< John 12 >

1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, the man who had died and whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
ⲁ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
2 They prepared a supper for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of the people reclining at the table with him.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲣⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ. ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏϫ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ.
3 Then Mary took a pound of expensive ointment made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
ⲅ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲁⲥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲓⲧⲣⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲇⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲕⲏ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲉⲥⲟⲩⲛⲧⲥ̅ ⲁⲥⲧⲱϩⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϥⲱⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϥⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲁⲡⲉ. ⲁⲡⲏⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲙⲡ̅ⲥⲟϭⲛ̅.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was about to betray him, said,
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲥ ⲡⲓⲥⲕⲁⲣⲓⲱⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϯⲡⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲥⲟϭⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁϣⲙⲛⲧ̅ϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ.
6 (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was the keeper of the moneybag and would pilfer what was put into it.)
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ. ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲅⲗⲱⲥⲥⲟⲕⲟⲙⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲉϥϩⲱϥⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
7 So Jesus said, “Leave her alone; she has kept this ointment for the day of my burial.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲁⲉⲓⲥⲉ.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.”
ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ.
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of the Jews found out that Jesus was there, so they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ϥⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
10 So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.

12 On the next day, when a large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡϣⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ
13 they took palm branches and went out to meet him. They were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲃⲁ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲃⲛ̅ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲱⲥⲁⲛⲛⲁ. ϥⲥⲙⲁⲙⲁⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ.
14 Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, just as it is written,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲱ ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ.
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, yoʋr king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲟⲩⲣ̅ⲣⲟ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲏϭ ⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲱ.
16 (His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things had been done to him.)
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲥⲏϩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ.
17 Now the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲉϥⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
18 That is why a crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had done this sign.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲛ.
19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are achieving nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϯϩⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲗ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲉⲓⲥⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.

21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲃⲏⲇⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲇⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
22 Philip went and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23 Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

26 If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.”

34 The crowd responded to him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, so how can yoʋ say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)

35 Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness will not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you will become sons of light.” After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.

37 Although he had done so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him.

38 This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲏⲥⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲥ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲛϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϭⲃⲟⲉ͡ⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϭⲱⲗⲡ ⲉⲛⲓⲙ.
39 For this reason they could not believe, for again Isaiah said,

40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.”

41 Isaiah said these things when he saw the Lord's glory and spoke about him.

42 Nevertheless, many even among the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not declare it openly, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲟⲙⲟⲓⲱⲥ ⲙⲉⲛⲧⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ.
43 For they loved the glory that comes from men more than the glory that comes from God.

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.

47 If anyone hears my words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
