馬利亞用香膏抹主

12 逾越節前六日,耶穌來到伯大尼,就是他叫拉撒路從死裡復活之處。 有人在那裡給耶穌預備筵席,馬大伺候,拉撒路也在那同耶穌坐席的人中。 馬利亞就拿著一斤極貴的真哪噠香膏,抹耶穌的腳,又用自己的頭髮去擦,屋裡就滿了膏的香氣。 有一個門徒,就是那將要賣耶穌的加略猶大 說:「這香膏為什麼不賣三十兩銀子賙濟窮人呢?」 他說這話,並不是掛念窮人,乃因他是個賊,又帶著錢囊,常取其中所存的。 耶穌說:「由她吧!她是為我安葬之日存留的。 因為常有窮人和你們同在,只是你們不常有我。」

有許多猶太人知道耶穌在那裡,就來了,不但是為耶穌的緣故,也是要看他從死裡所復活的拉撒路 10 但祭司長商議連拉撒路也要殺了, 11 因有好些猶太人為拉撒路的緣故,回去信了耶穌。

主騎驢進耶路撒冷

12 第二天,有許多上來過節的人聽見耶穌將到耶路撒冷 13 就拿著棕樹枝出去迎接他,喊著說:「和散那!奉主名來的以色列王是應當稱頌的!」 14 耶穌得了一個驢駒,就騎上,如經上所記的說: 15 錫安的民[a]哪,不要懼怕!你的王騎著驢駒來了。」 16 這些事門徒起先不明白,等到耶穌得了榮耀以後,才想起這話是指著他寫的,並且眾人果然向他這樣行了。 17 當耶穌呼喚拉撒路,叫他從死復活出墳墓的時候,同耶穌在那裡的眾人就作見證。 18 眾人因聽見耶穌行了這神蹟,就去迎接他。 19 法利賽人彼此說:「看哪,你們是徒勞無益,世人都隨從他去了!」

20 那時,上來過節禮拜的人中,有幾個希臘人。 21 他們來見加利利伯賽大腓力,求他說:「先生,我們願意見耶穌。」 22 腓力去告訴安得烈安得烈腓力去告訴耶穌。

耶穌向百姓末了的講論

23 耶穌說:「人子得榮耀的時候到了。 24 我實實在在地告訴你們:一粒麥子不落在地裡死了,仍舊是一粒;若是死了,就結出許多子粒來。 25 愛惜自己生命的,就失喪生命;在這世上恨惡自己生命的,就要保守生命到永生。 26 若有人服侍我,就當跟從我;我在哪裡,服侍我的人也要在哪裡。若有人服侍我,我父必尊重他。 27 我現在心裡憂愁,我說什麼才好呢?父啊,救我脫離這時候!但我原是為這時候來的。 28 父啊,願你榮耀你的名!」當時就有聲音從天上來說:「我已經榮耀了我的名,還要再榮耀。」 29 站在旁邊的眾人聽見,就說:「打雷了。」還有人說:「有天使對他說話。」

主要吸引萬人歸己

30 耶穌說:「這聲音不是為我,是為你們來的。 31 現在這世界受審判,這世界的王要被趕出去。 32 我若從地上被舉起來,就要吸引萬人來歸我。」 33 耶穌這話原是指著自己將要怎樣死說的。 34 眾人回答說:「我們聽見律法上有話說基督是永存的,你怎麼說人子必須被舉起來呢?這人子是誰呢?」 35 耶穌對他們說:「光在你們中間還有不多的時候,應當趁著有光行走,免得黑暗臨到你們。那在黑暗裡行走的,不知道往何處去。 36 你們應當趁著有光,信從這光,使你們成為光明之子。」

