约翰福音 12
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
马利亚用香膏膏主(A)
12 逾越节前六天,耶稣到了伯大尼,就是拉撒路所住的地方;耶稣曾经使这拉撒路从死人中复活。 2 有人在那里为耶稣预备了筵席。马大在那里侍候,拉撒路也和一些人与耶稣一同吃饭。 3 马利亚拿了半公斤珍贵纯正的哪哒香膏,抹耶稣的脚,又用自己的头发去擦;屋里就满了香膏的香气。 4 耶稣的一个门徒,就是那要出卖他的加略人犹大,说: 5 “为甚么不把这香膏卖三百银币,赒济穷人呢?” 6 他说这话,并不是因为他关怀穷人,而是因为他是个贼,又带着钱囊,常取其中所存的。 7 耶稣就说:“由她吧,这香膏是她留下来为我安葬的日子用的。 8 你们常常有穷人跟你们在一起,却不常有我。”
9 有一大群犹太人知道耶稣在那里,就都来了,然而他们不单是为了耶稣的缘故,也是要看看耶稣使他从死人中复活的拉撒路。 10 于是祭司长想把拉撒路也杀掉, 11 因为有许多犹太人为了拉撒路的缘故,离开他们,信了耶稣。
骑驴进耶路撒冷(B)
12 第二天,有一大群上来过节的人,听见耶稣要来耶路撒冷, 13 就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他,欢呼说:
“和散那,
奉主名来的以色列王,
是应当称颂的!”
14 耶稣找到一头小驴,就骑在上面,正如经上所记的:
15 “锡安的居民哪,不要惧怕;
看哪,你的王来了,
他骑着小驴来了。”
16 门徒起初不明白这些事,可是到耶稣得了荣耀以后,他们才想起这些话是指着他说的,并且人们果然向他这样行了。 17 那些和耶稣在一起,看见他叫拉撒路从坟墓出来,又使他从死人中复活的群众,都为这事作见证。 18 群众因为听见他行了这神迹,就去迎接他。 19 于是法利赛人彼此说:“你们看,你们都是徒劳无功,世人都去跟随他了!”
主被举起来就吸引万人
20 上去过节作礼拜的人中,有些是希腊人。 21 他们来到加利利的伯赛大人腓力那里,请求他,说:“先生,我们想见耶稣。” 22 腓力去告诉安得烈,安得烈就和腓力去告诉耶稣。 23 耶稣对他们说:“人子得荣耀的时候到了! 24 我实实在在告诉你们,一粒麦子若不落在地里死了,仍旧是一粒;如果死了,就结出许多果实来。 25 爱惜自己生命的,就丧掉生命;在这世上恨恶自己生命的,必会保全生命到永远。 26 如果有人服事我,就应当跟从我;我在哪里,服事我的人也会在哪里;如果有人服事我,我父必尊重他。
27 “我现在心里烦乱,我应该说甚么呢?说‘父啊,救我脱离这时刻’吗?然而我正是为了这个缘故来的,要面对这时刻。 28 父啊,愿你荣耀你的名!”当时有声音从天上来,说:“我已经荣耀了我的名,还要再荣耀。” 29 站在旁边的群众听见了,就说:“打雷了。”另外有人说:“有天使对他说话。” 30 耶稣说:“这声音不是为了我,而是为了你们发出的。 31 现在是这世界受审判的时候了,现在这世界的王要被赶出去。 32 我若从地上被举起来,就要吸引万人归向我。” 33 他说这话,是指着自己将要怎样死说的。 34 于是群众对他说:“我们从律法上知道基督是永远常存的,你怎么说‘人子必须被举起来’呢?这人子是谁呢?” 35 耶稣说:“光在你们中间的时间不多了。你们应当趁着有光的时候行走,免得黑暗追上你们。在黑暗中行走的人,不知道往哪里去。 36 你们应当趁着有光的时候信从这光,使你们成为光明的儿女。”
主的道要审判不信的人
耶稣说完了这些话,就离开他们隐藏起来。 37 耶稣在他们面前行了许多神迹,但是他们仍然不信他。 38 这是要应验以赛亚先知所说的话:
“主啊,我们所传的,有谁信呢?
