Jesus Is Anointed at Bethany
(Matthew 26.6-13Mark 14.3-9)1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, the man he had raised from death. 2 They prepared a dinner for him there, which Martha helped serve; Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at the table with Jesus. 3 Then Mary took a whole pint of a very expensive perfume made of pure nard, poured it on Jesus' feet, and wiped them with her hair. The sweet smell of the perfume filled the whole house. 4 One of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariot—the one who was going to betray him—said, 5 “Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would help himself from it.
7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone! Let her keep what she has for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me.”
The Plot against Lazarus
9 A large number of people heard that Jesus was in Bethany, so they went there, not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus too, 11 because on his account many Jews were rejecting them and believing in Jesus.
The Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem
(Matthew 21.1-11Mark 11.1-11Luke 19.28-40)12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the Passover Festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Praise God! God bless him 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 scripture says,
15 “Do not be afraid, city of Zion!
Here comes your king,
riding on a young donkey.”
16 His disciples did not understand this at the time; but when Jesus had been raised to glory, they remembered that the scripture said this about him and that they had done this for him.
17 The people who had been with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from death had reported what had happened. 18 That was why the crowd met him—because they heard that he had performed this miracle. 19 The Pharisees then said to one another, “You see, we are not succeeding at all! Look, the whole world is following him!”
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Some Greeks were among those who had gone to Jerusalem to worship during the festival. 21 They went to Philip (he was from Bethsaida in Galilee) and said, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew, and the two of them went and told Jesus. 23 Jesus answered them, “The hour has now come for the Son of Man to receive great glory. 24 I am telling you the truth: a grain of wheat remains no more than a single grain unless it is dropped into the ground and dies. If it does die, then it produces many grains. 25 Those who love their own life will lose it; those who hate their own life in this world will keep it for life eternal. 26 Whoever wants to serve me must follow me, so that my servant will be with me where I am. And my Father will honor anyone who serves me.
Jesus Speaks about His Death
27 “Now my heart is troubled—and what shall I say? Shall I say, ‘Father, do not let this hour come upon me’? But that is why I came—so that I might go through this hour of suffering. 28 Father, bring glory to your name!”
Then a voice spoke from heaven, “I have brought glory to it, and I will do so again.”
29 The crowd standing there heard the voice, and some of them said it was thunder, while others said, “An angel spoke to him!”
30 But Jesus said to them, “It was not for my sake that this voice spoke, but for yours. 31 Now is the time for this world to be judged; now the ruler of this world will be overthrown. 32 When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to me.” ( 33 In saying this he indicated the kind of death he was going to suffer.)
34 The crowd answered, “Our Law tells us that the Messiah will live forever. How, then, 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 among you a little longer. Continue on your way while you have the light, so that the darkness will not come upon you; for the one who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. 36 Believe in the light, then, while you have it, so that you will be the people of the light.”
The Unbelief of the People
After Jesus said this, he went off and hid himself from them. 37 Even though he had performed all these miracles in their presence, they did not believe in him, 38 so that what the prophet Isaiah had said might come true:
“Lord, who believed the message we told?
To whom did the Lord reveal his power?”
39 And so they were not able to believe, because Isaiah also said,
40 “God has blinded their eyes
and closed their minds,
so that their eyes would not see,
and their minds would not understand,
and they would not turn to me, says God,
for me to heal them.”
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him.
42 Even then, many Jewish authorities believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees they did not talk about it openly, so as not to be expelled from the synagogue. 43 They loved human approval rather than the approval of God.
Judgment by Jesus' Words
44 Jesus said in a loud voice, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in him who sent me. 45 Whoever sees me sees also him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. 47 If people hear my message and do not obey it, I will not judge them. I came, not to judge the world, but to save it. 48 Those who reject me and do not accept my message have one who will judge them. The words I have spoken will be their judge on the last day! 49 This is true, because I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has commanded me what I must say and speak. 50 And I know that his command brings eternal life. What I say, then, is what the Father has told me to say.”

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.
