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.”

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.”
