1 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead {man} Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among {the} dead.

2 There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.

3 Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4 One of his disciples therefore, Judas {son} of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,

5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?

6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into {it}.

7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;

8 for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.

9 A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among {the} dead.

10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,

11 because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.

12 On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,

13 took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed {is} he that comes in the name of {the} Lord, the King of Israel.

14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,

15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

16 {Now} his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.

17 The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among {the} dead.

18 Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.

19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.

20 And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;

21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.

22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, {and again} Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.

23 But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.

25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.

26 If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be *my* servant. {And} if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.

27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.

28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify {it} again.

29 The crowd therefore, which stood {there} and heard {it}, said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.

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 out of the earth, will draw all to me.

33 But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.

34 The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who *is* this, the Son of man?

35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.

37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,

38 that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,

40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.

41 These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

42 Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess {him}, that they might not be put out of the synagogue:

43 for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.

44 But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;

45 and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.

46 I am come into the world {as} light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;

47 and if any one hear my words and do not keep {them}, I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;

50 and I know that his commandment is life eternal. What therefore I speak, as the Father has said to me, so I speak.

1 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 "为什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。

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! "

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, 我应该说什么呢?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。"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 因为他们爱人的荣耀, 过于爱 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, 要我说什么, 讲什么。

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。"
