Basic HTML Version
the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50
Nor consider that it is
expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should
die for that nation;
52
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one
the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53
Then from that day forth they took counsel
together for to put him to death.
54
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but
went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued
with his disciples.
55
And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem
before the passover, to purify themselves.
56
Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among
themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57
Now
both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where
he were, he should shew
it,
that they might take him.
CHAPTER 12
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead,
whom he raised from the dead.
2
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus
was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard,
very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was
filled with the odour of the ointment.
4
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s
son,
which should betray him,
5
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to
the poor?
6
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag,
and bare what was put therein.
7
Then said Jesus,
Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath
she kept this.
8
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9
Much people
of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they
might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11
Because that by
reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was
coming to Jerusalem,
13
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried,
Hosanna: Blessed
is
the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14
And Jesus, when he
had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King
cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when
Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and
that
they had
done these things unto him.
17
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out
of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18
For this cause the people also met him,
