John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
Then Jesus, six days before the passover came into Bethany, where Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead, was,
2 And they made a dinner for him there. And Martha was ministering. And truly, Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at table with him.
Then they made a supper for Him there: and Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those sitting at the table with Him.
3 And then Mary took twelve ounces of pure spikenard ointment, very precious, and she anointed the feet of Jesus, and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Then Mary taking a pound of myrrh of spikenard, estimated very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the myrrh.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
Then Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one about to betray Him, says:
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
Why was not this myrrh sold for three hundred denaria, and given to the poor?
6 Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry what was put into it.
And He spoke this, not because there was a care to him for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and was carrying those things cast in.
7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
Then Jesus said, Let her alone; she hath reserved this unto the day of my burial;
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
for you have the poor always with you; but you have not me always.
9 Now a great multitude of the Jews knew that he was in that place, and so they came, not so much because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
then a great multitude of the Jews came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead; because he was there.
10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
But the chief priest passed an edict that they would also slay Lazarus;
11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
because through him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
On the following day a great multitude having come to the feast, hearing that Jesus comes into Jerusalem,
13 took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!”
They took the branches of the palm-trees, and went out to meet Him, and continued to cry out, Hosanna: blessed is He that cometh, in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.
14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat upon him, as has been written,
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting upon the colt of a donkey.
16 At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened to him.
But His disciples at first did not understand these things: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written in reference to Him, and they did them to Him.
17 And so the crowd that had been with him, when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, offered testimony.
Then the multitude being with Him witnessed that He called Lazarus out of the sepulcher, and raised him from the dead.
18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
Therefore the multitude also went to meet Him, because they heard that He had wrought this miracle.
19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
Then the Pharisees said to one another, You see, that you are prevailing as to nothing: behold, the world has gone away after Him.
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
And there was certain Greeks of those having come up that they might worship at the feast:
21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Philip comes and tells Andrew: Andrew and Philip go, and speak to Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
And Jesus responds to them, saying, The hour has come, that the Son of man may be glorified.
24 Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it yields much fruit.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, Unless the grain of wheat having fallen into the ground may die, it remains alone; but if it may die, it produces much fruit.
25 Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
The one loving his soul shall lose it; but the one that hateth his soul in this world will preserve it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. And where I am, there too my minister shall be. If anyone has served me, my Father will honor him.
If any one may minister unto me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my minister be: if any one may minister unto me, the Father will honor him.
27 Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this reason that I came to this hour.
Now my soul is troubled; and what do I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on this account I came to this hour.
28 Father, glorify your name!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Father, glorify thy name. Then a voice came from heaven, I have indeed glorified thee, and will glorify thee again.
29 Therefore, the crowd, which was standing near and had heard it, said that it was like thunder. Others were saying, “An Angel was speaking with him.”
Then the multitudes standing, hearing, said, That it was thunder; others said, An angel has spoken to Him.
30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesus responded and said, This voice was not on account of me, but on account of you.
31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
Now is the judgment of this world: now the prince of this world shall be cast out.
32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
And if I may be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men towards me.
33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
And He spoke this, signifying by what death He was about to die.
34 The crowd answered him: “We have heard, from the law, that the Christ remains forever. And so how can you say, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of man?” (aiōn g165)
Then the multitude responded to Him; We have heard from the law that Christ abideth forever; and how do You say, That it behooveth the Son of man to be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. But whoever walks in darkness does not know where is he going.
Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk about as you have the light, in order that the darkness may not overtake you: and he that walketh about in darkness does not know where he is going.
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may be sons of the Light.” Jesus spoke these things, and then he went away and hid himself from them.
While you have the light, believe in the light, in order that you may be the sons of light. And Jesus spoke these things, and having gone out was hidden from them.
37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
And He having done so many miracles in their presence, they were not believing on Him,
38 so that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which says: “Lord, who has believed in our hearing? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
Wherefore were they not able to believe, because Isaiah again said,
40 “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted: and then I would heal them.”
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; in order that they may not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and turn, and I shall heal them.
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
Isaiah said these things, because he saw His glory; and spoke concerning Him.
42 Yet truly, many of the leaders also believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, so that they would not be cast out of the synagogue.
Nevertheless indeed many of the rulers also believed on Him; but they were not confessing Him on account of the Pharisees, in order that they might not be put out of the synagogues:
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
for they loved the glory of the people more than the glory of God.
44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
But Jesus cried out and said; The one believing on me, believes not on me, but on Him that sent me,
45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
and the one seeing me, sees the one that sent me.
46 I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
I have come a light into the world, in order that every one believing on me may not abide in darkness.
47 And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
And if any one may hear my words, and not keep them, I do not judge him: for I came not that I may judge the world, but that I may save the world.
48 Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
He that rejects me, and receiving not my words, has one judging him: the word which I have spoken, it will judge him in the last day.
49 For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak.
Because I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father Himself having sent me, gave me commandment, what I shall speak, and what I shall say.
