John 12
1 Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.
Iesus ergo ante sex dies Paschae venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Iesus.
2 So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.
Fecerunt autem ei coenam ibi: et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
3 Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici, pretiosi, et unxit pedes Iesu, et extersit pedes eius capillis suis: et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti.
4 Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one who afterwards betrayed Jesus),
Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis eius, Iudas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus:
5 "Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"
Quare hoc unguentum non vaeniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis?
6 The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.
Dixit autem hoc, non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum, sed quia fur erat, et loculos habens, ea, quae mittebantur, portabat.
7 But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.
Dixit ergo Iesus: Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturae meae servet illud.
8 For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always."
Pauperes enim semper habebitis vobiscum: me autem non semper habebitis.
9 Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.
Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Iudaeis quia illic est: et venerunt, non propter Iesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.
10 The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus also to death,
Cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent:
11 for because of him many of the Jews left them and became believers in Jesus.
quia multi propter illum abibant ex Iudaeis, et credebant in Iesum.
12 The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
In crastinum autem turba multa, quae venerat ad diem festum, cum audissent quia venit Iesus Ierosolymam:
13 took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!"
acceperunt ramos palmarum, et processerunt obviam ei, et clamabant: Hosanna benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini, Rex Israel.
14 And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, just as the Scripture says,
Et invenit Iesus asellum, et sedit super eum, sicut scriptum est:
15 "Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding on an ass's colt."
Noli timere filia Sion: ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinae.
16 The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.
Haec non cognoverunt discipuli eius primum: sed quando glorificatus est Iesus, tunc recordati sunt quia haec erant scripta de eo: et haec fecerunt ei.
17 The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.
Testimonium ergo perhibebat turba, quae erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento, et suscitavit eum a mortuis.
18 This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
Propterea et obviam venit ei turba: quia audierunt fecisse hoc signum.
19 The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"
Pharisaei ergo dixerunt ad semetipsos: Videtis quia nihil proficimus? ecce mundus totus post eum abiit.
20 Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.
Erant autem quidam Gentiles ex his, qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
21 They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
Hi ergo accesserunt ad Philippum, qui erat a Bethsaida Galilaeae, et rogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, volumus Iesum videre.
22 Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreae: Andreas rursum, et Philippus dixerunt Iesu.
23 His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Iesus autem respondit eis, dicens: Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
24 In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.
Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit; ipsum solum manet. si autem mortuum fuerit, multum fructum affert.
25 He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam: et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam aeternam custodit eam. (aiōnios g166)
26 If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there too shall my servant be. If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him.
Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur: et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.
27 Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
Nunc anima mea turbata est. Et quid dicam? Pater, salvifica me ex hac hora. Sed propterea veni in horam hanc.
28 Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again."
Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de caelo dicens: Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.
29 The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."
Turba ergo, quae stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii autem dicebant: Angelus ei locutus est.
30 "It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, but for your sakes.
Respondit Iesus, et dixit: Non propter me haec vox venit, sed propter vos.
31 Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.
Nunc iudicium est mundi: nunc princeps huius mundi eiicietur foras.
32 And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."
Et ego si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad meipsum.
33 He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.
(hoc autem dicebat, significans qua morte esset moriturus.)
34 The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
Respondit ei turba: Nos audivimus ex lege, quia Christus manet in aeternum: et quomodo tu dicis, Oportet exaltari Filium hominis? Et quis est iste Filius hominis? (aiōn g165)
35 "Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you. Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Adhuc modicum, lumen in vobis est. Ambulate dum lucem habetis, ut non vos tenebrae comprehendant: et qui ambulat in tenebris, nescit quo vadat.
36 In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this, and went away and hid Himself from them.
Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Haec locutus est Iesus: et abiit, et abscondit se ab eis.
37 But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--
Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum:
38 in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"
ut sermo Isaiae impleretur, quem dixit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
39 For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,
Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias:
40 "He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, and should turn, and I should heal them."
Excaecavit oculos eorum, et induravit cor eorum: ut non videant oculis, et non intelligant corde, et convertantur, et sanem eos.
41 Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.
Haec dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam eius, et locutus est de eo.
42 Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
Verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum: sed propter Pharisaeos non confitebantur, ut e synagoga non eiicerentur.
43 For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.
dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis, quam gloriam Dei.
44 But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
Iesus autem clamavit, et dixit: Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum, qui misit me.
45 and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
Et qui videt me, videt eum, qui misit me.
46 I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.
Ego lux in mundum veni: ut omnis, qui credit in me, in tenebris non maneat.
47 And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
Et si quis audierit verba mea, et non custodierit: ego non iudico eum. non enim veni ut iudicem mundum, sed ut salvificem mundum.
48 He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
Qui spernit me, et non accipit verba mea: habet qui iudicet eum. sermo, quem locutus sum, ille iudicabit eum in novissimo die.
49 Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in what words to speak.
Quia ego ex meipso non sum locutus, sed qui misit me Pater, ipse mihi mandatum dedit quid dicam, et quid loquar.
