Yochanan 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Yeshua came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Yeshua raised from the dead.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.
2 So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him.
So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.
3 Miriam, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Yeshua, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.
4 Then Judah the Iskriot, one of his talmidim, who would betray him, said,
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said,
5 "Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)
7 But Yeshua said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.
9 A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Yeshua's sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.
10 But the chief cohanim plotted to kill Lazarus also,
Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;
11 because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Yeshua.
For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.
12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Yeshua was coming to Jerusalem,
The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."
Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
14 And Yeshua, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say,
15 "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass.
16 His talmidim did not understand these things at first, but when Yeshua was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)
17 The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.
18 For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:
21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Beit Tzaidah of Galil, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Yeshua."
They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Yeshua.
Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.
23 And Yeshua answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.
25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever. (aiōnios g166)
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.
27 "Now my soul is troubled; and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.
Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.
28 Father, glorify your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.
29 The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him.
30 Yeshua answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
(This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Yeshua therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Yeshua said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him:
38 that the word 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?"
So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?
39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again,
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.
41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
(Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.)
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue:
43 for they loved praise from people more than praise from God.
For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.
44 Then Yeshua shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
And he who sees me, sees him who sent me.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.
47 And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.
48 He who rejects me, and does not accept my words, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him on the last day.
He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.
