Capítulo 12

¹Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

¹逾越節前六日，耶穌來到伯大尼，就是他叫拉撒路從死裡復活之處。

²So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining [at the] [table] with Him.

²有人在那裡給耶穌預備筵席；馬大伺候，拉撒路也在那同耶穌坐席的人中。

³Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of 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.

³馬利亞就拿著一斤極貴的真哪噠香膏，抹耶穌的腳，又用自己頭髮去擦，屋裡就滿了膏的香氣。

⁴But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said,

⁴有一個門徒，就是那將要賣耶穌的加略人猶大，

⁵'Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor [people]?'

⁵說：這香膏為甚麼不賣三十兩銀子賙濟窮人呢？

⁶Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.

⁶他說這話，並不是掛念窮人，乃因他是個賊，又帶著錢囊，常取其中所存的。

⁷Therefore Jesus said, 'Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.

⁷耶穌說：由他罷！他是為我安葬之日存留的。

⁸'For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.'

⁸因為常有窮人和你們同在，只是你們不常有我。

⁹The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

⁹有許多猶太人知道耶穌在那裡，就來了，不但是為耶穌的緣故，也是要看他從死裡所復活的拉撒路。

¹⁰But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;

¹⁰但祭司長商議連拉撒路也要殺了；

¹¹because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.

¹¹因有好些猶太人為拉撒路的緣故，回去信了耶穌。

¹²On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹²第二天，有許多上來過節的人聽見耶穌將到耶路撒冷，

¹³took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and [began] to shout, 'Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel.'

¹³就拿著棕樹枝出去迎接他，喊著說：和散那！奉主名來的以色列王是應當稱頌的！

¹⁴Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

¹⁴耶穌得了一個驢駒，就騎上，如經上所記的說：

¹⁵'FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT.'

¹⁵錫安的民（原文作女子）哪，不要懼怕！你的王騎著驢駒來了。

¹⁶These things His disciples did not understand 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這些事門徒起先不明白，等到耶穌得了榮耀以後才想起這話是指著他寫的，並且眾人果然向他這樣行了。

¹⁷So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify [about Him].

¹⁷當耶穌呼喚拉撒路，叫他從死復活出墳墓的時候，同耶穌在那裡的眾人就作見證。

¹⁸For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

¹⁸眾人因聽見耶穌行了這神蹟，就去迎接他。

¹⁹So the Pharisees said to one another, 'You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him.'

¹⁹法利賽人彼此說：看哪，你們是徒勞無益，世人都隨從他去了。

²⁰Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

²⁰那時，上來過節禮拜的人中，有幾個希利尼人。

²¹these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and [began to] ask him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus.'

²¹他們來見加利利伯賽大的腓力，求他說：先生，我們願意見耶穌。

²²Philip came and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.

²²腓力去告訴安得烈，安得烈同腓力去告訴耶穌。

²³And Jesus answered them, saying, 'The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

²³耶穌說：人子得榮耀的時候到了。

²⁴'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁴我實實在在的告訴你們，一粒麥子不落在地裡死了，仍舊是一粒，若是死了，就結出許多子粒來。

²⁵'He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.

²⁵愛惜自己生命的，就失喪生命；在這世上恨惡自己生命的，就要保守生命到永生。

²⁶'If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

²⁶若有人服事我，就當跟從我；我在那裡，服事我的人也要在那裡；若有人服事我，我父必尊重他。

²⁷'Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me from this hour '? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

²⁷我現在心裡憂愁，我說甚麼才好呢？父阿，救我脫離這時候；但我原是為這時候來的。

²⁸'Father, glorify Your name.' Then a voice came out of heaven: 'I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.'

²⁸父阿，願你榮耀你的名！當時就有聲音從天上來，說：我已經榮耀了我的名，還要再榮耀。

²⁹So the crowd [of people] who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, 'An angel has spoken to Him.'

²⁹站在旁邊的眾人聽見，就說：打雷了。還有人說：有天使對他說話。

³⁰Jesus answered and said, 'This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

³⁰耶穌說：這聲音不是為我，是為你們來的。

³¹'Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

³¹現在這世界受審判，這世界的王要被趕出去。

³²'And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.'

³²我若從地上被舉起來，就要吸引萬人來歸我。

³³But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.

³³耶穌這話原是指著自己將要怎樣死說的。

³⁴The crowd then answered Him, 'We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?'

³⁴眾人回答說：我們聽見律法上有話說，基督是永存的，你怎麼說人子必須被舉起來呢？這人子是誰呢？

³⁵So Jesus said to them, 'For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.

³⁵耶穌對他們說：光在你們中間還有不多的時候，應當趁著有光行走，免得黑暗臨到你們；那在黑暗裡行走的，不知道往何處去。

³⁶'While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.' These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

³⁶你們應當趁著有光，信從這光，使你們成為光明之子。耶穌說了這話，就離開隱藏了。

³⁷But though He had performed so many signs before them, [yet] they were not believing in Him.

³⁷他雖然在他們面前行了許多神蹟，他們還是不信他。

³⁸[This was] to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: 'LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?'

³⁸這是要應驗先知以賽亞的話，說：主阿，我們所傳的有誰信呢？主的膀臂向誰顯露呢？

³⁹For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,

³⁹他們所以不能信，因為以賽亞又說：

⁴⁰'HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM.'

⁴⁰主叫他們瞎了眼，硬了心，免得他們眼睛看見，心裡明白，回轉過來，我就醫治他們。

⁴¹These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.

⁴¹以賽亞因為看見他的榮耀，就指著他說這話。

⁴²Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing [Him], for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

⁴²雖然如此，官長中卻有好些信他的，只因法利賽人的緣故，就不承認，恐怕被趕出會堂。

⁴³for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

⁴³這是因他們愛人的榮耀過於愛神的榮耀。

⁴⁴And Jesus cried out and said, 'He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

⁴⁴耶穌大聲說：信我的，不是信我，乃是信那差我來的。

⁴⁵'He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

⁴⁵人看見我，就是看見那差我來的。

⁴⁶'I have come [as] Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

⁴⁶我到世上來，乃是光，叫凡信我的，不住在黑暗裡。

⁴⁷'If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

⁴⁷若有人聽見我的話不遵守，我不審判他。我來本不是要審判世界，乃是要拯救世界。

⁴⁸'He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

⁴⁸棄絕我、不領受我話的人，有審判他的─就是我所講的道在末日要審判他。

⁴⁹'For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment [as to] what to say and what to speak.

⁴⁹因為我沒有憑著自己講，惟有差我來的父已經給我命令，叫我說甚麼，講甚麼。

⁵⁰'I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.'

⁵⁰我也知道他的命令就是永生。故此，我所講的話正是照著父對我所說的。
