Johannes 12

² Der gjorde de da et Aftensmåltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.

² So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.

⁴ Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forrådte ham:

⁴ But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, *said,

⁶ Men dette sagde han, ikke fordi han brød sig om de fattige, men fordi han var en Tyv og havde Pungen og bar, hvad der blev lagt deri.

⁶ Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.

⁸ De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid."

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”

¹⁰ Men Ypperstepræsterne rådsloge om også at slå Lazarus ihjel:

¹⁰ But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also;

¹² Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,

¹² On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

¹⁴ Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpå, som der er skrevet:

¹⁴ Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,

¹⁶ Dette forstode hans Disciple ikke først; men da Jesus var herliggjort, da kom de i Hu, at dette var skrevet om ham, og at de havde gjort dette for ham.

¹⁶ These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

¹⁸ Det var også derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.

¹⁸ For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

²⁰ Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gå op for at tilbede på Højtiden.

²⁰ Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

²² Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.

²² Philip *came and *told Andrew; Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus.

²⁴ Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvis ikke Hvedekornet falder i Jorden og dør, bliver det ene; men dersom det dør, bærer det megen Frugt.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

²⁶ Om nogen tjener mig, han følge mig, og hvor jeg er, der skal også min Tjener være; om nogen tjener mig, ham skal Faderen ære.

²⁶ If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

²⁸ Fader herliggør dit Navn!" Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: "Både har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det."

²⁸ Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

³⁰ Jesus svarede og sagde: "Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.

³⁰ Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

³² og jeg skal, når jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig."

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”

³⁴ Skaren svarede ham: "Vi have hørt af Loven, at Kristus bliver evindelig, og hvorledes siger da du, at Menneskesønnen bør ophøjes? Hvem er denne Menneskesøn?"

³⁴ The crowd then answered Him, “We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁶ Medens I have Lyset, tror på Lyset, for at I kunne blive Lysets Børn!" Dette talte Jesus, og han gik bort og blev skjult for dem.

³⁶ While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

³⁸ for at Profeten Esajas's Ord skulde opfyldes, som han har sagt: "Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os, og for hvem blev Herrens Arm åbenbaret?"

³⁸ This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

⁴⁰ "Han har blindet deres Øjne og forhærdet deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og forstå med Hjertet og omvende sig, så jeg kunde helbrede dem."

⁴⁰ “He has blinded their eyes and He hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.”

⁴² Alligevel var der dog mange, endogså af Rådsherrerne, som troede på ham; men for Farisæernes Skyld bekendte de det ikke, for at de ikke skulde blive udelukkede af Synagogen;

⁴² Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue;

⁴⁴ Men Jesus råbte og sagde: "Den, som tror på mig, tror ikke på mig, men på ham, som sendte mig,

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

⁴⁶ Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror på mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.

⁴⁶ I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

⁴⁸ Den, som foragter mig og ikke modtager mine Ord, har den, som dømmer ham; det Ord, som jeg har talt, det skal dømme ham på den yderste Dag.

⁴⁸ He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

⁵⁰ Og jeg ved, at hans Befaling er evigt Liv. Altså, hvad jeg taler, taler jeg således, som Faderen har sagt mig." 

⁵⁰ I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”