應驗以賽亞的預言

37 耶穌說了這話,就離開他們隱藏了。他雖然在他們面前行了許多神蹟,他們還是不信他。 38 這是要應驗先知以賽亞的話說:「主啊,我們所傳的有誰信呢?主的膀臂向誰顯露呢?」 39 他們所以不能信,因為以賽亞又說: 40 「主叫他們瞎了眼,硬了心,免得他們眼睛看見,心裡明白,回轉過來,我就醫治他們。」 41 以賽亞因為看見他的榮耀,就指著他說這話。 42 雖然如此,官長中卻有好些信他的,只因法利賽人的緣故,就不承認,恐怕被趕出會堂。 43 這是因他們愛人的榮耀過於愛神的榮耀。

信子就是信父

44 耶穌大聲說:「信我的,不是信我,乃是信那差我來的。 45 人看見我,就是看見那差我來的。 46 我到世上來,乃是光,叫凡信我的不住在黑暗裡。 47 若有人聽見我的話不遵守,我不審判他。我來本不是要審判世界,乃是要拯救世界。 48 棄絕我、不領受我話的人,有審判他的,就是我所講的道在末日要審判他。 49 因為我沒有憑著自己講,唯有差我來的父已經給我命令,叫我說什麼、講什麼。 50 我也知道他的命令就是永生。故此,我所講的話正是照著父對我所說的。」

香膏抹脚

12 逾越节前六天,耶稣来到伯大尼,就是祂叫拉撒路从死里复活的村子。 村里有人为耶稣预备了晚饭,拉撒路也与耶稣同席,玛大在旁边伺候。 玛丽亚拿出一瓶[a]珍贵的纯哪哒香膏来抹耶稣的脚,又用自己的头发去擦,屋里顿时充满了香气。

有一个门徒,就是将要出卖耶稣的加略人犹大说: “为什么不把香膏卖三百个银币[b]去周济穷人呢?” 他这样说不是因为他真的关心穷人,其实他是个贼,常常借管钱的机会中饱私囊。

耶稣说:“由她吧!她这是为我安葬作预备。 因为你们身边总会有穷人,可是你们身边不会总有我。”

有许多犹太人知道耶稣在那里,就来看祂,不单是为了看耶稣,也想看看从死里复活的拉撒路。 10 于是,祭司长计划连拉撒路也杀掉, 11 因为有许多犹太人因为拉撒路的缘故离开他们,去信了耶稣。

光荣进圣城

12 第二天,很多上来过节的人听见耶稣快到耶路撒冷了, 13 就拿着棕树枝出去迎接祂,并且高声欢呼:

“和散那[c]
奉主名来的以色列王当受称颂!”

14 那时,耶稣找到一头驴驹,就骑上它,正如圣经记载:

15 “锡安的居民啊,不要害怕!
你的君王骑着驴驹来了。”

16 起初门徒不明白这些事,后来耶稣得了荣耀,他们才想起圣经上这些有关耶稣的记载果然在祂身上应验了。 17 那些亲眼看见耶稣叫拉撒路复活、走出坟墓的人不断传扬这件事。 18 许多听过耶稣行这神迹的人都去迎接祂。 19 法利赛人彼此议论说:“我们真是枉费心思!你看,整个世界都跟着祂跑了。”

耶稣预言自己的死

20 有几个希腊人也上耶路撒冷过节。 21 他们找到了加利利的伯赛大人腓力,请求说:“先生,我们想见见耶稣。” 22 腓力把这件事告诉安得烈,二人去转告耶稣。

23 耶稣说:“人子得荣耀的时候到了。 24 我实实在在地告诉你们,一粒麦子如果不落在地里死了,仍是一粒,如果死了,就会结出许多麦粒来。 25 爱惜自己生命的,必会失掉生命;憎恶自己今世生命的,才能保住生命,直到永生。 26 谁要事奉我,就要跟从我。我在哪里,事奉我的人也要在哪里。我父必尊重事奉我的人。

27 “我现在心里忧伤,说什么才好呢?求父救我离开这个时刻吗?然而,我原是为这个时刻来的。 28 父啊!愿你使自己的名得荣耀!”

