50 verses

King James Version

1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 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 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 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 Then said Jesus,
8 Car vous aurez toujours des pauvres avec vous; mais vous ne m'aurez pas toujours.
9 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 ¶ But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 ¶ On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 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 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 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 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 ¶ And Jesus answered them, saying,
24 En vérité, en vérité je vous le dis: Si le grain de froment ne meurt après qu'on l'a jeté dans la terre, il demeure seul; mais s'il meurt, il porte beaucoup de fruit.
25 Celui qui aime sa vie la perdra; et celui qui hait sa vie en ce monde la conservera pour la vie éternelle.
26 Si quelqu'un me sert, qu'il me suive; et où je serai, là sera aussi mon serviteur; et si quelqu'un me sert, le Père l'honorera.
27 Maintenant mon âme est troublée; et que dirai-je? Père, délivre-moi de cette heure! mais c'est pour cela que je suis venu à cette heure.
28 Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said,
31 Maintenant se fait le jugement de ce monde; maintenant le prince de ce monde sera jeté dehors.
32 Et moi, quand j'aurai été élevé de la terre, j'attirerai tous les hommes à moi.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 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 Then Jesus said unto them,
36 These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 ¶ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 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 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 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 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 ¶ 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 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 ¶ Jesus cried and said,
45 Et celui qui me voit, voit celui qui m'a envoyé.
46 Je suis venu dans le monde, moi qui suis la lumière, afin que quiconque croit en moi ne demeure point dans les ténèbres.
47 Et si quelqu'un entend mes paroles et ne croit pas, je ne le juge point, car je ne suis pas venu pour juger le monde, mais pour sauver le monde.
48 Celui qui me rejette et ne reçoit point mes paroles, a son juge; la parole que j'ai annoncée, c'est elle qui le jugera au dernier jour.
49 Car je n'ai point parlé par moi-même, mais le Père, qui m'a envoyé, m'a prescrit ce que je devais dire et annoncer. Et je sais que son commandement est la vie éternelle.
50 Les choses donc que je dis, je les dis comme mon Père me les a dites.