主的膀臂向谁显露呢?”
39 他们不能相信,因为以赛亚又说:
40 “ 神使他们瞎了眼,硬了心,
免得他们眼睛看见,
心里明白而回转过来;
我就医好他们。”
41 以赛亚说这些话,是因为看见了他的荣耀,就指着他说的。 42 虽然这样,官长当中也有许多人信了耶稣。但是因为法利赛人的缘故,他们不敢公开承认,免得被赶出会堂; 43 因为他们爱来自人的荣耀,过于爱来自 神的荣耀。
44 耶稣大声说:“信我的,不单是信我,也是信那差我来的。 45 看见我的,就是看见那差我来的。 46 我是光,我到世上来,叫所有信我的不住在黑暗里。 47 人若听见我的话却不遵守的,我不审判他,因为我来不是要审判世人,而是要拯救世人。 48 弃绝我又不接受我的话的人,自有审判他的。我所讲的道在末日要定他的罪; 49 因为我没有凭着自己说话,而是差我来的父给了我命令,要我说甚么,讲甚么。 50 我知道他的命令就是永生。所以,我所讲的,正是父吩咐我要我讲的。”
約翰福音 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
香膏抹腳
12 逾越節前六天,耶穌來到伯大尼,就是祂叫拉撒路從死裡復活的村子。 2 村裡有人為耶穌預備了晚飯,拉撒路也與耶穌同席,瑪大在旁邊伺候。 3 瑪麗亞拿出一瓶[a]珍貴的純哪噠香膏來抹耶穌的腳,又用自己的頭髮去擦,屋裡頓時充滿了香氣。
4 有一個門徒,就是將要出賣耶穌的加略人猶大說: 5 「為什麼不把香膏賣三百個銀幣[b]去賙濟窮人呢?」 6 他這樣說不是因為他真的關心窮人,其實他是個賊,常常藉管錢的機會中飽私囊。
7 耶穌說:「由她吧!她這是為我安葬作預備。 8 因為你們身邊總會有窮人,可是你們身邊不會總有我。」
9 有許多猶太人知道耶穌在那裡,就來看祂,不單是為了看耶穌,也想看看從死裡復活的拉撒路。 10 於是,祭司長計劃連拉撒路也殺掉, 11 因為有許多猶太人因為拉撒路的緣故離開他們,去信了耶穌。
光榮進聖城
12 第二天,很多上來過節的人聽見耶穌快到耶路撒冷了, 13 就拿著棕樹枝出去迎接祂,並且高聲歡呼:
「和散那[c]!
奉主名來的以色列王當受稱頌!」
14 那時,耶穌找到一頭驢駒,就騎上牠,正如聖經記載:
15 「錫安的居民啊,不要害怕!
你的君王騎著驢駒來了。」
16 起初門徒不明白這些事,後來耶穌得了榮耀,他們才想起聖經上這些有關耶穌的記載果然在祂身上應驗了。 17 那些親眼看見耶穌叫拉撒路復活、走出墳墓的人不斷傳揚這件事。 18 許多聽過耶穌行這神蹟的人都去迎接祂。 19 法利賽人彼此議論說:「我們真是枉費心思!你看,整個世界都跟著祂跑了。」
耶穌預言自己的死
20 有幾個希臘人也上耶路撒冷過節。 21 他們找到了加利利的伯賽大人腓力,請求說:「先生,我們想見見耶穌。」 22 腓力把這件事告訴安得烈,二人去轉告耶穌。
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,一粒麥子如果不落在地裡死了,仍是一粒,如果死了,就會結出許多麥粒來。 25 愛惜自己生命的,必會失掉生命;憎惡自己今世生命的,才能保住生命,直到永生。 26 誰要事奉我,就要跟從我。我在哪裡,事奉我的人也要在哪裡。我父必尊重事奉我的人。
27 「我現在心裡憂傷,說什麼才好呢?求父救我離開這個時刻嗎?然而,我原是為這個時刻來的。 28 父啊!願你使自己的名得榮耀!」
當時天上有聲音說:「我已使自己的名得了榮耀,並且還要得榮耀。」
29 站在那裡的人群中有人聽見就說:「打雷了!」也有人說:「是天使在跟祂說話。」
30 耶穌說:「這聲音不是為我發出的,是為你們發出的。 31 現在是這世界受審判的時候,世界的王[d]要被趕出去了。 32 至於我,當我從地上被舉起來時,必吸引萬人歸向我。」 33 耶穌這句話指的是祂會怎樣死。
34 眾人問:「我們從律法書上知道,基督是永遠長存的,你怎麼說『人子要被舉起來』呢?這人子是誰呢?」
35 耶穌對他們說:「光在你們中間照耀的時候不多了,你們要趁著有光的時候走路,免得黑暗來臨後,走在黑暗裡的人不知道要往哪裡去。 36 所以你們當趁著有光的時候信從光,好成為光明的兒女。」
耶穌說完後,便離開他們,隱藏起來。
猶太人不信祂
37 耶穌雖然在他們面前行了許多神蹟,他們還是不信祂。 38 這是要應驗以賽亞先知的話:
「主啊,誰相信我們所傳的呢?主的能力[e]向誰顯現呢?」
39 接著,以賽亞又說出他們不能信的緣故:
40 「主使他們眼瞎、心硬,
免得他們眼睛看見,
心裡明白,回心轉意,
就得到我的醫治。」
41 以賽亞看見了祂的榮耀,所以才這樣說。 42 雖然這樣,仍有很多猶太的官員信了耶穌,只是在法利賽人面前不敢公開承認,因為害怕會被趕出會堂。 43 因為他們愛從世人而來的榮耀,勝過愛從上帝而來的榮耀。
耶穌的道要審判人
44 耶穌高聲說:「信我的,其實不只是信我,而是信差我來的那位。 45 人看見了我,就是看見了差我來的那位。 46 我來是要作世界的光,好叫信我的人脫離黑暗。 47 聽了我的話卻不遵守的人,我不審判他,因為我來不是要審判世人,而是要拯救世人。 48 棄絕我、不接受我話的人將受到審判,我講過的道在末日要審判他, 49 因為我不是憑自己講的,我說什麼、講什麼都是差我來的父吩咐的。 50 我知道祂的命令能帶來永生。所以祂怎麼告訴我,我就怎麼說。」
John 12
New International Version
Jesus Anointed at Bethany(A)
12 Six days before the Passover,(B) Jesus came to Bethany,(C) where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served,(D) while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume;(E) she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair.(F) And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him,(G) objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag,(H) he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.(I) 8 You will always have the poor among you,[c](J) but you will not always have me.”
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.(K) 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him(L) many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.(M)
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(N)
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches(O) and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![d]”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(Q)
