< John 12 >
1 But Jeshu six days before the petscha came to Bethania, where Loozar was, he whom Jeshu had raised from among the dead.
2 And they made him there a supper and Martha served, and Loozar was one of those who reclined with him.
3 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 And Jihuda Scarjuta, one of his disciples, he who would betray him said,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred dinoreen, and given to the poor?
6 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 But Jeshu said, Let her alone. For the day of my burial had she kept it.
8 In all time the poor you have with you; but me you have not at all time.
9 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 But the chief priests were minded to slay Loozar also,
11 because many of the Jihudoyee on account of him had gone and believed in Jeshu.
12 THE day after, a great gathering of those who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jeshu was coming to Urishlem,
13 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 And Jeshu caused to be found an ass, and sat upon him; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Tseun: behold, thy King cometh to thee, and riding on a colt, the foal of an ass.
16 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 But the assembly that was with him when he called Loozar from the sepulchre, and raised him from among the dead, bare witness.
18 And on account of this, great multitudes went forth to receive him; for they had heard that this sign he had done.
19 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 also from the Gentiles men who had ascended to worship at the feast.
21 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 And Philipos came and told Andreas, and Andreas and Philipos told Jeshu.
23 BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, The hour hath come that the Son of man may be glorified.
24 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 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 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, behold it is commoved; and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour:
28 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 And the company who stood, heard, and they said there was thunder. But others said, An angel spake with him.
30 Jeshu answered and said to them, Not on my account was this voice, but on your account.
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now is the ruler of this world cast out.
32 And I, when I have been lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 But this he said to show by what death he should die.
34 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 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, that the sons of light you may become. These spake Jeshu, and went (and) concealed himself from them.
37 Yet though all these signs he had done before them, they believed not in him:
38 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 Because of this they were not able to believe: Wherefore again Eshaia had said,
40 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 These said Eshaia when he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
42 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 the glory of men more than the glory of Aloha.
44 But Jeshu cried and said, He who believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 And he who seeth me seeth him who sent me.
46 I the light am come into the world, that every one who believeth in me might not abide in darkness.
47 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 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 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 commandments are life everlasting: these therefore which I speak, as said to me my Father, so I speak. (aiōnios )
