WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ο ουν ιησουσ προ εξ ημερων του πασχα ηλθεν εισ βηθανιαν οπου ην λαζαροσ ο τεθνηκωσ ον ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων
1 Y JESÚS, seis días antes de la Pascua, vino á Bethania, donde estaba Lázaro, que había sido muerto, al cual había resucitado de los muertos.
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 εποιησαν ουν αυτω δειπνον εκει και η μαρθα διηκονει ο δε λαζαροσ εισ ην των ανακειμενων συν αυτω
2 E hiciéronle allí una cena: y Marta servía, y Lázaro era uno de los que estaban sentados á la mesa juntamente con él.
2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
3 η ουν μαρια λαβουσα λιτραν μυρου ναρδου πιστικησ πολυτιμου ηλειψεν τουσ ποδασ του ιησου και εξεμαξεν ταισ θριξιν αυτησ τουσ ποδασ αυτου η δε οικια επληρωθη εκ τησ οσμησ του μυρου
3 Entonces María tomó una libra de ungüento de nardo líquido de mucho precio, y ungió los pies de Jesús, y limpió sus pies con sus cabellos: y la casa se llenó del olor del ungüento.
3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 λεγει ουν εισ εκ των μαθητων αυτου ιουδασ σιμωνοσ ισκαριωτησ ο μελλων αυτον παραδιδοναι
4 Y dijo uno de sus discípulos, Judas Iscariote, [hijo] de Simón, el que le había de entregar:
4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 δια τι τουτο το μυρον ουκ επραθη τριακοσιων δηναριων και εδοθη πτωχοισ
5 ¿Por qué no se ha vendido este ungüento por trescientos dineros, y se dió á los pobres?
5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 ειπεν δε τουτο ουχ οτι περι των πτωχων εμελεν αυτω αλλ οτι κλεπτησ ην και το γλωσσοκομον ειχεν και τα βαλλομενα εβασταζεν
6 Mas dijo esto, no por el cuidado que él tenía de los pobres; sino porque era ladrón, y tenía la bolsa, y traía lo que se echaba en ella.
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7 ειπεν ουν ο ιησουσ αφεσ αυτην εισ την ημεραν του ενταφιασμου μου τετηρηκεν αυτο
7 Entonces Jesús dijo: Déjala: para el día de mi sepultura ha guardado esto;
7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 τουσ πτωχουσ γαρ παντοτε εχετε μεθ εαυτων εμε δε ου παντοτε εχετε
8 Porque á los pobres siempre los tenéis con vosotros, mas á mí no siempre me tenéis.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
9 εγνω ουν οχλοσ πολυσ εκ των ιουδαιων οτι εκει εστιν και ηλθον ου δια τον ιησουν μονον αλλ ινα και τον λαζαρον ιδωσιν ον ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων
9 Entonces mucha gente de los Judíos entendió que él estaba allí; y vinieron no solamente por causa de Jesús, mas también por ver á Lázaro, al cual había resucitado de los muertos.
9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned 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 εβουλευσαντο δε οι αρχιερεισ ινα και τον λαζαρον αποκτεινωσιν
10 Consultaron asimismo los príncipes de los sacerdotes, de matar también á Lázaro;
10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
11 οτι πολλοι δι αυτον υπηγον των ιουδαιων και επιστευον εισ τον ιησουν
11 Porque muchos de los Judíos iban y creían en Jesús por causa de él.
11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 τη επαυριον οχλοσ πολυσ ο ελθων εισ την εορτην ακουσαντεσ οτι ερχεται ιησουσ εισ ιεροσολυμα
12 El siguiente día, mucha gente que había venido á la fiesta, como oyeron que Jesús venía á Jerusalem,
12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 ελαβον τα βαια των φοινικων και εξηλθον εισ υπαντησιν αυτω και εκραζον ωσαννα ευλογημενοσ ο ερχομενοσ εν ονοματι κυριου βασιλευσ του ισραηλ
13 Tomaron ramos de palmas, y salieron á recibirle, y clamaban: ¡Hosanna, Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor, el Rey de Israel!
13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 ευρων δε ο ιησουσ οναριον εκαθισεν επ αυτο καθωσ εστιν γεγραμμενον
14 Y halló Jesús un asnillo, y se sentó sobre él, como está escrito:
14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
15 μη φοβου θυγατερ σιων ιδου ο βασιλευσ σου ερχεται καθημενοσ επι πωλον ονου
15 No temas, hija de Sión: he aquí tu Rey viene, sentado sobre un pollino de asna.
15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 ταυτα δε ουκ εγνωσαν οι μαθηται αυτου το πρωτον αλλ οτε εδοξασθη ιησουσ τοτε εμνησθησαν οτι ταυτα ην επ αυτω γεγραμμενα και ταυτα εποιησαν αυτω
16 Estas cosas no las entendieron sus discípulos de primero: empero cuando Jesús fué glorificado, entonces se acordaron de que estas cosas estaban escritas de él, y que le hicieron estas cosas.
