Chapter 12
Mary Anoints Jesus
1
- Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, [the hometown of]… Lazarus, whom [He] had raised from [the] dead.
οὖν ἓξ ἡμερῶν πρὸ τοῦ πάσχα Ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθανίαν ὅπου ἦν Λάζαρος ὃν Ἰησοῦς ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν oun hex hēmerōn pro tou pascha Ho Iēsous ēlthen eis Bēthanian hopou ēn Lazaros hon Iēsous ēgeiren ek nekrōn — NA/TR · 1
2
So they hosted a dinner for [Jesus] there. - Martha served, and Lazarus was among… those reclining at the table with Him.
οὖν ἐποίησαν δεῖπνον αὐτῷ ἐκεῖ καὶ ἡ Μάρθα διηκόνει δὲ ὁ Λάζαρος ἦν εἷς ἐκ τῶν ἀνακειμένων σὺν αὐτῷ oun epoiēsan deipnon autō ekei kai hē Martha diēkonei de ho Lazaros ēn heis ek tōn anakeimenōn syn autō — NA/TR · 2
3
Then Mary took about a pint of expensive perfume, made of pure nard, [and] she anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped [them] with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
οὖν ἡ Μαριὰμ λαβοῦσα λίτραν πολυτίμου μύρου πιστικῆς νάρδου ἤλειψεν τοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοὺς πόδας καὶ ἐξέμαξεν αὐτοῦ πόδας τοὺς αὐτῆς ταῖς θριξὶν δὲ ἡ οἰκία ἐπληρώθη ἐκ τῆς ὀσμῆς τοῦ μύρου oun hē Mariam labousa litran polytimou myrou pistikēs nardou ēleipsen tou Iēsou tous podas kai exemaxen autou podas tous autēs tais thrixin de hē oikia eplērōthē ek tēs osmēs tou myrou — NA/TR · 3
4
But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was going to betray Him, asked,
δὲ εἷς ἐκ αὐτοῦ τῶν μαθητῶν Ἰούδας ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης ὁ μέλλων παραδιδόναι αὐτὸν Λέγει de heis ek autou tōn mathētōn Ioudas ho Iskariōtēs ho mellōn paradidonai auton Legei — NA/TR · 4
5
“Why… wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and [the money] given to [the] poor?
Διὰ τί οὐκ τοῦτο τὸ μύρον ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς Dia ti ouk touto to myron eprathē triakosiōn dēnariōn kai edothē ptōchois — NA/TR · 5
6
- [Judas] did not say… this because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into [it].
δὲ εἶπεν οὐχ τοῦτο ὅτι αὐτῷ ἔμελεν περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἀλλ’ ὅτι ἦν κλέπτης καὶ ἔχων τὸ γλωσσόκομον ἐβάσταζεν τὰ βαλλόμενα de eipen ouch touto hoti autō emelen peri tōn ptōchōn all’ hoti ēn kleptēs kai echōn to glōssokomon ebastazen ta ballomena — NA/TR · 6
7
“Leave her alone…, - Jesus replied. “She has kept [this perfume] in preparation for the day of My burial.
Ἄφες αὐτήν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν τηρήσῃ αὐτό ἵνα εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ μου ἐνταφιασμοῦ Aphes autēn oun ho Iēsous Eipen tērēsē auto hina eis tēn hēmeran tou mou entaphiasmou — NA/TR · 7
8
- The poor you will always have… with you, but {you will} not always have Me.
γὰρ τοὺς πτωχοὺς ἔχετε πάντοτε μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν δὲ οὐ πάντοτε ἔχετε ἐμὲ gar tous ptōchous echete pantote meth’ heautōn de ou pantote echete eme — NA/TR · 8
The Plot to Kill Lazarus
9
Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews learned that [Jesus] was there. And they came not only because of [Him], but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from [the] dead.
οὖν ὁ πολὺς ὄχλος ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων Ἔγνω ὅτι ἐστιν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἦλθον οὐ μόνον διὰ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἀλλ’ καὶ ἵνα ἴδωσιν τὸν Λάζαρον ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν oun ho polys ochlos ek tōn Ioudaiōn Egnō hoti estin ekei kai ēlthon ou monon dia ton Iēsoun all’ kai hina idōsin ton Lazaron hon ēgeiren ek nekrōn — NA/TR · 9
10
[So] the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἐβουλεύσαντο ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸν Λάζαρον καὶ de hoi archiereis ebouleusanto hina apokteinōsin ton Lazaron kai — NA/TR · 10
11
for on account of him many of the Jews were deserting [them] and believing in Jesus.
