“Aweereddwa omukisa ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.”
“Ye Kabaka wa Isirayiri.”
14 Awo Yesu bwe yalaba endogoyi ento n’agyebagala. Ekyawandiikibwa ne kiryoka kituukirira ekigamba nti,
15 (K)“Ggwe muwala wa Sayuuni totya;
laba Kabaka wo ajja,

16 (L)Ebyo abayigirizwa tebaabitegeererawo, naye Yesu bwe yamala okugulumizibwa, ne balyoka bajjukira ebintu ebyo ebyali bimuwandiikiddwako, ne bye baamukola.
17 (M)Abo abaali mu kibiina, abaalaba Yesu ng’azuukiza Laazaalo ne baategeeza ebyaliwo ne bwe yazuukiza Laazaalo. 18 (N)Abantu abangi bwe batyo kyebaava bagenda okusisinkana Yesu, kubanga baali bawulidde ekyamagero ekyo kye yakola. 19 (O)Awo Abafalisaayo ne bagambagana nti: “Mulabye bwe tutalina kye tufunyeemu! Laba ensi yonna emugoberedde.”

23 (R)Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekiseera kituuse Omwana w’Omuntu agulumizibwe. 24 (S)Ddala ddala mbagamba nti empeke y’eŋŋaano bw’egwa mu ttaka efa, bwe tefa ebeera yokka, naye bw’efa ebala ebibala bingi. 25 (T)Buli eyeemalira ku bulamu bwe alibufiirwa, naye oyo akyawa obulamu bwe mu nsi eno, alibusigaza mu bulamu obutaggwaawo. 26 (U)Oyo ampeereza, angoberere. Nze w’endi n’omuweereza wange w’anaabeeranga era Kitange alimuwa ekitiibwa oyo ampeereza.”

27 (V)“Kaakano omutima gwange gweraliikiridde. Kale ŋŋambe ntya? Nsabe nti Kitange mponya ekiseera kino? Naye ate ekyandeeta kwe kuyita mu kiseera kino. 28 (W)Kitange gulumiza erinnya lyo.”
Awo eddoboozi ne liva mu ggulu ne ligamba nti, “Ndigulumizizza era ndyongera okuligulumiza.” 29 Ekibiina ky’abantu abaali bayimiridde awo bwe baawulira ne bagamba nti, “Laddu y’ebwatuse!” Abalala ne bagamba nti, “Malayika y’ayogedde naye.” 30 (X)Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Eddoboozi lino lizze ku lwammwe, so si ku lwange. 31 (Y)Ekiseera ky’ensi okusalirwa omusango kituuse, era omufuzi w’ensi eno anaagoberwa ebweru. 32 (Z)Bwe ndiwanikibwa okuva mu nsi, ndiwalulira bonna gye ndi.” 33 (AA)Ekyo yakyogera ng’ategeeza enfa gye yali anaatera okufaamu.
34 (AB)Awo abantu mu kibiina ekyo ne bamugamba nti, “Ffe tumanyi okuva mu mateeka nti Kristo aba mulamu emirembe gyonna. Naye ggwe lwaki ogamba nti Omwana w’Omuntu kimugwanira okufa? Mwana wa Muntu ki oyo gw’oyogerako?” 35 (AC)Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Omusana gujja kwongera okubaakira okumala akaseera. Kale mugutambuliremu mugende gye mwagala ng’ekizikiza tekinnatuuka. Atambulira mu kizikiza tamanya gy’alaga. 36 (AD)Kale Omusana nga bwe gukyayaka mugutambuliremu mulyoke mufuuke abaana b’omusana.” Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebyo n’agenda n’abeekweka.
37 (AE)Kyokka newaakubadde Yesu yakola ebyamagero bingi, tebaamukkiriza. 38 (AF)Ekigambo kya nnabbi Isaaya kituukirire ekigamba nti,
“Mukama ani akkiriza bye tugamba?
Ani abikkuliddwa omukono gwa Mukama?”
39 Kyebaava batakkiriza kubanga nnabbi Isaaya yayongera n’agamba nti,
40 (AG)“Katonda yabaziba amaaso,
era n’abakakanyaza emitima,
amaaso gaabwe galeme okulaba,
era n’emitima gyabwe gireme okutegeera,
era gireme okukyuka, mbawonye.”
41 (AH)Ebyo nnabbi Isaaya yabyogera kubanga yalaba ekitiibwa kye, era n’amwogerako.
42 (AI)Era waaliwo bangi ne mu bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya abaamukkiriza. Naye olw’okutya Abafalisaayo, tebaamwatula, baleme kugobebwa mu kkuŋŋaaniro. 43 (AJ)Kubanga baayagala ekitiibwa ekibaweebwa abantu okusinga ekitiibwa kya Katonda.
44 (AK)Awo Yesu n’asitula ku ddoboozi n’agamba nti, “Buli anzikiriza aba takkiriza Nze nzekka, wabula aba akkirizza n’oyo eyantuma. 45 (AL)N’oyo alaba Nze aba alabye oli eyantuma. 46 (AM)Nze omusana nzize mu nsi buli anzikiriza aleme okusigala mu kizikiza.
47 (AN)“Awulira ebigambo byange n’atabifaako, Nze simusalira musango, kubanga Nze najja kulokola nsi so si kugisalira musango. 48 (AO)Kyokka buli agaana Nze era n’agaana n’ebigambo byange, alina amusalira omusango. Alisalirwa omusango ku lunaku olw’enkomerero okusinziira ku bigambo bye namutegeeza. 49 (AP)Kubanga Nze bye njogera si byange, ku bwange, naye mbategeezezza ebya Kitange bye yandagira okubategeeza. 50 Era mmanyi nti by’alagira bwe bulamu obutaggwaawo. Noolwekyo ky’aŋŋamba kye mbategeeza.”

