Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
1Jesus ergo ante sex dies Paschæ venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Jesus.
2So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
2Fecerunt autem ei cœnam ibi, et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
3Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
3Maria ergo accepit libram unguenti nardi pistici pretiosi, et unxit pedes Jesu, et extersit pedes ejus capillis suis: et domus impleta est ex odore unguenti.
4But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
4Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis ejus, Judas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus:
5“Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”
5Quare hoc unguentum non veniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis?
6Judas did not say this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.
6Dixit autem hoc, non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum, sed quia fur erat, et loculos habens, ea quæ mittebantur, portabat.
7“Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “She has kept this perfume in preparation for the day of My burial.
7Dixit ergo Jesus: Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturæ meæ servet illud.
8The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.”
8Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
9Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was there. And they came not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
9Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Judæis quia illic est, et venerunt, non propter Jesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.
10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
10Cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent:
11for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting them and believing in Jesus.
11quia multi propter illum abibant ex Judæis, et credebant in Jesum.
12The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
12In crastinum autem, turba multa quæ venerat ad diem festum, cum audissent quia venit Jesus Jerosolymam,
13They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!”
13acceperunt ramos palmarum, et processerunt obviam ei, et clamabant: Hosanna, benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini, rex Israël.
14Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
14Et invenit Jesus asellum, et sedit super eum, sicut scriptum est:
15“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
15Noli timere, filia Sion: ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinæ.
16At first His disciples did not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, and they realized that these very things had also been written about Him.
16Hæc non cognoverunt discipuli ejus primum: sed quando glorificatus est Jesus, tunc recordati sunt quia hæc erant scripta de eo, et hæc fecerunt ei.
17Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.
17Testimonium ergo perhibebat turba, quæ erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento, et suscitavit eum a mortuis.
18That is also why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
18Propterea et obviam venit ei turba: quia audierunt fecisse hoc signum.
19Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good. Look how the whole world has gone after Him!”
19Pharisæi ergo dixerunt ad semetipsos: Videtis quia nihil proficimus? ecce mundus totus post eum abiit.
20Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20Erant autem quidam gentiles, ex his qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
21They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
21Hi ergo accesserunt ad Philippum, qui erat a Bethsaida Galilææ, et rogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, volumus Jesum videre.
22Philip relayed this appeal to Andrew, and both of them went and told Jesus.
22Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreæ; Andreas rursum et Philippus dixerunt Jesu.
23But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23Jesus autem respondit eis, dicens: Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
24Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
24Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit,
25Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
25ipsum solum manet: si autem mortuum fuerit, multum fructum affert. Qui amat animam suam, perdet eam; et qui odit animam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam æternam custodit eam.
26If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
26Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur, et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.
27Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.
27Nunc anima mea turbata est. Et quid dicam? Pater, salvifica me ex hac hora. Sed propterea veni in horam hanc:
28Father, glorify Your name!” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
28Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de cælo: Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.
29The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
29Turba ergo, quæ stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii dicebant: Angelus ei locutus est.
30In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.
30Respondit Jesus, et dixit: Non propter me hæc vox venit, sed propter vos.
31Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31Nunc judicium est mundi: nunc princeps hujus mundi ejicietur foras.
32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.”
32Et ego, si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad meipsum.
33He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
33(Hoc autem dicebat, significans qua morte esset moriturus.)
34The crowd replied, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain forever. So how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
34Respondit ei turba: Nos audivimus ex lege, quia Christus manet in æternum: et quomodo tu dicis: Oportet exaltari Filium hominis? quis est iste Filius hominis?
35Then Jesus told them, “For a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
35Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Adhuc modicum, lumen in vobis est. Ambulate dum lucem habetis, ut non vos tenebræ comprehendant; et qui ambulat in tenebris, nescit quo vadat.
36While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” After Jesus had spoken these things, He went away and was hidden from them.
36Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Hæc locutus est Jesus, et abiit et abscondit se ab eis.
37Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still did not believe in Him.
37Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum;
38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
38ut sermo Isaiæ prophetæ impleretur, quem dixit: [Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?]
39For this reason they were unable to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
39Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias:
40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they cannot see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
40[Excæcavit oculos eorum, et induravit cor eorum ut non videant oculis, et non intelligant corde, et convertantur, et sanem eos.]
41Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
41Hæc dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam ejus, et locutus est de eo.
42Nevertheless, many of the leaders believed in Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue.
42Verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum: sed propter pharisæos non confitebantur, ut e synagoga non ejicerentur.
43For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
43Dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis quam gloriam Dei.
44Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me.
44Jesus autem clamavit, et dixit: Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum qui misit me.
45And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me.
45Et qui videt me, videt eum qui misit me.
46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
46Ego lux in mundum veni, ut omnis qui credit in me, in tenebris non maneat.
47As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
47Et si quis audierit verba mea, et non custodierit, ego non judico eum; non enim veni ut judicem mundum, sed ut salvificem mundum.
48There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
48Qui spernit me et non accipit verba mea, habet qui judicet eum. Sermo quem locutus sum, ille judicabit eum in novissimo die.
49I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
49Quia ego ex meipso non sum locutus, sed qui misit me, Pater, ipse mihi mandatum dedit quid dicam et quid loquar.
50And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”
50Et scio quia mandatum ejus vita æterna est: quæ ergo ego loquor, sicut dixit mihi Pater, sic loquor.
