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。”

Mary Anoints Jesus at Bethany
12 Six days before (A)the Passover, (B)Jesus therefore came to Bethany, (C)where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 So they gave a dinner for him there. (D)Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with him at table. 3 (E)Mary therefore took a pound[a] of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii[b] and (F)given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. 7 Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it[c] for the day of my burial. 8 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 When the large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus[d] was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, (H)whom he had raised from the dead. 10 (I)So the chief priests made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, 11 because (J)on account of him many of the Jews were going away and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
12 The next day (K)the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of (L)palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, (M)“Hosanna! Blessed is (N)he who comes in the name of the Lord, even (O)the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15 (P)“Fear 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, but (R)when Jesus was glorified, then (S)they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 (T)The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him (U)was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, (V)“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, (W)the world has gone after him.”
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Now (X)among those who went up to worship at the feast were some (Y)Greeks. 21 So these came to (Z)Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told (AA)Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, (AB)“The hour has come (AC)for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AD)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (AE)Whoever loves his life loses it, and (AF)whoever (AG)hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must (AH)follow me; and (AI)where I am, there will my servant be also. (AJ)If anyone serves me, (AK)the Father will honor him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 (AL)“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, (AM)save me from (AN)this hour’? But (AO)for this purpose I have come to (AP)this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then (AQ)a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, (AR)“An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, (AS)“This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 (AT)Now is the judgment of this world; now will (AU)the ruler of this world (AV)be cast out. 32 And I, (AW)when I am lifted up from the earth, (AX)will draw (AY)all people to myself.” 33 He said this (AZ)to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that (BA)the Christ remains forever. How can you say that (BB)the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, (BC)“The light is among you (BD)for a little while longer. (BE)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness (BF)overtake you. (BG)The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (BH)sons of light.”
The Unbelief of the People
When Jesus had said these things, he departed and hid himself from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him, 38 (BI)so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
(BJ)“Lord, who has believed what he heard from us,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Therefore they (BK)could not believe. For again Isaiah said,
40 (BL)“He has blinded their eyes
and (BM)hardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”
41 Isaiah said these things because (BN)he saw his glory and (BO)spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless, (BP)many even of the authorities believed in him, but (BQ)for fear of the Pharisees they did not (BR)confess it, so that they would not be (BS)put out of the synagogue; 43 (BT)for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.
Jesus Came to Save the World
44 And Jesus cried out and said, (BU)“Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but (BV)in him who sent me. 45 And (BW)whoever (BX)sees me sees him who sent me. 46 (BY)I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone (BZ)hears my words and does not keep them, (CA)I do not judge him; for (CB)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (CC)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; (CD)the word that I have spoken will judge him (CE)on the last day. 49 For (CF)I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father (CG)who sent me has himself given me (CH)a 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 told me.”

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.”

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)