当时天上有声音说:“我已使自己的名得了荣耀,并且还要得荣耀。”

29 站在那里的人群中有人听见就说:“打雷了!”也有人说:“是天使在跟祂说话。”

30 耶稣说:“这声音不是为我发出的,是为你们发出的。 31 现在是这世界受审判的时候,世界的王[d]要被赶出去了。 32 至于我,当我从地上被举起来时,必吸引万人归向我。” 33 耶稣这句话指的是祂会怎样死。

34 众人问:“我们从律法书上知道,基督是永远长存的,你怎么说‘人子要被举起来’呢?这人子是谁呢?”

35 耶稣对他们说:“光在你们中间照耀的时候不多了,你们要趁着有光的时候走路,免得黑暗来临后,走在黑暗里的人不知道要往哪里去。 36 所以你们当趁着有光的时候信从光,好成为光明的儿女。”

耶稣说完后,便离开他们,隐藏起来。

犹太人不信祂

37 耶稣虽然在他们面前行了许多神迹,他们还是不信祂。 38 这是要应验以赛亚先知的话:

“主啊,谁相信我们所传的呢?主的能力[e]向谁显现呢?”
39 接着,以赛亚又说出他们不能信的缘故:
40 “主使他们眼瞎、心硬,
免得他们眼睛看见,
心里明白,回心转意,
就得到我的医治。”

41 以赛亚看见了祂的荣耀,所以才这样说。 42 虽然这样,仍有很多犹太的官员信了耶稣,只是在法利赛人面前不敢公开承认,因为害怕会被赶出会堂。 43 因为他们爱从世人而来的荣耀,胜过爱从上帝而来的荣耀。

耶稣的道要审判人

44 耶稣高声说:“信我的,其实不只是信我,而是信差我来的那位。 45 人看见了我,就是看见了差我来的那位。 46 我来是要作世界的光,好叫信我的人脱离黑暗。 47 听了我的话却不遵守的人,我不审判他,因为我来不是要审判世人,而是要拯救世人。 48 弃绝我、不接受我话的人将受到审判,我讲过的道在末日要审判他, 49 因为我不是凭自己讲的,我说什么、讲什么都是差我来的父吩咐的。 50 我知道祂的命令能带来永生。所以祂怎么告诉我,我就怎么说。”

12 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: 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, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

The Anointing at Bethany(A)

12 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, (B)where Lazarus was [a]who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. (C)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. Then (D)Mary took a pound of very costly oil of (E)spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

But one of His disciples, (F)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial. For (H)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”

The Plot to Kill Lazarus

Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, (I)whom He had raised from the dead. 10 (J)But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 (K)because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

The Triumphal Entry(L)

12 (M)The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:

“Hosanna!
(N)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”

14 (O)Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

15 “Fear(P) not, daughter of Zion;
Behold, your King is coming,
Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

16 (Q)His disciples did not understand these things at first; (R)but when Jesus was glorified, (S)then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 18 (T)For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, (U)“You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”

The Fruitful Grain of Wheat

20 Now there (V)were certain Greeks among those (W)who came up to worship at the feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, (X)who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them, saying, (Y)“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, (Z)unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much [d]grain. 25 (AA)He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him (AB)follow Me; and (AC)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

27 (AD)“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? (AE)But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.”

(AF)Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

30 Jesus answered and said, (AG)“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now (AH)the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, (AI)if I am [e]lifted up from the earth, will draw (AJ)all peoples to Myself.” 33 (AK)This He said, signifying by what death He would die.

34 The people answered Him, (AL)“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer (AM)the light is with you. (AN)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; (AO)he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (AP)sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and (AQ)was hidden from them.

Who Has Believed Our Report?

37 But although He had done so many (AR)signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:

(AS)“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

40 “He(AT) has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
(AU)Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”

41 (AV)These things Isaiah said [f]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

Walk in the Light

42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but (AW)because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 (AX)for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44 Then Jesus cried out and said, (AY)“He who believes in Me, (AZ)believes not in Me (BA)but in Him who sent Me. 45 And (BB)he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 (BC)I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not [g]believe, (BD)I do not judge him; for (BE)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (BF)He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—(BG)the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For (BH)I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, (BI)what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I (BJ)speak.”
