John 12:1-50

NLT | Greek NT | Matchup | Interlinear | Reverse-Interlinear

12:1 Six days before the Passover celebration began , Jesus arrived in Bethany , the home of Lazarus — the man he had raised from the dead . 2 A dinner was prepared in Jesus' honor . Martha served , and Lazarus was among those who ate * with him . 3 Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar * of expensive perfume made from essence of nard , and she anointed Jesus' feet with it , wiping his feet with her hair . The house was filled with the fragrance . 4 But Judas Iscariot , the disciple who would soon betray him , said , 5 “ That perfume was worth a year’s wages . * It should have been sold and the money given to the poor . ” 6 Not that he cared for the poor — he was a thief , and since he was in charge of the disciples' money , he often stole some for himself . 7 Jesus replied , “ Leave her alone . She did this in preparation for my burial . 8 You will always have the poor among you , but you will not always have me . ” 9 When all the people * heard of Jesus' arrival , they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus , the man Jesus had raised from the dead . 10 Then the leading priests decided to kill Lazarus , too , 11 for it was because of him that many of the people had deserted them * and believed in Jesus . 12 The next day , the news that Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem swept through the city . A large crowd of Passover visitors 13 took palm branches and went down the road to meet him . They shouted , “ Praise God ! * Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD ! Hail to the King of Israel ! ” * 14 Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it , fulfilling the prophecy that said : 15 “ Don’t be afraid , people of Jerusalem . * Look , your King is coming , riding on a donkey’s colt . ” * 16 His disciples didn’t understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy . But after Jesus entered into his glory , they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him . 17 Many in the crowd had seen Jesus call Lazarus from the tomb , raising him from the dead , and they were telling others * about it . 18 That was the reason so many went out to meet him — because they had heard about this miraculous sign . 19 Then the Pharisees said to each other , “ There’s nothing we can do . Look , everyone * has gone after him ! ” 20 Some Greeks who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover celebration 21 paid a visit to Philip , who was from Bethsaida in Galilee . They said , “ Sir , we want to meet Jesus . ” 22 Philip told Andrew about it , and they went together to ask Jesus . 23 Jesus replied , “ Now the time has come for the Son of Man * to enter into his glory . 24 I tell you the truth , unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies , it remains alone . But its death will produce many new kernels — a plentiful harvest of new lives . 25 Those who love their life in this world will lose it . Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity . 26 Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me , because my servants must be where I am . And the Father will honor anyone who serves me . 27 “ Now my soul is deeply troubled . Should I pray , ‘ Father , save me from this hour ’ ? But this is the very reason I came ! 28 Father , bring glory to your name . ” Then a voice spoke from heaven , saying , “ I have already brought glory to my name , and I will do so again . ” 29 When the crowd heard the voice , some thought it was thunder , while others declared an angel had spoken to him . 30 Then Jesus told them , “ The voice was for your benefit , not mine . 31 The time for judging this world has come , when Satan , the ruler of this world , will be cast out . 32 And when I am lifted up from the earth , I will draw everyone to myself . ” 33 He said this to indicate how he was going to die . 34 The crowd responded , “ We understood from Scripture * that the Messiah would live forever . How can you say the Son of Man will die ? Just who is this Son of Man , anyway ? ” 35 Jesus replied , “ My light will shine for you just a little longer . Walk in the light while you can , so the darkness will not overtake you . Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going . 36 Put your trust in the light while there is still time ; then you will become children of the light . ” After saying these things , Jesus went away and was hidden from them . 37 But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done , most of the people still did not believe in him . 38 This is exactly what Isaiah the prophet had predicted : “ LORD , who has believed our message ? To whom has the LORD revealed his powerful arm ? ” * 39 But the people couldn’t believe , for as Isaiah also said , 40 “ The Lord has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts — so that their eyes cannot see , and their hearts cannot understand , and they cannot turn to me and have me heal them . ” * 41 Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he said this , because he saw the future and spoke of the Messiah’s glory . 