John 12
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Anointing at Bethany
12 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany(A) where Lazarus[a] was, the one Jesus had raised from the dead.(B) 2 So(C) they gave a dinner for him there; Martha(D) was serving them, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about half a litre of perfume, pure and expensive nard, anointed Jesus’s feet, and wiped his feet with her hair.(E) So the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot(F) (who was about to betray him), said, 5 ‘Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii[b](G) and given to the poor? ’ 6 He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief.(H) He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.
7 Jesus answered, ‘Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of my burial.(I) 8 For you always have the poor with you,(J) but you do not always have me.’
The Decision to Kill Lazarus
9 Then a large crowd of the Jews learned he was there. They came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the one he had raised from the dead.(K) 10 But the chief priests had decided to kill Lazarus also, 11 because he was the reason many of the Jews were deserting them[c] and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
12 The(L) next day, when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took palm branches(M) and went out to meet him. They kept shouting:
14 Jesus found a young donkey(Q) and sat on it, just as it is written:
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him(T) and that they had done these things to him.
17 Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb(U) and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.[f] 18 This is also why the crowd met him, because they heard he had done this sign. 19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look, the world has gone after him! ’(V)
Jesus Predicts His Crucifixion
20 Now some Greeks were among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 So they came to Philip,(W) who was from Bethsaida(X) in Galilee,(Y) and requested of him, ‘Sir,(Z) we want to see Jesus.’ 22 Philip went and told Andrew;(AA) then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied to them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man(AB) to be glorified. 24 Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat(AC) falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.(AD) 25 The one who loves his life will lose it,(AE) and the one who hates(AF) his life(AG) in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me. Where I am, there my servant(AH) also will be.(AI) If anyone serves me, the Father will honour(AJ) him.
27 ‘Now my soul is troubled. What should I say – Father, save me(AK) from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.’[g](AL)
Then a voice(AM) came from heaven:(AN) ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’(AO)
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said, ‘An angel has spoken to him.’
30 Jesus responded, ‘This voice came, not for me, but for you.(AP) 31 Now is the judgement of this world.(AQ) Now the ruler of this world(AR) will be cast out.(AS) 32 As for me, if I am lifted up[h] from the earth I will draw all people to myself.’(AT) 33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die.(AU)
34 Then the crowd replied to him, ‘We have heard from the law that the Messiah will remain for ever.(AV) So how can you say, “The Son of Man(AW) must be lifted up”? Who is this Son of Man? ’
35 Jesus answered, ‘The light will be with you only a little longer.(AX) Walk while you have the light(AY) so that darkness doesn’t overtake you.(AZ) The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.(BA) 36 While you have the light,(BB) believe in the light so that you may become children of light.’ Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.(BC)
Isaiah’s Prophecies Fulfilled
37 Even though he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfil(BD) the word of Isaiah(BE) the prophet, who said:[i]
39 This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:
40 He has blinded(BH) their eyes
and hardened their hearts,(BI)
so that they would not see with their eyes
or understand with their hearts,
and turn,(BJ)
and I would heal them.[k](BK)
41 Isaiah said these things because[l] he saw his glory(BL) and spoke about him.
42 Nevertheless, many did believe in him even among the rulers,(BM) but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not be banned from the synagogue. 43 For they loved human praise(BN) more than praise from God.(BO)
A Summary of Jesus’s Mission
44 Jesus cried out, ‘The one who believes in me(BP) believes not in me, but in him who sent me. 45 And the one who sees me sees him(BQ) who sent me. 46 I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep(BR) them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world(BS) but to save the world.(BT) 48 The one who rejects me(BU) and doesn’t receive my sayings has this as his judge:[m] The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.(BV) 49 For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father(BW) himself who sent me has given me a command to say everything I have said. 50 I know that his command is eternal life.(BX) So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.’(BY)

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Gibuboan ni Maria ug Pahumot ang Tiil ni Jesus
(Mat. 26:6-13; Mar. 14:3-9)
12 Unya, sa dihang unom na lang ka adlaw una moabot ang pista, miadto si Jesus sa Betania, sa lugar ni Lazaro nga iyang gibanhaw. 2 Nagaandam silag panihapon alang kang Jesus. Si Lazaro usa sa mga kauban ni Jesus nga nagkaon diha sa lamisa. Si Marta mao ang nagsilbi. 3 Unya si Maria mikuha ug mga tunga sa litrong mahalong pahumot nga gikan sa tanom nga nardo. Gibubo niya kini sa tiil ni Jesus. Pagkahuman gitrapohan niya sa iyang buhok. Ug nalukop ang tibuok balay sa kahumot niadtong pahumot. 4 Usa sa mga kauban ni Jesus didto mao si Judas Iscariote, nga mao ang magluib kaniya. Miingon si Judas, 5 “Ang bili nianang pahumot mga usa gayod ka tuig nga sweldo sa usa ka tawo. Nganong wala man kana ibaligya ug ang halin ipanghatag ngadto sa mga kabos?” 6 Gisulti niya kini, dili tungod kay nalooy siya sa mga kabos, kondili tungod kay kawatan siya. Siya mao ang nagakupot sa ilang kuwarta ug nagapangawkaw siya niini. 7 Apan miingon si Jesus, “Pasagdi siya! Ipatago lang kaniya ang nahibilin nga pahumot aron itagana sa akong lubong. 8 Ang mga kabos kanunay ninyong ikauban, apan ako dili ninyo kanunayng ikauban.”
