1 Bet Jēzus sešas dienas priekš Lieldienām nogāja uz Betāniju, kur bija Lācars, ko viņš bija uzmodinājis no miroņiem.
2 Tur tie viņam taisīja mielastu. Marta apkalpoja, bet Lācars bija viens no tiem, kas kopā ar viņu sēdēja pie galda.
3 Tad Marija, paņēmusi mārciņu īstas, ļoti dārgas nardu eļļas, svaidīja Jēzus kājas un žāvēja viņa kājas ar saviem matiem. Un svaidāmās eļļas smarša piepildīja visu māju.
4 Bet viens no viņa mācekļiem, Jūda Iskariots, kas vēlāk viņu nodeva, sacīja:
5 „Kāpēc šī svaidāmā eļļa nav pārdota par trīssimts sudraba gabaliem, un nauda nodota nabagiem?“
6 Bet to viņš sacīja nevis tāpēc, ka viņam rūpēja nabagi, bet tāpēc, ka viņš bija zaglis un, maku turēdams, piesavinājās iemaksas.
7 Tad Jēzus sacīja: „Laid, lai tas viņai paliek manai bēru dienai!
8 Jo nabagi vienumēr ir pie jums, bet es neesmu vienumēr.“
9 Tad liels pulks jūdu dabūja zināt, ka viņš ir tur, un atnāca nevien Jēzus dēļ, bet arī, lai Lācaru redzētu, ko viņš bija uzmodinājis no miroņiem.
10 Bet augstie priesteri nolēma nokaut arī Lācaru,
11 Jo viņa dēļ daudz jūdu nogāja un ticēja Jēzum.
12 Otrā dienā liels ļaužu pulks, kas bija nācis uz svētkiem, dabūjuši zināt, ka Jēzus nāk uz Jeruzālemi,
13 Ņēma palmu zarus un izgāja viņam pretim, kliegdami: „Ozianna, slavēts, kas nāk Dieva Kunga vārdā, Israēla ķēniņš!“
14 Bet Jēzus, atradis jaunu ēzeli, uzsēdās tam virsū, kā rakstīts:
15 „Nebīsties, Ciānas meita, redzi, tavs ķēniņš nāk, sēdēdams uz ēzeļa kumeļa!“
16 To visu viņa mācekļi sākumā nesaprata, bet kad Jēzus bija ticis apskaidrots, tad viņiem ienāca prātā, ka tas par viņu bija rakstīts, un ka tāpēc tie viņam to bija darījuši.
17 Šādu liecību nodeva ļaudis, kas pie viņa bija bijuši, kad viņš Lācaru bija saucis no kapa un uzmodinājis no miro-ņiem.
18 Tāpēc arī tauta viņam bija gājusi pretim, ka viņa bija dabūjusi zināt, ka viņš šo zīmi bija darījis.
19 Bet farizēji runāja savā starpā: „Jūs redzat, ka jūs nekā nespējat darīt! Redziet, visa pasaule iet viņam pakaļ!“
20 Bet starp tiem, kas bija atnākuši svētkos, lai pielūgtu, bija daži grieķi.
21 Tie atnāca pie Filipa, kas bija no Betsaidas Galilejā, un viņu lūdza: „Kungs, mēs gribam Jēzu redzēt!“
22 Filips iet pie Andreja, lai viņam to sacītu. Andrejs un Filips nāk un saka to Jēzum.
23 Bet Jēzus atbild viņiem: „Ir pienākusi stunda, kad Cilvēka Dēls top pagodināts.
24 Patiesi, patiesi, es jums saku, ja kviešu grauds nekrīt zemē un nemirst, viņš paliek viens; bet ja viņš mirst, viņš nes daudz augļu.
25 Kas savu dzīvību tur mīļu, tam tā zūd, bet kas savu dzīvību šinī pasaulē ienīst, tas to paglabās mūžīgai dzīvei.
26 Ja kāds man grib kalpot, tad lai viņš seko man, jo kur es esmu, tur būs ari mans kalps; un ja kāds man kalpos, to mans Tēvs cels godā.