ὅτι δι’ αὐτὸν πολλοὶ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὑπῆγον καὶ ἐπίστευον εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν hoti di’ auton polloi tōn Ioudaiōn hypēgon kai episteuon eis ton Iēsoun — NA/TR · 11
The Triumphal Entry
12
The next day the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Τῇ ἐπαύριον ὁ πολὺς ὄχλος ὁ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν ἀκούσαντες ὅτι ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔρχεται εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα Tē epaurion ho polys ochlos ho elthōn eis tēn heortēn akousantes hoti ho Iēsous erchetai eis Hierosolyma — NA/TR · 12
13
They took - palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in [the] name of [the] Lord!” “[ Blessed is ] the King of Israel!”
ἔλαβον τὰ τῶν φοινίκων βαΐα καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ὑπάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐκραύγαζον Ὡσαννά Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου Καὶ ὁ Βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ elabon ta tōn phoinikōn baia kai exēlthon eis hypantēsin autō kai ekraugazon Hōsanna Eulogēmenos ho erchomenos en onomati Kyriou Kai ho Basileus tou Israēl — NA/TR · 13
14
- Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, as it is written:
δὲ ὁ Εὑρὼν ὀνάριον Ἰησοῦς ἐκάθισεν ἐπ’ αὐτό καθώς ἐστιν γεγραμμένον de ho Heurōn onarion Iēsous ekathisen ep’ auto kathōs estin gegrammenon — NA/TR · 14
15
“Do not be afraid…, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey.”
φοβοῦ Μὴ θυγάτηρ Σιών ἰδοὺ σου ὁ Βασιλεύς ἔρχεται καθήμενος ἐπὶ πῶλον ὄνου phobou Mē thygatēr Siōn idou sou ho Basileus erchetai kathēmenos epi pōlon onou — NA/TR · 15
16
vvv At first His disciples {did} not understand these things, but after Jesus was glorified they remembered what had been done to Him, [ and they realized] that these very things had also {been} written about Him.
τὸ πρῶτον αὐτοῦ οἱ μαθηταὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν Ταῦτα ἀλλ’ ὅτε Ἰησοῦς ἐδοξάσθη τότε ἐμνήσθησαν ἐποίησαν ταῦτα αὐτῷ ὅτι ταῦτα ἦν καὶ γεγραμμένα ἐπ’ αὐτῷ to prōton autou hoi mathētai ouk egnōsan Tauta all’ hote Iēsous edoxasthē tote emnēsthēsan epoiēsan tauta autō hoti tauta ēn kai gegrammena ep’ autō — NA/TR · 16
17
Meanwhile, many people who had been with [Jesus] when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from [the] dead continued to testify.
οὖν ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ὢν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὅτε ἐφώνησεν τὸν Λάζαρον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν Ἐμαρτύρει oun ho ochlos ho ōn met’ autou hote ephōnēsen ton Lazaron ek tou mnēmeiou kai ēgeiren auton ek nekrōn Emartyrei — NA/TR · 17
18
That is also why… the crowd went out to meet Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ὁ ὄχλος ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἤκουσαν αὐτὸν πεποιηκέναι τοῦτο τὸ σημεῖον dia touto kai ho ochlos hypēntēsen autō hoti ēkousan auton pepoiēkenai touto to sēmeion — NA/TR · 18
19
Then the Pharisees said to one another, “You can see that this is doing you no good… Look [how] the whole world has gone after Him!
οὖν Οἱ Φαρισαῖοι εἶπαν πρὸς ἑαυτούς Θεωρεῖτε ὅτι ὠφελεῖτε οὐκ οὐδέν ἴδε ὁ κόσμος ἀπῆλθεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ oun Hoi Pharisaioi eipan pros heautous Theōreite hoti ōpheleite ouk ouden ide ho kosmos apēlthen opisō autou — NA/TR · 19
Jesus Predicts His Death
20
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
δὲ Ἦσαν τινες Ἕλληνές ἐκ τῶν ἀναβαινόντων ἵνα προσκυνήσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ de Ēsan tines Hellēnes ek tōn anabainontōn hina proskynēsōsin en tē heortē — NA/TR · 20
21
- They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him…, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.
