John 12
1 Jesus however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom He raised from the dead.
Then six days before the Passover, Yeshua came to Beth-Naiya, where Leayzar was, whom Yeshua raised from the dead.
2 Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down with Him.
So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Marta served, but Leayzar was one of those reclining at the table with him.
3 And Mary taking a pound of ointment of spikenard of great value, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Maryam, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Yeshua, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him,
Then Yehudah Sekariuta, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?
"Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
6 He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7 Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.
But Yeshua said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
8 For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always.
For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
9 And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
A large crowd therefore of the Yehudeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Yeshua's sake only, but that they might see Leayzar also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Wherefore the chief priests took counsel to put Lazarus also to death.
But the chief priests plotted to kill Leayzar also,
11 Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, and believed on Jesus.
because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Yeshua.
12 The next day a great multitude that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,
On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Yeshua was coming to Urishlim,
13 and went out to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed be the king of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord.
they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, "Ushanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israyel."
14 And Jesus having gotten a young ass sat thereon,
And Yeshua, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
15 as it is written, "Fear not, O daughter of Sion, behold thy king cometh sitting on an ass's colt."
"Do not be afraid, daughter of Tsehyun. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
16 Now his disciples did not understand these things at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning Him, and that they had done thus unto Him.
His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Yeshua was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 And the people that were with Him testified, that He called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead:
The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Leayzar out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
18 and for this reason the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle.
For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 The pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye not see that ye prevail nothing? Behold, all the world is gone after Him.
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
20 And among those that came up to worship at the feast there were certain Greeks:
Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
21 that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
These, therefore, came to Philipus, who was from Beth-Sayada of Galila, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Yeshua."
22 And Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Philipus came and told Andreus, and in turn, Andreus came with Philipus, and they told Yeshua.
23 And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to be glorified.
And Yeshua answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Though I tell you indeed and in truth, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth much fruit.
Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any man would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: and if any one serve me, him will my Father honour.
If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I to this hour.
"Now my soul is troubled; and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Father, glorify your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake to Him.
The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours.
Yeshua answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto me.
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
33 This He said, signifying what death He should die.
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
34 The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Meshikha remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the dark knoweth not whither he goeth.
Yeshua therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and then went away, and concealed himself from them.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Yeshua said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 But though He had done so many miracles before their eyes, yet they did not believe on Him:
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
38 so that the word of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
that the word of Eshaya the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
39 And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said,
For this cause they could not believe, for Eshaya said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
41 These things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake concerning Him.
Eshaya said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated.
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
for they loved praise from people more than praise from God.
44 And Jesus raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me:
Then Yeshua shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth Him that sent me.
And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, might not abide in darkness.
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 And if any one hear my words and believe not, I do not condemn him: for I am not now come to condemn the world, but to save the world.
And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word, that I have spoken, will condemn him at the last day.
He who rejects me, and does not accept my words, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him on the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father, who sent me, gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
