< John 12 >

1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
Ὁ οὖν ˚Ἰησοῦς πρὸ ἓξ ἡμερῶν τοῦ Πάσχα, ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθανίαν, ὅπου ἦν Λάζαρος, ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν ˚Ἰησοῦς.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
Ἐποίησαν οὖν αὐτῷ δεῖπνον ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἡ Μάρθα διηκόνει, ὁ δὲ Λάζαρος εἷς ἦν ἐκ τῶν ἀνακειμένων σὺν αὐτῷ.
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Ἡ οὖν Μαρία λαβοῦσα λίτραν μύρου νάρδου πιστικῆς πολυτίμου, ἤλειψεν τοὺς πόδας τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐξέμαξεν ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ· ἡ δὲ οἰκία ἐπληρώθη ἐκ τῆς ὀσμῆς τοῦ μύρου.
4 Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
Λέγει δὲ Ἰούδας ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης, εἷς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ὁ μέλλων αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
“Διὰ τί τοῦτο τὸ μύρον οὐκ ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων, καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς;”
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
Εἶπεν δὲ τοῦτο, οὐχ ὅτι περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἔμελεν αὐτῷ, ἀλλʼ ὅτι κλέπτης ἦν, καὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον ἔχων τὰ βαλλόμενα ἐβάσταζεν.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying has she kept this.
Εἶπεν οὖν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἄφες αὐτήν, ἵνα εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνταφιασμοῦ μου, τηρήσῃ αὐτό.
8 For the poor always all of you have with you; but me all of you have not always.
Τοὺς πτωχοὺς γὰρ πάντοτε ἔχετε μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε.”
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Ἔγνω οὖν ὁ ὄχλος πολὺς ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐστιν, καὶ ἦλθον, οὐ διὰ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν μόνον, ἀλλʼ ἵνα καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον ἴδωσιν, ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
Ἐβουλεύσαντο δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἵνα καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον ἀποκτείνωσιν,
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
ὅτι πολλοὶ διʼ αὐτὸν ὑπῆγον τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἐπίστευον εἰς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν.
12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Τῇ ἐπαύριον ὁ ὄχλος πολὺς, ὁ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἔρχεται ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα,
13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.
ἔλαβον τὰ βαΐα τῶν φοινίκων καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐκραύγαζον, “‘Ὡσαννά! Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι ˚Κυρίου’, καὶ ὁ Βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ!”
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Εὑρὼν δὲ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὀνάριον, ἐκάθισεν ἐπʼ αὐτό, καθώς ἐστιν γεγραμμένον,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt.
“Μὴ φοβοῦ, θυγάτηρ Σιών· ἰδοὺ, ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεται, καθήμενος ἐπὶ πῶλον ὄνου.”
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
Ταῦτα οὐκ ἔγνωσαν αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ τὸ πρῶτον, ἀλλʼ ὅτε ἐδοξάσθη ˚Ἰησοῦς, τότε ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ταῦτα ἦν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ γεγραμμένα, καὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
Ἐμαρτύρει οὖν ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ὢν μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅτε τὸν Λάζαρον ἐφώνησεν ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου, καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
Διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος, ὅτι ἤκουσαν τοῦτο αὐτὸν πεποιηκέναι τὸ σημεῖον.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive all of you how all of you prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
Οἱ οὖν Φαρισαῖοι εἶπαν πρὸς ἑαυτούς, “Θεωρεῖτε ὅτι οὐκ ὠφελεῖτε οὐδέν· ἴδε, ὁ κόσμος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν.”
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
Ἦσαν δὲ Ἕλληνές τινες ἐκ τῶν ἀναβαινόντων, ἵνα προσκυνήσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ·
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
οὗτοι οὖν προσῆλθον Φιλίππῳ, τῷ ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Κύριε, θέλομεν τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ἰδεῖν.”
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Ἔρχεται ὁ Φίλιππος καὶ λέγει τῷ Ἀνδρέᾳ, ἔρχεται Ἀνδρέας καὶ Φίλιππος καὶ λέγουσιν τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα, ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.
Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου πεσὼν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἀποθάνῃ, αὐτὸς μόνος μένει· ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ, πολὺν καρπὸν φέρει.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Ὁ φιλῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, ἀπολλύει αὐτήν, καὶ ὁ μισῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ, εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον φυλάξει αὐτήν. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Ἐὰν ἐμοί τις διακονῇ, ἐμοὶ ἀκολουθείτω, καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, ἐκεῖ καὶ ὁ διάκονος ὁ ἐμὸς ἔσται. Ἐάν τις ἐμοὶ διακονῇ, τιμήσει αὐτὸν ὁ Πατήρ.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
Νῦν ἡ ψυχή μου τετάρακται, καὶ τί εἴπω, ‘Πάτερ, σῶσόν με ἐκ τῆς ὥρας ταύτης’; Ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο, ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ὥραν ταύτην.
