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。”
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)

María unge a Jesús
12 (A)Entonces Jesús, seis días antes de la Pascua(B), vino a Betania donde estaba Lázaro[a], al que Jesús había resucitado de entre los muertos(C). 2 Y[b] le hicieron una cena allí, y Marta(D) servía; pero Lázaro era uno de los que estaban[c] a la mesa con Él.
3 Entonces María, tomando unos 300 gramos de perfume de nardo puro(E) que costaba mucho, ungió los pies de Jesús, y se los secó[d] con los cabellos(F), y la casa se llenó con la fragancia del perfume. 4 Y Judas Iscariote, uno de Sus discípulos, el que lo iba a entregar[e](G), dijo*: 5 «¿Por qué no se vendió este perfume por 300 denarios[f] y se dio a los pobres?».
6 Pero dijo esto, no porque se preocupara por los pobres, sino porque era un ladrón, y como tenía la bolsa del dinero(H), sustraía de lo que se echaba en ella(I). 7 Entonces Jesús dijo: «Déjala, para que lo guarde para el día de Mi sepultura[g](J). 8 Porque a los pobres siempre los tendrán[h]con ustedes; pero a Mí no siempre me tendrán[i](K)».
Conspiración para matar a Lázaro
9 Entonces la gran multitud de judíos(L) se enteró de que Jesús estaba allí; y vinieron no solo por causa de Jesús, sino también por ver a Lázaro, a quien había resucitado de entre los muertos(M). 10 Pero los principales sacerdotes resolvieron matar también a Lázaro; 11 porque por causa de él(N) muchos de los judíos se apartaban y creían en Jesús(O).
La entrada triunfal
12 Al día siguiente, (P)cuando la gran multitud que había venido a la fiesta(Q), oyó que Jesús venía a Jerusalén, 13 tomaron hojas de las palmas y salieron a recibir a Jesús, y gritaban: «¡Hosanna! Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor(R), el Rey de Israel(S)».
14 Jesús, hallando un asnillo, se montó en él; como está escrito: 15 «No temas, hija de Sión; mira, tu Rey viene, montado en un pollino de asna(T)». 16 Sus discípulos no entendieron esto al principio(U), pero después, cuando Jesús fue glorificado(V), entonces se acordaron de que esto se había escrito de Él, y de que le habían hecho estas cosas.
17 Y así, la multitud que estaba con Jesús cuando llamó a Lázaro del sepulcro y lo resucitó de entre los muertos(W), daba testimonio de Él. 18 Por eso la multitud fue también a recibir a Jesús(X), porque habían oído que Él había hecho esta señal[j](Y). 19 Entonces los fariseos se decían unos a otros: «¿Ven que ustedes no consiguen nada? Miren, todo el mundo se ha ido tras Él».
Unos griegos buscan a Jesús
20 Había unos griegos(Z) entre los que subían a adorar en la fiesta(AA); 21 estos fueron a Felipe(AB), que era de Betsaida(AC) de Galilea, y le rogaban: «Señor, queremos ver a Jesús».
22 Felipe fue* y se lo dijo* a Andrés(AD); Andrés y Felipe fueron* y se lo dijeron* a Jesús. 23 Jesús les respondió*: «Ha llegado la hora(AE)para que el Hijo del Hombre sea glorificado(AF). 24 En verdad les digo que si el grano de trigo no cae en tierra y muere, se queda solo; pero si muere, produce mucho fruto(AG). 25 El que ama su vida la pierde; y el que aborrece su vida(AH)en este mundo, la conservará(AI)para vida eterna. 26 Si alguien me sirve, que me siga; y donde Yo estoy, allí también estará Mi servidor(AJ); si alguien me sirve, el Padre lo honrará(AK).
Jesús anuncia Su muerte
27 »Ahora Mi alma se ha angustiado(AL) ; y ¿qué diré: “Padre(AM) , sálvame de esta hora(AN) ”? Pero para esto he llegado a esta hora. 28 Padre(AO), glorifica Tu nombre». Entonces vino una voz del cielo(AP): «Y lo he glorificado, y de nuevo lo glorificaré».
