John 12
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Anointing at Bethany
12 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany(A) where Lazarus[a] was, the one Jesus had raised from the dead.(B) 2 So(C) they gave a dinner for him there; Martha(D) was serving them, and Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about half a litre of perfume, pure and expensive nard, anointed Jesus’s feet, and wiped his feet with her hair.(E) So the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot(F) (who was about to betray him), said, 5 ‘Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii[b](G) and given to the poor? ’ 6 He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief.(H) He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.
7 Jesus answered, ‘Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of my burial.(I) 8 For you always have the poor with you,(J) but you do not always have me.’
The Decision to Kill Lazarus
9 Then a large crowd of the Jews learned he was there. They came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the one he had raised from the dead.(K) 10 But the chief priests had decided to kill Lazarus also, 11 because he was the reason many of the Jews were deserting them[c] and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphal Entry
12 The(L) next day, when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 they took palm branches(M) and went out to meet him. They kept shouting:
14 Jesus found a young donkey(Q) and sat on it, just as it is written:
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him(T) and that they had done these things to him.
17 Meanwhile, the crowd, which had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb(U) and raised him from the dead, continued to testify.[f] 18 This is also why the crowd met him, because they heard he had done this sign. 19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look, the world has gone after him! ’(V)
Jesus Predicts His Crucifixion
20 Now some Greeks were among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 So they came to Philip,(W) who was from Bethsaida(X) in Galilee,(Y) and requested of him, ‘Sir,(Z) we want to see Jesus.’ 22 Philip went and told Andrew;(AA) then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied to them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man(AB) to be glorified. 24 Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat(AC) falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.(AD) 25 The one who loves his life will lose it,(AE) and the one who hates(AF) his life(AG) in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me. Where I am, there my servant(AH) also will be.(AI) If anyone serves me, the Father will honour(AJ) him.
27 ‘Now my soul is troubled. What should I say – Father, save me(AK) from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.’[g](AL)
Then a voice(AM) came from heaven:(AN) ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’(AO)
29 The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said, ‘An angel has spoken to him.’
30 Jesus responded, ‘This voice came, not for me, but for you.(AP) 31 Now is the judgement of this world.(AQ) Now the ruler of this world(AR) will be cast out.(AS) 32 As for me, if I am lifted up[h] from the earth I will draw all people to myself.’(AT) 33 He said this to indicate what kind of death he was about to die.(AU)
34 Then the crowd replied to him, ‘We have heard from the law that the Messiah will remain for ever.(AV) So how can you say, “The Son of Man(AW) must be lifted up”? Who is this Son of Man? ’
35 Jesus answered, ‘The light will be with you only a little longer.(AX) Walk while you have the light(AY) so that darkness doesn’t overtake you.(AZ) The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going.(BA) 36 While you have the light,(BB) believe in the light so that you may become children of light.’ Jesus said this, then went away and hid from them.(BC)
Isaiah’s Prophecies Fulfilled
37 Even though he had performed so many signs in their presence, they did not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfil(BD) the word of Isaiah(BE) the prophet, who said:[i]
39 This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:
40 He has blinded(BH) their eyes
and hardened their hearts,(BI)
so that they would not see with their eyes
or understand with their hearts,
and turn,(BJ)
and I would heal them.[k](BK)
