John 12

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.	1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised fromthe dead.
2 And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.	2 They gave a dinner for him there; Martha waited on them and Lazarus was among those at table.
3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.	3 Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus,wiping them with her hair; the house was fil ed with the scent of the ointment.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:	4 Then Judas Iscariot -- one of his disciples, the man who was to betray him-said,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?	5 'Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denari and the money given to the poor?'
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.	6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was in charge of thecommon fund and used to help himself to the contents.
7 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.	7 So Jesus said, 'Leave her alone; let her keep it for the day of my burial.
8 For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.	8 You have the poor with you always, you wil not always have me.'
9 A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.	9 Meanwhile a large number of Jews heard that he was there and came not only on account of Jesusbut also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:	10 Then the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus as well,
11 Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.	11 since it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them and believing in Jesus.
12 And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,	12 The next day the great crowd of people who had come up for the festival heard that Jesus was on hisway to Jerusalem.
13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.	13 They took branches of palm and went out to receive him, shouting: 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who iscoming in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.'
14 And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:	14 Jesus found a young donkey and mounted it -- as scripture says:
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.	15 Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion; look, your king is approaching, riding on the foal of a donkey.
16 These things his disciples did not know 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.	16 At first his disciples did not understand this, but later, after Jesus had been glorified, theyremembered that this had been written about him and that this was what had happened to him.
17 The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.	17 The crowd who had been with him when he cal ed Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from thedead kept bearing witness to it;
18 For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.	18 this was another reason why the crowd came out to receive him: they had heard that he had giventhis sign.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.	19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, 'You see, you are making no progress; look, the whole worldhas gone after him!'
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.	20 Among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks.
21 These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.	21 These approached Philip, who came from Bethsaida in Galilee, and put this request to him, 'Sir, weshould like to see Jesus.'
22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.	22 Philip went to tell Andrew, and Andrew and Philip together went to tel Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.	23 Jesus replied to them: Now the hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
24 Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,	24 In all truth I tell you, unless a wheat grain fal s into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain;but if it dies it yields a rich harvest.
25 Itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal.	25 Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world wil keep it for eternal life.
26 If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.	26 Whoever serves me, must fol ow me, and my servant wil be with me wherever I am. If anyone servesme, my Father wil honour him.
27 Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.	27 Now my soul is troubled. What shal I say: Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this veryreason that I have come to this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.	28 Father, glorify your name! A voice came from heaven, 'I have glorified it, and I wil again glorify it.'
29 The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.	29 The crowd standing by, who heard this, said it was a clap of thunder; others said, 'It was an angelspeaking to him.'
30 Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.	30 Jesus answered, 'It was not for my sake that this voice came, but for yours.
31 Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.	31 'Now sentence is being passed on this world; now the prince of this world is to be driven out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.	32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shal draw al people to myself.'
33 (Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)	33 By these words he indicated the kind of death he would die.
34 The multitude 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?	34 The crowd answered, 'The Law has taught us that the Christ wil remain for ever. So how can yousay, "The Son of man must be lifted up"? Who is this Son of man?'
35 Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.	35 Jesus then said: The light wil be with you only a little longer now. Go on your way while you have thelight, or darkness wil overtake you, and nobody who walks in the dark knows where he is going.
36 Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid himself from them.	36 While you stil have the light, believe in the light so that you may become children of light. Having saidthis, Jesus left them and was hidden from their sight.
37 And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:	37 Though they had been present when he gave so many signs, they did not believe in him;
38 That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?	38 this was to fulfil the words of the prophet Isaiah: Lord, who has given credence to what they haveheard from us, and who has seen in it a revelation of the Lord's arm?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again:	39 Indeed, they were unable to believe because, as Isaiah says 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.	40 He has blinded their eyes, he has hardened their heart, to prevent them from using their eyes to see,using their heart to understand, changing their ways and being healed by me.
41 These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.	41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory, and his words referred to Jesus.
42 However, many of the chief men also believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue.	42 And yet there were many who did believe in him, even among the leading men, but they did not admitit, because of the Pharisees and for fear of being banned from the synagogue:
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.	43 they put human glory before God's glory.
44 But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.	44 Jesus declared publicly: Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in the one who sent me,
45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.	45 and whoever sees me, sees the one who sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.	46 I have come into the world as light, to prevent anyone who believes in me from staying in the darkany more.
47 And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.	47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them faithful y, it is not I who shal judge such a person,since I have come not to judge the world, but to save the world:
48 He that despiseth 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.	48 anyone who rejects me and refuses my words has his judge already: the word itself that I havespoken wil be his judge on the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.	49 For I have not spoken of my own accord; but the Father who sent me commanded me what to sayand what to speak,
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.	50 and I know that his commands mean eternal life. And therefore what the Father has told me is what Ispeak.