οὖν οὗτοι προσῆλθον Φιλίππῳ τῷ ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες Κύριε θέλομεν ἰδεῖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν oun houtoi prosēlthon Philippō tō apo Bēthsaida tēs Galilaias kai ērōtōn auton legontes Kyrie thelomen idein ton Iēsoun — NA/TR · 21
22
- Philip - relayed [this appeal] to Andrew, [and both of them]… went and told Jesus.
ὁ Φίλιππος ἔρχεται καὶ λέγει τῷ Ἀνδρέᾳ Ἀνδρέας καὶ Φίλιππος ἔρχεται καὶ λέγουσιν τῷ Ἰησοῦ ho Philippos erchetai kai legei tō Andrea Andreas kai Philippos erchetai kai legousin tō Iēsou — NA/TR · 22
23
But Jesus replied…, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
δὲ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων ἡ ὥρα Ἐλήλυθεν ἵνα ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου δοξασθῇ de Ho Iēsous apokrinetai autois legōn hē hōra Elēlythen hina ho Huios tou anthrōpou doxasthē — NA/TR · 23
24
Truly, truly, I tell you, unless… a kernel of wheat falls to the ground [and] dies, it remains only [a seed]. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐὰν μὴ ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου πεσὼν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἀποθάνῃ αὐτὸς μένει μόνος δὲ ἐὰν ἀποθάνῃ φέρει πολὺν καρπὸν amēn amēn legō hymin ean mē ho kokkos tou sitou pesōn eis tēn gēn apothanē autos menei monos de ean apothanē pherei polyn karpon — NA/TR · 24
25
Whoever loves his life will lose it, [but] whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
ὁ φιλῶν αὐτοῦ τὴν ψυχὴν ἀπολλύει αὐτήν καὶ ὁ μισῶν αὐτοῦ τὴν ψυχὴν ἐν τούτῳ τῷ κόσμῳ φυλάξει αὐτήν εἰς αἰώνιον ζωὴν ho philōn autou tēn psychēn apollyei autēn kai ho misōn autou tēn psychēn en toutō tō kosmō phylaxei autēn eis aiōnion zōēn — NA/TR · 25
26
If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, - My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
ἐὰν τις διακονῇ ἐμοί ἀκολουθείτω ἐμοὶ καὶ ὅπου ἐγὼ εἰμὶ ἐκεῖ ὁ ἐμὸς ὁ διάκονος ἔσται καὶ ἐάν τις διακονῇ ἐμοὶ ὁ Πατήρ τιμήσει αὐτὸν ean tis diakonē emoi akoloutheitō emoi kai hopou egō eimi ekei ho emos ho diakonos estai kai ean tis diakonē emoi ho Patēr timēsei auton — NA/TR · 26
27
Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose… that I have come to this hour.
Νῦν μου ἡ ψυχή τετάρακται καὶ τί εἴπω Πάτερ σῶσόν με ἐκ ταύτης τῆς ὥρας ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο ἦλθον εἰς ταύτην τὴν ὥραν Nyn mou hē psychē tetaraktai kai ti eipō Pater sōson me ek tautēs tēs hōras alla dia touto ēlthon eis tautēn tēn hōran — NA/TR · 27
28
Father, glorify Your name! Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified [it], and I will glorify [it] again.
Πάτερ δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα οὖν φωνὴ Ἦλθεν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ Καὶ ἐδόξασα καὶ δοξάσω πάλιν Pater doxason sou to onoma oun phōnē Ēlthen ek tou ouranou Kai edoxasa kai doxasō palin — NA/TR · 28
29
- The crowd standing [there] heard [it] [and] said that it had thundered. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.
οὖν Ὁ ὄχλος ὁ ἑστὼς καὶ ἀκούσας ἔλεγεν γεγονέναι Βροντὴν ἄλλοι ἔλεγον Ἄγγελος λελάληκεν αὐτῷ oun Ho ochlos ho hestōs kai akousas elegen gegonenai Brontēn alloi elegon Angelos lelalēken autō — NA/TR · 29
30
In response…, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit…, but yours.
Ἀπεκρίθη καὶ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὕτη ἡ φωνὴ γέγονεν Οὐ δι’ ἐμὲ ἀλλὰ δι’ ὑμᾶς Apekrithē kai Iēsous eipen hautē hē phōnē gegonen Ou di’ eme alla di’ hymas — NA/TR · 30
31
Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.
