John 12
1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.
THEN Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 So they made for him a supper, there; and, Martha, was ministering, but, Lazarus, was one of them who were reclining with him.
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Mary, therefore, taking a pound of pure nard perfume, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped, with her hair, his feet; and, the house, was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
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.
4 [But] Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he that was about to deliver him up, saith—
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
5 Why was, this perfume, not sold for three hundred denaries, and given unto the destitute?
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 Howbeit he said this, not that, for the destitute, he cared, but because, a thief, he was, and holding, the bag, used to carry away, what was cast therein.
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.
7 Jesus, therefore, said—Let her alone, that, for the day of my burial, she may observe it;
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 For, the destitute, always, have ye with you, whereas, me, not always, have ye.
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9 The great multitude of the Jews, therefore, got to know that he was, there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but that, Lazarus also, they might see, whom he had raised from among the dead.
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.
10 But the High-priests took counsel, that Lazarus also, they might put to death;
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 because, many of the Jews, by reason of him, were withdrawing, and believing on Jesus.
Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 On the morrow, the great multitude that had come unto the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem,
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, —even the King of Israel!
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, finding a young ass, took his seat thereon, just as it is written—
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Do not fear, O daughter of Zion! Lo! thy king, cometh, sitting upon the colt of an ass.
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 These things, his disciples noticed not, at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then, remembered they that, these things, had, for him, been written, —and that, these things, they had done unto him.
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.
17 The multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called, Lazarus, out of the tomb, and raised him from among the dead, was bearing witness.
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 On this account, the multitude met him also, because they heard that he had done, this sign.
For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves—Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 Now there were certain Greeks, from among them who were coming up that they might worship in the feast.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 These, therefore, came unto Philip, him who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, —and were requesting him, saying—Sir! We desire to see, Jesus.
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew: Andrew and Philip come, and tell Jesus.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 But, Jesus, answereth them, saying—The hour hath come, that the Son of Man should be glorified!
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily! Verily, I say unto you: Except, the kernel of wheat, shall fall into the ground, and die, it, alone, abideth; but, if it die, much fruit, it beareth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life, loseth it; but, he that hateth his life, in this world, unto life age-abiding, shall guard it. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 If, with me, anyone be ministering, with me, let him be following; and, where, I, am, there, my minister also, shall be. If anyone, with me, be ministering, the Father, will honour him.
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.
27 Now, is my soul troubled, —and what can I say? Father! save me from this hour? But, on this account, came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name!
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.
28 There came, therefore, a voice out of heaven—I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 [So], the multitude that was standing by, and heard it, were saying—It hath, thundered. Others, were saying—A messenger, unto him, hath spoken.
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered, and said—Not for my sake, hath this voice come, but, for your sake.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Now, is there, a judging, of this world, —Now, the ruler of this world, shall be cast out;
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And, I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw, all, unto myself.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 But, this, he was saying, signifying, by what manner of death, he was about to die.
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The multitude, therefore, answered him—We, have heard, out of the law, that, the Christ, abideth evermore; How then dost, thou, say, —It behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man? (aiōn g165)
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus, therefore, said unto them—Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus, —and, departing, was hid from them.
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him: —
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said—Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed?
That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah—
Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn, —and I should heal them.
He hath 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.
41 These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;
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:
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 And, Jesus, cried aloud, and said—He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me;
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And, he that vieweth me, vieweth him that sent me.
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And, if anyone shall hearken unto my sayings, and not guard them, I, am not judging him; for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that setteth me aside, and receiveth not my sayings, hath that which is to judge him: The word that I spake, that, will judge him, in the last day.
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 Because, I, out of myself, spake not, but, the Father who sent me, hath, himself, given me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
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.
50 And I know that, his commandment, is, life age-abiding; The things, therefore, which I speak, just as the Father hath told me, so, I speak. (aiōnios g166)
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)