42 Many people did believe in him , however , including some of the Jewish leaders . But they wouldn’t admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue . 43 For they loved human praise more than the praise of God . 44 Jesus shouted to the crowds , “ If you trust me , you are trusting not only me , but also God who sent me . 45 For when you see me , you are seeing the one who sent me . 46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world , so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark . 47 I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me , for I have come to save the world and not to judge it . 48 But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken . 49 I don’t speak on my own authority . The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it . 50 And I know his commands lead to eternal life ; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say . ”

1 ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς πρὸ ἓξ ἡμερῶν τοῦ πάσχα , ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθανίαν , ὅπου ἦν Λάζαρος -- ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν Ἰησοῦς . 2 ἐποίησαν οὖν αὐτῷ δεῖπνον ἐκεῖ · καὶ ἡ Μάρθα διηκόνει , ὁ δὲ Λάζαρος εἷς ἦν ἐκ τῶν ἀνακειμένων σὺν αὐτῷ . 3 ἡ οὖν Μαριὰμ λαβοῦσα λίτραν μύρου νάρδου πιστικῆς πολυτίμου , ἤλειψεν τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ , καὶ ἐξέμαξεν ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ . ἡ δὲ οἰκία ἐπληρώθη ἐκ τῆς ὀσμῆς τοῦ μύρου . 4 λέγει δὲ , Ἰούδας ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης εἷς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ , ὁ μέλλων αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι , 5 Διὰ τί τοῦτο τὸ μύρον οὐκ ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς ; 6 εἶπεν δὲ τοῦτο οὐχ ὅτι περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἔμελεν αὐτῷ -- ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι κλέπτης ἦν , καὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον ἔχων , τὰ βαλλόμενα ἐβάσταζεν . 7 εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς , ̓Άφες αὐτήν · ἵνα εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνταφιασμοῦ μου τηρήσῃ αὐτό . 8 τοὺς πτωχοὺς γὰρ πάντοτε ἔχετε μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν , ἐμὲ δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε . 9 ἔγνω οὖν ὁ ὄχλος πολὺς ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐστίν , καὶ ἦλθαν οὐ διὰ τὸν Ἰησοῦν μόνον ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον ἴδωσιν , ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν . 10 ἐβουλεύσαντο δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἵνα , καί , τὸν Λάζαρον ἀποκτείνωσιν , 11 ὅτι πολλοὶ δι᾽ αὐτὸν ὑπῆγον τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ ἐπίστευον εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν . 12 τῇ ἐπαύριον , ὁ ὄχλος πολὺς ὁ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν , ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ἔρχεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα 13 ἔλαβον τὰ βαί̈α τῶν φοινίκων καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν αὐτῷ . καὶ ἐκραύγαζον , Ὡσαννά . εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου · καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ . 14 εὑρὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὀνάριον ἐκάθισεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτό , καθώς ἐστιν γεγραμμένον · 15 Μὴ φοβοῦ , θυγάτηρ Σιών · ἰδού , ὁ βασιλεύς σου ἔρχεται , καθήμενος ἐπὶ πῶλον ὄνου . 16 ταῦτα οὐκ ἔγνωσαν αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ τὸ πρῶτον · ἀλλ᾽ ὅτε ἐδοξάσθη Ἰησοῦς , τότε ἐμνήσθησαν ὅτι ταῦτα ἦν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ γεγραμμένα καὶ ταῦτα ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ . 17 ἐμαρτύρει οὖν ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ὢν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὅτε τὸν Λάζαρον ἐφώνησεν ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου , καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν . 18 διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος -- ὅτι ἤκουσαν τοῦτο αὐτὸν πεποιηκέναι τὸ σημεῖον . 19 οἱ οὖν Φαρισαῖοι εἶπαν πρὸς ἑαυτούς , Θεωρεῖτε ὅτι οὐκ ὠφελεῖτε οὐδέν · ἴδε , ὁ κόσμος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν . 20 ἦσαν δὲ ̔Έλληνές τινες ἐκ τῶν ἀναβαινόντων ἵνα προσκυνήσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ 21 οὗτοι οὖν προσῆλθαν Φιλίππῳ , τῷ ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας . καὶ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες , Κύριε , θέλομεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἰδεῖν . 