馬利亞用香膏膏主(A)

12 逾越節前六天,耶穌到了伯大尼,就是拉撒路所住的地方;耶穌曾經使這拉撒路從死人中復活。 有人在那裡為耶穌預備了筵席。馬大在那裡侍候,拉撒路也和一些人與耶穌一同吃飯。 馬利亞拿了半公斤珍貴純正的哪噠香膏,抹耶穌的腳,又用自己的頭髮去擦;屋裡就滿了香膏的香氣。 耶穌的一個門徒,就是那要出賣他的加略人猶大,說: “為甚麼不把這香膏賣三百銀幣,賙濟窮人呢?” 他說這話,並不是因為他關懷窮人,而是因為他是個賊,又帶著錢囊,常取其中所存的。 耶穌就說:“由她吧,這香膏是她留下來為我安葬的日子用的。 你們常常有窮人跟你們在一起,卻不常有我。”

有一大群猶太人知道耶穌在那裡,就都來了,然而他們不單是為了耶穌的緣故,也是要看看耶穌使他從死人中復活的拉撒路。 10 於是祭司長想把拉撒路也殺掉, 11 因為有許多猶太人為了拉撒路的緣故,離開他們,信了耶穌。

騎驢進耶路撒冷(B)

12 第二天,有一大群上來過節的人,聽見耶穌要來耶路撒冷, 13 就拿著棕樹枝出去迎接他,歡呼說:

“和散那,

奉主名來的以色列王,

是應當稱頌的!”

14 耶穌找到一頭小驢,就騎在上面,正如經上所記的:

15 “錫安的居民哪,不要懼怕;

看哪,你的王來了,

他騎著小驢來了。”

16 門徒起初不明白這些事,可是到耶穌得了榮耀以後,他們才想起這些話是指著他說的,並且人們果然向他這樣行了。 17 那些和耶穌在一起,看見他叫拉撒路從墳墓出來,又使他從死人中復活的群眾,都為這事作見證。 18 群眾因為聽見他行了這神蹟,就去迎接他。 19 於是法利賽人彼此說:“你們看,你們都是徒勞無功,世人都去跟隨他了!”

主被舉起來就吸引萬人

20 上去過節作禮拜的人中,有些是希臘人。 21 他們來到加利利的伯賽大人腓力那裡,請求他,說:“先生,我們想見耶穌。” 22 腓力去告訴安得烈,安得烈就和腓力去告訴耶穌。 23 耶穌對他們說:“人子得榮耀的時候到了! 24 我實實在在告訴你們,一粒麥子若不落在地裡死了,仍舊是一粒;如果死了,就結出許多果實來。 25 愛惜自己生命的,就喪掉生命;在這世上恨惡自己生命的,必會保全生命到永遠。 26 如果有人服事我,就應當跟從我;我在哪裡,服事我的人也會在哪裡;如果有人服事我,我父必尊重他。

27 “我現在心裡煩亂,我應該說甚麼呢?說‘父啊,救我脫離這時刻’嗎?然而我正是為了這個緣故來的,要面對這時刻。 28 父啊,願你榮耀你的名!”當時有聲音從天上來,說:“我已經榮耀了我的名,還要再榮耀。” 29 站在旁邊的群眾聽見了,就說:“打雷了。”另外有人說:“有天使對他說話。” 30 耶穌說:“這聲音不是為了我,而是為了你們發出的。 31 現在是這世界受審判的時候了,現在這世界的王要被趕出去。 32 我若從地上被舉起來,就要吸引萬人歸向我。” 33 他說這話,是指著自己將要怎樣死說的。 34 於是群眾對他說:“我們從律法上知道基督是永遠常存的,你怎麼說‘人子必須被舉起來’呢?這人子是誰呢?” 35 耶穌說:“光在你們中間的時間不多了。你們應當趁著有光的時候行走,免得黑暗追上你們。在黑暗中行走的人,不知道往哪裡去。 36 你們應當趁著有光的時候信從這光,使你們成為光明的兒女。”

主的道要審判不信的人

耶穌說完了這些話,就離開他們隱藏起來。 37 耶穌在他們面前行了許多神蹟,但是他們仍然不信他。 38 這是要應驗以賽亞先知所說的話:

“主啊,我們所傳的,有誰信呢?

主的膀臂向誰顯露呢?”

39 他們不能相信,因為以賽亞又說:

40 “ 神使他們瞎了眼,硬了心,

免得他們眼睛看見,

心裡明白而回轉過來;

我就醫好他們。”

41 以賽亞說這些話,是因為看見了他的榮耀,就指著他說的。 42 雖然這樣,官長當中也有許多人信了耶穌。但是因為法利賽人的緣故,他們不敢公開承認,免得被趕出會堂; 43 因為他們愛來自人的榮耀,過於愛來自 神的榮耀。

44 耶穌大聲說:“信我的,不單是信我,也是信那差我來的。 45 看見我的,就是看見那差我來的。 46 我是光,我到世上來,叫所有信我的不住在黑暗裡。 47 人若聽見我的話卻不遵守的,我不審判他,因為我來不是要審判世人,而是要拯救世人。 48 棄絕我又不接受我的話的人,自有審判他的。我所講的道在末日要定他的罪; 49 因為我沒有憑著自己說話,而是差我來的父給了我命令,要我說甚麼,講甚麼。 50 我知道他的命令就是永生。所以,我所講的,正是父吩咐我要我講的。”

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. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served,(D) while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 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.

