At Bethany
(Matthew 26.6-13Mark 14.3-9)1 Six days before Passover Jesus went back to Bethany, where he had raised Lazarus from death. 2 A meal had been prepared for Jesus. Martha was doing the serving, and Lazarus himself was there.
3 Mary took a very expensive bottle of perfume and poured it on Jesus' feet. She wiped them with her hair, and the sweet smell of the perfume filled the house.
4 A disciple named Judas Iscariot was there. He was the one who was going to betray Jesus, and he asked, 5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 silver coins and the money given to the poor?” 6 Judas did not really care about the poor. He asked this because he carried the moneybag and sometimes would steal from it.
7 Jesus replied, “Leave her alone! She has kept this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor with you, but you won't always have me.”
A Plot To Kill Lazarus
9 A lot of people came when they heard that Jesus was there. They also wanted to see Lazarus, because Jesus had raised him from death. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus. 11 He was the reason that many of the people were turning from them and putting their faith in Jesus.
Jesus Enters Jerusalem
(Matthew 21.1-11Mark 11.1-11Luke 19.28-40)12 The next day a large crowd was in Jerusalem for Passover. When they heard that Jesus was coming for the festival, 13 they took palm branches and went out to greet him. They shouted,
“Hooray!
God bless the one who comes
in the name of the Lord!
God bless the King
of Israel!”
14 Jesus found a donkey and rode on it, just as the Scriptures say,
15 “People of Jerusalem,
don't be afraid!
Your King is now coming,
and he is riding
on a donkey.”
16 At first, Jesus' disciples did not understand. But after he had been given his glory, they remembered all this. Everything had happened exactly as the Scriptures said it would.
17-18 A crowd had come to meet Jesus because they had seen him call Lazarus out of the tomb. They kept talking about him and this miracle. 19 But the Pharisees said to each other, “There is nothing we can do! Everyone in the world is following Jesus.”
Some Greeks Want To Meet Jesus
20 Some Greeks had gone to Jerusalem to worship during Passover. 21 Philip from Bethsaida in Galilee was there too. So they went to him and said, “Sir, we would like to meet Jesus.” 22 Philip told Andrew. Then the two of them went to Jesus and told him.
The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up
23 Jesus said:
The time has come for the Son of Man to be given his glory. 24 I tell you for certain that a grain of wheat that falls on the ground will never be more than one grain unless it dies. But if it dies, it will produce lots of wheat. 25 If you love your life, you will lose it. If you give it up in this world, you will be given eternal life. 26 If you serve me, you must go with me. My servants will be with me wherever I am. If you serve me, my Father will honor you.
27 Now I am deeply troubled, and I don't know what to say. But I must not ask my Father to keep me from this time of suffering. In fact, I came into the world to suffer. 28 So Father, bring glory to yourself.
A voice from heaven then said, “I have already brought glory to myself, and I will do it again!” 29 When the crowd heard the voice, some of them thought it was thunder. Others thought an angel had spoken to Jesus.
30 Then Jesus told the crowd, “That voice spoke to help you, not me. 31 This world's people are now being judged, and the ruler of this world is already being thrown out! 32 If I am lifted up above the earth, I will make everyone want to come to me.” 33 Jesus was talking about the way he would be put to death.
34 The crowd said to Jesus, “The Scriptures teach that the Messiah will live forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 Jesus answered, “The light will be with you for only a little longer. Walk in the light while you can. Then you won't be caught walking blindly in the dark. 36 Have faith in the light while it is with you, and you will be children of the light.”
The People Refuse To Have Faith in Jesus
After Jesus had said these things, he left and went into hiding. 37 He had worked a lot of miracles among the people, but they were still not willing to have faith in him. 38 This happened so that what the prophet Isaiah had said would come true,
“Lord, who has believed
our message?
And who has seen
your mighty strength?”
39 The people could not have faith in Jesus, because Isaiah had also said,
40 “The Lord has blinded
the eyes of the people,
and he has made
the people stubborn.
He did this so that they
could not see
or understand,
and so that they
would not turn to the Lord
and be healed.”
41 Isaiah said this, because he saw the glory of Jesus and spoke about him. 42 Even then, many of the leaders put their faith in Jesus, but they did not tell anyone about it. The Pharisees had already given orders for the people not to have anything to do with anyone who had faith in Jesus. 43 And besides, the leaders liked praise from others more than they liked praise from God.
