Part 12 is the entire chapter of John 12. Here in part 12 we see Mary anoint the feet of Jesus with oil and then wipe them clean with her hair in verses 1-8.
In the next scene we witness Jesus' Triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. When the people heard He was coming they met him with palm branches crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel." - verse 13. It is this passage of Scripture where we get out observance of Palm Sunday.
Later, Jesus tells Andrew and Philip, "Whoever loves his life will lose it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." - verse 25. Jesus it telling them that we must not hold onto, and be consumed by the temporal things of life in this world because they only lead to eternal death. Instead we must focus on following and serving Christ that we might share in His glory and obtain eternal life by His work.
Part 12 then concludes with Jesus telling the Jews that He came into the world as light and not to judge the world but to save it. - verses 44-50
God bless

Being once dead in sin, now raised by God's mere mercy, to newness of life.
