João 12 - Bíblia Online

Seis dias antes da páscoa foi Jesus a Betânia, onde estava Lázaro, a quem ele ressuscitou dentre os mortos. 
Deram-lhe aí uma ceia, e nela Marta servia, e Lázaro era um dos que estavam à mesa com ele. 
Então Maria, tomando uma libra de perfume de nardo puro, mui precioso, ungiu os pés de Jesus e enxugou-os com os seus cabelos; e a casa encheu-se do cheiro do perfume. 
Judas Iscariotes, um de seus discípulos, aquele que o havia de trair, perguntou: 
Por que não se vendeu este perfume por trezentos denários e não se deu aos pobres? 
Isto disse ele, não porque cuidasse dos pobres; mas porque era ladrão e, tendo a bolsa, subtraía o que nela se deitava. 
Respondeu Jesus: Deixai-a, a fim de que guarde isso para o dia da minha sepultura; 
porque os pobres sempre os tendes convosco, mas a mim nem sempre me tendes. 
Soube uma grande multidão dos judeus que Jesus estava ali, e foram lá não somente por causa dele, mas também para verem a Lázaro, a quem ele ressuscitara dentre os mortos. 
Mas os principais sacerdotes resolveram também tirar a vida a Lázaro, 
pois muitos judeus por causa dele se retiravam e criam em Jesus. 
No dia seguinte uma grande multidão que tinha vindo à festa, sabendo que Jesus vinha a Jerusalém, 
tomaram ramos de palmeiras e saíram ao seu encontro, clamando: Hosana! Bendito o que vem em nome do Senhor! bendito o Rei de Israel! 
Jesus, tendo achado um jumentinho, montou nele, segundo está escrito: 
Não temas, filha de Sião, eis que vem o teu Rei, montado em um filho de jumenta. 
Seus discípulos a princípio não compreenderam tudo isto; mas quando Jesus foi glorificado, então se lembraram de que isto estava escrito a respeito dele, e de que assim lhe fizeram. 
A multidão que estava com ele, quando chamara a Lázaro do túmulo e o levantara dentre os mortos, dava testemunho. 
Por isso também a multidão lhe saiu ao encontro, porque souberam que ele tinha feito este milagre. 
De sorte que os fariseus disseram entre si: Vedes que nada conseguis; eis aí após ele foi todo o mundo. 
Entre os que tinham ido para adorar na festa havia alguns gregos; 
estes, pois, foram ter com Filipe, que era de Betsaida da Galiléia, e lhe fizeram este pedido: Senhor, queremos ver a Jesus. 
Filipe foi dizê-lo a André, e André e Filipe foram-no dizer a Jesus. 
Disse-lhes Jesus: É chegada a hora de ser glorificado o Filho do homem. 
Em verdade, em verdade vos digo: Se o grão de trigo, caindo na terra, não morrer, fica só; mas se morrer, dá muito fruto. 
Quem ama a sua vida, perdê-la-á; mas quem aborrece a sua vida neste mundo, conservá-la-á para a vida eterna. 
Se alguém me servir, siga-me, e onde eu estou, estará aquele que me serve; se alguém me servir, o Pai o honrará. 
Agora está perturbada a minha alma, e que direi? Pai, livra-me desta hora. Mas para isto foi que vim a esta hora. 
Pai, glorifica o teu nome. Veio, então, do céu esta voz: Eu já o glorifiquei, e outra vez o glorificarei. 
A multidão, pois, que ali estava e a ouvira, dizia ter havido um trovão; outros diziam que um anjo lhe falara. 
Disse Jesus: Não foi por minha causa, mas sim por vossa causa que veio esta voz. 
Agora é o juízo deste mundo; agora será expulso o príncipe deste mundo; 
e eu, quando for levantado da terra, atrairei todos a mim. 
Isto dizia, dando a entender o modo por que havia de morrer. 
Replicou o povo: Nós ouvimos da Lei que o Cristo permanece para sempre, e como dizes tu ser necessário que o Filho do homem seja levantado? quem é esse Filho do homem? 
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Ainda por um pouco a luz está entre vós. Andai enquanto tendes a luz, para que as trevas não vos apanhem; e quem anda nas trevas, não sabe para onde vai. 
Enquanto tendes a luz, crede na luz, para que vos torneis filhos da luz. Assim falou Jesus e, tendo-se retirado, escondeu-se deles. 
Embora tivesse feito tantos milagres na presença deles, não criam nele, 
para que se cumprisse a palavra proferida pelo profeta Isaías: Senhor, quem creu a nossa pregação? E a quem foi revelado o braço do Senhor? 
Não podiam crer, porque, como diz ainda Isaías: 
Cegou-lhes os olhos e endureceu-lhes o coração, Para que não vejam com os seus olhos e entendam no coração E se convertam, E eu os sare. 
Isto disse Isaías, porque viu a glória dele e dele falou. 
Contudo muitos das próprias autoridades creram nele, mas por causa dos fariseus não o confessavam, para não serem expulsos da sinagoga; 
porque prezaram mais a glória que vem dos homens, do que a glória que vem de Deus. 
Clamou Jesus, dizendo: Quem crê em mim, não crê em mim, mas naquele que me enviou; 
e quem me vê, vê aquele que me enviou. 
Eu que sou a luz, vim ao mundo, a fim de que todo o que crê em mim, não permaneça nas trevas. 
Se alguém ouvir as minhas palavras, e não as guardar, eu não o julgo; porque não vim a julgar o mundo, mas a salvar o mundo. 
Quem me despreza e não recebe as minhas palavras, tem quem o julgue; a palavra que falei, essa o julgará no último dia. 
Pois eu por mim mesmo não falei, mas o Pai que me enviou, esse mesmo me tem prescrito o que devo dizer e o que devo falar. 
Eu sei que o seu mandamento é vida eterna. Aquilo, pois, que eu falo, falo-o como o Pai mo tem dito. 

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead. 
So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table. 
Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume. 
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was to give him up), said, 
Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor? 
(He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.) 
Then Jesus said, Let her be. Let her keep what she has for the day of my death. 
The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever. 
Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life. 
Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death; 
For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus. 
The day after, a great number of people who were there for the feast, when they had the news that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 
Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel! 
And Jesus saw a young ass and took his seat on it; as the Writings say, 
Have no fear, daughter of Zion: see your King is coming, seated on a young ass. 
(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.) 
Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it. 
And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign. 
Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him. 
Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast: 
They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus. 
Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus. 
And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come. 
Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit. 
He who is in love with life will have it taken from him; and he who has no care for his life in this world will keep it for ever and ever. 
If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour. 
Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour. 
Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again. 
Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him. 
Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you. 
Now is this world to be judged: now will the ruler of this world be sent out. 
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me. 
(This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have.) 
Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? 
Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going. 
In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them. 
But though he had done such a number of signs before them, they still had no belief in him: 
So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled? 
For this reason they were unable to have belief, because Isaiah said again, 
He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well. 
(Isaiah said these words because he saw his glory. His words were about him.) 
However, a number even of the rulers had belief in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not say so openly for fear that they might be shut out from the Synagogue: 
For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God. 
Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me. 
And he who sees me, sees him who sent me. 
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark. 
And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world. 
He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day. 
For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it. 
And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.
