John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
Jesus however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom He raised from 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.
Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down 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.
And Mary taking a pound of ointment of spikenard of great value, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him,
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 pence 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.
He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.
7 But Jesus said: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not 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.
And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
Wherefore the chief priests took counsel to put Lazarus also to death.
11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, 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,
The next day a great multitude that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,
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!”
and went out to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed be the king of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
And Jesus having gotten a young ass sat thereon,
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
as it is written, "Fear not, O daughter of Sion, behold thy king cometh sitting on an ass's colt."
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.
Now his disciples did not understand these things at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning Him, and that they had done thus 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.
And the people that were with Him testified, that He called Lazarus out of the grave, 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.
and for this reason the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had done 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.”
The pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye not see that ye prevail nothing? Behold, all the 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.
And among those that came up to worship at the feast there were certain Greeks:
21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned him, saying: “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Philip went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
And Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to 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.
Though I tell you indeed and in truth, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth 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)
So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto life 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 would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: and if any one serve 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 is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I 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 came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it 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.”
The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake to Him.
30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.
31 Now is the judgment of the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto me.
33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
This He said, signifying 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 answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, the Son of man must 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 unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the dark 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 ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and then went away, and concealed himself from them.
37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
But though He had done so many miracles before their eyes, yet they did not believe 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?”
so that the word of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also 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, that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
These things said Esaias 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.
There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated.
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
And Jesus raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me:
45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth Him 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 am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on 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 if any one hear my words and believe not, I do not condemn him: for I am not now come to condemn 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 that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word, that I have spoken, will condemn him at 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 have not spoken of myself; but the Father, who sent me, 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 commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, I so speak, as the Father hath directed me. (aiōnios g166)