Jesus Came To Save the World
44 In a loud voice Jesus said:
Everyone who has faith in me also has faith in the one who sent me. 45 And everyone who has seen me has seen the one who sent me. 46 I am the light that has come into the world. No one who has faith in me will stay in the dark.
47 I am not the one who will judge those who refuse to obey my teachings. I came to save the people of this world, not to be their judge. 48 But everyone who rejects me and my teachings will be judged on the last day by what I have said. 49 I don't speak on my own. I say only what the Father who sent me has told me to say. 50 I know that his commands will bring eternal life. This is why I tell you exactly what the Father has told me.

K. Jezus apsvaida ar eleju.
1 Sešas dīnas pyrms Leldines Jezus atgōja uz Betaniju, kur dzeivōja Lazars, kurs beja nūmiris, un kuru Jezus pīcēle nu myrūnim. 2 Tur Jam sataiseja gūda maļteiti. Marta pīkolpōja, un Lazars beja vīns nu tim, kas ar Jū reizē ījēme vītu pi golda. 3 Bet Marija, pajāmuse mōrceņu ļūti dōrga nardu eleja, apsvaideja Jezus kōjas un ar sovim motim jōs nūslauceja, un mōja tyka piļdeita ar tō eleja smaržu.
4 Vīns nu Jō mōceklim, Judass Iskariots, kurs Jū nūdeve, saceja: 5 Kōpēc šytō dōrgō eleja napōrdeve par trejs simti denaru un naizdaleja nabogim? 6 Bet šytū jys saceja na tōpēc, ka jam ryupēja nabogi, bet gon tōpēc, ka beja zaglis un, kai īnōkumu pōrzinis, tū, kas īnōce, lyka sevim. 7 Jezus saceja: Licit jai mīru; jei tū uzglobōja Munas paglobōšonas dīnai. 8 Nabogi vysod byus pi jums, bet Es vysod nabyušu.
K. Jezus svineigi īīt Jeruzalemā.
9 Kad jūdu pyuļs izzynōja, ka Jys tur ir apstōjis, tad jī sagōja na tikai Jezus dēļ, bet ari, lai radzātu Lazari, kuru Jys beja nu myrūnim pīcēlis.
10 Vērsgoreidznīki nūlēme ari Lazari nūnōvēt, 11 jo jō dēļ daudzi jūdu gōja pi Jezus un Jam īticēja.
12 Nōkūšā dīnā lels ļaužu pulks, kas beja uz svineibom sasalasejis, izzynōjis, ka uz Jeruzalemu atīt Jezus, 13 pajēmis paļmu zorus, izgōja Jū satikt un sauce:
Osanna!
Slaveits Tys, kas nōk Kunga vōrdā,
Izraeļa Kēneņš!
14 Jezus, atradis ezelānu, uzsāda uz jō vērsum, kai beja raksteits:
15 Nasabeisti, Siona meita,
Raug, atnōk tovs Kēneņš,
sādādams uz ezelīnes kumeļa.
16 Īsōkumā Jō mōcekli tō nasaprota. Bet, kad Jezu gūdynōja, tad jī īgōdōja, ka tai par Jū ir raksteits, un tai Jam padareja.
17 Tai Jū gūdynōja ļaužu pulks, kas pi Jō beja tūlaik, kad Jys izsauce nu kopa Lazari un jū nu myrūnim pīcēle. 18 Tōdēļ ari ļaužu pulks izgōja Jō satyktu, jo zynōja, ka Jys tū breinumu padareja.
19 Bet farizeji sovā storpā runōja: Redzit, ka nikō navaram padareit. Vyss pasauļs īt Jam pakaļ.
K. Jezus un pogōni.
20 Tūs vydā, kas svātku dīnā beja atgōjuši Dīvam gūda atdūtu, beja daži pogōni. 21 Tī, pīgōjuši klōt pi Filipa, kas beja nu Galilejas Betsaidas, jō lyudze saceidami: Kungs, mes grybam redzēt Jezu. 22 Filips aizgōjis sarunōja ar Andrivi, Andrivs un Filips tū pastōsteja Jezum.
