12 Jezusi, pra, gjashtë ditë përpara Pashkës, erdhii në Betani, ku banonte Llazari, ai që kishte vdekur dhe Jezusi e kishte ringjallur prej së vdekurish.
2 Dhe aty i shtruan një darkë: Marta shërbente dhe Llazari ishte një nga ata që rrinin në tryezë me të.
3 Atëherë Maria mori një liber vaj erëkëndshëm prej nardi të pastër shumë të kushtueshëm, vajosi me të këmbët e Jezusit dhe i fshiu këmbët e tij me flokët e saj; dhe shtëpia u mbush me erën e këtij vaji.
4 Atëherë një nga dishepujt e tij, Juda Iskarioti, bir i Simonit, ai që do ta tradhtonte, tha:
5 “Pse nuk u shit ky vaj për treqind denarë dhe t’u jepej fitimi të varfërve?.”
6 Por ai e tha këtë, jo se kujdesej për të varfrit, por sepse ishte vjedhës dhe, duke qenë se ai e mbante qesen, mbante ç’shtinin atje brenda.
7 Jezusi, pra, tha: “Lëre! Ajo e ka ruajtur për ditën e varrimit tim.
8 Të varfrit në fakt, i keni gjithmonë me ju, por mua nuk më keni gjithmonë.”
9 Ndërkaq një turmë e madhe Judenjsh mori vesh se ai ishte atje dhe erdhi jo vetëm për shkak të Jezusit, por edhe për të parë Llazarin, te cilin ai e kishte ngjallur prej së vdekurish.
10 Atëherë krerët e priftërinjve vendosën ta vrasin edhe Llazarin,
11 sepse për shkak të tij, shumë veta braktisnin Judenjtë dhe besonin në Jezusin.
12 Të nesërmen, një turmë e madhe që kishte ardhur në festë, kur dëgjoi se Jezusi po vinte në Jeruzalem,
13 mori degë palmash dhe i doli para, duke thirrur: “Hosana! Bekuar ai që vjen në emër të Zotit, mbreti i Izraelit!.”
14 Dhe Jezusi gjeti një kërriç dhe hipi në të, siç është shkruar:
15 “Mos druaj, o bijë e Sionit; ja, mbreti yt po vjen duke kalëruar mbi një kërriç gomareje!.”
16 Dishepujt e tij nuk i kuptuan për momentin këto gjëra, po, kur Jezusi ishte përlëvduar, atëherë u kujtuan se këto gjëra ishin shkruar për të, dhe që i kishin bërë këto gjëra për të.
17 Kështu turma, që ishte me të kur ai e kishte thirrur jashtë Llazarin nga varri dhe e kishte ringjallur prej së vdekuri, jepte dëshmi për të.
18 Prandaj turma i doli përpara, sepse kishte dëgjuar se ai kishte bërë këtë shenjë.
19 Atëherë farisenjtë thanë midis tyre: “A e shihni se s’po bëni asgjë; ja, bota shkon pas tij.”
20 Dhe midis atyre që ishin ngjitur për të adhuruar gjatë festës ishin edhe disa Grekë.
21 Ata, pra, iu afruan Filipit, që ishte nga Betsaida e Galilesë, dhe iu lutën duke thënë: “Zot, duam të shohim Jezusin.”
22 Filipi shkoi e ia tha Andreas; dhe përsëri Andrea dhe Filipi ia thanë Jezusit.
23 Por Jezusi u përgjigj atyre duke thënë: “Ora ka ardhur, në të cilën Biri i njeriut duhet të përlëvdohet,
24 Në të vërtetë, në të vërtetë po ju them: Nëse kokrra e grurit e rënë në dhe nuk vdes, ajo mbetet e vetme; por, po të vdesë, jep shumë fryt!
25 Kush e do jetën e vet do ta humbasë; dhe kush e urren jetën e vet në këtë botë, do ta ruajë për jetën e përjetshme.
26 Në qoftë se dikush më shërben, të më ndjekë; dhe ku jam unë, atje do të jetë dhe shërbëtori im; në qoftë se dikush më shërben, Ati im do ta nderojë.
27 Tani shpirti im është i tronditur dhe çfarë të them: O Atë, më shpëto nga kjo orë? Por për këtë unë kam ardhur në këtë orë.
