John 12
1 Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
Jezus dan kwam zes dagen voor het pascha te Bethanie, daar Lazarus was, die gestorven was geweest, welken Hij opgewekt had uit de doden.
2 There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
Zij bereidden Hem dan aldaar een avondmaal, en Martha diende; en Lazarus was een van degenen, die met Hem aanzaten.
3 Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
Maria dan, genomen hebbende een pond zalf van onvervalsten, zeer kostelijken nardus, heeft de voeten van Jezus gezalfd, en met haar haren Zijn voeten afgedroogd; en het huis werd vervuld van den reuk der zalf.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
Zo zeide dan een van Zijn discipelen, namelijk Judas, Simons zoon, Iskariot, die Hem verraden zou:
5 He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
Waarom is deze zalf niet verkocht voor driehonderd penningen, en den armen gegeven?
6 He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
En dit zeide hij, niet omdat hij bezorgd was voor de armen, maar omdat hij een dief was, en de beurs had, en droeg hetgeen gegeven werd.
7 Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
Jezus dan zeide: Laat af van haar; zij heeft dit bewaard tegen den dag Mijner begrafenis.
8 There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
Want de armen hebt gijlieden altijd met u, maar Mij hebt gij niet altijd.
9 A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
Een grote schare dan der Joden verstond, dat Hij aldaar was; en zij kwamen, niet alleen om Jezus' wil, maar opdat zij ook Lazarus zouden zien, dien Hij uit de doden opgewekt had.
10 So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
En de overpriesters beraadslaagden, dat zij ook Lazarus doden zouden.
11 because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
Want velen van de Joden gingen heen om zijnentwil, en geloofden in Jezus.
12 The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Des anderen daags, een grote schare, die tot het feest gekomen was, horende, dat Jezus naar Jeruzalem kwam,
13 So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
Namen de takken van palmbomen, en gingen uit Hem tegemoet, en riepen: Hosanna! Gezegend is Hij, Die komt in den Naam des Heeren, Hij, Die is de Koning Israels!
14 When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
En Jezus vond een jongen ezel, en zat daarop, gelijk geschreven is:
15 You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
Vrees niet, gij dochter Sions, zie, uw Koning komt, zittende op het veulen ener ezelin.
16 At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
Doch dit verstonden Zijn discipelen in het eerst niet; maar als Jezus verheerlijkt was, toen werden zij indachtig, dat dit van Hem geschreven was, en dat zij Hem dit gedaan hadden.
17 The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
De schare dan, die met Hem was, getuigde dat Hij Lazarus uit het graf geroepen, en hem uit de doden opgewekt had.
18 Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
Daarom ging ook de schare Hem tegemoet, overmits zij gehoord had, dat Hij dat teken gedaan had.
19 So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
De Farizeen dan zeiden onder elkander: Ziet gij wel, dat gij gans niet vordert? Ziet, de gehele wereld gaat Hem na.
20 Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
En er waren sommige Grieken uit degenen, die opgekomen waren, opdat zij op het feest zouden aanbidden;
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
Dezen dan gingen tot Filippus, die van Bethsaida in Galilea was, en baden hem, zeggende: Heere, wij wilden Jezus wel zien.
22 So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
Filippus kwam en zeide het Andreas; en Andreas en Filippus wederom zeiden het Jezus.
23 Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
Maar Jezus antwoordde hun, zeggende: De ure is gekomen, dat de Zoon des mensen zal verheerlijkt worden.
24 Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
Voorwaar, voorwaar zeg Ik u: Indien het tarwegraan in de aarde niet valt, en sterft, zo blijft hetzelve alleen; maar indien het sterft, zo brengt het veel vrucht voort.
25 Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Die zijn leven liefheeft, zal hetzelve verliezen; en die zijn leven haat in deze wereld, zal hetzelve bewaren tot het eeuwige leven. (aiōnios g166)
26 If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
Zo iemand Mij dient, die volge Mij; en waar Ik ben, aldaar zal ook Mijn dienaar zijn. En zo iemand Mij dient, de Vader zal hem eren.
