Chapter 12

John Chapter 12: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)

¹Then the Jesus before six days of the Passover came into a Bethany where a Lazarus, ╓the-one having had died╖ whom ╓he╖ ┌a Jesus┐ awakened out-of the dead, was. ²Then they made a meal with him there, and the Martha was serving; moreover the Lazarus was one ╓of╖ ┌out-of┐ {the-ones} ┬reclining-together-at-table {with}┬ ╔reclining-at-table with╗ him.

³Then the ╓Mary╖ ┌Mariam┐, having taken a litra^‹a› of a very-costly unguent of a liquid spikenard, besmeared the feet of the Jesus, and with the hair of her she wiped the feet of him; moreover the house was fulfilled out-of the odor of the unguent.

⁴╓Then one out-of the adherents of him, Judas Iscariot of Simon╖ ┌Moreover a Judas, the Iscariot, one out-of the adherents of him ┐, the-one intending to hand-over him, says, ⁵“Wherefore was this, the unguent, not sold {over} three-hundred denarii^‹b› and it was given-freely to {the-ones} begging; ⁶moreover he said this not because it was caring to him concerning the-ones begging, but because he was a thief, and ╓he was having the money-purse, and╖ ┌having the money-purse┐ he was bearing the-ones being cast.”

⁷Then the Jesus said, “Leave-alone^you‹c› her, she ╓has preserved^‹d›╖ ┌might preserve^‹d›┐ it into the day of the laying-out-for-burial of me. ⁸For you always have the-ones begging with yourselves^‹e›, moreover you do not always have me.” ⁹Then ╓a╖ ┌the┐ a large crowd out-of the-ones Israelite knew-experientially that he is there, and they came not because-of the Jesus alone but so-that they might also observe the Lazarus whom he awakened out-of {the-ones} dead. ¹⁰Moreover the chief-priests agreed so-that they might also kill the Lazarus, ¹¹because {the-ones} many were departing of the-ones Israelite because-of him, and they were having- complete-confidence-and-being-totally-entrusting into the Jesus.

¹²The-next-day ╓a╖ ┌the┐ large crowd, the-one have come into the feast, having heard that ╒the╕ ╥a╥ Jesus is coming into a Jerusalem. ¹³They took the fronds of the palm-trees, and they went-forth into an engagement with him, they were ╓screaming╖ ┌shouting┐, “Save-now! The-one coming within the name of a sir, having had been praised, ┌and┐ the king of the Israel.”

¹⁴Moreover the Jesus having found a colt sat-down onto it according-as it, having had been written, is. ¹⁵“Be-terrified^you not! Daughter of Zion! Lo! The king of you, being-seated onto the foal of a donkey, comes.”

¹⁶╓Moreover the╖ ┌The┐ adherents of him did not know-experientially these, the-one first, but when ╓the╖ ┌a┐ Jesus was made-renowned at-that-time they remembered that these, having had been written about him, was; and they did these to him.

¹⁷Then the crowd, the-one being with him when he summoned Lazarus out-of the sepulcher and awaken him out-of {the-ones} dead, were bearing-witness. ¹⁸For-this-reason also the crowd encountered him because it heard this-one, himself, to have had done the sign.

¹⁹Then the Pharisees said towards themselves, “Ascertain^you that you not derive-profit, {the-one} nothing. Observe^you! The world-order went-forth back of him.

²⁰Moreover some were Greeks out-of the ones ascending so-that they might make-obeisance within the feast. ²¹Then these came-forward to a Philip, the-one from a Bethsaida of the Galilee, and they were asking him saying, “Sir, we desire to have observed the Jesus.”

²²╓A╖ ┌The┐ Philip comes, and he says to the Andrew; ╓and again an Andrew and a Philip say╖ ┌an Andrew comes, and Philip also, they say┐ to the Jesus.

²³Moreover Jesus ╓replied╖ ┌replies┐ to them saying, “The fitting-time^‹f› has come so-that the son of the humanity might be made-renowned. ²⁴Truly, truly, I say to you, except the kernel of the grain, having fallen into the land, would decease, it alone remains; moreover if- it -would decease, it brings much fruit.

²⁵The-one, loving-friendly the soul of him, ╓will destroy-utterly╖ ┌ destroys -utterly┐ it; and the-one, abhoring the soul of him within this, the world-order, will maintain it into a real-and-genuine-life lasting-for-an-eon. ²⁶If- ╓he╖ ┌someone┐ -would serve me, let he follow me; and where I am, there also is the servant, the-one possessed-by-me; ╓and╖ if- someone -would serve me, the father will honor him.

²⁷Now the physical-life of me has been troubled, and which may I say? “Father, rescue^you me out-of this, the fitting-time^‹f›! But, for-this-reason, I came to this, the fitting-time^‹f›! ²⁸Father! Make-renowned^you the name of you.”

Then, a voice came out-of the universe; not-only did I make-renowned {it}, but-also again I will make-renowned {it}.”

²⁹Then the crowd, the-ones having had stood and having heard, were saying, “To have had become a thunder.”

{The-ones} other were saying, “A universal-messenger has spoken to him.”

