在伯大尼受膏
(太26.6-13;可14.3-9)
逾越节前六天,耶稣来到伯大尼,就是他使拉撒路从死人中复活的地方。
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2有人在那里为耶稣预备宴席;马大伺候,拉撒路也在同耶稣坐席的人中间。There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3马利亚拿着一斤极贵的纯哪哒☛“哪哒”即“甘松”。香膏,抹耶稣的脚,又用自己头发去擦,屋里充满了膏的香气。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有一个门徒,就是那将要出卖耶稣的加略人犹大,说:Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5“为什么不把这香膏卖三百个银币去周济穷人呢?”Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6他说这话,并不是关心穷人,而是因为他是个贼,又管钱囊,常偷取钱囊中所存的。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耶稣说:“由她吧!她这香膏本是为我的安葬之日留着的。Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8因为常有穷人和你们在一起,但是你们不常有我。”For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
杀害拉撒路的阴谋
9有一大群犹太人知道耶稣在那里,就来了,不但是为耶稣的缘故,也是要看耶稣使他从死人中复活的拉撒路。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于是众祭司长商议连拉撒路也要杀了,But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11因为有许多犹太人为了拉撒路的缘故,开始背离他们,信了耶稣。荣入圣城
(太21.1-11;可11.1-11;路19.28-40)
Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12第二天,有一大群上来过节的人听见耶稣要来耶路撒冷,On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13就拿着棕树枝出去迎接他,喊着: “和散那☛“和散那”:原是求救的意思,在此是称颂的话。,以色列的王! 奉主名来的是应当称颂的!”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耶稣找到了一匹驴驹,就骑上,如经上所记:And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15“锡安的儿女☛“儿女”:原文直译“女儿”。啊,不要惧怕! 看哪,你的王来了; 他骑在驴驹上。”Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16门徒当初不明白这些事,等到耶稣得了荣耀后才想起这些话是指他写的,并且人们果然对他做了这些事。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当耶稣呼唤拉撒路,使他从死人中复活出坟墓的时候,同耶稣在那里的众人就作见证。The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18众人因听见耶稣行了这神迹,就去迎接他。For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19法利赛人彼此说:“你们看,你们一事无成,世人都随着他去了。”The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
希腊人求见耶稣
20那时,上来过节礼拜的人中,有几个希腊人。And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21他们来见加利利的伯赛大人腓力,请求他说:“先生,我们想见耶稣。”The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22腓力去告诉安得烈,然后安得烈同腓力去告诉耶稣。Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23耶稣回答他们说:“人子得荣耀的时候到了。And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24我实实在在地告诉你们,一粒麦子不落在地里死了,仍旧是一粒;若是死了,就结出许多子粒来。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爱惜自己性命的,就丧失性命;那恨恶自己在这世上的性命的,要保全性命到永生。He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26若有人服事我,就当跟从我;我在哪里,服事我的人也要在哪里;若有人服事我,我父必尊重他。”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.
人子必须被举起来
27“我现在心里忧愁,我说什么才好呢?说‘父啊,救我脱离这时候’吗?但我正是为这时候来的。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父啊,愿你荣耀你的名!”于是有声音从天上来,说:“我已经荣耀了我的名,还要再荣耀。”Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29站在旁边的众人听见,就说:“打雷了。”另有的说:“有天使对他说话。”The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30耶稣回答说:“这声音不是为我,而是为你们来的。Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31现在正是这世界受审判的时候;现在这世界的统治者要被赶出去。Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32我从地上被举起来的时候,我要吸引万人来归我。”And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33耶稣这话是指自己将要怎样死说的。This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34众人就回答他:“我们听见律法书上说,基督是永存的;你怎么说,人子必须被举起来呢?这人子是谁呢?”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耶稣对他们说:“光在你们中间为时不多了,应该趁着有光的时候行走,免得黑暗临到你们;那在黑暗里行走的,不知道往何处去。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你们趁着有光,要信从这光,使你们成为光明之子。”犹太人的不信
耶稣说了这些话,就离开他们隐藏了。
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他虽然在他们面前行了许多神迹,他们还是不信他。But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38这是要应验以赛亚先知所说的话: “主啊,我们所传的有谁信呢? 主的膀臂向谁显露呢?”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他们所以不能信,因为以赛亚又说:Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40“主使他们瞎了眼, 使他们硬了心, 免得他们眼睛看见, 他们心里明白,回转过来, 我会医治他们。”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以赛亚因看见了他的荣耀,就说了关于他的这话。These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42虽然如此,官长中却有好些信他的,只因法利赛人的缘故不敢承认,恐怕被赶出会堂。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这是因他们爱人给的尊荣过于爱神给的尊荣。For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
耶稣的道要审判人
44耶稣喊着说:“信我的人不是信我,而是信差我来的那位。Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45看见我的,就是看见差我来的那位。And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46我就是来到世上的光,使凡信我的不住在黑暗里。I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47若有人听见我的话而不遵守,我不审判他,因为我来不是要审判世人,而是要拯救世人。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弃绝我、不领受我话的人自有审判他的;我所讲的道在末日要审判他。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因为我没有凭着自己讲,而是差我来的父已经给我命令,叫我说什么,讲什么。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我也知道他的命令就是永生。所以,我讲的正是照着父所告诉我的,我就这么讲了。”And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
