light.”</woj><pb/>These things Jesus proclaimed, and He went away and <cr>3</cr>hid Himself from them.

John 12:36

But though He had performed so many <ft>1</ft>signs in their sight, they still were not believing in Him.

John 12:37

This happened so that the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke would be fulfilled: “<cr>1</cr>Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

John 12:38

For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

John 12:39

“<cr>1</cr>He has blinded their eyes and He<cr>2</cr>hardened their heart, so that they will not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and<ft>1</ft>be converted, and so I will not heal them.”

John 12:40

These things Isaiah said because <cr>1</cr>he saw His glory, and <cr>2</cr>he spoke about Him.

John 12:41

Nevertheless <cr>1</cr>many, even of <cr>2</cr>the rulers, believed in Him, but <cr>3</cr>because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, so that they would not be <cr>4</cr>excommunicated from the synagogue;

John 12:42

<cr>1</cr>for they loved the <ft>1</ft>approval of people rather than the <ft>2</ft>approval of God.

John 12:43

Now Jesus cried out and said, <woj>“<cr>1</cr>The one who believes in Me, does not believe only in Me, but also in Him who sent Me.</woj>

John 12:44

John 12:45

<woj><cr>1</cr>I have come as Light into the world, so that no one who believes in Me will remain in darkness.</woj>

John 12:46

<woj>If anyone hears My <ft>1</ft>teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for <cr>1</cr>I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.</woj>

John 12:47

<woj><cr>1</cr>The one who rejects Me and does not <ft>1</ft>accept My <ft>2</ft>teachings has one who judges him: <cr>2</cr>the word which I spoke. That will judge him on <cr>3</cr>the last day.</woj>

John 12:48

<woj><cr>1</cr>For I did not speak <ft>1</ft>on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me <cr>2</cr>has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.</woj>

John 12:49

<woj>And I know that <cr>1</cr>His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak <cr>2</cr>just as the Father has told Me.”</woj>

John 12:50

 1  Therefore, six days before  the Passover, Jesus came to  Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 So they made Him a dinner there, and  Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. 3  Mary then took a  pound of very expensive  perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But  Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one who intended to  betray Him, *said, 5 “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred  denarii and the proceeds given to poor people?” 6 Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he  kept the money box, he used to  steal from  what was put into it. 7 Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it  for  the day of My burial. 8  For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.” 9 The  large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but so that they might also see Lazarus,  whom He raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also, 11 because  on account of him  many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus. 12 On the next day, when  the large crowd that had come to  the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began shouting, “ Hosanna!

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
