John 12
Complete Jewish Bible
12 Six days before Pesach, Yeshua came to Beit-Anyah, where El‘azar lived, the man Yeshua had raised from the dead; 2 so they gave a dinner there in his honor. Marta served the meal, and El‘azar was among those at the table with him. 3 Miryam took a whole pint of pure oil of spikenard, which is very expensive, poured it on Yeshua’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But one of the talmidim, Y’hudah from K’riot, the one who was about to betray him, said, 5 “This perfume is worth a year’s wages! Why wasn’t it sold and the money given to the poor?” 6 Now he said this not out of concern for the poor, but because he was a thief — he was in charge of the common purse and used to steal from it. 7 Yeshua said, “Leave her alone! She kept this for the day of my burial. 8 You always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”
9 A large crowd of Judeans learned that he was there; and they came not only because of Yeshua, but also so that they could see El‘azar, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 The head cohanim then decided to do away with El‘azar too, 11 since it was because of him that large numbers of the Judeans were leaving their leaders and putting their trust in Yeshua.
12 The next day, the large crowd that had come for the festival heard that Yeshua was on his way into Yerushalayim. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Deliver us!”[a]
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai,[b] the King of Isra’el!”
14 After finding a donkey colt, Yeshua mounted it, just as the Tanakh says —
15 “Daughter of Tziyon, don’t be afraid!
Look! your King is coming,
sitting on a donkey’s colt.”[c]
16 His talmidim did not understand this at first; but after Yeshua had been glorified, then they remembered that the Tanakh said this about him, and that they had done this for him. 17 The group that had been with him when he called El‘azar out of the tomb and raised him from the dead had been telling about it. 18 It was because of this too that the crowd came out to meet him — they had heard that he had performed this miracle. 19 The P’rushim said to each other, “Look, you’re getting nowhere! Why, the whole world has gone after him!”
20 Among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greek-speaking Jews. 21 They approached Philip, the one from Beit-Tzaidah in the Galil, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Yeshua.” 22 Philip came and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Yeshua. 23 Yeshua gave them this answer: “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Yes, indeed! I tell you that unless a grain of wheat that falls to the ground dies, it stays just a grain; but if it dies, it produces a big harvest. 25 He who loves his life loses it, but he who hates his life in this world will keep it safe right on into eternal life! 26 If someone is serving me, let him follow me; wherever I am, my servant will be there too. My Father will honor anyone who serves me.
27 “Now I am in turmoil. What can I say — ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason that I have come to this hour. I will say this: 28 ‘Father, glorify your name!’” At this a bat-kol came out of heaven, “I have glorified it before, and I will glorify it again!” 29 The crowd standing there and hearing it said that it had thundered; others said, “An angel spoke to him.” 30 Yeshua answered, “This bat-kol did not come for my sake but for yours. 31 Now is the time for this world to be judged, now the ruler of this world will be expelled. 32 As for me, when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” 33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he would die.
34 The crowd answered, “We have learned from the Torah that the Messiah remains forever. How is it that you say the Son of Man has to be ‘lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” 35 Yeshua said to them, “The light will be with you only a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, or the dark will overtake you; he who walks in the dark doesn’t know where he’s going. 36 While you have the light, put your trust in the light, so that you may become people of light.” Yeshua said these things, then went off and kept himself hidden from them.
37 Even though he had performed so many miracles in their presence, they still did not put their trust in him, 38 in order that what Yesha‘yahu the prophet had said might be fulfilled,
“Adonai, who has believed our report?
To whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed?”[d]
39 The reason they could not believe was — as Yesha‘yahu said elsewhere —
40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so that they do not see with their eyes,
understand with their hearts,
and do t’shuvah,
so that I could heal them.”[e]
41 (Yesha‘yahu said these things because he saw the Sh’khinah of Yeshua and spoke about him.) 42 Nevertheless, many of the leaders did trust in him; but because of the P’rushim they did not say so openly, out of fear of being banned from the synagogue; 43 for they loved praise from other people more than praise from God.
44 Yeshua declared publicly, “Those who put their trust in me are trusting not merely in me, but in the One who sent me. 45 Also those who see me see the One who sent me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who trusts in me might not remain in the dark. 47 If anyone hears what I am saying and does not observe it, I don’t judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 Those who reject me and don’t accept what I say have a judge — the word which I have spoken will judge them on the Last Day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own initiative, but the Father who sent me has given me a command, namely, what to say and how to say it. 50 And I know that his command is eternal life. So what I say is simply what the Father has told me to say.”