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this.(S) Only after Jesus was glorified(T) did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
17 Now the crowd that was with him(U) when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,(V) went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”(W)
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Now there were some Greeks(X) among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida(Y) in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, “The hour(Z) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(AA) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(AB) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it(AC) for eternal life.(AD) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(AE) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 “Now my soul is troubled,(AF) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(AG) save me from this hour’?(AH) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from heaven,(AI) “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit,(AJ) not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world;(AK) now the prince of this world(AL) will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up[g] from the earth,(AM) will draw all people to myself.”(AN) 33 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)
34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law(AP) that the Messiah will remain forever,(AQ) so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(AR) must be lifted up’?(AS) Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light(AT) just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light,(AU) before darkness overtakes you.(AV) Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.”(AW) When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.(AX)
Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews
37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs(AY) in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts,
nor turn—and I would heal them.”[i](BA)
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory(BB) and spoke about him.(BC)
42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him.(BD) But because of the Pharisees(BE) they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;(BF) 43 for they loved human praise(BG) more than praise from God.(BH)
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.(BI) 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.(BJ) 46 I have come into the world as a light,(BK) so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(BL) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(BM) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(BN) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(BO) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(BP)

New King James Version
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. 2 (C)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 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.
4 But one of His disciples, (F)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 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.
7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial. 8 For (H)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 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.”