23 Jezus atsasauce un jim saceja: Tei stuņde jau atgōja, kad Cylvāka Dāls tiks gūdynōts. 24 Patīši, patīši, Es jums soku: jo kvīšu gryuds naīkriss zemē un nanūmērs, paliks vīns pats; jo nūmērs, — atness daudz augļu. 25 Kas sovu dzeiveibu mīļoj, tys jū pazaudēs, bet kas vērs šōs zemes sovas dzeiveibas naīredz, tys jū izglōbs dēļ myužeigōs dzeives. 26 Kas grib Maņ kolpōt, tys lai īt Maņ pakaļ, un kur Es asmu, tur ari Muns kolps byus; kas Maņ kolpōs, tū gūdynōs Muns Tāvs. 27 Muna dvēsele tagad ir satrīkta. Un kū lai soku? Tāvs, glōb Mani nu šytōs stuņdes? Bet Es tadei šytōs stuņdes dēļ asmu atgōjis. 28 Tāvs, izslavej sovu vōrdu!
Tad nu dabasim atskanēja bolss: Es izslavēju un vēļ izslaveišu.
29 Ļaudis, kas tur stōvēja un tū dzērdēja, dūmōja, ka pārkyuņs graude, citi otkon saceja: Eņgeļs ar Jū runōja.
30 Bet Jezus atbyldādams saceja: Na dēļ Manis šytys bolss atskanēja, bet dēļ jums. 31 Tagad teik izškērts šō pasauļa liktiņs; tagad šō pasauļa vaļdinīks tiks izmasts ōrā. 32 Un, kad Es byušu nu zemes pacalts, pi sevis pīviļkšu vysus. 33 Ar šitim vōrdim Jys izteice, kaidā nōvē Jam byus jōmērst.
34 Ļaudis Jam atbiļdēja: Nu lykumu grōmotas mes dzērdējom, ka Kristus palīk myužam; kai tad Tu soki: Cylvāka Dālam jōbyun pacaltam? Kas tad ir tys Cylvāka Dāls?
35 Jezus tim atbiļdēja: Vēļ nagaru laiceņu jyusu vydā ir Gaisma. Staigojit, koleidz jums Gaisma ir, lai jyusu naapjimtu tymsums; kas tymsumā staigoj, tys nazyna, uz kurīni īt. 36 Koleidz jums ir Gaisma, ticit Gaismai, lai jyus palyktu par Gaismas bārnim. Pēc šytūs vōrdu Jezus aizgōja prūjom un nu jim nūsaslēpe.
Jūdu naticeiba.
37 Lai gon Jys tik lelus breinumus jūs acīs padareja, tūmār Jam naticēja, 38 lai izapiļdeitu pravīša Izaja vōrdi, kurus saceja:
Kungs, kas Munim vōrdim īticēja?
Un kam ir pasludynōta Dīva rūka?
39 Tōpēc jī naticēja, kai Izajas otkon saceja:
40 Jys padareja naredzeigas jūs acis
un jūs sirdis aizcītynōja,
ka ar acim naīraudzeitu,
ar sirdi nasaprostu,
ka naatsagrīztu,
un Es jūs napadareitu vasalu.
41 Šytū izteice Izajass, jo jys redzēja Jō gūdu un par Jū runōja.
42 Tūmār daudzeji pat nu prīkšnīkim Jam īticēja, bet, beidamīs farizeju, atklōti naizzyna, ka jūs naizslāgtu nu synagogas. 43 Jī vairōk nūmīļōja ļaužu gūdu, na kai Dīva gūdu.
K. Jezus ir Dīva syuteits.
44 Jezus styprā bolsā sauce: 45 Kas Maņ tic, tys natic Maņ (vīn), bet Tam, kas Mani syuteja; kas redz Mani, tys redz Tū, kurs Mani syuteja. 46 Es asmu gaisma, kas uz pasauli atgōja, lai ikvīns, kas Maņ tic, nastaigōtu tymsumā. 47 Jo kas Munu vōrdu klausōs, bet jūs nasorgoj, tō Es natīsoju, jo naasmu pasauļa tīsōtu atgōjis, bet gon pasauļa glōbtu. 48 Kas Mani pasmōdej un Munu vōrdu nasaklausa, tam ir sovs tīsōtōjs: mōceiba, kuru sludynōju. Jei tū tīsōs postora dīnā. 49 Es tadei pats nu sevis narunoju. Tāvs, kas Mani syuteja, Tys Maņ pavēlēja, kū jums saceit un sludynōt. 50 Es zynu, ka Jō bausleibā ir myužeiga dzeive. Tai tad, kū Es soku, tū Es soku tai, kai Maņ Tāvs tū pavēlēja.
