约翰福音 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
马利亚用香膏抹主
12 逾越节前六日,耶稣来到伯大尼,就是他叫拉撒路从死里复活之处。 2 有人在那里给耶稣预备筵席,马大伺候,拉撒路也在那同耶稣坐席的人中。 3 马利亚就拿着一斤极贵的真哪哒香膏,抹耶稣的脚,又用自己的头发去擦,屋里就满了膏的香气。 4 有一个门徒,就是那将要卖耶稣的加略人犹大, 5 说:“这香膏为什么不卖三十两银子周济穷人呢?” 6 他说这话,并不是挂念穷人,乃因他是个贼,又带着钱囊,常取其中所存的。 7 耶稣说:“由她吧!她是为我安葬之日存留的。 8 因为常有穷人和你们同在,只是你们不常有我。”
9 有许多犹太人知道耶稣在那里,就来了,不但是为耶稣的缘故,也是要看他从死里所复活的拉撒路。 10 但祭司长商议连拉撒路也要杀了, 11 因有好些犹太人为拉撒路的缘故,回去信了耶稣。
主骑驴进耶路撒冷
12 第二天,有许多上来过节的人听见耶稣将到耶路撒冷, 13 就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他,喊着说:“和散那!奉主名来的以色列王是应当称颂的!” 14 耶稣得了一个驴驹,就骑上,如经上所记的说: 15 “锡安的民[a]哪,不要惧怕!你的王骑着驴驹来了。” 16 这些事门徒起先不明白,等到耶稣得了荣耀以后,才想起这话是指着他写的,并且众人果然向他这样行了。 17 当耶稣呼唤拉撒路,叫他从死复活出坟墓的时候,同耶稣在那里的众人就作见证。 18 众人因听见耶稣行了这神迹,就去迎接他。 19 法利赛人彼此说:“看哪,你们是徒劳无益,世人都随从他去了!”
20 那时,上来过节礼拜的人中,有几个希腊人。 21 他们来见加利利伯赛大的腓力,求他说:“先生,我们愿意见耶稣。” 22 腓力去告诉安得烈,安得烈同腓力去告诉耶稣。
耶稣向百姓末了的讲论
23 耶稣说:“人子得荣耀的时候到了。 24 我实实在在地告诉你们:一粒麦子不落在地里死了,仍旧是一粒;若是死了,就结出许多子粒来。 25 爱惜自己生命的,就失丧生命;在这世上恨恶自己生命的,就要保守生命到永生。 26 若有人服侍我,就当跟从我;我在哪里,服侍我的人也要在哪里。若有人服侍我,我父必尊重他。 27 我现在心里忧愁,我说什么才好呢?父啊,救我脱离这时候!但我原是为这时候来的。 28 父啊,愿你荣耀你的名!”当时就有声音从天上来说:“我已经荣耀了我的名,还要再荣耀。” 29 站在旁边的众人听见,就说:“打雷了。”还有人说:“有天使对他说话。”
主要吸引万人归己
30 耶稣说:“这声音不是为我,是为你们来的。 31 现在这世界受审判,这世界的王要被赶出去。 32 我若从地上被举起来,就要吸引万人来归我。” 33 耶稣这话原是指着自己将要怎样死说的。 34 众人回答说:“我们听见律法上有话说基督是永存的,你怎么说人子必须被举起来呢?这人子是谁呢?” 35 耶稣对他们说:“光在你们中间还有不多的时候,应当趁着有光行走,免得黑暗临到你们。那在黑暗里行走的,不知道往何处去。 36 你们应当趁着有光,信从这光,使你们成为光明之子。”
应验以赛亚的预言
37 耶稣说了这话,就离开他们隐藏了。他虽然在他们面前行了许多神迹,他们还是不信他。 38 这是要应验先知以赛亚的话说:“主啊,我们所传的有谁信呢?主的膀臂向谁显露呢?” 39 他们所以不能信,因为以赛亚又说: 40 “主叫他们瞎了眼,硬了心,免得他们眼睛看见,心里明白,回转过来,我就医治他们。” 41 以赛亚因为看见他的荣耀,就指着他说这话。 42 虽然如此,官长中却有好些信他的,只因法利赛人的缘故,就不承认,恐怕被赶出会堂。 43 这是因他们爱人的荣耀过于爱神的荣耀。
信子就是信父
44 耶稣大声说:“信我的,不是信我,乃是信那差我来的。 45 人看见我,就是看见那差我来的。 46 我到世上来,乃是光,叫凡信我的不住在黑暗里。 47 若有人听见我的话不遵守,我不审判他。我来本不是要审判世界,乃是要拯救世界。 48 弃绝我、不领受我话的人,有审判他的,就是我所讲的道在末日要审判他。 49 因为我没有凭着自己讲,唯有差我来的父已经给我命令,叫我说什么、讲什么。 50 我也知道他的命令就是永生。故此,我所讲的话正是照着父对我所说的。”