28 Father, glorify your name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Πάτερ, δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα.” Ἦλθεν οὖν φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ: “Καὶ ἐδόξασα, καὶ πάλιν δοξάσω.”
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spoke to him.
Ὁ οὖν ὄχλος ὁ ἑστὼς καὶ ἀκούσας, ἔλεγεν βροντὴν γεγονέναι. Ἄλλοι ἔλεγον, “Ἄγγελος αὐτῷ λελάληκεν.”
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
Ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπεν, ˚Ἰησοῦς “Οὐ διʼ ἐμὲ, ἡ φωνὴ αὕτη γέγονεν, ἀλλὰ διʼ ὑμᾶς.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Νῦν κρίσις ἐστὶν τοῦ κόσμου τούτου, νῦν ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἐκβληθήσεται ἔξω.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Κἀγὼ ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς, πάντας ἑλκύσω πρὸς ἐμαυτόν.”
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
Τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγεν, σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ ἤμελλεν ἀποθνῄσκειν.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abides for ever: and how say you, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος, “Ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὅτι ὁ ˚Χριστὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ πῶς λέγεις σὺ ὅτι δεῖ ὑψωθῆναι τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου; Τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου;” (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while all of you have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes.
Εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἔτι μικρὸν χρόνον, τὸ φῶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν. Περιπατεῖτε ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε, ἵνα μὴ σκοτία ὑμᾶς καταλάβῃ, καὶ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει.
36 While all of you have light, believe in the light, that all of you may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε, πιστεύετε εἰς τὸ φῶς, ἵνα υἱοὶ φωτὸς γένησθε.” Ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἀπελθὼν, ἐκρύβη ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
Τοσαῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ σημεῖα πεποιηκότος ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, οὐκ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν,
38 That the saying (logos) of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
ἵνα ὁ λόγος Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου πληρωθῇ ὃν εἶπεν, “˚Κύριε, τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν; Καὶ ὁ βραχίων ˚Κυρίου τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη;”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
Διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιστεύειν, ὅτι πάλιν εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας,
40 He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
“Τετύφλωκεν αὐτῶν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ ἐπήρωσεν αὐτῶν τὴν καρδίαν, ἵνα μὴ ἴδωσιν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ νοήσωσιν τῇ καρδίᾳ, καὶ στραφῶσιν καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς.”
41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Ταῦτα εἶπεν Ἠσαΐας, ὅτι εἶδεν τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησεν περὶ αὐτοῦ.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Ὅμως μέντοι καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ διὰ τοὺς Φαρισαίους οὐχ ὡμολόγουν, ἵνα μὴ ἀποσυνάγωγοι γένωνται.
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Ἠγάπησαν γὰρ τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me.
˚Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἔκραξεν καὶ εἶπεν, “Ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ, οὐ πιστεύει εἰς ἐμὲ, ἀλλὰ εἰς τὸν πέμψαντά με,
45 And he that sees me sees him that sent me.
καὶ ὁ θεωρῶν ἐμὲ, θεωρεῖ τὸν πέμψαντά με.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.
Ἐγὼ φῶς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐλήλυθα, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ, ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ μὴ μείνῃ.
47 And if any man hear my words, (rhema) and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Καὶ ἐάν τίς μου ἀκούσῃ τῶν ῥημάτων, καὶ μὴ φυλάξῃ, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω αὐτόν, οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον, ἵνα κρίνω τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλʼ ἵνα σώσω τὸν κόσμον.
48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, (rhema) has one that judges him: the word (logos) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Ὁ ἀθετῶν ἐμὲ καὶ μὴ λαμβάνων τὰ ῥήματά μου, ἔχει τὸν κρίνοντα αὐτόν· ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησα, ἐκεῖνος κρινεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐξ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλάλησα, ἀλλʼ ὁ πέμψας με Πατὴρ αὐτός μοι ἐντολὴν δέδωκεν– τί εἴπω, καὶ τί λαλήσω.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
Καὶ οἶδα ὅτι ἡ ἐντολὴ αὐτοῦ ζωὴ αἰώνιός ἐστιν. Ἃ οὖν ἐγὼ λαλῶ, καθὼς εἴρηκέν μοι ὁ Πατήρ, οὕτως λαλῶ.” (aiōnios g166)
