Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 12

1. Jesus ergo ante sex dies paschæ venit Bethaniam ubi fuerat Lazarus mortuus quem suscitavit Jesus

1. Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.

2. fecerunt autem ei cenam ibi et Martha ministrabat Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo

2. And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.

3. Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici pretiosi unxit pedes Jesu et extersit capillis suis pedes ejus et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti

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.

4. dicit ergo unus ex discipulis ejus Judas Scariotis qui erat eum traditurus

4. Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:

5. quare hoc unguentum non veniit trecentis denariis et datum est egenis

5. Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6. dixit autem hoc non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum sed quia fur erat et loculos habens ea quæ mittebantur portabat

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.

7. dixit ergo Jesus sine illam ut in die sepulturæ meæ servet illud

7. Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

8. pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum me autem non semper habetis

8. For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

9. cognovit ergo turba multa ex Judæis quia illic est et venerunt non propter Jesum tantum sed ut Lazarum viderent quem suscitavit a mortuis

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.

10. cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent

10. But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:

11. quia multi propter illum abibant ex Judæis et credebant in Jesum

11. Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.

12. in crastinum autem turba multa quæ venerat ad diem festum cum audissent quia venit Jesus Hierosolyma

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,

13. acceperunt ramos palmarum et processerunt obviam ei et clamabant osanna benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini rex Israël

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.

14. et invenit Jesus asellum et sedit super eum sicut scriptum est

14. And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:

15. noli timere filia Sion ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinæ

15. Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

16. hæc non cognoverunt discipuli ejus primum sed quando glorificatus est Jesus tunc recordati sunt quia hæc erant scripta de eo et hæc fecerunt ei

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.

17. testimonium ergo perhibebat turba quæ erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento et suscitavit eum a mortuis

17. The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.

18. propterea et obviam venit ei turba quia audierunt eum fecisse hoc signum

18. For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.

19. Pharisæi ergo dixerunt ad semet ipsos videtis quia nihil proficimus ecce mundus totus post eum abiit

19. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.

20. erant autem gentiles quidam ex his qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo

20. Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.

21. hii ergo accesserunt ad Philippum qui erat a Bethsaida Galilææ et rogabant eum dicentes domine volumus Jesum videre

21. These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.

22. venit Philippus et dicit Andreæ Andreas rursum et Philippus dixerunt Jesu

22. Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

23. Jesus autem respondit eis dicens venit hora ut clarificetur Filius hominis

23. But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

24. amen amen dico vobis nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram mortuum fuerit

24. Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,

25. ipsum solum manet si autem mortuum fuerit multum fructum adfert qui amat animam suam perdet eam et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo in vitam æternam custodit eam

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.

26. si quis mihi ministrat me sequatur et ubi sum ego illic et minister meus erit si quis mihi ministraverit honorificabit eum Pater meus

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.

27. nunc anima mea turbata est et quid dicam Pater salvifica me ex hora hac sed propterea veni in horam hanc

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.

28. Pater clarifica tuum nomen venit ergo vox de cælo et clarificavi et iterum clarificabo

28. Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29. turba ergo quæ stabat et audierat dicebant tonitruum factum esse alii dicebant angelus ei locutus est

29. The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.

30. respondit Jesus et dixit non propter me vox hæc venit sed propter vos

30. Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

31. nunc judicium est mundi nunc princeps hujus mundi eicietur foras

31. Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

32. et ego si exaltatus fuero a terra omnia traham ad me ipsum

32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.

33. hoc autem dicebat significans qua morte esset moriturus

33. (Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)

34. respondit ei turba nos audivimus ex lege quia Christus manet in æternum et quomodo tu dicis oportet exaltari Filium hominis quis est iste Filius hominis

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?

35. dixit ergo eis Jesus adhuc modicum lumen in vobis est ambulate dum lucem habetis ut non tenebræ vos conprehendant et qui ambulat in tenebris nescit quo vadat

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.

36. dum lucem habetis credite in lucem ut filii lucis sitis hæc locutus est Jesus et abiit et abscondit se ab eis

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.

37. cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis non credebant in eum

37. And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:

38. ut sermo Esajæ prophetæ impleretur quem dixit Domine quis credidit auditui nostro et brachium Domini cui revelatum est

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?

39. propterea non poterant credere quia iterum dixit Esajas

39. Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again:

40. excæcavit oculos eorum et induravit eorum cor ut non videant oculis et intellegant corde et convertantur et sanem eos

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.

41. hæc dixit Esajas quando vidit gloriam ejus et locutus est de eo

41. These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

42. verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum sed propter Pharisæos non confitebantur ut de synagoga non eicerentur

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.

43. dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis quam gloriam Dei

43. For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

44. Jesus autem clamavit et dixit qui credit in me non credit in me sed in eum qui misit me

44. But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.

45. et qui videt me videt eum qui misit me

45. And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

46. ego lux in mundum veni ut omnis qui credit in me in tenebris non maneat

46. I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.

47. et si quis audierit verba mea et non custodierit ego non judico eum non enim veni ut judicem mundum sed ut salvificem mundum

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.

48. qui spernit me et non accipit verba mea habet qui judicet eum sermo quem locutus sum ille judicabit eum in novissimo die

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.

49. quia ego ex me ipso non sum locutus sed qui misit me Pater ipse mihi mandatum dedit quid dicam et quid loquar

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.

50. et scio quia mandatum ejus vita æterna est quæ ergo ego loquor sicut dixit mihi Pater sic loquor

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.