νῦν κρίσις ἐστὶν τούτου τοῦ κόσμου νῦν ὁ ἄρχων τούτου τοῦ κόσμου ἐκβληθήσεται ἔξω nyn krisis estin toutou tou kosmou nyn ho archōn toutou tou kosmou ekblēthēsetai exō — NA/TR · 31
32
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to Myself.
κἀγὼ ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἑλκύσω πάντας πρὸς ἐμαυτόν kagō ean hypsōthō ek tēs gēs helkysō pantas pros emauton — NA/TR · 32
33
- He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
δὲ ἔλεγεν τοῦτο σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ ἤμελλεν ἀποθνήσκειν de elegen touto sēmainōn poiō thanatō ēmellen apothnēskein — NA/TR · 33
34
- The crowd replied -, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ will remain vvv vvv forever. [So] how {can} You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?
οὖν ὁ ὄχλος Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ὅτι ὁ Χριστὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου δεῖ ὑψωθῆναι τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου oun ho ochlos Apekrithē autō Hēmeis ēkousamen ek tou nomou hoti ho Christos menei eis ton aiōna kai pōs sy legeis hoti ton Huion tou anthrōpou dei hypsōthēnai tis estin houtos ho Huios tou anthrōpou — NA/TR · 34
35
Then Jesus told them, “[For] a little while longer, the Light will be among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness vvv will not overtake you. The [one who] walks in the darkness {does} not know where he is going.
οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἔτι μικρὸν χρόνον τὸ φῶς ἐστιν ἐν ὑμῖν περιπατεῖτε ὡς ἔχετε τὸ φῶς ἵνα σκοτία μὴ καταλάβῃ ὑμᾶς καὶ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ οὐκ οἶδεν ποῦ ὑπάγει oun ho Iēsous Eipen autois Eti mikron chronon to phōs estin en hymin peripateite hōs echete to phōs hina skotia mē katalabē hymas kai ho peripatōn en tē skotia ouk oiden pou hypagei — NA/TR · 35
36
While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of light. [After] Jesus had spoken these things, He went away [and] was hidden from them.
ὡς ἔχετε τὸ φῶς πιστεύετε εἰς τὸ φῶς ἵνα γένησθε υἱοὶ φωτὸς Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησεν Ταῦτα καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἐκρύβη ἀπ’ αὐτῶν hōs echete to phōs pisteuete eis to phōs hina genēsthe huioi phōtos Iēsous elalēsen Tauta kai apelthōn ekrybē ap’ autōn — NA/TR · 36
Belief and Unbelief
37
Although [Jesus] had performed so many signs in their presence…, vvv they still did not believe in Him.
δὲ αὐτοῦ πεποιηκότος Τοσαῦτα σημεῖα ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν de autou pepoiēkotos Tosauta sēmeia emprosthen autōn ouk episteuon eis auton — NA/TR · 37
38
This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet -: “Lord, who has believed our message? And to whom {has} the arm of [the] Lord been revealed?”
ἵνα πληρωθῇ ὁ λόγος Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου ὃν εἶπεν Κύριε τίς ἐπίστευσεν ἡμῶν τῇ ἀκοῇ καὶ τίνι ὁ βραχίων Κυρίου ἀπεκαλύφθη hina plērōthē ho logos Ēsaiou tou prophētou hon eipen Kyrie tis episteusen hēmōn tē akoē kai tini ho brachiōn Kyriou apekalyphthē — NA/TR · 38
39
For this reason… they were unable… to believe. For again, Isaiah says:
Διὰ τοῦτο ἠδύναντο οὐκ πιστεύειν ὅτι πάλιν Ἠσαΐας εἶπεν Dia touto ēdynanto ouk pisteuein hoti palin Ēsaias eipen — NA/TR · 39
40
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that vvv they cannot see with [their] eyes, and understand with [their] hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.”
Τετύφλωκεν αὐτῶν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ ἐπώρωσεν αὐτῶν τὴν καρδίαν ἵνα μὴ ἴδωσιν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ νοήσωσιν τῇ καρδίᾳ καὶ στραφῶσιν καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς Tetyphlōken autōn tous ophthalmous kai epōrōsen autōn tēn kardian hina mē idōsin tois ophthalmois kai noēsōsin tē kardia kai straphōsin kai iasomai autous — NA/TR · 40
41
Isaiah said these things because he saw [Jesus’] glory and spoke about Him.
