约翰福音 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。 2 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。 3 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。 4 耶穌的一個門徒，就是那要出賣他的加略人猶大，說： 5 “為甚麼不把這香膏賣三百銀幣，賙濟窮人呢？” 6 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。 7 耶穌就說：“由她吧，這香膏是她留下來為我安葬的日子用的。 8 你們常常有窮人跟你們在一起，卻不常有我。”
9 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。”
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.”

Mary Anoints Jesus with Costly Perfume
12 (A)Jesus, therefore, six days before (B)the Passover, came to (C)Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 So they made Him a supper there, and (D)Martha was serving; and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. 3 (E)Mary then took a [a]litra of (F)perfume of very costly pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But (G)Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was going to [b]betray Him, *said, 5 “Why was this perfume not sold for [c]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” 6 Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he (H)had the money box, he used to take from (I)what was put into it. 7 Therefore Jesus said, “Let her alone, so that she may keep it for (J)the day of My burial. 8 (K)For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”
9 Then the (L)large crowd from the Jews learned that He was there. And they came, not because of Jesus only, but that they might also see Lazarus, (M)whom He raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also; 11 because (N)on account of him (O)many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
12 On the next day (P)the large crowd who had come to (Q)the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “(R)Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the [d]Lord, even the (S)King of Israel.” 14 And Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written, 15 “(T)Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” 16 (U)These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus (V)was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him, and that they had done these things to Him. 17 So (W)the crowd, who was with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to bear witness about Him. 18 (X)For this reason also the crowd went and met Him, (Y)because they heard that He had done this [e]sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing; look, the world has gone after Him.”
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Now there were some (Z)Greeks among those who were going up to worship at (AA)the feast; 21 these then came to (AB)Philip, who was from (AC)Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip *came and *told (AD)Andrew; Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus. 23 And Jesus *answered them, saying, “(AE)The hour has come for the Son of Man to (AF)be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, (AG)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 (AH)He who loves his [f]life loses it, and he who (AI)hates his [g]life in this world will keep it to life eternal. 26 If anyone [h]serves Me, he must follow Me; and (AJ)where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone [i]serves Me, the Father will (AK)honor him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
27 “(AL)Now (AM)My soul has become dismayed; and what shall I say, ‘(AN)Father, (AO)save Me from (AP)this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 (AQ)Father, glorify Your name.” Then a (AR)voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “(AS)An angel has spoken to Him.” 30 Jesus answered and said, “(AT)This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sake. 31 (AU)Now judgment is upon this world; now (AV)the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, if I (AW)am lifted up from the earth, will (AX)draw all men to Myself.” 33 But He was saying this (AY)to indicate the kind of death by which He was about to die. 34 The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard from (AZ)the Law that (BA)the [j]Christ is to remain forever; and how do You say, ‘The (BB)Son of Man must be (BC)lifted up’? Who is this (BD)Son of Man?” 35 So Jesus said to them, “(BE)For a little while longer (BF)the Light is among you. (BG)Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who (BH)walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the Light, (BI)believe in the Light, so that you may become (BJ)sons of Light.”
These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and [k](BK)hid Himself from them. 37 But though He had done so many [l]signs before them, they still were not believing in Him, 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “[m](BL)Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the [n]Lord been revealed?” 39 For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, 40 “(BM)He has blinded their eyes and He (BN)hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and return and I heal them.” 41 These things Isaiah said because (BO)he saw His glory, and (BP)he spoke about Him. 42 Nevertheless (BQ)many even of (BR)the rulers believed in Him, but (BS)because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, [o]for fear that they would be (BT)put out of the synagogue; 43 (BU)for they loved the glory of men rather than the glory of God.
44 And Jesus cried out and said, “(BV)He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. 45 (BW)And he who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. 46 (BX)I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for (BY)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 (BZ)He who rejects Me and does not receive My words, has one who judges him; (CA)the word I spoke is what will judge him on (CB)the last day. 49 (CC)For I did not speak from Myself, but the Father Himself who sent Me (CD)has given Me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that (CE)His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak (CF)just as the Father has told Me.”
