"*** JOHN 12 ***" 
"Jesus arrives at Bethany   1Six days before the Passover , Jesus arrived at"
"Bethany where Lazarus lived , whom he had raised from the dead .   2A dinner was given in his honour and Martha served , while Lazarus was among those reclining with Jesus at the table . Mary anoints Jesus with expensive perfumed oil   3Then Mary the sister of Lazarus took a jar of pure nard , an expensive perfumed oil and poured it on the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair .   4The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume . Judas Iscariot objects to waste of money   5But Judas Iscariot one of the Twelve who was to betray Jesus objected and said , Why was this perfume"
"not sold and the money given to the poor? It is worth about 300 denarii .   6Judas did not say this because he cared for the poor but because he was a thief . As keeper of the money bag he would help himself from what was put into it . Judas is rebuked by Jesus   7But Jesus said , Do not bother this woman. She has kept it until now to anoint me in preparation for my burial. 8You will always have the poor with you but you will not always have me. The chief priests plan to kill Lazarus also   9Meanwhile a large crowd heard that Jesus was at Bethany and came out to him and also"
"to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead .   10Therefore the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus also , for on account of him many of the people were believing in Jesus . Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem   11The next day , the great crowd that had come for the Passover heard that Jesus was about to enter Jerusalem . 12So many took palm branches and went out to meet him shouting , Hosanna Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jehovah Blessed is the King of Israel   Jesus had found a young donkey and was riding upon it ."
"14Then still more people , having heard of the great miracle of raising Lazaruswent out to meet him . Crowd in Jerusalem waving palm branches re-enacting the triumphant entry by Jesus. The Pharisees become desperate   15The Pharisees said to one another , See, we are getting nowhere . Look how the whole world is going after him . Some Greeks want to meet with Jesus   16There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the Feast . They spoke to Philip who was from Bethsaida and said, We would like to meet with Jesus . Jesus hour has come to be glorified   17Philip and"
"Andrew went and told Jesus , but he replied , The hour has now come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Parable of seed of wheat Not until a seed of wheat falls to the ground and dies does it produce more seed. He who loves his earth life  shall lose Eternal Life   19He who loves his life shall lose it, but he who detests his life in this world shall save it and gain Eternal Life. 20Whoever serves   me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. The Father will honour all who serve me. The Father speaks to"
"Jesus  and the crowd hear his voice   21Now my spirit is troubled and what shall I say? Father save me from this hour? No, for it was for this very hour that I came.   22O Father, glorify your name.   23Then came a voice from heaven saying , I have glorified it and will glorify it again.   24The crowd heard the voice and said it was thunder . Others said , An angel has spoken to him.   25Jesus said , The voice was for your sake, not mine. Jesus to draw all unto him   26Now is the time for judgement on this world. Now the ruler of this world shall be driven out. 27And when I am"
"lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto me.  He said this to show by what manner of death he was to die .* Is not the Christ to remain forever?   28Someone in the crowd spoke up saying , The scriptures say that the Christ is to remain forever , why then do you say The Son of Man must be lifted up?    29Jesus answered , You will have the light with you only a little while longer. Walkwhile you have the light before darkness overtakes you.  Put your trust in the light while you have it so that you may becomechildren of light. Many who believe in Jesus  afraid to confess it"
"When he had finished speaking Jesus hid himself from the crowd , for even though he had done many miracles in their presence , still they would not believe in him .   32Yet many did believe in him , even among the leaders , but because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be expelled from the synagogue . 33For they loved the praise of men more than the praise ofGod. The words of Jesus will condemn unbelievers  on the day of judgement    Therefore Jesus had cried out to them saying , If anyone hears my words and does not obey them he will be condemned. I will"
"not condemn him, for I came to save theworld not to condemn it. The words I speak will condemn him at the last day. Whoever sees Jesus  sees the Father who sent him    Anyone who believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sentme. When he sees me he sees the one who sent me.   The Father commanded Jesus  what to say and how to say it   36The Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. Hiscommandments lead to Eternal Life."  