16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 εμαρτυρει ουν ο οχλοσ ο ων μετ αυτου οτε τον λαζαρον εφωνησεν εκ του μνημειου και ηγειρεν αυτον εκ νεκρων
17 Y la gente que estaba con él, daba testimonio de cuando llamó á Lázaro del sepulcro, y le resucitó de los muertos.
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 δια τουτο και υπηντησεν αυτω ο οχλοσ οτι ηκουσεν τουτο αυτον πεποιηκεναι το σημειον
18 Por lo cual también había venido la gente á recibirle, porque había oído que él había hecho esta señal;
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 οι ουν φαρισαιοι ειπον προσ εαυτουσ θεωρειτε οτι ουκ ωφελειτε ουδεν ιδε ο κοσμοσ οπισω αυτου απηλθεν
19 Mas los Fariseos dijeron entre sí: ¿Veis que nada aprovecháis? he aquí, el mundo se va tras de él.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 ησαν δε τινεσ ελληνεσ εκ των αναβαινοντων ινα προσκυνησωσιν εν τη εορτη
20 Y había ciertos Griegos de los que habían subido á adorar en la fiesta:
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 ουτοι ουν προσηλθον φιλιππω τω απο βηθσαιδα τησ γαλιλαιασ και ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντεσ κυριε θελομεν τον ιησουν ιδειν
21 Estos pues, se llegaron á Felipe, que era de Bethsaida de Galilea, y rogáronle, diciendo: Señor, querríamos ver á Jesús.
21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 ερχεται φιλιπποσ και λεγει τω ανδρεα και παλιν ανδρεασ και φιλιπποσ λεγουσιν τω ιησου
22 Vino Felipe, y díjolo á Andrés: Andrés entonces, y Felipe, lo dicen á Jesús.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 ο δε ιησουσ απεκρινατο αυτοισ λεγων εληλυθεν η ωρα ινα δοξασθη ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου
23 Entonces Jesús les respondió, diciendo: La hora viene en que el Hijo del hombre ha de ser glorificado.
23 Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 αμην αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη ο κοκκοσ του σιτου πεσων εισ την γην αποθανη αυτοσ μονοσ μενει εαν δε αποθανη πολυν καρπον φερει
24 De cierto, de cierto os digo, que si el grano de trigo no cae en la tierra y muere, él solo queda; mas si muriere, mucho fruto lleva.
24 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 ο φιλων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο μισων την ψυχην αυτου εν τω κοσμω τουτω εισ ζωην αιωνιον φυλαξει αυτην
25 El que ama su vida, la perderá; y el que aborrece su vida en este mundo, para vida eterna la guardará.
25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
26 εαν εμοι διακονη τισ εμοι ακολουθειτω και οπου ειμι εγω εκει και ο διακονοσ ο εμοσ εσται και εαν τισ εμοι διακονη τιμησει αυτον ο πατηρ
26 Si alguno me sirve, sígame: y donde yo estuviere, allí también estará mi servidor. Si alguno me sirviere, mi Padre le honrará.
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 νυν η ψυχη μου τεταρακται και τι ειπω πατερ σωσον με εκ τησ ωρασ ταυτησ αλλα δια τουτο ηλθον εισ την ωραν ταυτην
27 Ahora está turbada mi alma; ¿y qué diré? Padre, sálvame de esta hora. Mas por esto he venido en esta hora.
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
28 πατερ δοξασον σου το ονομα ηλθεν ουν φωνη εκ του ουρανου και εδοξασα και παλιν δοξασω
28 Padre, glorifica tu nombre. Entonces vino una voz del cielo: Y lo he glorificado, y lo glorificaré otra vez.
28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 ο ουν οχλοσ ο εστωσ και ακουσασ ελεγεν βροντην γεγονεναι αλλοι ελεγον αγγελοσ αυτω λελαληκεν
29 Y la gente que estaba presente, y había oído, decía que había sido trueno. Otros decían: Angel le ha hablado.
29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν ου δι εμε αυτη η φωνη γεγονεν αλλα δι υμασ
30 Respondió Jesús, y dijo: No ha venido esta voz por mi causa, mas por causa de vosotros.
30 Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 νυν κρισισ εστιν του κοσμου τουτου νυν ο αρχων του κοσμου τουτου εκβληθησεται εξω
31 Ahora es el juicio de este mundo: ahora el príncipe de este mundo será echado fuera.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 καγω εαν υψωθω εκ τησ γησ παντασ ελκυσω προσ εμαυτον
32 Y yo, si fuere levantado de la tierra, á todos traeré á mí mismo.
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 τουτο δε ελεγεν σημαινων ποιω θανατω εμελλεν αποθνησκειν
33 Y esto decía dando á entender de qué muerte había de morir.
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
34 απεκριθη αυτω ο οχλοσ ημεισ ηκουσαμεν εκ του νομου οτι ο χριστοσ μενει εισ τον αιωνα και πωσ συ λεγεισ δει υψωθηναι τον υιον του ανθρωπου τισ εστιν ουτοσ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου
34 Respondióle la gente: Nosotros hemos oído de la ley, que el Cristo permanece para siempre: ¿cómo pues dices tú: Conviene que el Hijo del hombre sea levantado? ¿Quién es este Hijo del hombre?
