The Voice from Heaven

Saint John - Chapter 12


A voice therefore came from heaven. J-J Tissot
[27] Nunc anima mea turbata est. Et quid dicam? Pater, salvifica me ex hac hora. Sed propterea veni in horam hanc :
Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.

[28] Pater, clarifica nomen tuum. Venit ergo vox de caelo : Et clarificavi, et iterum clarificabo.
Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

[29] Turba ergo, quae stabat, et audierat, dicebat tonitruum esse factum. Alii dicebant : Angelus ei locutus est.
The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.

[30] Respondit Jesus, et dixit : Non propter me haec vox venit, sed propter vos.
Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

[31] Nunc judicium est mundi : nunc princeps hujus mundi ejicietur foras.
Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

[32] Et ego, si exaltatus fuero a terra, omnia traham ad meipsum.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.

[33] ( Hoc autem dicebat, significans qua morte esset moriturus.)
(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)

[34] Respondit ei turba : Nos audivimus ex lege, quia Christus manet in aeternum : et quomodo tu dicis : Oportet exaltari Filium hominis? quis est iste Filius hominis?
The multitude 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] Dixit ergo eis Jesus : Adhuc modicum, lumen in vobis est. Ambulate dum lucem habetis, ut non vos tenebrae comprehendant; et qui ambulant in tenebris, nescit quo vadat.
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.

[36] Dum lucem habetis, credite in lucem, ut filii lucis sitis. Haec locutus est Jesus, et abiit et abscondit se ab eis.
Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid himself from them.

[37] Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum;
And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:

[38] ut sermo Isaiae prophetae impleretur, quem dixit : Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

[39] Propterea non poterant credere, quia iterum dixit Isaias :
Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again:

[40] Excaecavit oculos eorum, et induravit cor eorum ut non videant oculis, et non intelligant corde, et convertantur, et sanem eos.
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] Haec dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam ejus, et locutus est de eo.
These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

[42] Verumtamen et ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum : sed propter pharisaeos non confitebantur, ut e synagoga non ejicerentur.
However, many of the chief men also believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue.

[43] Dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magis quam gloriam Dei.
For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

[44] Jesus autem clamavit, et dixit : Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum qui misit me.
But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.

Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
