1 Then six days before the Passover Yahshua went into Bethania, where Lazaros was whom Yahshua had raised from among the dead. 2 Therefore they made a dinner for Him there, and Martha served, but Lazaros was one among those reclining with Him. 3 Then Mariam taking a pound of pure ointment of spikenard of great value, anointed the feet of Yahshua and wiped His feet off with her hair. Now the house had been filled from the odor of the ointment, 4 then Ioudas Iskarioth, one of His students - he who is going to betray Him - says: 5 "For what reason has this ointment not been sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" 6 (But he said this not because he had care in him for the poor, but because he was a thief and carried the case holding the savings.) 7 Therefore Yahshua said "Let her be, that she would keep this for the day of My burial. 8 For you always have the poor among yourselves, but you do not always have Me." 9 Then a great multitude from among the Judaeans learned that He is there and they came not on account of Yahshua only, but that also they would see Lazaros whom He raised from among the dead. 10 Then the high priests determined that they should also kill Lazaros, 11 because on account of him many of the Judaeans were drawn off and believed in Yahshua. 12 The next day a great crowd having come to the feast, hearing that Yahshua comes to Jerusalem, 13 they took the branches of date-palms and they went out to meet Him and they cried out: "Oh save! Blessed is He coming in the Name of Yahweh, the King of Israel!" 14 Then Yahshua finding a young ass sat upon it, just as it is written: 15 "Fear not, daughter of Sion, behold! Your King comes, sitting upon the foal of an ass!" 16 His students did not understand these things at first, but when Yahshua had been magnified, then they remembered that these things were written in reference to Him and that they had done these things for Him. 17 Therefore the crowd had testified which had been with Him when He called Lazaros from out of the tomb and raised him from among the dead. 18 For this reason also the crowd met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. 19 Therefore the Pharisees said to themselves: "You see that you are not of any help? Behold, Society goes off after Him!" 20 Now there were some Greeks among those going up that they may worship at the feast. 21 Then these had come to Philippos who is from Bethsaida of Galilaia and had asked him, saying: "Master, we wish to see Yahshua." 22 Philippos comes and speaks to Andreas, Andreas and Philippos come and speak to Yahshua. 23 Then Yahshua replies to them: "The hour has come that the Son of Man would be magnified! 24 Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falling to the ground dies, it remains alone. But if it should die, it bears much fruit. 25 He loving his life loses it, and he hating his life in this Society keeps it for eternal life! 26 If one would serve Me, he must follow Me, and where I am there also My servant shall be! If one should serve Me, the Father shall honor him! " 27 Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour? But for this reason have I come to this hour! 28 Father, magnify Your Name!" Then a voice came from heaven: "I have both magnified and again I shall magnify it!" 29 Therefore the crowd which stood and having heard it said "Thunder has come!" Others said "A messenger spoke to Him!" 30 Yahshua replied and said: "Not on account of Me has this voice come, but on account of you. 31 Now judgment is of this Society; now the ruler of this Society shall be cast out! 32 And if I am lifted up from this earth, I shall draw all to Myself!" 33 Now He said this signifying what sort of death He was about to die. 34 Then the crowd replied to Him: "We have heard from the law that the Christ abides forever, and how do You say that it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?" 35 Therefore Yahshua said to them "Yet a little the Light is with you. Walk while you have the Light, that the darkness may not overtake you, as he walking in the darkness does not know where he goes. 36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, in order that you may be sons of Light." Yahshua said these things, and having departed hid from them. 37 Now having made so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, which says: "Yahweh, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?" 39 For this reason they have not been able to believe, because again Isaiah said: 40 "He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts, that they should not see with the eyes and perceive with their hearts and turn about, that I shall heal them." 41 Isaiah said these things because he had seen His honor, and had spoken concerning Him. 42 Yet likewise even many of the leaders believed in Him, but on account of the Pharisees they would not profess it lest they would be expelled from the assembly hall, 43 for they cherished the honor of men more than even the honor of Yahweh. 44 Then Yahshua cried out and said: "He believing in Me does not believe in Me but in He who had sent Me, 45 and he seeing Me see He who has sent Me! 46 I am the Light having come into the Society, that each believing in Me should not abide in darkness! 47 And if one should hear and should not keep My words, I do not judge him. For I have not come that I judge the Society, but that I shall save the Society! 48 He rejecting Me and not receiving My words has one judging him: the Word which I have spoken, that shall judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken from of Myself, but He who has sent Me, the Father Himself, gave to Me a command, what I shall say and what I shall speak. 50 And I know that His command is eternal life. The things which I speak, just as the Father spoke to Me, thusly I speak!"