Ang Plano nga Patyon si Lazaro
9 Daghang mga Judio ang nakabalita nga didto si Jesus sa Betania, busa nangadto sila didto. Nangadto sila dili lang tungod kang Jesus, kondili gusto usab nila nga makita si Lazaro nga iyang gibanhaw. 10 Busa giplano sa kadagkoan sa mga pari nga patyon usab si Lazaro, 11 kay tungod kaniya, daghan sa mga Judio ang namiya kanila ug nagtuo kang Jesus.
Ang Madaogon nga Pagsulod ni Jesus sa Jerusalem
(Mat. 21:1-11; Mar. 11:1-11; Luc. 19:28-40)
12 Pagkasunod adlaw, nabalitaan sa daghang mga tawo nga mitambong sa pista nga si Jesus nagpadulong na sa Jerusalem. 13 Busa nagkuha silag mga dahon sa palmera ug gitagbo nila si Jesus, ug naninggit, “Dayegon ta ang Dios! Gipanalanginan sa Ginoo ang iyang pinadala![a] Dayegon ta ang Hari sa Israel!” 14 Nakakaplag si Jesus ug usa ka nating asno ug iya kining gisakyan. Sa iyang gihimo natuman ang giingon sa Dios sa Kasulatan nga nagaingon:
15 “Kamo nga mga taga-Zion,
ayaw kamo kahadlok,
Tungod kay ang inyong hari nagaabot,
nga nagasakay sa nating asno.”[b]
16 Niadtong panahona, ang mga tinun-an ni Jesus wala pa makasabot kon unsa ang kahulogan niadtong mga nangahitabo. Apan sa dihang mibalik na si Jesus sa langit, ayha pa nila nahinumdoman nga ang gihimo niadtong mga tawo mao gayod diay ang nahisulat sa Kasulatan.
17 Daghang mga tawo ang nakakita sa pagtawag ug pagbanhaw ni Jesus kang Lazaro gikan sa iyang lubnganan. Ug kini nga mga tawo namalita sa nahitabo. 18 Busa daghang mga tawo ang misugat kang Jesus, tungod kay nabalitaan nila kadtong milagro nga iyang gibuhat. 19 Busa nagsultihanay ang mga Pariseo, “Tan-awa ninyo, ang tanang mga tawo nagsunod na kaniya. Wala na gayod kitay mahimo!”
May mga Griego nga Nangita kang Jesus
20 May mga Griego usab nga nangabot sa Jerusalem aron motambong sa pista ug mosimba sa Dios. 21 Nangadto sila kang Felipe nga taga-Betsaida. Kini nga dapit sakop sa Galilea. Miingon ang mga Griego, “Gusto unta namo nga makigkita kang Jesus.” 22 Gisultihan ni Felipe si Andres ug silang duha nangadto kang Jesus aron sultihan siya. 23 Miingon dayon si Jesus kanila, “Karon miabot na ang higayon nga mapasidunggan ang Anak sa Tawo. 24 Sultihan ko kamo sa tinuod, kon ang usa ka binhi dili ilubong sa yuta, kana magpabilin lang gayod nga usa ka binhi. Apan kon ilubong ug mamatay, motubo kini ug mamungag daghan.[c] 25 Ang tawo nga hilabihan ang paghigugma sa iyang kinabuhi kawad-an hinuon niini, apan ang dili manghinugon sa iyang kinabuhi tungod kanako makaangkon sa kinabuhi nga walay kataposan. 26 Si bisan kinsa nga buot mag-alagad kanako kinahanglan mosunod kanako, aron nga kon asa ako atua usab ang akong sulugoon. Ang tawo nga nagaalagad kanako pasidunggan sa Amahan.”
Misulti si Jesus bahin sa Iyang Kamatayon
27 Miingon pa gayod si Jesus, “Karon naglibog ako. Unsa ba ang akong isulti? Moingon ba ako sa Amahan nga dili na lang niya ako paantuson? Apan mao kini ang katuyoan sa akong pag-anhi dinhi, nga mag-antos sa mga kasakit niining panahona.” 28 Miingon dayon si Jesus sa Amahan, “Amahan, ipakita ang imong gahom sa mga tawo.” Ug dayon may tingog gikan sa langit nga nagaingon, “Gipakita ko na pinaagi kanimo, ug ipakita ko pa pag-usab.”