41 Isaiah said these things because[l] he saw his glory(BL) and spoke about him.
42 Nevertheless, many did believe in him even among the rulers,(BM) but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, so that they would not be banned from the synagogue. 43 For they loved human praise(BN) more than praise from God.(BO)
A Summary of Jesus’s Mission
44 Jesus cried out, ‘The one who believes in me(BP) believes not in me, but in him who sent me. 45 And the one who sees me sees him(BQ) who sent me. 46 I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep(BR) them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world(BS) but to save the world.(BT) 48 The one who rejects me(BU) and doesn’t receive my sayings has this as his judge:[m] The word I have spoken will judge him on the last day.(BV) 49 For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father(BW) himself who sent me has given me a command to say everything I have said. 50 I know that his command is eternal life.(BX) So the things that I speak, I speak just as the Father has told me.’(BY)

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Binuhusan ng pabango si Jesus
12 Anim na araw bago ang Paskuwa nang magpunta si Jesus sa Betania, sa bahay ni Lazaro na binuhay niya mula sa mga patay. 2 Naghanda sila ng pagkain para kay Jesus. Nagsisilbi si Marta sa hapag kainan habang si Lazaro naman ay isa sa mga kasalo ni Jesus. 3 (A)Kumuha si Maria ng halos kalahating litro ng mamahaling pabango na gawa sa purong nardo. Ibinuhos niya ito sa mga paa ni Jesus at pinunasan ng kanyang buhok. Napuno ng halimuyak ng pabango ang buong bahay. 4 Subalit isa sa kanyang mga alagad, si Judas Iscariote, na siyang magkakanulo sa kanya ay nagsabi, 5 “Bakit hindi na lang ibinenta ang pabangong ito sa halagang tatlong daang denaryo at ibinigay sa mahihirap?” 6 Sinabi niya ito hindi dahil may malasakit siya sa mga dukha, kundi dahil siya ay magnanakaw. Siya ang nag-iingat ng supot ng salapi at kinukupitan niya ito. 7 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Hayaan mo siya. Pinaghahandaan lamang niya ang araw ng aking libing. 8 (B)Lagi ninyong kasama ang mga dukha, ngunit ako’y hindi ninyo laging makakasama.”
9 Nang malaman ng napakaraming Judio na naroon si Jesus, pumunta sila roon hindi lamang dahil kay Jesus, kundi upang makita rin nila si Lazaro na muli niyang binuhay. 10 Nagplano rin ang mga punong pari na patayin si Lazaro, 11 sapagkat siya ang dahilan kung bakit marami sa mga Judio ang lumalayo sa kanila at sumasampalataya kay Jesus.
Matagumpay na Pagpasok sa Jerusalem
12 Kinabukasan, nabalitaan ng napakaraming taong naroon sa pista na si Jesus ay pupunta sa Jerusalem. 13 (C)Kaya kumuha sila ng mga sanga ng puno ng palma at lumabas sila upang salubungin siya. Nagsigawan sila,
“Hosanna!
Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon,
ang Hari ng Israel!”
14 Nakita ni Jesus ang isang asno at sumakay siya rito. Gaya ng nasusulat,
15 (D)“Huwag kang matakot, anak na babae ng Zion.
Narito ang iyong hari,
dumarating na nakasakay sa batang asno!”
16 Noong una, hindi naunawaan ng mga alagad ni Jesus ang mga bagay na ito. Subalit nang siya ay luwalhatiin na, naalala nila na ang mga ito ay nakasulat tungkol sa kanya at ginawa nga sa kanya. 17 Kaya patuloy na nagpatotoo ang mga taong kasama niya noong tawagin niya si Lazaro mula sa libingan at muli itong binuhay. 18 Nabalitaan din nila na gumawa si Jesus ng ganitong himala, kaya't nagpunta sila para salubungin siya. 19 Dahil dito sinabi ng mga Fariseo sa isa't isa, “Wala tayong magagawa. Tingnan ninyo at sumusunod na sa kanya ang buong mundo.”
20 May mga Griyego ang kabilang doon sa mga nagpunta sa pista upang sumamba. 21 Lumapit sila kay Felipe na taga-Bethsaida ng Galilea at nakiusap sa kanya, “Ginoo, gusto sana naming makita si Jesus.” 22 Pinuntahan ni Felipe si Andres at sinabi ang tungkol dito. Pagkatapos, magkasama silang pumunta at sinabi ito kay Jesus. 23 Sumagot si Jesus, “Dumating na ang oras upang luwalhatiin ang Anak ng Tao. 24 Tandaan ninyo ito, malibang mahulog sa lupa at mamatay ang isang butil ng trigo, ito ay mananatiling butil; subalit kung ito'y mamatay, mamumunga ito nang sagana. 25 (E)Ang nagmamahal sa kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito at ang mga napopoot sa kanyang buhay sa sanlibutang ito ay mag-iingat nito tungo sa buhay na walang hanggan. 26 Ang sinumang naglilingkod sa akin ay dapat sumunod sa akin, at kung nasaan ako ay naroon din ang aking lingkod. Ang sinumang naglilingkod sa akin ay pararangalan ng Ama.
