John 12
John 12:1 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.
-
Were written = had been written
-
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye
think ye have eternal life: and they are they
which testify of me.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of
his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
-
John 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly,
Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not
there, to the intent ye may believe;
nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus,
unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that
we may die with him.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had
lain in the grave four days already.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he
had done this miracle.
-
For this cause = on account
-
Miracle = sign
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye
prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
-
Pharisees = false teachers
-
Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the
Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he
said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
-
Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude,
and to his disciples,
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in
Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
that observe and do; but do not ye after
their works: for they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be
borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they
themselves will not move them with one of their
fingers.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of
men: they make broad their phylacteries, and
enlarge the borders of their garments,
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at
the feast:
-
And this was the third day before the Passover,
12th of Nisan, our Sunday sunset to Monday
sunset.
-
Greeks = gentiles, not Greeks-speaking Jews, or
Grecians.
-
Acts 6:1 And in those days, when the number of
the disciples was multiplied, there arose a
murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews,
because their widows were neglected in the daily
ministration.
-
Acts 9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians:
but they went about to slay him.
-
Worship = This would be in the outer court of
the Temple, called the Court of the Gentiles.
-
Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple
leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the
Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty
and two months.
-
The feast = They would not be allowed to eat the
Passover, unless they were proselytes.
-
Exodus 12:47 All the congregation of Israel
shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee,
and will keep the Passover to the Lord, let all
his males be circumcised, and then let him come
near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is
born in the land: for no uncircumcised person
shall eat thereof.
49 One law shall be to him that is home born,
and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
-
Andrew belonged to the first group of the
Apostles, Philip to the second.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of
man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
-
If you only look for material things of this
earth age.
-
We're here for reason, God need to know if your
going to follow Him
or Satan
-
God needs to know if you love Him
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall
also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from
this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it
thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for
your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world
be cast out.
-
Now = five days before Passover
-
Judgment = Greek word = NT:2920 krisis =
decision for or against by extension, a
tribunal; by implication, justice (especially,
divine law): accustion, condemnation, damnation,
judgment.
-
The crisis reached when the world pronounced
judgment against Christ and His claims.
-
Prince = ruler = Greek word = NT:758 = archon =
of NT:757 = prince, ruler.
-
Applies to Satan as prince of this world
-
Three times here:
-
John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with
you: for the prince of this world cometh, and
hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the
Father; and as the Father gave me commandment,
even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
-
John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of
this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but
ye cannot bear them now.
-
As prince of the demons in Matthew 12:24 But
when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This
fellow doth not cast out devils, but by
Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
-
Mark 3:22 And the scribes which came down from
Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the
prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
-
And as prince of the power of the air in
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world, according
to the prince of the power of the air, the
spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
-
The same word used in Revelation 1:5 of the
Lord.
-
Revelation 1:5 And from
Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and
the first begotten of the dead, and the prince
of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved
us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood,
-
The prince of this world was a well-know
Rabbinical term (prince of the age) for Satan,
the angel, as they say, "into whose hands the
whole world is delivered".
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up?
who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
-
Light = Yet a little while is the light with
you. Walk while ye have the light,
-
Darkness = lest darkness come upon you: for he
that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
-
Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and
peace there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David, and upon his
kingdom, to order it, and to establish
it with judgment and with justice from
henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord
of hosts will perform this.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath
lighted upon Israel.
-
Psalms 89:36 His seed shall endure
forever, and his throne as the sun
before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon,
and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the
children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide
himself from them.
-
4th trumpet = Revelation 8:12
-
You can not say, your a Christian and walk in
the darkness of this world
-
You have to care for your family and your
brother and sisters
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they
believed not on him:
38 That the saying of Esaias 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?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they
should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be
converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but
because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be
put out of the synagogue:
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me,
but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I
came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
-
Jesus came to save the world
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that
judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in
the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I
speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
-
His commandment is life everlasting
