he was a thief, and had the
treasure-chest, and carried off the things put in it. [12:7]Then Jesus
said, Let her alone, that she may keep this for the day of preparation
for my burial; [12:8]the poor you always have with you, but me you have
not always.

2 [12:9]A great multitude of the Jews, therefore, knew that he was
there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but also to see Lazarus
whom he had raised from the dead. [12:10]And the chief priests took
counsel to kill Lazarus also, [12:11]because many of the Jews withdrew
on his account and believed in Jesus.

3 [12:12]On the next day a great multitude having come to the feast,
having heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, [12:13]took branches
of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is
he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel! [12:14]And
Jesus finding a young ass sat on it, as it is written; [12:15]Fear not,
Daughter of Zion; behold, your King comes sitting on the colt of an
ass. [12:16]His disciples did not understand these things at first; but
when Jesus was glorified then they remembered that these things were
written of him, and that they had done these things to him. [12:17]The
multitude, therefore, which was with him, testified that he called
Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him from the dead. [12:18]On this
account also the multitude met him, because they heard that he had
performed this miracle. [12:19]The Pharisees, therefore, said among
themselves, You see that you have gained nothing; behold, the world has
gone after him. [12:20]And there were some Greeks of those who went up
to Jerusalem to worship at the feast; [12:21]these, therefore, came to
Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir,
we wish to see Jesus. [12:22]Philip went and told Andrew, and again
Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. [12:23]And Jesus answered them,
saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified.
[12:24]I tell you most truly, that unless the kernel of wheat falls
into the earth and dies, it continues alone; but if it dies, it bears
much fruit. [12:25]He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that
hates his life in this world shall preserve it to eternal life.
[12:26]If any man serves me let him follow me; and where I am there
also shall my servant be. If anyone serves me, him will the Father
honor. [12:27]Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father,
save me from this