34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 ειπεν ουν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ ετι μικρον χρονον το φωσ μεθ υμων εστιν περιπατειτε εωσ το φωσ εχετε ινα μη σκοτια υμασ καταλαβη και ο περιπατων εν τη σκοτια ουκ οιδεν που υπαγει
35 Entonces Jesús les dice: Aun por un poco estará la luz entre vosotros: andad entre tanto que tenéis luz, porque no os sorprendan las tinieblas; porque el que anda en tinieblas, no sabe dónde va.
35 Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
36 εωσ το φωσ εχετε πιστευετε εισ το φωσ ινα υιοι φωτοσ γενησθε ταυτα ελαλησεν ο ιησουσ και απελθων εκρυβη απ αυτων
36 Entre tanto que tenéis la luz, creed en la luz, para que seáis hijos de luz. Estas cosas habló Jesús, y fuése, y escondióse de ellos.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 τοσαυτα δε αυτου σημεια πεποιηκοτοσ εμπροσθεν αυτων ουκ επιστευον εισ αυτον
37 Empero habiendo hecho delante de ellos tantas señales, no creían en él.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
38 ινα ο λογοσ ησαιου του προφητου πληρωθη ον ειπεν κυριε τισ επιστευσεν τη ακοη ημων και ο βραχιων κυριου τινι απεκαλυφθη
38 Para que se cumpliese el dicho que dijo el profeta Isaías: ¿Señor, quién ha creído á nuestro dicho? ¿y el brazo del Señor, á quién es revelado?
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 δια τουτο ουκ ηδυναντο πιστευειν οτι παλιν ειπεν ησαιασ
39 Por esto no podían creer, porque otra vez dijo Isaías:
39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
40 τετυφλωκεν αυτων τουσ οφθαλμουσ και πεπωρωκεν αυτων την καρδιαν ινα μη ιδωσιν τοισ οφθαλμοισ και νοησωσιν τη καρδια και επιστραφωσιν και ιασωμαι αυτουσ
40 Cegó los ojos de ellos, y endureció su corazón; porque no vean con los ojos, y entiendan de corazón, y se conviertan, y yo los sane.
40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
41 ταυτα ειπεν ησαιασ οτε ειδεν την δοξαν αυτου και ελαλησεν περι αυτου
41 Estas cosas dijo Isaías cuando vió su gloria, y habló de él.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 ομωσ μεντοι και εκ των αρχοντων πολλοι επιστευσαν εισ αυτον αλλα δια τουσ φαρισαιουσ ουχ ωμολογουν ινα μη αποσυναγωγοι γενωνται
42 Con todo eso, aun de los príncipes, muchos creyeron en él; mas por causa de los Fariseos no [lo] confesaban, por no ser echados de la sinagoga.
42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
43 ηγαπησαν γαρ την δοξαν των ανθρωπων μαλλον ηπερ την δοξαν του θεου
43 Porque amaban más la gloria de los hombres que la gloria de Dios.
43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
44 ιησουσ δε εκραξεν και ειπεν ο πιστευων εισ εμε ου πιστευει εισ εμε αλλ εισ τον πεμψαντα με
44 Mas Jesús clamó y dijo: El que cree en mí, no cree en mí, sino en el que me envió;
44 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 και ο θεωρων εμε θεωρει τον πεμψαντα με
45 Y el que me ve, ve al que me envió.
45 He who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 εγω φωσ εισ τον κοσμον εληλυθα ινα πασ ο πιστευων εισ εμε εν τη σκοτια μη μεινη
46 Yo [la] luz he venido al mundo, para que todo aquel que cree en mí no permanezca en tinieblas.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 και εαν τισ μου ακουση των ρηματων και μη πιστευση εγω ου κρινω αυτον ου γαρ ηλθον ινα κρινω τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωσω τον κοσμον
47 Y el que oyere mis palabras, y no las creyere, yo no le juzgo; porque no he venido á juzgar al mundo, sino á salvar al mundo.
47 If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 ο αθετων εμε και μη λαμβανων τα ρηματα μου εχει τον κρινοντα αυτον ο λογοσ ον ελαλησα εκεινοσ κρινει αυτον εν τη εσχατη ημερα
48 El que me desecha, y no recibe mis palabras, tiene quien le juzgue: la palabra que he hablado, ella le juzgará en el día postrero.
48 He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
49 οτι εγω εξ εμαυτου ουκ ελαλησα αλλ ο πεμψασ με πατηρ αυτοσ μοι εντολην εδωκεν τι ειπω και τι λαλησω
49 Porque yo no he hablado de mí mismo: mas el Padre que me envió, él me dió mandamiento de lo que he de decir, y de lo que he de hablar.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
50 και οιδα οτι η εντολη αυτου ζωη αιωνιοσ εστιν α ουν λαλω εγω καθωσ ειρηκεν μοι ο πατηρ ουτωσ λαλω
50 Y sé que su mandamiento es vida eterna: así que, lo que yo hablo, como el Padre me lo ha dicho, así hablo.
50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
