¹² THE day after, a great gathering of those who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jeshu was coming to Urishlem,¹³ took branches of palms, and went forth to meet him. And they cried out, saying, Aushana ! Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.¹⁴ And Jeshu caused to be found an ass, and sat upon him; as it is written,¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Tseun: behold, thy King cometh to thee, and riding on a colt, the foal of an ass.¹⁶ But these the disciples knew not at that time; but when Jeshu was glorified, the disciples remembered that these were written concerning him, and (that) these (things) they had done unto him.¹⁷ But the assembly that was with him when he called Loozar from the sepulchre, and raised him from among the dead, bare witness.¹⁸ And on account of this, great multitudes went forth to receive him; for they had heard that this sign he had done.¹⁹ But the Pharishee said one to another, See you that you do not profit any thing ! For, behold, the whole world is gone after him.

²⁰ Now there were also from the Gentiles men who had ascended to worship at the feast.²¹ These came and drew near to Philipos, who was of Beth-tsaida of Galila; and they requested of him, and said to him, Mari, we desire to see Jeshu.²² And Philipos came and told Andreas, and Andreas and Philipos told Jeshu.²³ BUT Jeshu answered and said to them, The hour hath come that the Son of man may be glorified.²⁴ Amen, amen, I say to you, That a grain of wheat if it fall not and die in the earth remaineth alone; but if it die, it bringeth much fruits.²⁵ He who loveth his life shall lose it; and he who hateth his life in this world shall keep it to the life which is eternal.²⁶ If any man serve me, let him come after me; and where I am, there shall be also my servant: whoever serveth me, him will my Father honour.

²⁷ Now my soul, behold it is commoved; and what shall I say ? My Father, deliver me from this hour:²⁸ but on account of this have I come unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. And the voice was heard from heaven, I have glorified, and again I glorify. [fn] ²⁹ And the company who stood, heard, and they said there was thunder. But others said, An angel spake with him.³⁰ Jeshu answered and said to them, Not on my account was this voice, but on your account.³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now is the ruler of this world cast out.³² And I, when I have been lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.³³ But this he said to show by what death he should die.³⁴ The people said to him, We have heard from the law that the Meshicha for ever abideth: how sayest thou that the Son of man is to be lifted up ? Who is this Son of man ?³⁵ Jeshu saith to them, A little further time is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And whoever walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that the sons of light you may become. These spake Jeshu, and went (and) concealed himself from them.

³⁷ Yet though all these signs he had done before them, they believed not in him:³⁸ that the word of the prophet Eshaia might be fulfilled, who said, My Lord, who hath believed our report, [fn] And the arm of the Lord, to whom hath it been revealed ? ³⁹ Because of this they were not able to believe: Wherefore again Eshaia had said,⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, And darkened their heart, That they should not see with their eyes, And understand with their heart, And be turned, and I should heal them.⁴¹ These said Eshaia when he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.

⁴² Yet of the chiefs also many believed in him: but because of the Pharishee they did not confess, that they might not be put out of the synagogue:⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of Aloha.

⁴⁴ But Jeshu cried and said, He who believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him who sent me.⁴⁵ And he who seeth me seeth him who sent me.⁴⁶ I the light am come into the world, that every one who believeth in me might not abide in darkness.⁴⁷ And he who heareth my words, and doth not keep them, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.⁴⁸ He who rejecteth me, and receiveth not my word, hath that which judgeth him: the word which I speak, that judgeth him in the last day.⁴⁹ For I of myself have not spoken, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.⁵⁰ And I know that his commandments are life everlasting: these therefore which I speak, as said to me my Father, so I speak.
