The Gospel according to
St. John
12

Jesus Anointed at Bethany
Mt. 26.6-13 · Mk. 14.3-9
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.

The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
Mt. 21.1-11 · Mk. 11.1-11 · Lk. 19.28-40
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: Ps. 118.25--0.1
Blessed is the King of Israel
that cometh in the name of the Lord. Ps. 118.26

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
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.
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: Ps. 110.4 · Is. 9.7 · Ezek. 37.25 · Dan. 7.14 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.

The White-robed Multitude
9 ¶ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 and cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 saying,
Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 ¶ And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, Dan. 12.1 · Mt. 24.21 · Mk. 13.19 and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

The Heavenly Worship
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Ezek. 1.26-28 ; 10.1
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: Ex. 19.16 · Rev. 8.5 ; 11.19 ; 16.18 and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, Ezek. 1.13 which are the seven Spirits of God. Rev. 1.4
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal. Ezek. 1.22
¶ And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. Ezek. 1.5-10 ; 10.14
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: Ezek. 1.18 ; 10.12 and they rest not day and night, saying,

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Is. 6.2, 3
which was, and is, and is to come. Ex. 3.14

Dürer's The Adoration of the Lamb and the Hymn of the Chosen depicts one element of the ecstatic vision experienced by St John.

Mrs Charles W Heaton (The History of the Life of Albrecht Durer of Nurnberg with a Translation of His Letters and
Journal and Some Accounts of His Work: Seeley, Jackson and Halliday, London; 1881), in an early comprehensive
biographical work, provides the following description of this wonderful illustration:

The elect with palm branches in their hands, and clothed in white robes, behold the
Lamb standing on a rainbow in a glory. The glorified host of saints, with the palm
branches, reminds one somewhat of Fra Angelico's similar representations, but Dürer's
saints have much more individuality of character, much more muscle, if I may call it
so, than Angelico's lovely and holy, but impersonal forms. 

St John on the earth, which is separated from heaven by a veil of fleecy clouds,beholds this vision as he kneels on a high promontory stretching out into the sea.
