## John 12:9-19 in Context (Verses 6–22 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/john/12/6) 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 ](/kjv/john/12/7) Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/john/12/8) For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/john/12/9) 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 ](/kjv/john/12/10) ¶ But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/john/12/11) Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/john/12/12) ¶ On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
 
 [13 ](/kjv/john/12/13) 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 ](/kjv/john/12/14) And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
 
 [15 ](/kjv/john/12/15) Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/john/12/16) 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 ](/kjv/john/12/17) The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/john/12/18) For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/john/12/19) The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/john/12/20) ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
 
 [21 ](/kjv/john/12/21) The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/john/12/22) Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
