約 翰 福 音 12
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
一位女子荣耀耶稣
12 逾越节的前六天，耶稣来到伯大尼，即拉撒路住的地方。耶稣曾使他死而复生。 2 在那里他们为耶稣准备了晚饭，马大在旁边伺候着。拉撒路也和其他人一起与耶稣围坐在桌边。 3 马利亚拿来一罐昂贵的纯哪哒香膏，抹在耶稣的脚上，然后，又用她的头发为他擦干脚，屋子里充满了香气。 4 耶稣的一位门徒—加略人犹大，他就是后来出卖了耶稣的人，说道： 5 “为什么不把香膏卖了，它值一年的工钱呢，然后把钱分给穷人呢？” 6 犹大这么说，并非出于对穷人的关心，而是因为他是个小偷，因为他经管钱箱，所以经常从里面偷偷摸摸拿点钱。
7 耶稣说∶“别打扰她，随她吧，她是在为我的葬礼那天作准备。 8 你们会总会和穷人在一起，但你们却不会常有我。”
杀害拉撒路的阴谋
9 许多来过逾越节的犹太人，发现耶稣在伯大尼。他们去那里不仅是为了看耶稣，也是为了看耶稣起死回生的拉撒路。 10 因此，祭司长也策划要杀害拉撒路。 11 因为拉撒路之事，许多犹太人离开他们的首领，信仰了耶稣。
耶稣像王一样进入耶路撒冷
12 第二天，许多来过节的人听说耶稣要来耶路撒冷， 13 都拿着棕榈枝去欢迎他，呼喊着：
“和撒那！祝福奉主的名义而来的人！
祝福以色列王！”
14 耶稣找来一头驴，骑在上面，正如《经》上所记载的那样：
16 开始，耶稣的门徒不明白这些事情，直到耶稣得到荣耀后，他们才记起《经》对他的记载，而且他们果然按经上所说的那样对待了他。
人们谈论耶稣
17 当耶稣把拉撒路从坟墓召出，把他从死亡里救活时，周围有许多人，这些人把这件事传开了， 18 许多人因为听说他所行的这个奇迹，都出来迎接他、 19 因此，法利赛人彼此说道∶“瞧！我们一事无成。全世界的人都追随他去了。”
耶稣谈生死
20 在逾越节习惯去朝拜的人中有一部分是非犹太人， 21 他们去见加利利伯赛大的腓力，请求道∶“先生，我们想见耶稣。”腓力去告诉安得烈， 22 安得烈又和腓力一起来告诉耶稣。
23 耶稣回答说∶“人子受到荣耀的时刻到了， 24 我实话告诉你们，如果一颗麦粒没有落在地里死去，它依然是一粒种子，但是，一旦它死了，它就会结出许多麦粒。 25 那些爱惜自己生命的人会失去生命；而憎恶世上自己生命的人，则会保守生命到永生。 26 侍奉我的人，必须跟随我，我在哪里，我的仆人也要在哪里。侍奉我的人，父会赐给他荣誉。
耶稣谈自己的死
27 “我的心现在非常忧愁，我该说什么呢？说‘父啊，救我脱离受难的时刻吗？’但我正是为这一刻而来的啊！ 28 父，愿您荣耀您的名字。”
这时，从天上传来一个声音说∶“我已经为我的名字带来了荣耀，我将再次给它带来荣耀。”
29 周围的人听见了，都说那是雷声。
其他人说∶“一个天使对他说过话。”
30 耶稣回答说∶“这声音不是为了我的缘故，而是为了你们而来的。 31 现在是审判这个世界的时候了，这世上的统治者将被推翻。 32 当我从地上被举起时，会把所有的人都吸引在我的身边。” 33 （耶稣这么说，是为了告诉人们，他将会遭受到什么样的死亡。）
34 人们回答道∶“我们从律法中知道，基督是永生的，所以，你怎么能说人子必须从地上被举起呢？这个人是谁？”
35 耶稣对人们说∶“你们还会有一段短暂的光，乘着还有光赶快赶路吧，别让黑暗赶上你们，黑暗里行走的人不知道他往哪里去， 36 趁着光还在，你们信赖它吧，使你们成为光之子。”说完，耶稣离去，躲开了所有的人。
犹太人拒绝信仰耶稣
37 尽管耶稣当着人们的面行了这些奇迹，但是，他们还是不信仰他， 38 所以，这正应验了先知以赛亚的话：
“主，谁相信我们的信息，
主的力量向谁显示过呢？”
39 由于这个缘故，他们不能相信他，因为，以赛亚还说：
40 “他蒙蔽了他们的眼睛，
让他们的心灵迟钝，
以至于他们视而不见，
心灵不能理解，
不转向我－这样我才好治愈他们。”
41 因为，以赛亚看到了耶稣的光辉，所以才这么谈论他的。
42 既便如此，还是有很多人，甚至包括一些犹太首领也信仰了耶稣，但是，因为法利赛人，他们却不敢公开承认，以免被开除出会堂， 43 因为，他们喜爱来自世人的赞赏，超过了喜爱来自上帝的赞赏。
耶稣的教导将审判世人
44 耶稣高声说道∶“信仰我的人并不是在信仰我，而是信仰派我来的上帝， 45 看见我的人，就是看到了派我来的上帝。 46 我做为光来到这个世界，是不让任何信仰我的人处在黑暗之中。”
47 “至于任何听了我的话却不遵守的人，我不会定他的罪，因为，我来到这个世上，不是要给这个世界定罪的，而是来拯救它的。 48 摒弃和不接受我的话的人，会有审判他的。在这个时代的末日那天，我说过的话会定他的罪。 49 因为，我不是代表我自己说话，而是派我来的父亲命令我该说什么和怎样说。 50 我知道他的命令意味着永生，因此，我说的话，就是父亲叫我说的话。”

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Mary Anoints Jesus
12 [a]Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Laz′arus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 There they made him a supper; Martha served, and Laz′arus was one of those at table with him. 3 Mary took a pound of costly ointment of pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii[b] and given to the poor?” 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it. 7 Jesus said, “Let her alone, let her keep it for the day of my burial. 8 The poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came, not only on account of Jesus but also to see Laz′arus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the chief priests planned to put Laz′arus also to death, 11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.
Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
12 The next day a great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it; as it is written,
15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on an ass’s colt!”
16 His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that this had been written of him and had been done to him. 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Laz′arus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees then said to one another, “You see that you can do nothing; look, the world has gone after him.”
Some Greeks Wish to See Jesus
20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Beth-sa′ida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip and they told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.
Jesus Speaks about His Death
27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out; 32 and I, when I am lifted up[c] from the earth, will draw all men to myself.” 33 He said this to show by what death he was to die. 34 The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?” 35 Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”
The Unbelief of the People
When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him; 38 it was that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
“Lord, who has believed our report,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they could not believe. For Isaiah again said,
40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart,
lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their heart,
and turn for me to heal them.”
41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Summary of Jesus’ Teaching
44 And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me.”
