Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
1Jesus ergo ante sex dies Paschæ venit Bethaniam, ubi Lazarus fuerat mortuus, quem suscitavit Jesus.
2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
2Fecerunt autem ei cœnam ibi, et Martha ministrabat, Lazarus vero unus erat ex discumbentibus cum eo.
3Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance 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 Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
4Dixit ergo unus ex discipulis ejus, Judas Iscariotes, qui erat eum traditurus:
5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii 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 money box, used to steal 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.
7But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
7Dixit ergo Jesus: Sinite illam ut in diem sepulturæ meæ servet illud.
8For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
8Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
9A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, 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 conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
10Cogitaverunt autem principes sacerdotum ut et Lazarum interficerent:
11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
11quia multi propter illum abibant ex Judæis, et credebant in Jesum.
12On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they 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 the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes 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.
14Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
14Et invenit Jesus asellum, et sedit super eum, sicut scriptum est:
15“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
15Noli timere, filia Sion: ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinæ.
16His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about 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 that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
17Testimonium ergo perhibebat turba, quæ erat cum eo quando Lazarum vocavit de monumento, et suscitavit eum a mortuis.
18For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
18Propterea et obviam venit ei turba: quia audierunt fecisse hoc signum.
19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
19Pharisæi ergo dixerunt ad semetipsos: Videtis quia nihil proficimus? ecce mundus totus post eum abiit.
20Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20Erant autem quidam gentiles, ex his qui ascenderant ut adorarent in die festo.
21Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “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 came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
22Venit Philippus, et dicit Andreæ; Andreas rursum et Philippus dixerunt Jesu.
23Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23Jesus autem respondit eis, dicens: Venit hora, ut clarificetur Filius hominis.
24Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
24Amen, amen dico vobis, nisi granum frumenti cadens in terram, mortuum fuerit,
25He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to 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, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. 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.
27“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
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 out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
28Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de cælo: Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.
29Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
29Turba ergo, quæ stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii dicebant: Angelus ei locutus est.
30Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
30Respondit Jesus, et dixit: Non propter me hæc vox venit, sed propter vos.
31Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31Nunc judicium est mundi: nunc princeps hujus mundi ejicietur foras.
32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
32Et ego, si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad meipsum.
33But he said this, signifying by what kind of 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 the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘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 with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t 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, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed 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.
37But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
37Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum;
38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? 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 cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
39Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias:
40“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would 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 when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
41Hæc dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam ejus, et locutus est de eo.
42Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t 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 men’s praise more than God’s praise.
43Dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis quam gloriam Dei.
44Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
44Jesus autem clamavit, et dixit: Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum qui misit me.
45He who sees me sees him who sent me.
45Et qui videt me, videt eum qui misit me.
46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
46Ego lux in mundum veni, ut omnis qui credit in me, in tenebris non maneat.
47If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t 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 who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will 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 spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a 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.
50I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”
50Et scio quia mandatum ejus vita æterna est: quæ ergo ego loquor, sicut dixit mihi Pater, sic loquor.
