This biblical text from the Gospel of John, chapter 12, recounts several key events in the final days of Jesus' earthly ministry. It describes Jesus' anointing at Bethany by Mary, an act of devotion and foreshadowing of his death. The passage then details Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where he was hailed as king. Furthermore, it includes Jesus' predictions about his impending death and glorification, as well as the mixed reactions of belief and unbelief among the Jewish people despite his miracles. Finally, Jesus speaks about his divine purpose as a light come into the world and the consequences of rejecting his message.