22 ἔρχεται ὁ Φίλιππος καὶ λέγει τῷ Ἀνδρέᾳ , ἔρχεται Ἀνδρέας καὶ Φίλιππος καὶ λέγουσιν τῷ Ἰησοῦ . 23 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων , Ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου . 24 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν , ἐὰν μὴ ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου πεσὼν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἀποθάνῃ , αὐτὸς μόνος μένει · ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ πολὺν καρπὸν φέρει . 25 ὁ φιλῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἀπολλύει αὐτήν . καὶ ὁ μισῶν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον φυλάξει αὐτήν . 26 ἐὰν ἐμοί τις διακονῇ , ἐμοὶ ἀκολουθείτω , καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ἐκεῖ καὶ ὁ διάκονος ὁ ἐμὸς ἔσται · ἐάν τις ἐμοὶ διακονῇ τιμήσει αὐτὸν ὁ πατήρ . 27 νῦν ἡ ψυχή μου τετάρακται . καὶ τί εἴπω , Πάτερ , σῶσόν με ἐκ τῆς ὥρας ταύτης ; ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ὥραν ταύτην · 28 Πάτερ , δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα . ἦλθεν οὖν φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ , Καὶ ἐδόξασα , καὶ πάλιν δοξάσω . 29 ὁ οὖν ὄχλος ὁ ἑστὼς καὶ ἀκούσας ἔλεγεν , βροντὴν γεγονέναι , ἄλλοι ἔλεγον ἄγγελος αὐτῷ λελάληκεν . 30 ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς , Οὐ δι᾽ ἐμὲ ἡ φωνὴ αὕτη γέγονεν , ἀλλὰ δι᾽ ὑμᾶς . 31 νῦν κρίσις ἐστὶν τοῦ κόσμου τούτου , νῦν ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου , ἐκβληθήσεται ἔξω · 32 κἀγὼ ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς , πάντας ἑλκύσω πρὸς ἐμαυτόν . 33 τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγεν σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ ἤμελλεν ἀποθνῄσκειν . 34 ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ ὄχλος , Ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὅτι ὁ Χριστὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα · καὶ πῶς λέγεις σὺ ὅτι δεῖ ὑψωθῆναι τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ; τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ; 35 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς , ̓Έτι μικρὸν χρόνον τὸ φῶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστίν . περιπατεῖτε ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε , ἵνα μὴ σκοτία ὑμᾶς καταλάβῃ . καὶ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει . 36 ὡς τὸ φῶς ἔχετε πιστεύετε εἰς τὸ φῶς · ἵνα υἱοὶ φωτὸς γένησθε . ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν Ἰησοῦς , καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἐκρύβη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν . 37 τοσαῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ σημεῖα πεποιηκότος ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν , οὐκ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν . 38 ἵνα ὁ λόγος Ἠσαί̈ου τοῦ προφήτου πληρωθῇ ὃν εἶπεν · Κύριε , τίς ἐπίστευσεν τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν ; καὶ ὁ βραχίων κυρίου τίνι ἀπεκαλύφθη ; 39 διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἠδύναντο πιστεύειν , ὅτι πάλιν εἶπεν Ἠσαί̈ας , 40 Τετύφλωκεν αὐτῶν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ ἐπώρωσεν αὐτῶν τὴν καρδίαν -- ἵνα μὴ ἴδωσιν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς , καὶ νοήσωσιν τῇ καρδίᾳ , καὶ στραφῶσιν καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς . 41 ταῦτα εἶπεν Ἠσαί̈ας ὅτι εἶδεν τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ , καὶ ἐλάλησεν περὶ αὐτοῦ . 42 ὅμως μέντοι , καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν , ἀλλὰ διὰ τοὺς Φαρισαίους οὐχ ὡμολόγουν ἵνα μὴ ἀποσυνάγωγοι γένωνται . 43 ἠγάπησαν γὰρ τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ . 44 Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἔκραξεν καὶ εἶπεν , Ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ , οὐ πιστεύει εἰς ἐμέ , ἀλλὰ εἰς τὸν πέμψαντά με . 45 καὶ ὁ θεωρῶν ἐμέ , θεωρεῖ τὸν πέμψαντά με . 46 ἐγὼ φῶς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐλήλυθα , ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ μὴ μείνῃ . 47 καὶ ἐάν τίς μου ἀκούσῃ τῶν ῥημάτων καὶ μὴ φυλάξῃ ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω αὐτόν , οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον ἵνα κρίνω τὸν κόσμον ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα σώσω τὸν κόσμον . 48 ὁ ἀθετῶν ἐμὲ καὶ μὴ λαμβάνων τὰ ῥήματά μου ἔχει τὸν κρίνοντα αὐτόν ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησα ἐκεῖνος κρινεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ . 49 ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐξ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλάλησα : ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πέμψας με πατὴρ αὐτός μοι ἐντολὴν δέδωκεν τί εἴπω καὶ τί λαλήσω . 50 καὶ οἶδα ὅτι ἡ ἐντολὴ αὐτοῦ ζωὴ αἰώνιός ἐστιν · ἃ οὖν ἐγὼ λαλῶ καθὼς εἴρηκέν μοι ὁ πατὴρ οὕτως λαλῶ .