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
在伯大尼被膏抹
12 逾越节前六天,耶稣来到[a]拉撒路所在的伯大尼,就是他使拉撒路从死人中复活的地方。 2 有些人在那里为耶稣预备晚餐,玛妲正伺候着。拉撒路也在与耶稣坐席的人当中。 3 这时候,玛丽亚拿了一斤[b]极其贵重的纯哪哒香液,膏抹耶稣的脚,又用自己的头发擦干,屋子里就充满了香液的气味。
4 他的一个门徒,就是后来要出卖耶稣的那个加略人犹大却说: 5 “为什么不把这香液卖三百个银币[c]去分给穷人呢?” 6 他说这话,并不是因为顾念穷人,而是因为他是个贼。他管钱包,常常拿走其中所存的。
7 耶稣说:“由她吧!她是为我安葬的日子而保存的。 8 要知道,你们总是有穷人与你们在一起,但你们不总是有我。”
决定杀害拉撒路
9 有一大群犹太人知道耶稣在那里,就来了。他们不仅是为了耶稣的缘故,也是为了看拉撒路,就是耶稣使他从死人中复活的那个人。 10 于是祭司长们就商议,连拉撒路也要杀掉, 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。
光荣进圣城
12 第二天,一大群上来过节的人听说耶稣要来到耶路撒冷, 13 就拿着棕榈树枝出去迎接他,欢呼说:
“和散那!
奉主名而来的那一位,
以色列的王啊,
是蒙祝福的!”[d]
14 耶稣找来一头驴驹,骑在上面,正如经上所记: 15 “锡安的女儿啊,不要怕!看哪,你的王骑着驴驹来了!”[e]
16 耶稣的门徒们当初不明白这些事,等到耶稣得了荣耀以后,才想起这些话是指着他写的,人们果然向他做了这些事。 17 当耶稣呼唤拉撒路从坟墓中出来,使他从死人中复活的时候,那些与耶稣在一起的众人就见证了这件事。 18 众人之所以也去迎接他,是因为他们听说他行了这神迹。
19 于是法利赛人互相说:“可见你们真没用!看,这世界都跟随他去了。”
预言受难
20 当时,上来过节敬拜的人中,有一些希腊人。 21 这些人来到加利利的伯赛达人腓力那里,求他说:“先生,我们想见耶稣。”
22 腓力去告诉安得烈,安得烈和腓力就去告诉耶稣。 23 耶稣回答他们,说:“人子得荣耀的时候到了! 24 我确确实实地告诉你们:一粒麦子如果不落在地里死去,它仍然是一粒;如果死了,就结出很多子粒[f]来。 25 爱惜自己生命的,就失去生命;在这世上恨恶自己生命的,将保全生命到永生。 26 一个人如果要服事我,就当跟从我;我在哪里,我的仆人也将要在哪里。如果有人服事我,父将尊重他。
27 “现在我的灵魂烦扰。我该说什么呢?说‘父啊,救我脱离这时刻’吗?但我正是为了这时刻而来的。 28 父啊,愿你荣耀你的名[g]!”
这时候,有声音从天上传来:“我已经荣耀了我的名,还要再荣耀!”
29 站在那里的众人听见了,就说:“打雷了。”另有人说:“是天使在对他说话。”
30 耶稣就回答说:“这声音不是为我,而是为你们来的。 31 现在,是这世界受审判的时候了;现在,世界的那掌权者要被赶出去了。 32 至于我,当我从地上被举起来的时候,就会吸引所有的人归向我。” 33 耶稣说这话是指自己将要怎样死。
34 众人回答他:“我们从律法中听到,基督是永远长存的。你怎么说‘人子必须被举起来’呢?这‘人子’到底是谁?”
35 耶稣说:“光在你们当中的时候不多了。要趁着有光的时候行走,免得黑暗抓住你们!因为在黑暗里行走的人,不知道自己往哪里去。 36 你们要趁着有光的时候信这光,好使你们成为光明的儿女。”耶稣说了这些话,就离开他们被隐藏了。
应验以赛亚的预言
37 耶稣虽然在他们面前行了这么多神迹,他们仍然不信他。 38 这是为要应验先知以赛亚所说的话:
39 他们之所以不能相信,是因为以赛亚又说过:
40 “神使他们瞎了眼,
硬了心,
免得他们眼睛看见,
心里明白,
回转过来,
我就使他们痊愈。”[j]
41 以赛亚说了这些话,是因为看见了耶稣的荣耀[k],就讲论他的事。
42 不过甚至是首领当中也有许多信耶稣的。但是为了法利赛人的缘故,他们不敢承认,免得被赶出会堂, 43 这是因为他们喜爱人的荣耀,胜过喜爱神的荣耀。
耶稣宣告使命
44 耶稣喊着说:“信我的人,不是信我,而是信派我来的那一位。 45 谁看见我,就是看见派我来的那一位。 46 我就是光。我来到世上,好让所有信我的人不住在黑暗里。 47 如果有人听了我的话却不遵守[l],我不定他的罪;因为我来,不是为了定世人的罪,而是为了拯救世人。 48 拒绝我,又不接受我话的人,自有定他罪的:我所讲的话语,在末日要定他的罪。 49 这是因为我没有凭自己讲话,而是派我来的父给了我命令,要我说什么和讲什么。 50 我知道他的命令就是永恒的生命。所以我所讲的,正是照着父所告诉我的来讲的。”

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)

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.
John 12
New King James Version
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. 2 (C)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. 3 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.
4 But one of His disciples, (F)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, 5 “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for [b]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 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.
7 But Jesus said, “Let her alone; [c]she has kept this for the day of My burial. 8 For (H)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9 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.”
