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
Good News Translation
Jesus Is Anointed at Bethany(A)
12 Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, the man he had raised from death. 2 They prepared a dinner for him there, which Martha helped serve; Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at the table with Jesus. 3 (B)Then Mary took a whole pint of a very expensive perfume made of pure nard, poured it on Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house. 4 One of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot—the one who was going to betray him—said, 5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred silver coins[a] and the money given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would help himself from it.
7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone! Let her keep what she has for the day of my burial. 8 (C)You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me.”
The Plot against Lazarus
9 A large number of people heard that Jesus was in Bethany, so they went there, not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus too, 11 because on his account many Jews were rejecting them and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem(D)
12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the Passover Festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 (E)So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Praise God! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! God bless the King of Israel!”
14 Jesus found a donkey and rode on it, just as the scripture says,
15 (F)“Do not be afraid, city of Zion!
Here comes your king,
riding on a young donkey.”
16 His disciples did not understand this at the time; but when Jesus had been raised to glory, they remembered that the scripture said this about him and that they had done this for him.
17 The people who had been with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from death had reported what had happened. 18 That was why the crowd met him—because they heard that he had performed this miracle. 19 The Pharisees then said to one another, “You see, we are not succeeding at all! Look, the whole world is following him!”
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Some Greeks were among those who had gone to Jerusalem to worship during the festival. 21 They went to Philip (he was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and said, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew, and the two of them went and told Jesus. 23 Jesus answered them, “The hour has now come for the Son of Man to receive great glory. 24 I am telling you the truth: a grain of wheat remains no more than a single grain unless it is dropped into the ground and dies. If it does die, then it produces many grains. 25 (G)Those who love their own life will lose it; those who hate their own life in this world will keep it for life eternal. 26 Whoever wants to serve me must follow me, so that my servant will be with me where I am. And my Father will honor anyone who serves me.
Jesus Speaks about His Death
27 “Now my heart is troubled—and what shall I say? Shall I say, ‘Father, do not let this hour come upon me’? But that is why I came—so that I might go through this hour of suffering. 28 Father, bring glory to your name!”
Then a voice spoke from heaven, “I have brought glory to it, and I will do so again.”
29 The crowd standing there heard the voice, and some of them said it was thunder, while others said, “An angel spoke to him!”
30 But Jesus said to them, “It was not for my sake that this voice spoke, but for yours. 31 Now is the time for this world to be judged; now the ruler of this world will be overthrown. 32 When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to me.” (33 In saying this he indicated the kind of death he was going to suffer.)
34 (H)The crowd answered, “Our Law tells us that the Messiah will live forever. How, then, can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Jesus answered, “The light will be among you a little longer. Continue on your way while you have the light, so that the darkness will not come upon you; for the one who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. 36 Believe in the light, then, while you have it, so that you will be the people of the light.”
The Unbelief of the People
After Jesus said this, he went off and hid himself from them. 37 Even though he had performed all these miracles in their presence, they did not believe in him, 38 (I)so that what the prophet Isaiah had said might come true:
“Lord, who believed the message we told?
To whom did the Lord reveal his power?”
39 And so they were not able to believe, because Isaiah also said,
40 (J)“God has blinded their eyes
and closed their minds,
so that their eyes would not see,
and their minds would not understand,
and they would not turn to me, says God,
for me to heal them.”
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.
42 Even then, many Jewish authorities believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees they did not talk about it openly, so as not to be expelled from the synagogue. 43 They loved human approval rather than the approval of God.
Judgment by Jesus' Words
44 Jesus said in a loud voice, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in him who sent me. 45 Whoever sees me sees also him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. 47 If people hear my message and do not obey it, I will not judge them. I came, not to judge the world, but to save it. 48 Those who reject me and do not accept my message have one who will judge them. The words I have spoken will be their judge on the last day! 49 This is true, because I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has commanded me what I must say and speak. 50 And I know that his command brings eternal life. What I say, then, is what the Father has told me to say.”

Giovanni 12
La Bibbia della Gioia
«Non resterò con voi ancora per molto…»
12 Sei giorni prima di Pasqua, Gesù arrivò a Betania, dove abitava Lazzaro, lʼuomo che aveva resuscitato. 2 In onore di Gesù era stato preparato un banchetto. Marta serviva e Lazzaro sedeva a tavola vicino a Gesù. 3 Allora Maria prese un vaso di costoso profumo allʼessenza di nardo e lo versò sui piedi di Gesù, asciugandoli poi coi suoi capelli. Il profumo si sparse per tutta la casa.
4 Ma Giuda Iscariota, uno dei discepoli, quello che poi lo avrebbe tradito, disse: 5 «Quel profumo valeva un patrimonio. Si sarebbe dovuto vendere per dare il denaro ai poveri!» 6 Non che glʼimportasse dei poveri, ma, siccome era lui che teneva la cassa dei discepoli, spesso ne approfittava per uso personale!
7 Gesù rispose: «Lasciala stare. Maria lʼha fatto come preparativo per la mia sepoltura. 8 I poveri li potete sempre aiutare, mentre io non resterò con voi ancora per molto».
9 Quando la gente seppe che Gesù era a Betania, accorse a frotte, non solo per lui, ma anche per vedere Lazzaro che Gesù aveva resuscitato. 10 Allora i capi sacerdoti decisero di uccidere anche Lazzaro, 11 perché, vedendolo, molti li abbandonavano e credevano a Gesù.