27 Tagad man dvēsele ir satriekta; ko lai es saku? Tēvs, izpestī mani no šās stundas? Bet tāpēc jau šai stundā esmu nācis.
28 Tēvs, pagodini savu vārdu!“ Tad balss nāca no debesīm: „Es viņu esmu pagodinājis un atkal viņu pagodināšu!“
29 Tad ļaudis, kas tur stāvēja un to bija dzirdējuši, sprieda, ka pērkons ir rūcis, bet citi sacīja: „Eņģelis ar viņu ir runājis.“
30 Bet Jēzus atbildēja: „Nevis manis dēļ šī balss atskanējusi, bet jūsu dēļ.
31 Tagad ir šīs pasaules tiesas stunda. Šīs pasaules valdnieks tagad tiks izstumts ārā.
32 Bet kad es no zemes tikšu paaugstināts, es visus vilkšu pie sevis.“
33 Bet to viņš sacīja norādīdams, kādā nāvē viņam bija mirt.
34 Tad ļaudis viņam atbildēja: „Mēs bauslībā esam mācījušies, ka Kristus paliek uz mūžu mūžiem; kā tad tu saki, ka Cilvēka Dēlam jātiek paaugstinātam? Kas ir šis Cilvēka Dēls?“
35 Tad Jēzus, viņiem sacīja: „Vēl mazu brīdi gaisma ir pie jums. Staigājiet, kamēr jums ir gaisma, lai tumsība jūs neapņem. Jo kas tumsā staigā, nezin, kurp viņš iet.
36 Ticiet gaismai, kamēr jums ir gaisma, ka jūs topat par gaismas bēr-niem!“ Tā Jēzus runāja un pēc tam nozuda viņu acīm.
37 Bet lai gan viņš tik daudz zīmju viņu priekšā bija darījis, tie tomēr neticēja viņam.
38 Tā piepildījās pravieša Jesajas vārdi, ko tas teicis: „Kungs, kas ir ticējis mūsu vēstij, un kam Dieva elkonis kļuvis zināms?“
39 Tāpēc tie nevarēja ticēt, kā Jesaja tālāk saka:
40 „Viņu acis viņš ir aptumšojis un viņu sirdis apcietinājis, lai viņi savām acīm neredzētu un nesaprastu un savās sirdīs neatgrieztos, ka es tos varētu dziedināt.“
41 To Jesaja ir sacījis tāpēc, ka tas skatīja viņa godību un sludināja par viņu.
42 Tomēr ari daudzi valdības vīri bija sākuši viņam ticēt, bet farizēju dēļ viņi to atklāti neapliecināja, lai tos neizslēgtu no draudzes.
43 Jo viņi cilvēku atzinību mīlēja vairāk nekā godu Dieva priekšā.
44 Bet Jēzus sauca: „Kas man tic, tas netic man, bet tam, kas mani sūtījis.
45 Un kas mani redz, redz to, kas mani sūtījis!
46 Es, gaisma, esmu nācis pasaulē, lai neviens, kas man tic, nepaliktu tumsībā.
47 Un ja kāds manūs vārdus dzird un neievēro, es to netiesāju; jo es neesmu nācis pasauli tiesāt, bet pasauli atpestīt.
48 Kas mani nievā un nepieņem manus vārdus, tam jau ir savs tiesas spriedējs: mans vārds, ko esmu runājis, spriedīs par viņu tiesu pastarā dienā.
49 Jo es nerunāju no sevis, bet Tēvs, kas mani sūtījis, tas man ir pavēlējis, ko lai saku un ko lai runāju.
50 Un es zinu, ka viņā pavēle ir mūžīga dzīvība. Tāpēc visu, ko runāju, es runāju, kā to mans Tēvs man ir sacījis.“
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son , which should betray him, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. 7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. 8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. 9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew 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.
10 ¶ But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 ¶ On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. 16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 ¶ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying , I have both glorified it , and will glorify it again. 29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it , said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 34 The people 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? 35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 ¶ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40 He 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. 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 ¶ Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him , lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 ¶ Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth 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. 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