Ang Pagpapahiwatig ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan
27 “Ngayon, ang kaluluwa ko'y nababagabag. At ano'ng sasabihin ko? ‘Ama, iligtas mo ako sa oras na ito’? Ngunit ang oras na ito ang dahilan kung bakit naparito ako. 28 Ama, luwalhatiin mo ang iyong pangalan.” At isang tinig mula sa langit ang nagsabi, “Niluwalhati ko na ito, at muli kong luluwalhatiin.” 29 Narinig ito ng mga taong nakatayo roon at sinabi nilang kumulog. Ang iba naman ay nagsabing, “May anghel na kumausap sa kanya.” 30 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang tinig na ito'y dumating para sa inyo, at hindi para sa akin. 31 Ngayon na ang paghuhukom ng sanlibutang ito. Ngayon, ang pinuno ng sanlibutang ito ay palalayasin. 32 At ako, kapag naitaas na mula sa lupa, ilalapit ko ang mga tao sa akin.” 33 Sinabi niya ito upang ilarawan kung paano siya mamamatay. 34 (F)Sumagot ang mga tao, “Narinig namin mula sa kautusan na ang Cristo ay mananatili magpakailanman. Bakit mo sinasabing ang Anak ng Tao ay itataas? Sino ba itong Anak ng Tao?” 35 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Makakasama pa ninyo ang ilaw nang ilang sandali. Lumakad kayo habang kasama pa ninyo ang ilaw, upang sa gayo'y hindi kayo madaig ng kadiliman. Hindi nalalaman ng lumalakad sa dilim ang kanyang pupuntahan. 36 Habang kasama pa ninyo ang ilaw, sumampalataya kayo sa ilaw, upang kayo'y maging mga anak ng ilaw.” Pagkasabi nito, umalis si Jesus at nagtago sa kanila.
Ang Kawalan ng Pananampalataya ng mga Tao
37 Kahit na gumawa si Jesus ng maraming himala sa harap ng mga tao, hindi pa rin sila sumampalataya sa kanya. 38 (G)Ito ay katuparan ng sinabi ni propeta Isaias:
“Panginoon, sino ang naniwala sa aming balita,
at kanino nahayag ang bisig ng Panginoon?”
39 Hindi sila makapaniwala sapagkat sinabi rin ni Isaias,
40 (H)“Binulag niya ang kanilang mga mata
at pinatigas ang kanilang mga puso,
upang hindi makakita ang kanilang mga mata
at hindi makaunawa ang kanilang puso, o makapanumbalik,
upang pagalingin ko.”
41 Ang mga ito'y sinabi ni Isaias dahil nakita niya ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos at siya'y nagsalita tungkol sa kanya. 42 Gayunman, marami ang sumampalataya sa kanya, maging ang ilan sa mga pinuno. Subalit dahil sa mga Fariseo, hindi nila ito ipinaalam sa iba sa takot na palayasin sila sa sinagoga; 43 sapagkat mas ibig nila ang papuri mula sa tao kaysa papuring mula sa Diyos.
44 At pagkatapos, sumigaw si Jesus, “Ang sinumang sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi sa akin sumasampalataya kundi sa kanya na nagsugo sa akin. 45 At ang nakakikita sa akin ay nakakakita sa kanya na nagsugo sa akin. 46 Ako ang ilaw na dumating sa sanlibutan, upang ang sinumang sumampalataya sa akin ay hindi na manatili sa kadiliman. 47 Hindi ako ang humahatol sa sinumang nakikinig sa aking mga salita ngunit hindi sinusunod ang mga ito. Sapagkat naparito ako hindi upang hatulan ang sanlibutan, kundi upang iligtas ito. 48 May hukom na hahatol sa sinumang nagbabale-wala sa akin at hindi tumanggap ng aking salita; ang salitang sinabi ko ang hahatol sa kanya sa huling araw. 49 Sapagkat hindi galing sa akin ang sinasabi ko. Ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ang nagbigay sa akin ng utos kung ano ang aking sasabihin at bibigkasin. 50 At alam kong ang kanyang utos ay buhay na walang hanggan. Kaya, ang sinasabi ko ay sinabi sa akin ng Ama.”
