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。”

Gibuboan ni Maria ug Pahumot ang Tiil ni Jesus

(Mat. 26:6-13; Mar. 14:3-9)

12 Unya, sa dihang unom na lang ka adlaw una moabot ang pista, miadto si Jesus sa Betania, sa lugar ni Lazaro nga iyang gibanhaw. Nagaandam silag panihapon alang kang Jesus. Si Lazaro usa sa mga kauban ni Jesus nga nagkaon diha sa lamisa. Si Marta mao ang nagsilbi. Unya si Maria mikuha ug mga tunga sa litrong mahalong pahumot nga gikan sa tanom nga nardo. Gibubo niya kini sa tiil ni Jesus. Pagkahuman gitrapohan niya sa iyang buhok. Ug nalukop ang tibuok balay sa kahumot niadtong pahumot. Usa sa mga kauban ni Jesus didto mao si Judas Iscariote, nga mao ang magluib kaniya. Miingon si Judas, “Ang bili nianang pahumot mga usa gayod ka tuig nga sweldo sa usa ka tawo. Nganong wala man kana ibaligya ug ang halin ipanghatag ngadto sa mga kabos?” Gisulti niya kini, dili tungod kay nalooy siya sa mga kabos, kondili tungod kay kawatan siya. Siya mao ang nagakupot sa ilang kuwarta ug nagapangawkaw siya niini. Apan miingon si Jesus, “Pasagdi siya! Ipatago lang kaniya ang nahibilin nga pahumot aron itagana sa akong lubong. Ang mga kabos kanunay ninyong ikauban, apan ako dili ninyo kanunayng ikauban.”

Ang Plano nga Patyon si Lazaro

Daghang mga Judio ang nakabalita nga didto si Jesus sa Betania, busa nangadto sila didto. Nangadto sila dili lang tungod kang Jesus, kondili gusto usab nila nga makita si Lazaro nga iyang gibanhaw. 10 Busa giplano sa kadagkoan sa mga pari nga patyon usab si Lazaro, 11 kay tungod kaniya, daghan sa mga Judio ang namiya kanila ug nagtuo kang Jesus.

Ang Madaogon nga Pagsulod ni Jesus sa Jerusalem

(Mat. 21:1-11; Mar. 11:1-11; Luc. 19:28-40)

12 Pagkasunod adlaw, nabalitaan sa daghang mga tawo nga mitambong sa pista nga si Jesus nagpadulong na sa Jerusalem. 13 Busa nagkuha silag mga dahon sa palmera ug gitagbo nila si Jesus, ug naninggit, “Dayegon ta ang Dios! Gipanalanginan sa Ginoo ang iyang pinadala![a] Dayegon ta ang Hari sa Israel!” 14 Nakakaplag si Jesus ug usa ka nating asno ug iya kining gisakyan. Sa iyang gihimo natuman ang giingon sa Dios sa Kasulatan nga nagaingon:

15 “Kamo nga mga taga-Zion,
ayaw kamo kahadlok,
Tungod kay ang inyong hari nagaabot,
nga nagasakay sa nating asno.”[b]

16 Niadtong panahona, ang mga tinun-an ni Jesus wala pa makasabot kon unsa ang kahulogan niadtong mga nangahitabo. Apan sa dihang mibalik na si Jesus sa langit, ayha pa nila nahinumdoman nga ang gihimo niadtong mga tawo mao gayod diay ang nahisulat sa Kasulatan.

17 Daghang mga tawo ang nakakita sa pagtawag ug pagbanhaw ni Jesus kang Lazaro gikan sa iyang lubnganan. Ug kini nga mga tawo namalita sa nahitabo. 18 Busa daghang mga tawo ang misugat kang Jesus, tungod kay nabalitaan nila kadtong milagro nga iyang gibuhat. 19 Busa nagsultihanay ang mga Pariseo, “Tan-awa ninyo, ang tanang mga tawo nagsunod na kaniya. Wala na gayod kitay mahimo!”