"*** JOHN 13 ***" 
"Jesus washes the feet of his apostles  at the Last"
"Supper   1It was now the night before the Passover and Jesus knew that the time had come for him toleave this world and return to the Father . Having loved his own who were in the world he now showed them the full extent of his love .   3As the Passover supper was being eaten Jesus arose from the meal and laid aside his outer clothing and wrapped a towel around hiswaist .  He then poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of his twelve disciples , drying them with the towel that was wrappedaround him . Peter resists at first    He came to Peter who said to him , No Lord , you shall"
"never wash my feet .   6Jesus answered , Unless I do, you have no part with me.   7Peter replied , Then Lord , not just my feet but my hands and my head as well .   8Jesus answered , He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet. And you are clean, though not all of you. For he knew who was going to betray him . He poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of his twelve disciples  (John 13:4) The apostles also to wash one anothers feet   9When Jesus had finished washing their feet , he again put on his outer clothing and returned to his place .   10He said to them , Do you"
"understand what I have done for you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so for that iswhat I am. Now if your Lord and Teacherhas washed your feet, you should also wash one anothers feet.  I have set you an example. You should do as I have done foryou.    No servant is greater than his master. Now that you know these things you will beblessed if you do them. Jesus reveals who will betray him    After Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit and declared , One of you will betray me.   14His disciples looked at one another . One of them , the disciple whom Jesus loved was"
"reclining next to him . Peter motioned to this disciple and said , Ask him which one of us he means .   15So leaning back against Jesus he said to him, Lord, who is it?    16Jesus answered , It is he to whom I give this piece of bread. Then dipping the piece of bread in the dish he gave it to Judas Iscariot .   17As soon as Judas took the bread Satan entered into him . Jesus said to him , What you are about to do, do quickly. Judas had charge of the money bag   18No one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to Judas . Since Judas had charge of the money bag some thought that"
"Jesus was instructing him to go and buy what was neededfor the coming Passover , or to give something to the poor . Judas departs into the night    As soon as Judas had eaten the bread he went out , and it was night .   20When he was gone Jesus said , Now will the Son of Man be glorified, and in him is God glorified. Apostles to love one another   21My children I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me but where I am going you cannot come.   22This new commandment I give you, Love one another. As I have loved you love one another. 23By this shall men know that you are"
"my disciples, if you have love onefor another. Apostles to fo llow Jesus later    Peter said to him , Lord, where are you going?  Jesus replied , Where I am going you cannot follow now, but you will follow later. Jesus tells Peter «You will  deny you know me three times   25Peter said , Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you .   26Jesus answered , Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I say, before the cock crows in the morning you will deny you know me, three times. Many mansions where my Father dwells   27But let not your hearts be troubled."
"Trust in God and trust in me also. For where my Father dwells there are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. Then I will return and take you to be with me. 29You know the way to the place where I am going. No one comes unto the Father but by me   30Thomas said , Lord we do not know where you are going . How can we know the way?    31Jesus replied , I am the way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes unto the Father but by me. If you really knew me you would know my Father also. Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father"
"32Philip said , Lord, show us the Father and we will be content.   33Jesus answered , Do you not know me Philip, even after I have been among you allthis time?  Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. The Father does his work through me   35Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words I say to you are not my own, rather it is the Father living in me who is doing his work.   36Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or at leastbelieve in the evidence of the miracles. Anyone who has faith shall do even  greater miracles than"
"Jesus    Truly anyone who has faith in me shall do what I have been doing, and will do even greater miracles than these.   Because I am going to the Father I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 39You may ask anything in my name and I will do it. The Father will give you the Comforter who is the Holy Spirit   40If you love me you will keep my commandments, and I will ask the Father and he shall give you another Comforter tobe with you forever, even the Spirit of truth.    The world cannot receive him for it neither sees him or knows him, but"
"you will know him, for he shall abide with you and be in you."
