John 12
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was (the deceased whom He raised from the dead).
Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
2 So they gave a dinner for Him there—Martha was serving, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
3 Then Mary, bringing a pound of pure oil of nard, very costly, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped His feet with her hair! And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son (who was about to betray Him), said,
One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
5 “Why wasn't this oil sold for 300 denarii and given to the poor?”
Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
6 (Now he did not say this because the poor mattered to him, but because he was a thief and had the money box; and used to pilfer what was put in it.)
But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
7 So Jesus said: “Let her be; she has performed this with a view to my burial.
Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
9 Then a large crowd of the Jews learned that He was there; and they came, not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
10 So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus as well,
But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
11 in that because of him many of the Jews were defecting and believing into Jesus.
because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
12 The next day a large crowd that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
13 took branches from palm trees and went out to meet Him. And they started shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “King of Israel!”
took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
14 And finding a young donkey Jesus sat on it; just as it is written:
And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
15 “Fear no more, daughter of Zion. Look, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!”
Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 (Now His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him, and they had done them to Him.)
[Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 So the crowd that had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.
The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
18 That is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
19 So the Pharisees said among themselves: “You can see that you are not making any difference! Just look, the world has gone off after Him!”
The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;
21 So these men approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.
22 Philip goes and tells Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them saying: “The hour has come for the Son of the Man to be glorified.
But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Most assuredly I say to you, if a grain of wheat, having fallen into the ground, does not die, it remains alone; but if it dies it bears a lot of fruit.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
25 The one ‘loving’ his life will waste it, and the one ‘hating’ his life, in this world, will preserve it into eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, my servant will be too. Further, if anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
27 “Now my soul is distressed, and what should I say—‘Father, rescue me from this hour’? But this is why I came to this hour—
Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
28 ‘Father, glorify your name!’” Then a Voice came out of Heaven, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again!”
Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
29 So the crowd that was standing by and listening said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
30 Jesus answered and said: “It was not for my sake that this Voice came, but for your sakes.
Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be thrown out.
Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
32 While I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.”
and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
33 (Now He said this to indicate by what kind of death He was about to die.)
But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
34 The people answered Him: “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah remains forever; and so how can you say, ‘The Son of the Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘the Son of the Man’?” (aiōn g165)
The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said to them: “The Light will be with you just a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you; the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
36 While you have the Light, believe into the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said these things, and going away He was hidden from them.
While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.
37 Although He had performed so many signs in their presence, they were not believing into Him;
But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,
38 so that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what we heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord really been revealed?”
that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Therefore they were unable to believe, in that Isaiah said again:
On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and should turn around, and I would heal them.”
He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory and spoke concerning Him.
These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
42 Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed into Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be expelled from the synagogue;
Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
44 Jesus called out and said: “The one believing into me believes not into me but into Him who sent me.
But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
45 And the one seeing me sees Him who sent me.
and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
46 I, Light, have come into the world so that everyone who believes into me will not remain in the darkness.
I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
47 Also, if someone hears my words and does not believe, I do not judge him; because I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.
and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken, that is what will judge him on the last day;
He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
49 because I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me, He gave me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
