< John 12 >

1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
But Jeshu six days before the petscha came to Bethania, where Loozar was, he whom Jeshu had raised from among the dead.
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.
And they made him there a supper and Martha served, and Loozar was one of those who reclined 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.
But Mariam took a vase of balsam of the finest nard, great in price, and anointed the feet of Jeshu, and wiped with her hair his feet, and the house was filled with the fragrance of the balsam.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
And Jihuda Scarjuta, one of his disciples, he who would betray him said,
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred dinoreen, 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.
But this he said, not because for the poor he had care, but because he was a thief, and the purse was with him, and whatever fell into it he carried.
7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
But Jeshu said, Let her alone. For the day of my burial had she kept it.
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
In all time the poor you have with you; but me you have not at all time.
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.
And a great company of Jihudoyee who were there heard Jeshu. And they had come not on Jeshu's account only, but also to see Loozar, he whom he had raised from among the dead.
10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
But the chief priests were minded to slay Loozar also,
11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
because many of the Jihudoyee on account of him had gone and believed in Jeshu.
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,
THE day after, a great gathering of those who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jeshu was coming to Urishlem,
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!”
took branches of palms, and went forth to meet him. And they cried out, saying, Aushana! Blessed is he who 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 Jeshu caused to be found an ass, and sat upon him; as it is written,
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
Fear not, daughter of Tseun: behold, thy King cometh to thee, and riding on a colt, the foal of an ass.
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 these the disciples knew not at that time; but when Jeshu was glorified, the disciples remembered that these were written concerning him, and (that) these (things) they had done unto 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.
But the assembly that was with him when he called Loozar from the sepulchre, and raised him from among the dead, bare witness.
18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
And on account of this, great multitudes went forth to receive him; for they had heard that this sign he had done.
19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
But the Pharishee said one to another, See you that you do not profit any thing! For, behold, the whole world is gone after him.
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
Now there were also from the Gentiles men who had ascended to 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.”
These came and drew near to Philipos, who was of Beth-tsaida of Galila; and they requested of him, and said to him, Mari, we desire to see Jeshu.
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
And Philipos came and told Andreas, and Andreas and Philipos told Jeshu.
23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, The hour hath 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.
Amen, amen, I say to you, That a grain of wheat if it fall not and die in the earth remaineth alone; but if it die, it bringeth much fruits.
25 Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
He who loveth his life shall lose it; and he who hateth his life in this world shall keep it to the life which is eternal. (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 man serve me, let him come after me; and where I am, there shall be also my servant: whoever serveth me, him will my Father honour.
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, behold it is commoved; and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour:
28 Father, glorify your name!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
but on account of this have I come unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. And the voice was heard from heaven, I have glorified, and again I glorify.
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.”
And the company who stood, heard, and they said there was thunder. But others said, An angel spake with him.
30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Not on my account was this voice, but on your account.
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 is the ruler of this world cast out.
32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
And I, when I have been lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
But this he said to show by what death he should 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)
The people said to him, We have heard from the law that the Meshicha for ever abideth: how sayest thou that the Son of man is 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.
Jeshu saith to them, A little further time is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And whoever walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
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, that the sons of light you may become. These spake Jeshu, and went (and) concealed himself from them.
37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
Yet though all these signs he had done before them, they believed not in 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?”
that the word of the prophet Eshaia might be fulfilled, who said, My Lord, who hath believed our report, And the arm of the Lord, to whom hath it been revealed?
39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
Because of this they were not able to believe: Wherefore again Eshaia had 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 darkened their heart, That they should not see with their eyes, And understand with their heart, And be turned, and I should heal them.
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
These said Eshaia when he saw his glory, and spake 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.
Yet of the chiefs also many believed in him: but because of the Pharishee they did not confess, that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of Aloha.
44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
But Jeshu cried and said, He who believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
And he who seeth me seeth him who 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 the light am come into the world, that every one who believeth in me might 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 he who heareth my words, and doth not keep them, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to 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 who rejecteth me, and receiveth not my word, hath that which judgeth him: the word which I speak, that judgeth 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.
For I of myself have not spoken, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore, the things that I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so also do I speak.” (aiōnios g166)
And I know that his commandments are life everlasting: these therefore which I speak, as said to me my Father, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