29 Ang mga tawo nga nanambong didto nakadungog sa maong tingog. Nagaingon sila, “Midalogdog!” Apan ang uban nagaingon, “Nakigsulti kaniya ang anghel!” 30 Apan miingon si Jesus kanila, “Gipadungog kadto sa Dios dili alang kanako kondili alang kaninyo. 31 Sukad karon hukman na niya ang mga tawo sa kalibotan. Ug malupig na niya si Satanas nga mao ang nagagahom niining kalibotan. 32 Ug kon bayawon na gani ako gikan sa yuta, paduolon ko ang tanang mga tawo ngari kanako.” 33 (Sa iyang pagsulti niadto, gisulti niya kon unsa nga matang sa kamatayon ang iyang pagaantuson.) 34 Mitubag ang mga tawo kaniya, “Sumala sa Kasugoan magakinabuhi ang Cristo sa walay kataposan. Busa nganong nagaingon ka man nga ang Anak sa Tawo kinahanglan nga mamatay? Kinsa man gayod kanang Anak sa Tawo nga imong gi-ingon?” 35 Gitubag sila ni Jesus, “Hapit nang mawala ang suga diha sa inyong taliwala. Busa samtang ania pa kini pagkinabuhi kamo diha niini nga suga, kay basin kon maabtan kamo sa kangitngit. Kay ang nagalakaw diha sa kangitngit dili makahibalo kon asa siya nagapadulong. 36 Busa tuohi ninyo ako nga mao ang suga samtang ania pa ako uban kaninyo, aron malamdagan ang inyong huna-huna.”[d]
Dili Motuo ang mga Judio kang Jesus
Human siya mosulti niadto milakaw siya ug mitago gikan kanila. 37 Bisan nakakita na gayod sila sa daghang mga milagro nga gipangbuhat ni Jesus, wala gihapon sila motuo kaniya. 38 Busa napamatud-an ang giingon ni Propeta Isaias:
“Ginoo, walay mituo sa among gibalita.
Wala sila masayod nga gipakita mo na kanila ang imong gahom.”[e]
39-40 Miingon pa gayod si Isaias:
“Gibutaan sila sa Dios aron dili sila makakita, ug gitakpan niya ang ilang mga huna-huna aron dili sila makasabot,
kay basin pag mobalik sila ngadto sa Dios ug ayohon niya sila.”[f]
Busa mao kini ang hinungdan kon nganong wala sila motuo kang Jesus. 41 Gisulti kadto ni Isaias tungod kay nakita niya ang gahom ni Jesus ug naghisgot siya mahitungod kaniya.
42 Apan bisan pa niana, daghang kadagkoan sa mga Judio ang mituo kang Jesus. Apan wala lang sila magpadayag sa ilang pagtuo tungod kay nahadlok sila nga dili na sila pasudlon sa mga Pariseo diha sa mga sinagoga sa mga Judio. 43 Kay gipalabi man nila ang pagdayeg sa mga tawo kaysa pagdayeg sa Dios.
Ang Pulong ni Jesus maoy Mohukom sa Tawo
44 Misulti si Jesus sa makusog, “Kon ang tawo magtuo kanako, dili lang ako ang iyang gituohan kondili nagatuo usab siya sa nagpadala kanako. 45 Ang nakakita kanako nakakita usab sa nagpadala kanako. 46 Mianhi ako dinhi sa kalibotan sa paglamdag sa huna-huna sa mga tawo, aron nga si bisan kinsa nga magtuo kanako dili magpabilin sa kangitngit. 47 Kon may nakadungog sa akong mga gipanudlo apan dili motuman niini, dili ako ang mohukom kaniya nga silotan. Kay wala ako moanhi dinhi sa kalibotan aron hukman ang mga tawo kondili aron luwason sila. 48 Adunay maghukom sa mga tawo nga nagasalikway kanako ug dili modawat sa akong mga gipanudlo; ang mga pulong nga akong gipanudlo mao ang maghukom kanila sa kataposang adlaw! 49 Kay ang akong mga gipanudlo dili gikan kanako kondili gikan sa Amahan nga nagpadala kanako. Siya mao ang nagsugo kanako kon unsa ang akong itudlo. 50 Ug nahibalo ako nga ang iyang mga sugo, nga iyang giingon kanako nga akong itudlo, nagahatag ug kinabuhi nga walay kataposan. Busa ginasulti ko kaninyo ang tanan nga iyang gipasulti kanako.”

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.