La folla acclama Gesù
12 Il giorno dopo, corse voce per tutta la città che Gesù stava per arrivare a Gerusalemme. Unʼimmensa folla di pellegrini, venuti per la Pasqua, 13 prese dei rami di palma e gli andò incontro, gridando: «Evviva il Salvatore! Benedetto colui che viene nel nome del Signore, il re dʼIsraele!»
14 Gesù giunse cavalcando un asinello. Si avverava così la profezia che diceva: 15 «Non aver paura, popolo di Gerusalemme! Ecco il tuo re che viene, cavalcando un puledro dʼasina».
16 In quel momento i discepoli non capirono che così sʼavverava quella profezia, ma quando Gesù ritornò in cielo, sʼaccorsero che molte profezie delle Scritture si erano avverate proprio sotto i loro occhi!
17 Intanto, tra la folla, quelli che avevano assistito alla resurrezione di Lazzaro, lo raccontavano in giro. 18 Per questo tante persone andarono incontro a Gesù, perché avevano saputo di quel potente miracolo.
19 Allora i Farisei dissero fra loro: «Non cʼè niente da fare. Guardate: tutto il mondo gli corre dietro!»
20 Alcuni Greci, giunti a Gerusalemme per la Pasqua, 21 andarono da Filippo, che era di Betsaida, e gli dissero: «Signore, vorremmo conoscere Gesù…» 22 Filippo riferì la cosa ad Andrea, ed insieme andarono da Gesù.
23-24 Gesù rispose: «È giunta lʼora in cui devo essere glorificato». Poi aggiunse: «Debbo cadere e morire, come un seme di grano, gettato nei solchi di un campo. Se non muoio, resterò solo, un singolo seme. La mia morte, invece, produrrà tanti nuovi semi e darà un ricco raccolto di vite nuove. 25 Chi ama la propria vita, la perderà. Invece, chi è pronto a perdere la propria vita qui in terra, la salverà per lʼeternità.
26 Se qualcuno vuole servirmi, mi segua, perché dove sono io ci saranno anche quelli che mi servono. E se mi seguono, il Padre li ricompenserà. 27 Adesso la mia anima è turbata. Che dovrei dire: “Padre, salvami da ciò che mi aspetta!”? Ma se è proprio per questo che sono venuto! 28 Padre, glorifica ed onora il tuo nome!»
Una voce dal cielo disse: «Lʼho glorificato e lo glorificherò ancora». 29 Molte persone fra la folla udirono la voce ed alcuni di loro pensarono che fosse un tuono. Altri, invece, dicevano: «No, è stato un angelo che gli ha parlato!»
30 Allora Gesù spiegò: «Quella voce non era per me, ma per voi. 31 Per il mondo è giunto il tempo del giudizio, il tempo in cui Satana, principe di questo mondo, sta per essere cacciato. 32 E quando sarò innalzato dalla terra, attirerò tutti a me». 33 Parlava così per indicare di che morte doveva morire.
34 «Morire?» replicò la folla. «Dalle Scritture avevamo capito che il Messia non sarebbe mai morto! Perché allora dici che morirà? Di quale Messia stai parlando?»
35 E Gesù rispose: «La mia luce resterà con voi ancora per poco. Finché potete, camminate in questa luce, prima che vi sorprenda il buio. Allora sì che sarà troppo tardi per trovare la strada! 36 Finché avete la luce (cioè me stesso), prestatele fede e diventerete così figli della verità!» Detto questo, Gesù si allontanò e si nascose alla loro vista.
37 Nonostante tutti i miracoli che aveva fatto, la maggior parte della gente non voleva credere che Gesù fosse il Messia. 38 Si avverava così la profezia del profeta Isaia: «Signore, chi crederà alle nostre parole? Chi accetterà come prova i potenti miracoli di Dio?» 39 Non potevano credere perché, come aveva detto lo stesso profeta: 40 «Dio ha accecato i loro occhi e indurito i loro cuori, perché non possano vedere, né capire, né rivolgersi a me, perché io li guarisca». 41 Quando fece questa profezia, Isaia si riferiva a Gesù, perché aveva avuto una visione della sua gloria.
42 Tuttavia, molti, anche fra i capi giudei, credettero che Gesù fosse il Messia, ma non lo dicevano a nessuno, per paura che i Farisei li cacciassero dalla Sinagoga. 43 Infatti, tenevano più allʼapprovazione degli uomini, che a quella di Dio.
44-45 Gesù gridò alla folla: «Chi vede me, vede Dio che mi ha mandato.
46 Io sono la luce. Sono venuto in questo mondo perché chi crede in me non resti nelle tenebre. 47 Chi mi ascolta e non mi ubbidisce, io non lo giudico, perché sono venuto per salvare il mondo, non per giudicarlo. 48 Ma chi mi respinge e non accetta le mie parole, ha un giudice che lo aspetta: nel giorno del giudizio sarà giudicato secondo la verità che ho predicato. 49 Non vi ho esposto le mie idee, ma vi ho riferito ciò che il Padre mi ha ordinato dʼinsegnare. 50 Io so che i suoi insegnamenti portano alla vita eterna; perciò le cose che Dio mi ha ordinato di dire, io le dico tali e quali».
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)