³⁰The Jesus replied, and he said, “This, the voice, has became not because-of me, but because-of you. ³¹Now a judgment of this, the world-order, is; now the official of this, the world-order, will be cast-forth outside. ³²And-I if-would be lifted-high out-of the land, I will attract {the-ones} all towards myself.” ³³Moreover he was saying this signifying which a death, he ╓intended╖ ┌was intending┐ to decease.

³⁴╓The╖ ┌Then the┐ crowd replied to him, “We heard out-of the law^‹h› that the-one anointed stays into the eon; and how do you say, ‘╒That it╕ ╥It╥-is-needful-for the son of the humanity to have been lifted-high? Who is this, the son of the humanity?’”

³⁵Then the Jesus said to them, “Yet, the light is a short time ╓with╖ ┌within┐ you, walk ^you ╓as-long-as╖ ┌inasmuch-as┐ you have the light so-that a blackness might not overtake you, also the-one walking in the blackness does not know where he is going^‹h›. ³⁶╓As-long-as╖ ┌Inasmuch-as┐ you have the light, have^you-complete-confidence-and-be-totally entrusting into the light so-that you, sons of a light, might become.”

Jesus spoke these; and he, having gone-forth, was hid from them.

³⁷Moreover, {onto} so-many signs of having been done of him in-front-of them; they were not having-complete-confidence-and-being-totally-entrusting into him, ³⁸so-that the word of an Isaiah, the prophet, might be fulfilled which said, “Lord, who was having-complete-confidence-and-being-totally-entrusting in the report of us and the arm of the Lord to whom it was revealed.”^‹i›

³⁹For-this-reason they were-being-able not to have-complete-confidence-and-be-totally-entrusting into him; that again an Isaiah said, ^40“He has blinded the eyes of them, and he has hardened the heart of them so that they might not observe with the eyes, and they might {not} apprehend {within} the heart, and they might ╓return╖ ┌turn┐; and I will heal them.” ⁴¹Isaiah said these ╓when╖ ┌that┐ he observed the renown of him, and he spoke concerning him.

⁴²Equally nevertheless {the-ones} many out-of the officials also had-complete-confidence-and-being-totally-entrusting into him, but they were not conceding because-of the Pharisees so-that they, expelled-from-the-sacred-assembly, might not become, ⁴³for they loved-affectionately the renown of the humanity more-exceedingly ┬than┬ ╔than-even╗ the renown of the god.

⁴⁴Moreover a Jesus screamed, and he said, “The-one having-complete-confidence-and-being-totally-entrusting into me has-complete-confidence-and-being-totally-entrusting not into me but into the-one having sent me. ⁴⁵And the-one ascertaining me ascertains the-one having sent me. ⁴⁶I, a light, have come into the world-order so-that the-one all, having-complete-confidence-and-being-totally-entrusting into me, may not stay within the darkness. ⁴⁷And if- someone -would hear the messages of me, and he might not ╓have-complete-confidence-and-be-totally-entrusting╖ ┌maintain┐, I am not judging him; for I did not come so-that I am judging the world-order, but so-that I might rescue the world-order. ⁴⁸The-one, setting-at-naught me and not receiving the messages of me, has the-one judging him; the word, which I spoke to him, that-one, judges him within the last day. ⁴⁹Because I not spoke out-of myself, but the father, the-one having sent me, ╓gave-freely╖ ┌has given-freely┐ me the injunction which I might say and which I might speak. ⁵⁰Also I know that the injunction of him is a real-and genuine-life lasting for an eon; then which I am speaking? According-as the father has spoken to me, thus I am speaking.”

^‹a›The Greek is λίτρα, litra a unit of weight = to the Roman libra, approximately 12 English ounces, it may be translated as pound but that is confusing with our pound of 16 oz.; so I have used the transliteration of the Greek.

^‹b›See note at the end of John 6 concerning denarii.

^‹c›The Greek is ἀφίημι, aphiēmi, meaning properly to send from one’s self or dismiss, thus in this context leave alone.

^‹d›The Greek is τηρέω, tēpeō meaning guard, heed, preserve, retain; thus contextually the preserve as keep back for later use.

^‹e›The Greek is reflexive 3^rd person plural, however contextually it is 2^nd person plural thus that translation.

^‹f›The Greek is ὥρα, hōra meaning any period of time, season, year, fitting time; thus contextually hour because a number is given.

^‹g›The law referred to here would be the Mosaic law or the writings of the Israelites.

^‹h›The Greek is ὑπάγω, hypagō meaning lead under, bring under, to go away, depart; the latter my usual translation. Thus one cannot determine from where he departs or where he arrives in the darkness which contextually implies a total blackness or no hint of any light whatsoever. This is the demarcation of the light entering the earth in Genesis 1 and what Jesus is saying in he is the light in the world throughout this gospel, which although filled with daylight and moonlight is in a total darkness, i.e. spiritually.

^‹i›The passage quoted is Isa 53:1 from the Septuagint where the Hebrew Yahweh the name of God is translated κύριος, kyrios, thus it is appropriate to use Lord; report is the Greek ἀκοή, akoē which has a broader meaning hearsay, my normal translation; and the arm of the Lord is a Hebrew idiom for the power of God.