28 O Atë, përlëvdo emrin tënd!” Atëherë një zë erdhi nga qielli: “E kam përlëvduar dhe do ta përlëvdoj akoma!.”
29 Turma, pra, që ishte e pranishme dhe e dëgjoi zërin, thoshte se qe një bubullimë. Të tjerë thoshnin: “Një engjëll i ka folur!.”
30 Dhe Jezusi u përgjigj dhe tha: “Ky zë nuk ka ardhur për mua, por për ju.
31 Tani është gjykimi i kësaj bote; tani do të hidhet jashtë princi i kësaj bote!
32 Dhe unë, kur të jem ngritur lart nga toka, do t’i tërheq të gjithë tek unë.”
33 Por ai i thoshte këto për të treguar nga ç’lloj vdekje duhet të vdiste.
34 Turma iu përgjigj: “Ne kemi dëgjuar nga ligji se Krishti mbetet përjetë; tani si mund të thuash ti se Biri i njeriut duhet të ngrihet lart? Kush është ky Bir i njeriut?.”
35 Atëherë Jezusi u tha atyre: “Drita është me ju edhe për pak kohë; ecni gjersa keni dritë, që të mos ju zërë errësira; kush ecën në errësirë nuk di se ku shkon.”
36 “Gjersa keni dritë, besoni në dritë, që të bëheni bij të dritës.” Këto gjëra tha Jezusi; pastaj u largua dhe u fsheh prej tyre.
37 Ndonëse kishte bërë shumë shenja para tyre, ata nuk besonin në të,
38 që të përmbushej fjala e profetit Isaia që tha: “Zot, kush i ka besuar predikimit tonë? Dhe kujt iu shfaq krahu i Zotit?.”
39 Prandaj ata nuk mund të besonin, sepse Isaia gjithashtu tha:
40 “Ai i ka verbuar sytë e tyre dhe i ka ngurtësuar zemrat e tyre, që të mos shohin me sy dhe të mos kuptojnë me zemër, të mos kthehen dhe unë të mos i shëroj.”
41 Këto gjëra tha Isaia, kur e pa lavdinë e tij dhe foli për të.
42 Megjithatë, edhe midis krerëve, shumë besuan në të; por, për shkak të farisenjve, nuk e rrëfenin, për të mos qenë të përjashtuar nga sinagoga,
43 sepse donin lavdinë e njerëzve më tepër, se lavdinë e Perëndisë.
44 Pastaj Jezusi thirri dhe tha: “Kush beson në mua, nuk beson në mua, por në atë që më ka dërguar.
45 Dhe kush më sheh mua, sheh atë që më ka dërguar.
46 Unë kam ardhur si drita për botën, që kushdo që beson në mua të mos mbetet në errësirë.
47 Dhe nëse ndokush i dëgjon fjalët e mia dhe nuk beson, unë nuk e gjykoj; sepse unë nuk kam ardhur ta gjykoj botën, por ta shpëtoj botën.
48 Kush më hedh poshtë dhe nuk i pranon fjalët e mia, ka kush e gjykon; fjala që kam shpallur do të jetë ajo që do ta gjykojë në ditën e fundit.
49 Sepse unë nuk kam folur nga vetja ime, por Ati vetë më ka dërguar dhe më ka urdhëruar ç’duhet të them e të shpall.
50 Dhe unë e di se urdhërimi i tij është jetë e përjetshme; gjërat, pra, që them unë, i them ashtu siç m’i ka thënë Ati.”