29 Por eso la multitud que estaba allí y oyó la voz, decía que había sido un trueno; otros decían: «Un ángel le ha hablado(AQ)». 30 Jesús les dijo: «Esta voz no ha venido por causa Mía, sino por causa de ustedes(AR). 31 Ya está aquí[k]el juicio de este mundo(AS); ahora el príncipe de este mundo(AT)será echado fuera. 32 Pero Yo, si soy levantado de la tierra(AU), atraeré a todos a Mí mismo(AV)».
33 Pero Él decía esto para indicar la clase de muerte que iba a morir(AW). 34 Entonces la multitud le respondió: «Hemos oído en[l] la ley(AX) que el Cristo[m] permanecerá para siempre(AY); ¿y cómo dices Tú: “El Hijo del Hombre(AZ)tiene que ser levantado(BA)”? ¿Quién es este Hijo del Hombre?».
35 Jesús entonces les dijo: «Todavía, por un poco de tiempo, la Luz estará[n]entre ustedes(BB). Caminen mientras tengan la Luz(BC), para que no los sorprendan las tinieblas(BD); el que anda en la oscuridad no sabe adónde va(BE). 36 Mientras tienen la Luz, crean en la Luz(BF), para que sean hijos de la Luz(BG)».
Estas cosas habló Jesús, y se fue y se ocultó[o] de ellos(BH).
37 Pero aunque había hecho tantas señales[p] delante de ellos, no creían en Él, 38 para que se cumpliera la palabra del profeta Isaías, que dijo: «Señor, ¿quién ha creído a nuestro anuncio? ¿Y a quién se ha revelado el brazo[q] del Señor(BI)?». 39 Por eso no podían creer, porque Isaías dijo también[r]: 40 «Él ha cegado sus ojos y endurecido su corazón(BJ), para que no vean con los ojos y entiendan con el corazón, y se conviertan y Yo los sane(BK)». 41 Esto dijo Isaías porque vio Su gloria(BL), y habló de Él(BM).
42 Sin embargo, muchos, aun de los gobernantes(BN), creyeron en Él(BO), pero por causa de los fariseos(BP) no lo confesaban, para no ser expulsados de la sinagoga(BQ). 43 Porque amaban más el reconocimiento[s] de los hombres que el reconocimiento[t] de Dios(BR).
Juzgados por la palabra de Jesús
44 Entonces Jesús exclamó: «El que cree en Mí, no cree en Mí, sino en Aquel que me ha enviado(BS). 45 Y el que me ve, ve a Aquel que me ha enviado(BT). 46 Yo, la Luz, he venido al mundo, para que todo el que cree en Mí no permanezca en tinieblas(BU). 47 Si alguno oye Mis palabras y no las guarda, Yo no lo juzgo; porque no vine a juzgar al mundo, sino a salvar al mundo(BV). 48 El que me rechaza(BW)y no recibe Mis palabras, tiene quien lo juzgue; la palabra que he hablado(BX), esa lo juzgará en el día final(BY).
49 »Porque Yo no he hablado por Mi propia cuenta[u](BZ) , sino que el Padre mismo que me ha enviado me ha dado mandamiento(CA) sobre lo que he de decir y lo que he de hablar. 50 Y sé que Su mandamiento es vida eterna(CB); por eso lo que Yo hablo, lo hablo tal como el Padre me lo ha dicho(CC)».

King James Version
12 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 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.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 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.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9 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.

Binuhusan ng Pabango ang mga Paa ni Jesus(A)
12 Anim na araw bago sumapit ang Pista ng Paskwa, si Jesus ay nagpunta sa Bethania, kung saan nakatira si Lazaro na kanyang muling binuhay. 2 Isang hapunan ang inihanda roon para sa kanya. Si Lazaro ay isa sa mga kasalo ni Jesus samantalang si Martha naman ay tumutulong sa paglilingkod sa kanila. 3 Kumuha(B) naman si Maria ng isang bote ng mamahaling pabangong galing sa katas ng dalisay na nardo, at ibinuhos sa mga paa ni Jesus. Pagkatapos, pinunasan niya ang mga ito ng kanyang buhok. At napuno ang buong bahay ng halimuyak ng pabango. 4 Ito'y pinuna ni Judas Iscariote, ang alagad na magkakanulo sa kanya. Sinabi niya, 5 “Bakit hindi na lamang ipinagbili ang pabango at ibinigay sa mga dukha ang pinagbilhan? Maaaring umabot sa tatlong daang salaping pilak ang halaga ng pabangong iyan!” 6 Sinabi iyon ni Judas, hindi dahil sa siya'y may malasakit sa mga dukha, kundi dahil sa siya'y magnanakaw. Siya ang tagapagdala ng kanilang salapi, at madalas niyang kinukupitan ito.