27 Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
Nu is Mijn ziel ontroerd; en wat zal Ik zeggen? Vader, verlos Mij uit deze ure! Maar hierom ben Ik in deze ure gekomen.
28 My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
Vader, verheerlijk Uw Naam. Er kwam dan een stem uit den hemel, zeggende: En Ik heb Hem verheerlijkt, en Ik zal Hem wederom verheerlijken.
29 The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
De schare dan, die daar stond, en dit hoorde, zeide, dat er een donderslag geschied was. Anderen zeiden: Een engel heeft tot Hem gesproken.
30 Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
Jezus antwoordde en zeide: Niet om Mijnentwil is deze stem geschied, maar om uwentwil.
31 Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
Nu is het oordeel dezer wereld; nu zal de overste dezer wereld buiten geworpen worden.
32 But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
En Ik, zo wanneer Ik van de aarde zal verhoogd zijn, zal hen allen tot Mij trekken.
33 He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
(En dit zeide Hij, betekenende, hoedanigen dood Hij sterven zou.)
34 [Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
De schare antwoordde Hem: Wij hebben uit de wet gehoord, dat de Christus blijft in der eeuwigheid; en hoe zegt Gij, dat de Zoon des mensen moet verhoogd worden? Wie is deze Zoon des mensen? (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
Jezus dan zeide tot hen: Nog een kleinen tijd is het Licht bij ulieden; wandelt, terwijl gij het Licht hebt, opdat de duisternis u niet bevange. En die in de duisternis wandelt, weet niet, waar hij heengaat.
36 Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
Terwijl gij het Licht hebt, gelooft in het Licht, opdat gij kinderen des Lichts moogt zijn. Deze dingen sprak Jezus; en weggaande verborg Hij Zich van hen.
37 Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
En hoewel Hij zovele tekenen voor hen gedaan had, nochtans geloofden zij in Hem niet;
38 [Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
Opdat het woord van Jesaja, den profeet, vervuld werd, dat hij gesproken heeft: Heere, wie heeft onze prediking geloofd, en wien is de arm des Heeren geopenbaard?
39 That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
Daarom konden zij niet geloven, dewijl Jesaja wederom gezegd heeft:
40 They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
Hij heeft hun ogen verblind, en hun hart verhard; opdat zij met de ogen niet zien, en met het hart niet verstaan, en zij bekeerd worden, en Ik hen geneze.
41 Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
Dit zeide Jesaja, toen hij Zijn heerlijkheid zag, en van Hem sprak.
42 Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
Nochtans geloofden ook zelfs velen uit de oversten in Hem; maar om der Farizeen wil beleden zij het niet; opdat zij uit de synagoge niet zouden geworpen worden.
43 They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
Want zij hadden de eer der mensen lief, meer dan de eer van God.
44 [Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
En Jezus riep, en zeide: Die in Mij gelooft, gelooft in Mij niet, maar in Dengene, Die Mij gezonden heeft.
45 When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
En die Mij ziet, die ziet Dengene, Die Mij gezonden heeft.
46 I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
Ik ben een Licht, in de wereld gekomen, opdat een iegelijk, die in Mij gelooft, in de duisternis niet blijve.
47 As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
En indien iemand Mijn woorden gehoord, en niet geloofd zal hebben, Ik oordeel hem niet; want Ik ben niet gekomen, opdat Ik de wereld oordele, maar opdat Ik de wereld zalig make.
48 There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
Die Mij verwerpt, en Mijn woorden niet ontvangt, heeft, die hem oordeelt; het woord, dat Ik gesproken heb, dat zal hem oordelen ten laatsten dage.
49 I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
Want Ik heb uit Mijzelven niet gesproken; maar de Vader, Die Mij gezonden heeft, Die heeft Mij een gebod gegeven, wat Ik zeggen zal, en wat Ik spreken zal.
50 I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
En Ik weet, dat Zijn gebod het eeuwige leven is. Hetgeen Ik dan spreek, dat spreek Ik alzo, gelijk Mij de Vader gezegd heeft. (aiōnios g166)