But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him,(G) objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b] 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.

“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.(I) You will always have the poor among you,[c](J) but you will not always have me.”

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 he who comes in the name of the Lord!”[e](P)

“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(Q)

14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:

15 “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion;
    see, your king is coming,
    seated on a donkey’s colt.”[f](R)

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:

“Lord, who has believed our message
    and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”[h](AZ)

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)

Pinahiran ng Pabango si Jesus sa Betania(A)

12 Anim na araw bago magpaskuwa ay pumunta si Jesus sa Betania, na kinaroroonan ni Lazaro, na muling binuhay ni Jesus mula sa mga patay.

Siya'y ipinaghanda nila roon ng isang hapunan. Si Marta ay naglilingkod, at si Lazaro ay isa sa nakaupo[a] sa may hapag-kainan na kasalo niya.

Si(B) Maria ay kumuha ng isang libra[b] ng mamahaling pabango mula sa purong nardo at pinahiran ang mga paa ni Jesus, at pinunasan ang mga paa nito ng kanyang mga buhok. At ang bahay ay napuno ng amoy ng pabango.

Subalit si Judas Iscariote, isa sa kanyang mga alagad na magkakanulo sa kanya, ay nagsabi,

“Bakit hindi ipinagbili ang pabangong ito ng tatlong daang denario,[c] at ibinigay sa mga dukha?”

Ngunit ito'y sinabi niya, hindi dahil nagmamalasakit siya sa mga dukha, kundi sapagkat siya'y isang magnanakaw. At palibhasa'y nasa kanya ang supot ay kinukuha niya ang inilalagay doon.

Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus, “Hayaan ninyo siya. Inilaan niya ito sa araw ng paglilibing sa akin.

Sapagkat(C) ang mga dukha ay laging nasa inyo; ngunit ako'y hindi laging nasa inyo.”

Sabwatan Laban kay Lazaro

Nang malaman ng maraming mga Judio na siya'y naroroon, sila'y pumunta hindi dahil kay Jesus lamang, kundi upang makita nila si Lazaro, na muling binuhay mula sa mga patay.

10 Kaya't pinanukala ng mga punong pari na kanilang patayin din si Lazaro,

11 sapagkat dahil sa kanya'y marami sa mga Judio ang umaalis at naniniwala kay Jesus.

Matagumpay na Pagpasok sa Jerusalem(D)

12 Kinabukasan, nang mabalitaan ng maraming taong dumalo sa pista na si Jesus ay darating sa Jerusalem,

13 sila'y(E) kumuha ng mga palapa ng puno ng palma, at lumabas upang sumalubong sa kanya, na sumisigaw, “Hosana! Mapalad siya na dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon, ang Hari ng Israel.”

14 Nakakita si Jesus ng isang batang asno, at sumakay siya roon, gaya ng nasusulat,

15 “Huwag(F) kang matakot, anak na babae ng Zion, tingnan mo, ang iyong Hari ay dumarating, na nakasakay sa isang anak ng asno.”

16 Sa simula ang mga bagay na ito ay hindi naunawaan ng kanyang mga alagad. Ngunit nang si Jesus ay niluwalhati na, saka nila naalala na ang mga bagay na ito ay sinulat tungkol sa kanya, at nangyari ang mga bagay na ito sa kanya.

17 Kaya't ang maraming tao na kasama niya, nang tawagin niya si Lazaro mula sa libingan, at siya'y buhayin mula sa mga patay, ay siyang nagpapatunay.

18 Ang dahilan kung bakit ang maraming tao ay sumalubong sa kanya ay sapagkat nabalitaan nila na ginawa niya ang tandang ito.

19 Sinabi ng mga Fariseo sa isa't isa, “Tingnan ninyo, wala kayong magagawa. Ang sanlibutan ay sumusunod sa kanya.”

Hinanap ng Ilang Griyego si Jesus

20 Kabilang sa mga umahon upang sumamba sa kapistahan ay ilang mga Griyego.

21 Ang mga ito'y lumapit kay Felipe, na taga-Bethsaida ng Galilea, at sinabi sa kanya, “Ginoo, ibig sana naming makita si Jesus.”

22 Umalis si Felipe at sinabi kay Andres. Sumama si Andres kay Felipe, at kanilang sinabi kay Jesus.

23 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Dumating na ang oras upang ang Anak ng Tao ay luwalhatiin.