L'unzione di Betania
12 Sei giorni prima della Pasqua, Gesù andò a Betània, dove si trovava Lazzaro, che egli aveva risuscitato dai morti. 2 Equi gli fecero una cena: Marta serviva e Lazzaro era uno dei commensali. 3 Maria allora, presa una libbra di olio profumato di vero nardo, assai prezioso, cosparse i piedi di Gesù e li asciugò con i suoi capelli, e tutta la casa si riempì del profumo dell'unguento. 4 Allora Giuda Iscariota, uno dei suoi discepoli, che doveva poi tradirlo, disse: 5 «Perché quest'olio profumato non si è venduto per trecento denari per poi darli ai poveri?». 6 Questo egli disse non perché gl'importasse dei poveri, ma perché era ladro e, siccome teneva la cassa, prendeva quello che vi mettevano dentro. 7 Gesù allora disse: «Lasciala fare, perché lo conservi per il giorno della mia sepoltura. 8 I poveri infatti li avete sempre con voi, ma non sempre avete me».
9 Intanto la gran folla di Giudei venne a sapere che Gesù si trovava là, e accorse non solo per Gesù, ma anche per vedere Lazzaro che egli aveva risuscitato dai morti. 10 I sommi sacerdoti allora deliberarono di uccidere anche Lazzaro, 11 perché molti Giudei se ne andavano a causa di lui e credevano in Gesù.
Ingresso messianico di Gesù a Gerusalemme
12 Il giorno seguente, la gran folla che era venuta per la festa, udito che Gesù veniva a Gerusalemme, 13 prese dei rami di palme e uscì incontro a lui gridando:
Osanna!
Benedetto colui che viene nel nome del Signore,
il re d'Israele!
14 Gesù, trovato un asinello, vi montò sopra, come sta scritto:
15 Non temere, figlia di Sion!
Ecco, il tuo re viene,
seduto sopra un puledro d'asina.
16 Sul momento i suoi discepoli non compresero queste cose; ma quando Gesù fu glorificato, si ricordarono che questo era stato scritto di lui e questo gli avevano fatto. 17 Intanto la gente che era stata con lui quando chiamò Lazzaro fuori dal sepolcro e lo risuscitò dai morti, gli rendeva testimonianza. 18 Anche per questo la folla gli andò incontro, perché aveva udito che aveva compiuto quel segno. 19 I farisei allora dissero tra di loro: «Vedete che non concludete nulla? Ecco che il mondo gli è andato dietro!».
Gesù annunzia la sua glorificazione attraverso la morte
20 Tra quelli che erano saliti per il culto durante la festa, c'erano anche alcuni Greci. 21 Questi si avvicinarono a Filippo, che era di Betsàida di Galilea, e gli chiesero: «Signore, vogliamo vedere Gesù». 22 Filippo andò a dirlo ad Andrea, e poi Andrea e Filippo andarono a dirlo a Gesù. 23 Gesù rispose: «E' giunta l'ora che sia glorificato il Figlio dell'uomo. 24 In verità, in verità vi dico: se il chicco di grano caduto in terra non muore, rimane solo; se invece muore, produce molto frutto. 25 Chi ama la sua vita la perde e chi odia la sua vita in questo mondo la conserverà per la vita eterna. 26 Se uno mi vuol servire mi segua, e dove sono io, là sarà anche il mio servo. Se uno mi serve, il Padre lo onorerà. 27 Ora l'anima mia è turbata; e che devo dire? Padre, salvami da quest'ora? Ma per questo sono giunto a quest'ora! 28 Padre, glorifica il tuo nome». Venne allora una voce dal cielo: «L'ho glorificato e di nuovo lo glorificherò!».
29 La folla che era presente e aveva udito diceva che era stato un tuono. Altri dicevano: «Un angelo gli ha parlato». 30 Rispose Gesù: «Questa voce non è venuta per me, ma per voi. 31 Ora è il giudizio di questo mondo; ora il principe di questo mondo sarà gettato fuori. 32 Io, quando sarò elevato da terra, attirerò tutti a me». 33 Questo diceva per indicare di qual morte doveva morire. 34 Allora la folla gli rispose: «Noi abbiamo appreso dalla Legge che il Cristo rimane in eterno; come dunque tu dici che il Figlio dell'uomo deve essere elevato? Chi è questo Figlio dell'uomo?». 35 Gesù allora disse loro: «Ancora per poco tempo la luce è con voi. Camminate mentre avete la luce, perché non vi sorprendano le tenebre; chi cammina nelle tenebre non sa dove va. 36 Mentre avete la luce credete nella luce, per diventare figli della luce».
Gesù disse queste cose, poi se ne andò e si nascose da loro.
Conclusione: l'incredulità dei giudei
37 Sebbene avesse compiuto tanti segni davanti a loro, non credevano in lui; 38 perché si adempisse la parola detta dal profeta Isaia:
Signore, chi ha creduto alla nostra parola?
E il braccio del Signore a chi è stato rivelato?
39 E non potevano credere, per il fatto che Isaia aveva detto ancora:
40 Ha reso ciechi i loro occhi
e ha indurito il loro cuore,
perché non vedano con gli occhi
e non comprendano con il cuore, e si convertano
e io li guarisca!
41 Questo disse Isaia quando vide la sua gloria e parlò di lui. 42 Tuttavia, anche tra i capi, molti credettero in lui, ma non lo riconoscevano apertamente a causa dei farisei, per non essere espulsi dalla sinagoga; 43 amavano infatti la gloria degli uomini più della gloria di Dio.
44 Gesù allora gridò a gran voce: «Chi crede in me, non crede in me, ma in colui che mi ha mandato; 45 chi vede me, vede colui che mi ha mandato. 46 Io come luce sono venuto nel mondo, perché chiunque crede in me non rimanga nelle tenebre. 47 Se qualcuno ascolta le mie parole e non le osserva, io non lo condanno; perché non sono venuto per condannare il mondo, ma per salvare il mondo. 48 Chi mi respinge e non accoglie le mie parole, ha chi lo condanna: la parola che ho annunziato lo condannerà nell'ultimo giorno. 49 Perché io non ho parlato da me, ma il Padre che mi ha mandato, egli stesso mi ha ordinato che cosa devo dire e annunziare. 50 E io so che il suo comandamento è vita eterna. Le cose dunque che io dico, le dico come il Padre le ha dette a me».
