149:1
JOAN. XII, 42-50. Verumtamen ex principibus multi crediderunt in eum; sed propter Pharisæos non confitebantur, ut de synagoga non ejicerentur. Dilexerunt enim gloriam hominum magia quam gloriam Dei. Jesus autem clamavit, et dixit: Qui credit in me, non credit in me, sed in eum qui misit me. Et qui videt me, videt eum qui misit mc. Ego iux in mundum veni, ut omnis qui credit in me in tenebris non mancat. Et si quis audierit verba mea, et non custodierit, ego non judico eum: non enim veni ut judicem mundum, sed ut salvificem mundum. Qui spernit me, et non accipit verba mea, habet qui judicct cum. Sermo quem locutus sum, ille judicabit eum in novissimo die:
JOHN XII, 42-50. Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they be put out of the synagogue. For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. But Jesus cried out and said: 'He who believes in me does not believe in me, but in him who sent me. And he who sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me may not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who despises me and does not receive my words has one who judges him; the word that I have spoken, that shall judge him at the last day:'
約翰福音第十二章四十二至五十節。雖然如此，官長中卻有好些信他的，只因法利賽人的緣故，就不承認，恐怕被趕出會堂。這是因他們愛人的榮耀過於愛神的榮耀。耶穌大聲說：「信我的，不是信我，乃是信那差我來的；人看見我，就是看見那差我來的。我到世上來，乃是光，叫凡信我的，不住在黑暗裡。若有人聽見我的話不遵守，我不審判他；因為我來本不是要審判世界，乃是要拯救世界。棄絕我、不領受我話的人，有審判他的；就是我所講的道，在末日要審判他。
149:2
quia ego ex me ipso non sum loculus, sed qui misit me Pater, ipse mihi mandotum dedit, quid dicam, * aut quid loquar. Et scio quia mandatum ejus vita aeterna est. Quae ergo ego loquor, sicut dixit mihi Pater, sic loquor. —JOAN. XII, 56-41. Hæc locutus est cis Jesus, et abiit, c1 abscondit se ab eis. Cum autem tanta signa fecisset coram eis, non credebant in eum, ut sermo Isaiæ prophetæ implerctur, quem dixit: Domine, quis credidit audilui nostro, et brachium Domini cui rcvelatum est (Isa. LIII, 1)? Hæc dixit Isaias, quando vidit gloriam ejus, et locutus est de eo.
'For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he himself gave me a commandment what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life eternal. The things therefore that I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.' — JOHN XII, 36-41. These things Jesus spoke to them, and he went away and hid himself from them. But although he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him, so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: 'Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed (Isa. 53:1)?' These things Isaiah said when he saw his glory, and he spoke of him.
「因為我沒有憑著自己講，惟有差我來的父已經給我命令，叫我說甚麼，講甚麼。我也知道他的命令就是永生。故此，我所講的話正是照著父對我所說的。」——約翰福音第十二章三十六至四十一節。耶穌說了這話，就離開他們隱藏了。他雖然在他們面前行了許多神蹟，他們還是不信他。這是要應驗先知以賽亞的話，說：「主啊，我們所傳的有誰信呢？主的膀臂向誰顯露呢（以賽亞書五十三章一節）？」以賽亞因為看見他的榮耀，就指著他說這話。
