1Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.
1Jesus ergo ante sex dies Paschæ venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Jesus.
2And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.
2Fecerunt autem ei cœnam ibi, et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
3Mary 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.
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.
4Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
4Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis ejus, Judas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus:
5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
5Quare hoc unguentum non veniit trecentis denariis, et datum est egenis?
6Now 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.
6Dixit autem hoc, non quia de egenis pertinebat ad eum, sed quia fur erat, et loculos habens, ea quæ mittebantur, portabat.
7Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
7Dixit ergo Jesus: Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturæ meæ servet illud.
8For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
8Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
9A 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.
9Cognovit ergo turba multa ex Judæis quia illic est, et venerunt, non propter Jesum tantum, sed ut Lazarum viderent, quem suscitavit a mortuis.
10But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:
10Cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent:
11Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.
11quia multi propter illum abibant ex Judæis, et credebant in Jesum.
12And 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,
12In crastinum autem, turba multa quæ venerat ad diem festum, cum audissent quia venit Jesus Jerosolymam,
13Took 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.
13acceperunt ramos palmarum, et processerunt obviam ei, et clamabant: Hosanna, benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini, rex Israël.
14And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:
14Et invenit Jesus asellum, et sedit super eum, sicut scriptum est:
15Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
15Noli timere, filia Sion: ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinæ.
16These 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.
16Hæc non cognoverunt discipuli ejus primum: sed quando glorificatus est Jesus, tunc recordati sunt quia hæc erant scripta de eo, et hæc fecerunt ei.
17The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.
17Testimonium ergo perhibebat turba, quæ erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento, et suscitavit eum a mortuis.
18For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
18Propterea et obviam venit ei turba: quia audierunt fecisse hoc signum.
19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.
19Pharisæi ergo dixerunt ad semetipsos: Videtis quia nihil proficimus? ecce mundus totus post eum abiit.
20Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.
20Erant autem quidam gentiles, ex his qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
21These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
21Hi ergo accesserunt ad Philippum, qui erat a Bethsaida Galilææ, et rogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, volumus Jesum videre.
22Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
22Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreæ; Andreas rursum et Philippus dixerunt Jesu.
23But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
23Jesus autem respondit eis, dicens: Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
24Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,
24Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit,
25Itself 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.
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 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.
26Si quis mihi ministrat, me sequatur, et ubi sum ego, illic et minister meus erit. Si quis mihi ministraverit, honorificabit eum Pater meus.
27Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.
27Nunc anima mea turbata est. Et quid dicam? Pater, salvifica me ex hac hora. Sed propterea veni in horam hanc:
28Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
28Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de cælo: Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.
29The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.
29Turba ergo, quæ stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii dicebant: Angelus ei locutus est.
30Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
30Respondit Jesus, et dixit: Non propter me hæc vox venit, sed propter vos.
31Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
31Nunc judicium est mundi: nunc princeps hujus mundi ejicietur foras.
32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.
32Et ego, si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad meipsum.
33(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)
33(Hoc autem dicebat, significans qua morte esset moriturus.)
34The 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?
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?
35Jesus 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.
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.
36Whilst 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.
36Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Hæc locutus est Jesus, et abiit et abscondit se ab eis.
37And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:
37Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum;
38That 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?
38ut sermo Isaiæ prophetæ impleretur, quem dixit: [Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?]
39Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again:
39Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias:
40He 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.
40[Excæcavit oculos eorum, et induravit cor eorum ut non videant oculis, et non intelligant corde, et convertantur, et sanem eos.]
41These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
41Hæc dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam ejus, et locutus est de eo.
42However, 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.
42Verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum: sed propter pharisæos non confitebantur, ut e synagoga non ejicerentur.
43For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
43Dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis quam gloriam Dei.
44But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.
44Jesus autem clamavit, et dixit: Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum qui misit me.
45And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
45Et qui videt me, videt eum qui misit me.
46I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.
46Ego lux in mundum veni, ut omnis qui credit in me, in tenebris non maneat.
47And 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.
47Et si quis audierit verba mea, et non custodierit, ego non judico eum; non enim veni ut judicem mundum, sed ut salvificem mundum.
48He 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.
48Qui spernit me et non accipit verba mea, habet qui judicet eum. Sermo quem locutus sum, ille judicabit eum in novissimo die.
49For 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.
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 commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
50Et scio quia mandatum ejus vita æterna est: quæ ergo ego loquor, sicut dixit mihi Pater, sic loquor.
