A Fresh Translation of John 12

     Yeshua then, before six days of the Pascha came into Beit-Anyah, where El’azar was, whom Yeshua raised from the dead. They then made dinner for Him there, and Marta was serving, yet El’azar was one of those reclining at table together with Him. Mariam then having gotten a litra of very expensive, unadulterated myrrhed Spikenard oil anointed his feet; and the house was filled from the odor of the myrrh. Yet Y’hudah the Iskariot one of His disciples, the one intending to hand Him over, says, “Because of what wasn’t this myrrh sold for three hundred denarii and it given to the destitute?” Yet he  said this not because about the destitute was a concern to him, but because he was a thief and and in possession of the money box he lifted the money being tossed into it. Yeshua then said, “Let her go, so that she should keep it for the day of My entombment; because you always have the destitute with yourselves, yet you don’t always have Me.

     A lot of crowd from the Iudaeans then knew that He is there and came not just because of Yeshua, but so that they would also see El’azar whom He raised from the dead. Yet the High Priests resolved so that they should also kill El’azar, because many of the Idudaeans went because of him and were putting their trust into Yeshua.

     On the morrow, the lot of crowd which came for the holy day, having heard that “Yeshua is coming into Hierosoluma,” got the fronds of palm trees and came out for meeting Him and were screaming, “HOSHIANA!!! BLESSED IS THE ONE COMING IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, AND THE KING OF ISRAEL!!!”

     Yet Yeshua, having found a little donkey sat on it, just like it is having been written, “Don’t panic, daughter of Zion; look! Your king is coming, having sat on the foal of a donkey.”

     And His disciples didn’t know these things the first time, but when Yeshua was glorified then they were reminded that these things were having been written upon Him and they did these things to Him. The crowd then which is with Him when He called El’azar out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying. Because of this, the crowd met Him, because they heard for Him to have done this omen. The Pharisees then said to one another, “Gaze at it that you profited nothing; look the whole universe went behind Him!”

     And some Greeks were from those going up so that they would be prostrating themselves at the holy day; these then approached Philippos who was from Beit-Zata of Galilee and questioned him saying, “Lord, we wish to see Yeshua.” Philippos comes and speaks to Andreas, Andreas and Philippos come and speak to Yeshua. Yet Yeshua replied to them saying, “The hour has come so that the Son of Adam would be glorified. Amen amen I say to you, if the grain of wheat having fallen into the ground should die, it stays put alone; yet if it should die, it brings a lot of fruit. The person having affection for his psyche destroys it, and the person hating his psyche within the order of this world will guard it as far as  the life of the Eternal One. If someone would serve Me, let him follow Me, and where I am there also the servant which is Mine will be; if someone would serve Me the Father will value him.

     “Now My psyche has been upset, and what would I say? ‘Father, rescue Me from this hour’? But because of this I came as far as this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” A voice then came from the sky, “I both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd then having stood and heard were saying thunder to have happened, others were saying, “An angel had talked to Him.” Yeshua replied and said, “This voice hadn’t happened because of Me but because of you people. The decision point of this universe is now. The ruler of this universe will be thrown out outside now; and if I Myself would be raised high from the ground, I will drag everyone to Myself.” Yet he was saying this thing pointing out by what kind of death He was about to die. The crowd responded to Him, “We heard from the Torah that the Christ stays put into the eon, and how are you saying that there is a need to raise high the Son of Adam?” Yeshua then said to them, “The Light is still among you people a little time. Walk like you possess the Light, so that the darkness won’t seize you; and the person walking within the darkness doesn’t know where he’s going. As you possess the Light, put your trust into the Light, so that you would become sons of the Light.”

     Yeshua talked these things, and having come out He was hidden away from them. Yet as many of His omens having been done in front of them they weren’t putting their trust into Him, so that the message of Isaiah the prophet would be filled to the brim which He said, “Lord, who believed what is heard from us? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?” Because of this they couldn’t place their trust, because again, Isaiah says, “He had blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they wouldn’t see with the eyes and comprehend with the heart and would turn around, and I would cure them.” Isaiah said these things because he saw His reputation, and talked about Him. Nevertheless though many from the principle people put their trust into Him, but because of the Pharisees they weren’t confessing Him so that they wouldn’t become excommunicate; because they loved what human beings thought more than what God thought.

     Yet Yeshua shouted and said, “The person putting his trust into Me doesn’t put his trust into Me but into the One having sent Me, and the person gazing on Me gazes on the One having sent Me. I am a Light having come into the universe, so that every single person who puts their trust into Me would not make his home within the darkness. And if anyone should hear these words from me and shouldn’t guard them, I’m not making a decision about him; because I didn’t come so that I would make a decision about the universe, but so that I would rescue the universe. The person canceling Me and not getting My words has the one making a decision about him; that message which I talked will make a decision about him on the last day. Because I didn’t talk from Myself, but the Father having sent Me had given the command what I should say and what I should talk. And I know that His command is the life of the Eternal One. What things then which I talk, just like the Father told Me, in this way I am talking.