Ἠσαΐας εἶπεν Ταῦτα ὅτι εἶδεν αὐτοῦ τὴν δόξαν καὶ ἐλάλησεν περὶ αὐτοῦ Ēsaias eipen Tauta hoti eiden autou tēn doxan kai elalēsen peri autou — NA/TR · 41
42
Nevertheless…, many of the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees vvv they did not confess [Him], for fear that… they would be put out of the synagogue.
ὅμως μέντοι καὶ πολλοὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν ἀλλὰ διὰ τοὺς Φαρισαίους οὐχ ὡμολόγουν ἵνα μὴ γένωνται ἀποσυνάγωγοι homōs mentoi kai polloi ek tōn archontōn episteusan eis auton alla dia tous Pharisaious ouch hōmologoun hina mē genōntai aposynagōgoi — NA/TR · 42
43
For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.
γὰρ ἠγάπησαν τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ gar ēgapēsan tēn doxan tōn anthrōpōn mallon ēper tēn doxan tou Theou — NA/TR · 43
44
Then Jesus cried out…, “Whoever believes in Me {does} not believe in Me [alone], but in the [One who] sent Me.
δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔκραξεν καὶ εἶπεν Ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ πιστεύει εἰς ἐμὲ ἀλλὰ εἰς τὸν πέμψαντά με de Iēsous ekraxen kai eipen Ho pisteuōn eis eme ou pisteuei eis eme alla eis ton pempsanta me — NA/TR · 44
45
And whoever sees Me sees the [One who] sent Me.
καὶ ὁ θεωρῶν ἐμὲ θεωρεῖ τὸν πέμψαντά με kai ho theōrōn eme theōrei ton pempsanta me — NA/TR · 45
46
I have come into the world [as] a light, so that vvv no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness.
ἐγὼ ἐλήλυθα εἰς τὸν κόσμον φῶς ἵνα πᾶς μὴ ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ μείνῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ egō elēlytha eis ton kosmon phōs hina pas mē ho pisteuōn eis eme meinē en tē skotia — NA/TR · 46
47
- As for anyone who hears My words and {does} not keep [them], I {do} not judge him. For vvv I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
Καὶ ἐάν τίς ἀκούσῃ μου τῶν ῥημάτων καὶ μὴ φυλάξῃ ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω αὐτόν γὰρ οὐ ἦλθον ἵνα κρίνω τὸν κόσμον ἀλλ’ ἵνα σώσω τὸν κόσμον Kai ean tis akousē mou tōn rhēmatōn kai mē phylaxē egō ou krinō auton gar ou ēlthon hina krinō ton kosmon all’ hina sōsō ton kosmon — NA/TR · 47
48
There is a judge [for] the [one who] rejects Me and vvv does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
ἔχει τὸν κρίνοντα αὐτόν ὁ ἀθετῶν ἐμὲ καὶ μὴ λαμβάνων μου τὰ ῥήματά ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησα ἐκεῖνος κρινεῖ αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ echei ton krinonta auton ho athetōn eme kai mē lambanōn mou ta rhēmata ho logos hon elalēsa ekeinos krinei auton en tē eschatē hēmera — NA/TR · 48
49
- I {have} not spoken on My own, but the Father [who] sent Me vvv vvv has commanded Me what to say and how to say it.
Ὅτι ἐγὼ οὐκ ἐλάλησα ἐξ ἐμαυτοῦ ἀλλ’ ὁ Πατὴρ αὐτός πέμψας με δέδωκεν μοι ἐντολὴν τί εἴπω καὶ τί λαλήσω Hoti egō ouk elalēsa ex emautou all’ ho Patēr autos pempsas me dedōken moi entolēn ti eipō kai ti lalēsō — NA/TR · 49
50
And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.
καὶ οἶδα ὅτι αὐτοῦ ἡ ἐντολὴ ἐστιν αἰώνιός ζωὴ οὖν ἐγὼ λαλῶ καθὼς ἃ ὁ Πατήρ εἴρηκέν μοι οὕτως λαλῶ kai oida hoti autou hē entolē estin aiōnios zōē oun egō lalō kathōs ha ho Patēr eirēken moi houtōs lalō — NA/TR · 50
