< John 12 >
1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
But Jeshu six days before the petscha came to Bethania, where Loozar was, he whom Jeshu had raised from among the dead.
2 So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
And they made him there a supper and Martha served, and Loozar was one of those who reclined with him.
3 Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
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 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
And Jihuda Scarjuta, one of his disciples, he who would betray him said,
5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred dinoreen, and given to the poor?
6 Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from 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 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
But Jeshu said, Let her alone. For the day of my burial had she kept it.
8 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
In all time the poor you have with you; but me you have not at all time.
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to 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 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
But the chief priests were minded to slay Loozar also,
11 for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
because many of the Jihudoyee on account of him had gone and believed in Jeshu.
12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast 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 They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is 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 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, 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, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated 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 understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about 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 Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
But the assembly that was with him when he called Loozar from the sepulchre, and raised him from among the dead, bare witness.
18 That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed 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 Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole 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 some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
Now there were also from the Gentiles men who had ascended to worship at the feast.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “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 relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
And Philipos came and told Andreas, and Andreas and Philipos told Jeshu.
23 But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, The hour hath come that the Son of man may be glorified.
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears 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, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios )
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 )
26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the 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 shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come 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!” 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 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
And the company who stood, heard, and they said there was thunder. But others said, An angel spake with him.
30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Not on my account was this voice, but on your account.
31 Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Now is the judgment of this world; now is the ruler of this world cast out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
And I, when I have been lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
But this he said to show by what death he should die.
34 The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn )
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 )
35 Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is 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 become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden 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 Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
Yet though all these signs he had done before them, they believed not in him:
38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? 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 For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
Because of this they were not able to believe: Wherefore again Eshaia had said,
40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and 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 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
These said Eshaia when he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put 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 praise from men more than praise from God.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of Aloha.
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One 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 the One who sent Me.
And he who seeth me seeth him who sent me.
46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
I the light am come into the world, that every one who believeth in me might not abide in darkness.
47 As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to 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 There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will 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 I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
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 command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.” (aiōnios )
And I know that his commandments are life everlasting: these therefore which I speak, as said to me my Father, so I speak. (aiōnios )