24 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, maliban na ang butil ng trigo ay mahulog sa lupa at mamatay, ito ay mananatiling nag-iisa. Ngunit kung ito'y mamatay, ay nagbubunga ng marami.

25 Ang(G) umiibig sa kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, at ang napopoot sa kanyang buhay sa sanlibutang ito ay maiingatan ito para sa buhay na walang hanggan.

26 Kung ang sinuman ay maglilingkod sa akin ay dapat sumunod sa akin, at kung saan ako naroroon, ay naroroon din ang lingkod ko. Kung ang sinuman ay maglilingkod sa akin, siya'y pararangalan ng Ama.

Nagsalita si Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan

27 “Ngayon ay nababagabag ang aking kaluluwa. At ano ang aking sasabihin? ‘Ama, iligtas mo ako sa oras na ito?’ Ngunit dahil dito ay dumating ako sa oras na ito.

28 Ama, luwalhatiin mo ang iyong pangalan.” At dumating ang isang tinig mula sa langit, “Niluwalhati ko na, at muli kong luluwalhatiin.”

29 Narinig ito ng maraming taong nakatayo roon at sinabi nilang kumulog. Sinabi naman ng iba na, “Isang anghel ang nakipag-usap sa kanya.”

30 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang tinig na ito'y dumating para sa inyo, hindi para sa akin.

31 Ngayon ang paghatol sa sanlibutang ito. Ngayon ang pinuno ng sanlibutang ito ay palalayasin.

32 At ako, kapag ako'y itinaas na mula sa lupa, ang lahat ng mga tao ay papalapitin ko sa aking sarili.”

33 Ito'y sinabi niya, upang ipahiwatig kung sa anong uri ng kamatayan ang ikamamatay niya.

34 Sinagot(H) siya ng mga tao, “Aming narinig mula sa kautusan na ang Cristo ay nananatili magpakailanman. Paano mong nasabi na ang Anak ng Tao ay kailangang itaas? Sino itong Anak ng Tao?”

35 Kaya't sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Ang ilaw ay kasama ninyo ng kaunti pang panahon. Kayo'y lumakad habang nasa inyo ang ilaw, upang huwag kayong abutin ng dilim. Ang lumalakad sa dilim ay hindi nalalaman kung saan siya tutungo.

36 Samantalang nasa inyo ang ilaw, sumampalataya kayo sa ilaw, upang kayo'y maging mga anak ng ilaw.” Nang masabi ni Jesus ang mga bagay na ito siya'y umalis at nagtago sa kanila.

37 Bagama't gumawa siya sa harapan nila ng maraming mga tanda, sila ay hindi naniwala sa kanya;

38 upang(I) matupad ang sinabi ni propeta Isaias:

“Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming balita?
At kanino nahayag ang bisig ng Panginoon?”

39 Kaya't hindi sila makapaniwala, sapagkat sinabi rin ni Isaias,

40 “Binulag(J) niya ang kanilang mga mata,
    at pinatigas niya ang kanilang mga puso;
upang sila'y huwag makakita sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga mata,
    at makaunawa sa pamamagitan ng kanilang puso, at magbalik-loob,
at sila'y pagalingin ko.”

41 Ang mga bagay na ito'y sinabi ni Isaias, sapagkat nakita niya ang kanyang kaluwalhatian, at nagsalita tungkol sa kanya.

42 Gayunman, maging sa mga pinuno ay maraming sumampalataya sa kanya; subalit dahil sa takot sa mga Fariseo ay hindi nila ito ipinahayag, baka sila'y mapalayas sa sinagoga,

43 sapagkat inibig nila ang papuri ng mga tao kaysa papuri ng Diyos.

Paghatol sa Pamamagitan ng mga Salita ni Jesus

44 Si Jesus ay sumigaw at nagsabi, “Ang sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi sa akin sumasampalataya, kundi doon sa nagsugo sa akin.

45 At ang nakakita sa akin ay nakakita doon sa nagsugo sa akin.

46 Ako'y naparito na isang ilaw sa sanlibutan, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa akin ay huwag manatili sa kadiliman.

47 Kung ang sinuman ay nakikinig sa aking mga salita, at hindi tumutupad ng mga iyon ay hindi ko siya hinahatulan, sapagkat hindi ako naparito upang humatol sa sanlibutan, kundi upang iligtas ang sanlibutan.

48 Ang nagtatakuwil sa akin at hindi tumatanggap sa aking mga salita ay mayroong isang humahatol sa kanya. Ang salitang aking sinabi ang siyang hahatol sa kanya sa huling araw.

49 Sapagkat ako'y hindi nagsasalita mula sa aking sarili kundi ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ay siyang nagbigay sa akin ng utos, kung ano ang dapat kong sabihin, at kung ano ang dapat kong bigkasin.

50 Nalalaman ko na ang kanyang utos ay buhay na walang hanggan. Kaya't ang mga bagay na sinasabi ko ay aking sinasabi ayon sa sinabi ng Ama.”

12 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

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.

Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

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.

Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

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.
