Chapter 12

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 awakened out of the dead, was ┌Jesus┐. 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, having taken a litra^‹a› of an unguent of very costly 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 from the odor of the unguent.

⁴╓Then one out of the adherents of him, Iscariot of Simon╖ ┌Moreover a Judas, the Iscariot, one out of the adherents of him ┐, the one intending to hand him over, says, ⁵“Wherefore was this, the unguent, not sold {for} three-hundred denarii^‹b› and it was freely given to {the ones} begging; ⁶moreover he said this not because concerning the ones begging it was caring for him, 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^you her alone^‹c›, she ╓has preserved^‹d›╖ ┌might preserve^‹d›┐ it into the day of 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 for the Jesus alone but so that they might 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 for him, and they were having complete confidence and were 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┐, “Hosanna, the one coming within the name of lord^‹f› 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^you not terrified! 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 experientially know these, the one first, but when ╓the╖ ┌a┐ Jesus was made renowned at that time they were 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 derive not profit, {the one} nothing. Observe^you! The world-order came 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 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^‹g› has come so that the son of 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, friendly loving the soul of him, ╓will utterly destroy╖ ┌utterly destroys┐ it; and the one, abhoring the soul of him within this, the world-order, will maintain it into a genuine and real life lasting for an eon. ²⁶If ╓he╖ ┌anyone┐ would serve me, let he follow me; and where I am, there also is the servant, the one possessed by me; ╓and╖ if anyone would serve me, the father will honor him.

²⁷Now the soul of me has been troubled, and why may I say? “Father, rescue^you me out of this, the fitting time^‹g›! But, for this reason, I came to this, the fitting time^‹g›! ²⁸Father, make^you renowned the name of you.”

Then, a voice came out of the universe; I made {it} renowned, and again I will make {it} renowned.”

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 for me, but for you. ³¹Now a judgment of this, the world-order, is; now the official of this, the world-order, will be cast forth outside. ³²And if I would be lifted high out of the land, I will attract {the ones} all towards myself.” ³³Moreover he was saying this signifying what 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, {for} a short time the light is ╓with╖ ┌within┐ you, walk ^you ╓as long as╖ ┌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^‹i›. ³⁶╓As long as╖ ┌As┐ you have the light, have^you complete confidence and be totally entrusting into the light so that you, sons of the light, might become.”

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

³⁷Moreover, 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.”^‹j›

³⁹For this reason they were not being able to have complete confidence and be totally entrusting into him that again an Isaiah said. ⁴⁰He 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 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 were totally entrusting into him, but they were not conceding because of the Pharisees so that they, expelled from the sacred assembly, would 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 is 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 all, the one having complete confidence and being totally entrusting into me, may not stay within the darkness. ⁴⁷And if anyone 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, breaking faith with 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, ╓freely gave╖ ┌has freely given┐ me the injunction what I might say and what I might speak. ⁵⁰Also I know that the injunction of him is a real and genuine life lasting for an eon; then what 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 κύριος, kyrios means one having power or authority for deciding how things are to be administered under his directorship; hence it may be translated lord, master, or sir. Since the people were referring to king it is appropriate to use Lord and as a title of respect for a king.

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

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

^‹i›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.

^‹j›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.
