John 12

Mary anoints Jesus’ feet at Bethany while Judas objects. Jesus enters Jerusalem to palm-branch acclaim, fulfilling the prophecy of Zion’s King. Greeks ask to see Him, and Jesus announces that His hour has come: like a grain of wheat, He must die to bring forth much fruit. A heavenly voice confirms the Father’s glory, yet widespread signs still meet unbelief, fulfilling Isaiah’s words.
