John Chapter 12 highlights the growing tension around Jesus’ ministry, with increasing opposition from religious leaders and a prophecy of his death. It contains moments of devotion (Mary anointing Jesus), public acclaim (the Triumphal Entry), and teaching about the purpose of his death. It also emphasizes the theme of light and darkness, belief and unbelief, and the cost of following Jesus.