7 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Pabayaan ninyo siya! Hayaan ninyong ilaan niya ito para sa araw ng aking libing. 8 Habang(C) panaho'y kasama ninyo ang mga dukha, ngunit ako'y hindi ninyo kasama habang panahon.”
Ang Balak Laban kay Lazaro
9 Nabalitaan ng maraming Judio na si Jesus ay nasa Bethania kaya't nagpunta sila roon upang makita siya at si Lazaro, na kanyang muling binuhay. 10 Kaya't binalak ng mga punong pari na ipapatay din si Lazaro, 11 sapagkat dahil sa kanya'y maraming Judio ang humihiwalay na sa kanila at sumasampalataya kay Jesus.
Ang Matagumpay na Pagpasok sa Jerusalem(D)
12 Kinabukasan, nabalitaan ng maraming taong dumalo sa pista na si Jesus ay papunta sa Jerusalem. 13 Kumuha(E) sila ng mga palapa ng palmera, at lumabas sila sa lungsod upang siya'y salubungin. Sila'y sumisigaw, “Purihin ang Diyos.[a] Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon! Purihin ang Hari ng Israel!”
14 Nakakita si Jesus ng isang batang asno at sinakyan niya ito, gaya ng nasusulat,
15 “Huwag(F) kang matakot, lungsod ng Zion!
Masdan mo, dumarating ang iyong hari,
    nakasakay sa isang batang asno!”
16 Hindi ito naunawaan noon ng kanyang mga alagad. Ngunit matapos na si Jesus ay maluwalhating nabuhay muli, naalala nilang ganoon nga ang sinasabi sa kasulatan tungkol sa kanya, kaya't gayon nga ang nangyari.
17 Ang mga taong kasama ni Jesus noong tawagin niya si Lazaro mula sa libingan at muli niya itong binuhay ay nagpatotoo tungkol sa nangyari. 18 At ito ang dahilan kaya siya sinalubong ng napakaraming tao—nabalitaan nila ang himalang ginawa niya.
19 Kaya't nasabi ng mga Pariseo, “Nakikita ninyong walang nangyayari sa mga ginagawa natin. Tingnan ninyo, sumusunod sa kanya ang buong mundo!”
Hinanap ng Ilang Griego si Jesus
20 May ilang Griegong dumalo sa pista upang sumamba. 21 Lumapit sila kay Felipe na taga-Bethsaida sa Galilea, at nakiusap, “Ginoo, nais po naming makita si Jesus.”
22 Ito'y sinabi ni Felipe kay Andres, at magkasama silang nagsabi nito kay Jesus. 23 Sumagot si Jesus, “Dumating na ang oras upang luwalhatiin ang Anak ng Tao. 24 Pakatandaan ninyo: hangga't hindi nahuhulog sa lupa ang butil ng trigo at mamatay, mananatili itong nag-iisa. Ngunit kung ito'y mamatay, mamumunga ito nang sagana. 25 Ang(G) taong nagpapahalaga sa kanyang buhay ay siyang mawawalan nito, ngunit ang taong hindi nagpapahalaga sa kanyang buhay sa daigdig na ito ay siyang magkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 26 Ang naghahangad na maglingkod sa akin ay dapat sumunod sa akin, at saanman ako naroroon ay naroroon din siya. Pararangalan ng Ama ang sinumang naglilingkod sa akin.”