Darby Translation
12 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
2 There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
3 Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
8 for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
9 A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
11 because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
12 On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
13 took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 [Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
18 Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;
21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
26 If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be *my* servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
29 The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
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 out of the earth, will draw all to me.
33 But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
34 The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who *is* this, the Son of man?
35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,
38 that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
42 Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
43 for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
44 But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
45 and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
46 I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
47 and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
50 and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
Juan 12
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Binuhusan ng pabango si Jesus
12 Anim na araw bago ang Paskuwa nang magpunta si Jesus sa Betania, sa bahay ni Lazaro na binuhay niya mula sa mga patay. 2 Naghanda sila ng pagkain para kay Jesus. Nagsisilbi si Marta sa hapag kainan habang si Lazaro naman ay isa sa mga kasalo ni Jesus. 3 (A)Kumuha si Maria ng halos kalahating litro ng mamahaling pabango na gawa sa purong nardo. Ibinuhos niya ito sa mga paa ni Jesus at pinunasan ng kanyang buhok. Napuno ng halimuyak ng pabango ang buong bahay. 4 Subalit isa sa kanyang mga alagad, si Judas Iscariote, na siyang magkakanulo sa kanya ay nagsabi, 5 “Bakit hindi na lang ibinenta ang pabangong ito sa halagang tatlong daang denaryo at ibinigay sa mahihirap?” 6 Sinabi niya ito hindi dahil may malasakit siya sa mga dukha, kundi dahil siya ay magnanakaw. Siya ang nag-iingat ng supot ng salapi at kinukupitan niya ito. 7 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Hayaan mo siya. Pinaghahandaan lamang niya ang araw ng aking libing. 8 (B)Lagi ninyong kasama ang mga dukha, ngunit ako’y hindi ninyo laging makakasama.”
9 Nang malaman ng napakaraming Judio na naroon si Jesus, pumunta sila roon hindi lamang dahil kay Jesus, kundi upang makita rin nila si Lazaro na muli niyang binuhay. 10 Nagplano rin ang mga punong pari na patayin si Lazaro, 11 sapagkat siya ang dahilan kung bakit marami sa mga Judio ang lumalayo sa kanila at sumasampalataya kay Jesus.
Matagumpay na Pagpasok sa Jerusalem
12 Kinabukasan, nabalitaan ng napakaraming taong naroon sa pista na si Jesus ay pupunta sa Jerusalem. 13 (C)Kaya kumuha sila ng mga sanga ng puno ng palma at lumabas sila upang salubungin siya. Nagsigawan sila,
“Hosanna!
Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon,
ang Hari ng Israel!”
14 Nakita ni Jesus ang isang asno at sumakay siya rito. Gaya ng nasusulat,
15 (D)“Huwag kang matakot, anak na babae ng Zion.
Narito ang iyong hari,
dumarating na nakasakay sa batang asno!”
16 Noong una, hindi naunawaan ng mga alagad ni Jesus ang mga bagay na ito. Subalit nang siya ay luwalhatiin na, naalala nila na ang mga ito ay nakasulat tungkol sa kanya at ginawa nga sa kanya. 17 Kaya patuloy na nagpatotoo ang mga taong kasama niya noong tawagin niya si Lazaro mula sa libingan at muli itong binuhay. 18 Nabalitaan din nila na gumawa si Jesus ng ganitong himala, kaya't nagpunta sila para salubungin siya. 19 Dahil dito sinabi ng mga Fariseo sa isa't isa, “Wala tayong magagawa. Tingnan ninyo at sumusunod na sa kanya ang buong mundo.”
20 May mga Griyego ang kabilang doon sa mga nagpunta sa pista upang sumamba. 21 Lumapit sila kay Felipe na taga-Bethsaida ng Galilea at nakiusap sa kanya, “Ginoo, gusto sana naming makita si Jesus.” 22 Pinuntahan ni Felipe si Andres at sinabi ang tungkol dito. Pagkatapos, magkasama silang pumunta at sinabi ito kay Jesus. 23 Sumagot si Jesus, “Dumating na ang oras upang luwalhatiin ang Anak ng Tao. 24 Tandaan ninyo ito, malibang mahulog sa lupa at mamatay ang isang butil ng trigo, ito ay mananatiling butil; subalit kung ito'y mamatay, mamumunga ito nang sagana. 25 (E)Ang nagmamahal sa kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito at ang mga napopoot sa kanyang buhay sa sanlibutang ito ay mag-iingat nito tungo sa buhay na walang hanggan. 26 Ang sinumang naglilingkod sa akin ay dapat sumunod sa akin, at kung nasaan ako ay naroon din ang aking lingkod. Ang sinumang naglilingkod sa akin ay pararangalan ng Ama.