Jesus Anointed at Bethany(A)
12 Six days before the Passover,(B) Jesus came to Bethany,(C) where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served,(D) while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint[a] of pure nard, an expensive perfume;(E) she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair.(F) And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him,(G) objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.[b]” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag,(H) he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.(I) 8 You will always have the poor among you,[c](J) but you will not always have me.”
9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.(K) 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him(L) many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.(M)
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(N)
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches(O) and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna![d]”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”(Q)
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
16 At first his disciples did not understand all this.(S) Only after Jesus was glorified(T) did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.
17 Now the crowd that was with him(U) when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign,(V) went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”(W)
Jesus Predicts His Death
20 Now there were some Greeks(X) among those who went up to worship at the festival. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida(Y) in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
23 Jesus replied, “The hour(Z) has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.(AA) 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies,(AB) it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it(AC) for eternal life.(AD) 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.(AE) My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27 “Now my soul is troubled,(AF) and what shall I say? ‘Father,(AG) save me from this hour’?(AH) No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”
Then a voice came from heaven,(AI) “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit,(AJ) not mine. 31 Now is the time for judgment on this world;(AK) now the prince of this world(AL) will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up[g] from the earth,(AM) will draw all people to myself.”(AN) 33 He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.(AO)
34 The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law(AP) that the Messiah will remain forever,(AQ) so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man(AR) must be lifted up’?(AS) Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”
35 Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light(AT) just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light,(AU) before darkness overtakes you.(AV) Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. 36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.”(AW) When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.(AX)
Belief and Unbelief Among the Jews
37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs(AY) in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38 This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
39 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere:
40 “He has blinded their eyes
and hardened their hearts,
so they can neither see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts,
nor turn—and I would heal them.”[i](BA)
41 Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory(BB) and spoke about him.(BC)
42 Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him.(BD) But because of the Pharisees(BE) they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;(BF) 43 for they loved human praise(BG) more than praise from God.(BH)
44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.(BI) 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.(BJ) 46 I have come into the world as a light,(BK) so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.(BL) 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them(BM) at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me(BN) to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life.(BO) So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”(BP)