May mga Griego nga Nangita kang Jesus

20 May mga Griego usab nga nangabot sa Jerusalem aron motambong sa pista ug mosimba sa Dios. 21 Nangadto sila kang Felipe nga taga-Betsaida. Kini nga dapit sakop sa Galilea. Miingon ang mga Griego, “Gusto unta namo nga makigkita kang Jesus.” 22 Gisultihan ni Felipe si Andres ug silang duha nangadto kang Jesus aron sultihan siya. 23 Miingon dayon si Jesus kanila, “Karon miabot na ang higayon nga mapasidunggan ang Anak sa Tawo. 24 Sultihan ko kamo sa tinuod, kon ang usa ka binhi dili ilubong sa yuta, kana magpabilin lang gayod nga usa ka binhi. Apan kon ilubong ug mamatay, motubo kini ug mamungag daghan.[c] 25 Ang tawo nga hilabihan ang paghigugma sa iyang kinabuhi kawad-an hinuon niini, apan ang dili manghinugon sa iyang kinabuhi tungod kanako makaangkon sa kinabuhi nga walay kataposan. 26 Si bisan kinsa nga buot mag-alagad kanako kinahanglan mosunod kanako, aron nga kon asa ako atua usab ang akong sulugoon. Ang tawo nga nagaalagad kanako pasidunggan sa Amahan.”

Misulti si Jesus bahin sa Iyang Kamatayon

27 Miingon pa gayod si Jesus, “Karon naglibog ako. Unsa ba ang akong isulti? Moingon ba ako sa Amahan nga dili na lang niya ako paantuson? Apan mao kini ang katuyoan sa akong pag-anhi dinhi, nga mag-antos sa mga kasakit niining panahona.” 28 Miingon dayon si Jesus sa Amahan, “Amahan, ipakita ang imong gahom sa mga tawo.” Ug dayon may tingog gikan sa langit nga nagaingon, “Gipakita ko na pinaagi kanimo, ug ipakita ko pa pag-usab.”

29 Ang mga tawo nga nanambong didto nakadungog sa maong tingog. Nagaingon sila, “Midalogdog!” Apan ang uban nagaingon, “Nakigsulti kaniya ang anghel!” 30 Apan miingon si Jesus kanila, “Gipadungog kadto sa Dios dili alang kanako kondili alang kaninyo. 31 Sukad karon hukman na niya ang mga tawo sa kalibotan. Ug malupig na niya si Satanas nga mao ang nagagahom niining kalibotan. 32 Ug kon bayawon na gani ako gikan sa yuta, paduolon ko ang tanang mga tawo ngari kanako.” 33 (Sa iyang pagsulti niadto, gisulti niya kon unsa nga matang sa kamatayon ang iyang pagaantuson.) 34 Mitubag ang mga tawo kaniya, “Sumala sa Kasugoan magakinabuhi ang Cristo sa walay kataposan. Busa nganong nagaingon ka man nga ang Anak sa Tawo kinahanglan nga mamatay? Kinsa man gayod kanang Anak sa Tawo nga imong gi-ingon?” 35 Gitubag sila ni Jesus, “Hapit nang mawala ang suga diha sa inyong taliwala. Busa samtang ania pa kini pagkinabuhi kamo diha niini nga suga, kay basin kon maabtan kamo sa kangitngit. Kay ang nagalakaw diha sa kangitngit dili makahibalo kon asa siya nagapadulong. 36 Busa tuohi ninyo ako nga mao ang suga samtang ania pa ako uban kaninyo, aron malamdagan ang inyong huna-huna.”[d]

Dili Motuo ang mga Judio kang Jesus

Human siya mosulti niadto milakaw siya ug mitago gikan kanila. 37 Bisan nakakita na gayod sila sa daghang mga milagro nga gipangbuhat ni Jesus, wala gihapon sila motuo kaniya. 38 Busa napamatud-an ang giingon ni Propeta Isaias:

“Ginoo, walay mituo sa among gibalita.
Wala sila masayod nga gipakita mo na kanila ang imong gahom.”[e]

39-40 Miingon pa gayod si Isaias:

“Gibutaan sila sa Dios aron dili sila makakita, ug gitakpan niya ang ilang mga huna-huna aron dili sila makasabot,
kay basin pag mobalik sila ngadto sa Dios ug ayohon niya sila.”[f]

Busa mao kini ang hinungdan kon nganong wala sila motuo kang Jesus. 41 Gisulti kadto ni Isaias tungod kay nakita niya ang gahom ni Jesus ug naghisgot siya mahitungod kaniya.