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.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Binuhusan ng Pabango si Jesus(A)
12 Anim na araw bago dumating ang Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel, pumunta si Jesus sa Betania, kung saan nakatira si Lazarus na muli niyang binuhay. 2 Kaya naghanda sila roon ng hapunan para kay Jesus. Si Lazarus ay isa sa kasalo ni Jesus sa pagkain. Si Marta ang nagsilbi sa kanila. 3 Kumuha si Maria ng kalahating litro ng purong pabango na gawa sa halamang nardo na mamahaling pabango. Ibinuhos niya ito sa paa ni Jesus at pinunasan ng kanyang buhok. At humalimuyak ang pabango sa buong bahay. 4 Ang isa sa mga tagasunod ni Jesus na naroon ay si Judas Iscariote na magtatraydor sa kanya. Sinabi ni Judas, 5 “Isang taon na sweldo ang halaga ng pabangong iyan. Bakit hindi na lang iyan ipinagbili, at ibigay sa mahihirap ang pera?” 6 Sinabi niya ito, hindi dahil nagmamalasakit siya sa mga mahihirap kundi dahil isa siyang magnanakaw. Bilang tagapag-ingat ng pera nila, madalas niya itong kinukupitan. 7 Pero sinabi ni Jesus, “Hayaan mo siya. Ibinuhos niya ito sa katawan ko bilang paghahanda sa aking libing.[a] 8 Lagi nʼyong nakakasama ang mga mahihirap, pero akoʼy hindi nʼyo laging makakasama.”
Ang Planong Pagpatay kay Lazarus
9 Maraming Judio ang nakabalita na nasa Betania si Jesus. Kaya nagpuntahan sila roon, hindi lang dahil kay Jesus kundi upang makita rin si Lazarus na muli niyang binuhay. 10 Kaya binalak din ng mga namamahalang pari na ipapatay si Lazarus, 11 dahil siya ang dahilan kaya maraming Judio ang humihiwalay na sa kanila at sumasampalataya kay Jesus.
Ang Matagumpay na Pagpasok ni Jesus sa Jerusalem(B)
12 Kinabukasan, nabalitaan ng maraming tao na dumalo sa pista na papunta si Jesus sa Jerusalem. 13 Kaya kumuha sila ng mga palaspas at sinalubong si Jesus. Sumisigaw sila, “Purihin ang Dios! Pagpalain ang dumarating na ito sa pangalan ng Panginoon.[b] Pagpalain ang Hari ng Israel!” 14 Nakakita si Jesus ng isang batang asno at sinakyan niya ito, gaya ng nakasaad sa Kasulatan,
15 “Huwag kayong matakot, mga taga-Zion!
Makinig kayo! Paparating na ang inyong Hari
na nakasakay sa isang batang asno!”[c]
16 Hindi pa naiintindihan noon ng mga tagasunod ni Jesus ang ginawang iyon ng mga tao. Pero nang makabalik na si Jesus sa langit, saka lang nila naintindihan na iyon ang nakasaad sa Kasulatan.
17 Marami ang nakasaksi nang muling buhayin ni Jesus si Lazarus. At ipinamalita nila ang pangyayaring ito. 18 Kaya marami ang sumalubong kay Jesus, dahil nabalitaan nila ang ginawa niyang himala. 19 Dahil dito, nag-usap-usap ang mga Pariseo, “Tingnan ninyo, sumusunod na sa kanya ang lahat ng tao,[d] at wala tayong magawa!”
May mga Griegong Naghanap kay Jesus
20 May mga Griego ring pumunta sa Jerusalem upang sumamba sa Dios sa kapistahan. 21 Lumapit sila kay Felipe na taga-Betsaida sa probinsya ng Galilea. Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Gusto po sana naming makita si Jesus.” 22 Pinuntahan ni Felipe si Andres at sinabi sa kanya ang kahilingan ng mga Griego. Pagkatapos, pinuntahan nila si Jesus at ipinaalam ang kahilingan. 23 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Dumating na ang oras upang dakilain ako na Anak ng Tao. 24 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, malibang mamatay ang isang butil ng trigong itinanim sa lupa, mananatili itong nag-iisa. Ngunit kung mamatay, tutubo ito at mamumunga nang marami. 25 Ang taong labis na nagpapahalaga sa kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, ngunit ang hindi nanghihinayang sa buhay niya sa mundong ito alang-alang sa akin ay magkakaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. 26 Ang sinumang gustong maglingkod sa akin ay dapat sumunod sa akin, at kung nasaan ako naroon din dapat siya. Ang sinumang naglilingkod sa akin ay pararangalan ng Ama.”