Ang Pagpapahiwatig ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan
27 “Ngayon, ang kaluluwa ko'y nababagabag. At ano'ng sasabihin ko? ‘Ama, iligtas mo ako sa oras na ito’? Ngunit ang oras na ito ang dahilan kung bakit naparito ako. 28 Ama, luwalhatiin mo ang iyong pangalan.” At isang tinig mula sa langit ang nagsabi, “Niluwalhati ko na ito, at muli kong luluwalhatiin.” 29 Narinig ito ng mga taong nakatayo roon at sinabi nilang kumulog. Ang iba naman ay nagsabing, “May anghel na kumausap sa kanya.” 30 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang tinig na ito'y dumating para sa inyo, at hindi para sa akin. 31 Ngayon na ang paghuhukom ng sanlibutang ito. Ngayon, ang pinuno ng sanlibutang ito ay palalayasin. 32 At ako, kapag naitaas na mula sa lupa, ilalapit ko ang mga tao sa akin.” 33 Sinabi niya ito upang ilarawan kung paano siya mamamatay. 34 (F)Sumagot ang mga tao, “Narinig namin mula sa kautusan na ang Cristo ay mananatili magpakailanman. Bakit mo sinasabing ang Anak ng Tao ay itataas? Sino ba itong Anak ng Tao?” 35 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Makakasama pa ninyo ang ilaw nang ilang sandali. Lumakad kayo habang kasama pa ninyo ang ilaw, upang sa gayo'y hindi kayo madaig ng kadiliman. Hindi nalalaman ng lumalakad sa dilim ang kanyang pupuntahan. 36 Habang kasama pa ninyo ang ilaw, sumampalataya kayo sa ilaw, upang kayo'y maging mga anak ng ilaw.” Pagkasabi nito, umalis si Jesus at nagtago sa kanila.
Ang Kawalan ng Pananampalataya ng mga Tao
37 Kahit na gumawa si Jesus ng maraming himala sa harap ng mga tao, hindi pa rin sila sumampalataya sa kanya. 38 (G)Ito ay katuparan ng sinabi ni propeta Isaias:
“Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming balita,
at kanino nahayag ang bisig ng Panginoon?”
39 Hindi sila makapaniwala sapagkat sinabi rin ni Isaias,
40 (H)“Binulag niya ang kanilang mga mata
at pinatigas ang kanilang mga puso,
upang hindi makakita ang kanilang mga mata
at hindi makaunawa ang kanilang puso, o makapanumbalik,
upang pagalingin ko.”
41 Ang mga ito'y sinabi ni Isaias dahil nakita niya ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos at siya'y nagsalita tungkol sa kanya. 42 Gayunman, marami ang sumampalataya sa kanya, maging ang ilan sa mga pinuno. Subalit dahil sa mga Fariseo, hindi nila ito ipinaalam sa iba sa takot na palayasin sila sa sinagoga; 43 sapagkat mas ibig nila ang papuri mula sa tao kaysa papuring mula sa Diyos.
44 At pagkatapos, sumigaw si Jesus, “Ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi sa akin sumasampalataya kundi sa kanya na nagsugo sa akin. 45 At ang nakakikita sa akin ay nakakakita sa kanya na nagsugo sa akin. 46 Ako ang ilaw na dumating sa sanlibutan, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa akin ay hindi na manatili sa kadiliman. 47 Hindi ako ang humahatol sa sinumang nakikinig sa aking mga salita ngunit hindi sinusunod ang mga ito. Sapagkat naparito ako hindi upang hatulan ang sanlibutan, kundi upang iligtas ito. 48 May hukom na hahatol sa sinumang nagbabale-wala sa akin at hindi tumanggap ng aking salita; ang salitang sinabi ko ang hahatol sa kanya sa huling araw. 49 Sapagkat hindi galing sa akin ang sinasabi ko. Ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ang nagbigay sa akin ng utos kung ano ang aking sasabihin at bibigkasin. 50 At alam kong ang kanyang utos ay buhay na walang hanggan. Kaya, ang sinasabi ko ay sinabi sa akin ng Ama.”