42 Apan bisan pa niana, daghang kadagkoan sa mga Judio ang mituo kang Jesus. Apan wala lang sila magpadayag sa ilang pagtuo tungod kay nahadlok sila nga dili na sila pasudlon sa mga Pariseo diha sa mga sinagoga sa mga Judio. 43 Kay gipalabi man nila ang pagdayeg sa mga tawo kaysa pagdayeg sa Dios.

Ang Pulong ni Jesus maoy Mohukom sa Tawo

44 Misulti si Jesus sa makusog, “Kon ang tawo magtuo kanako, dili lang ako ang iyang gituohan kondili nagatuo usab siya sa nagpadala kanako. 45 Ang nakakita kanako nakakita usab sa nagpadala kanako. 46 Mianhi ako dinhi sa kalibotan sa paglamdag sa huna-huna sa mga tawo, aron nga si bisan kinsa nga magtuo kanako dili magpabilin sa kangitngit. 47 Kon may nakadungog sa akong mga gipanudlo apan dili motuman niini, dili ako ang mohukom kaniya nga silotan. Kay wala ako moanhi dinhi sa kalibotan aron hukman ang mga tawo kondili aron luwason sila. 48 Adunay maghukom sa mga tawo nga nagasalikway kanako ug dili modawat sa akong mga gipanudlo; ang mga pulong nga akong gipanudlo mao ang maghukom kanila sa kataposang adlaw! 49 Kay ang akong mga gipanudlo dili gikan kanako kondili gikan sa Amahan nga nagpadala kanako. Siya mao ang nagsugo kanako kon unsa ang akong itudlo. 50 Ug nahibalo ako nga ang iyang mga sugo, nga iyang giingon kanako nga akong itudlo, nagahatag ug kinabuhi nga walay kataposan. Busa ginasulti ko kaninyo ang tanan nga iyang gipasulti kanako.”

The Anointing at Bethany(A)

12 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, (B)where Lazarus was [a]who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. (C)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. Then (D)Mary took a pound of very costly oil of (E)spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

But one of His disciples, (F)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and (G)had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial. For (H)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”

The Plot to Kill Lazarus

Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, (I)whom He had raised from the dead. 10 (J)But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, 11 (K)because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

The Triumphal Entry(L)

12 (M)The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:

“Hosanna!
(N)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!”

14 (O)Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

15 “Fear(P) 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; (R)but when Jesus was glorified, (S)then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

17 Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. 18 (T)For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, (U)“You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”

The Fruitful Grain of Wheat

20 Now there (V)were certain Greeks among those (W)who came up to worship at the feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, (X)who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them, saying, (Y)“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, (Z)unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much [d]grain. 25 (AA)He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him (AB)follow Me; and (AC)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

27 (AD)“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? (AE)But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify Your name.”

(AF)Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

30 Jesus answered and said, (AG)“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now (AH)the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, (AI)if I am [e]lifted up from the earth, will draw (AJ)all peoples to Myself.” 33 (AK)This He said, signifying by what death He would die.

34 The people answered Him, (AL)“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

35 Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer (AM)the light is with you. (AN)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; (AO)he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become (AP)sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and (AQ)was hidden from them.

Who Has Believed Our Report?

37 But although He had done so many (AR)signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:

(AS)“Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

40 “He(AT) has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts,
(AU)Lest they should see with their eyes,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”

41 (AV)These things Isaiah said [f]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

Walk in the Light

42 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but (AW)because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 (AX)for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44 Then Jesus cried out and said, (AY)“He who believes in Me, (AZ)believes not in Me (BA)but in Him who sent Me. 45 And (BB)he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 (BC)I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not [g]believe, (BD)I do not judge him; for (BE)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 (BF)He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—(BG)the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For (BH)I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, (BI)what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I (BJ)speak.”

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.