Ipinahiwatig ni Jesus ang Kanyang Kamatayan
27 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Nababagabag ako ngayon. Sasabihin ko ba sa Ama na iligtas niya ako sa nalalapit na paghihirap? Hindi, dahil ito ang dahilan ng pagpunta ko rito.” 28 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus sa Ama, “Ama, ipakita nʼyo ang inyong kadakilaan.” Isang tinig mula sa langit ang sumagot, “Ipinakita ko na sa pamamagitan mo, at muli ko itong ipapakita.”
29 Nang marinig ng mga taong naroon ang tinig, sinabi nila, “Kumulog!” Pero sinabi naman ng iba, “Kinausap siya ng isang anghel.” 30 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang tinig na iyon ay ipinarinig hindi para sa akin kundi para sa kapakanan ninyo. 31 Dumating na ang paghatol sa mga tao sa mundo. Malulupig na si Satanas na siyang naghahari sa mundong ito. 32 At kapag itinaas na ako mula sa lupa, ilalapit ko ang lahat ng tao sa akin.” 33 (Sinabi ito ni Jesus upang ipahiwatig kung paano siya mamamatay.) 34 Sumagot ang mga tao sa kanya, “Nakasaad sa Kasulatan na ang Cristoʼy mabubuhay nang walang hanggan. Bakit mo sinasabing kailangang mamatay[e] ang Anak ng Tao? Sino ba ang Anak ng Tao na tinutukoy mo?” 35 Sumagot si Jesus, “Maikling panahon na lang ninyong makakasama ang ilaw. Kaya mamuhay kayo sa liwanag ng ilaw na ito habang narito pa, para hindi kayo abutan ng dilim. Sapagkat hindi alam ng naglalakad sa dilim kung saan siya papunta. 36 Kaya sumampalataya kayo sa akin na siyang ilaw ninyo habang narito pa ako, para maliwanagan ang isipan ninyo.”[f] Pagkasabi ni Jesus nito, umalis siya at nagtago sa kanila.
Ayaw Manampalataya ng mga Judio kay Jesus
37 Kahit na nakita ng mga Judio ang maraming himala na ginawa ni Jesus, hindi pa rin sila sumampalataya sa kanya. 38 Sa ganoon, natupad ang sinabi ni Propeta Isaias,
“Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming mensahe?
Sino sa mga pinakitaan mo ng iyong kapangyarihan ang sumampalataya?”[g]
39 Sinabi pa ni Isaias na kaya ayaw nilang sumampalataya ay dahil:
40 “Binulag ng Dios ang kanilang mga mata upang hindi sila makakita,
at isinara niya ang kanilang mga isip[h] upang hindi sila makaunawa,
dahil baka manumbalik pa sila sa kanya, at pagalingin niya sila.”[i]
41 Sinabi ito ni Isaias dahil nakita niya ang kadakilaan ni Jesus, at nagsalita siya tungkol sa kanya.
42 Ganoon pa man, maraming pinuno ng mga Judio ang sumampalataya kay Jesus. Pero inilihim nila ang kanilang pananampalataya dahil takot silang hindi na tanggapin ng mga Pariseo sa mga sambahan. 43 Sapagkat mas ginusto pa nilang purihin sila ng tao kaysa ng Dios.
Ang Salita ni Jesus ang Hahatol sa mga Tao
44 Nagsalita si Jesus nang malakas: “Ang sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi lang sa akin sumasampalataya kundi pati sa nagsugo sa akin. 45 At ang nakakita sa akin ay nakakita na rin sa nagsugo sa akin. 46 Naparito ako bilang ilaw ng mundo, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa akin ay hindi na manatili sa kadiliman. 47 Ang sinumang nakarinig ng aking mga aral pero hindi sumunod ay hahatulan, ngunit hindi ako ang hahatol sa kanya. Sapagkat hindi ako naparito sa mundo para hatulan ang mga tao kundi iligtas sila. 48 May ibang hahatol sa ayaw tumanggap sa akin at sa aking mga aral. Ang mga salitang ipinangaral ko ang hahatol sa kanila sa huling araw. 49 Sapagkat ang mga aral koʼy hindi galing sa sarili ko lang kundi galing sa Amang nagsugo sa akin. Siya ang nag-uutos kung ano ang sasabihin ko. 50 At alam ko na ang mga utos niya ay nagbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan. Kaya kung ano ang ipinasasabi ng Ama, iyon lang ang sinasabi ko.”

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)