Ipinahiwatig ni Jesus ang Kanyang Pagkamatay
27 “Ako'y nababagabag ngayon. Sasabihin ko bang, ‘Ama, huwag mong hayaang sumapit sa akin ang oras na ito ng paghihirap’? Hindi! Sapagkat ito ang dahilan kung bakit ako naparito—upang danasin ang oras na ito. 28 Ama, luwalhatiin mo ang iyong pangalan.”
Isang tinig mula sa langit ang nagsabi, “Niluwalhati ko na ito, at muli kong luluwalhatiin.”
29 Narinig iyon ng mga taong naroon kaya't sinabi nila, “Kumulog!” Sabi naman ng iba, “Nagsalita sa kanya ang isang anghel!”
30 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Ang tinig na iyon ay ipinarinig para sa inyo at hindi para sa akin. 31 Panahon na upang hatulan ang mundong ito. Panahon na rin upang hatulan ang pinuno ng mundong ito. 32 At kung ako'y maitaas na, ilalapit ko sa aking sarili ang lahat ng tao.” 33 Sinabi niya ito upang ipahiwatig kung paano siya mamamatay.
34 Sinagot(H) siya ng mga tao, “Sinasabi sa amin ng Kautusan na ang Cristo ay mananatili magpakailanman. Bakit mo sinasabing dapat maitaas ang Anak ng Tao? Sino ba ang Anak ng Taong ito?”
35 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kaunting panahon na lamang ninyong makakasama ang ilaw. Lumakad kayo habang kasama pa ninyo ang ilaw upang hindi kayo abutan ng dilim. Hindi alam ng lumalakad sa dilim kung saan siya pupunta. 36 Sumampalataya kayo sa ilaw habang kasama pa ninyo ang ilaw, upang kayo'y maging mga anak ng liwanag.”
Hindi Sumampalataya kay Jesus ang mga Judio
Pagkasabi nito, si Jesus ay umalis doon at hindi na muling nagpakita sa kanila. 37 Kahit na nasaksihan nila ang maraming himalang ginawa niya, hindi pa rin sila naniwala sa kanya. 38 Nangyari(I) ito upang matupad ang sinabi ni Propeta Isaias,
“Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming ibinalita?
    Kanino ipinakita ng Panginoon ang kanyang kapangyarihan?”
39 Hindi nga sila makapaniwala sapagkat tulad ng sinabi ni Isaias,
40 “Binulag(J) ng Diyos ang kanilang mga mata
    at pinatigas ang kanilang mga puso,
upang sila'y hindi makakita,
    ni makaunawa ang kanilang mga isip,
    baka pa sila'y manumbalik sa akin
    at sila'y pagalingin ko.”
41 Sinabi ito ni Isaias sapagkat nakita niya ang kaluwalhatian ni Jesus, at nagpahayag siya tungkol kay Jesus.[b]
42 Gayunman, marami ring pinuno ng mga Judio ang naniwala sa kanya. Subalit hindi nila maipahayag ito dahil sa takot sa mga Pariseo, na baka sila'y itiwalag sa sinagoga. 43 Mas ginusto nilang parangalan sila ng tao kaysa parangalan ng Diyos.
Ang Salita ni Jesus ang Hahatol
44 Malakas na sinabi ni Jesus, “Ang nananalig sa akin ay hindi lamang sa akin nananalig, kundi pati sa nagsugo sa akin. 45 At ang nakakita sa akin ay nakakita na rin sa nagsugo sa akin. 46 Ako'y naparito bilang ilaw ng sanlibutan, upang ang manalig sa akin ay huwag manatili sa kadiliman. 47 Hindi ako ang humahatol sa taong dumirinig ng aking salita, ngunit ayaw namang sumunod dito. Sapagkat hindi ako naparito upang hatulan ang sanlibutan, kundi upang iligtas ito. 48 May ibang hahatol sa mga ayaw tumanggap sa akin at sa aking mga salita. Ang salitang ipinahayag ko ang hahatol sa kanila sa huling araw. 49 Sapagkat hindi ako nagsalita nang mula sa sarili ko lamang; ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ang siyang nag-utos kung ano ang aking sasabihin at ipahahayag. 50 At alam kong ang kanyang utos ay nagbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan. Kaya't ang ipinapasabi ng Ama ang siya kong ipinapahayag.”
