John 12:20First Nations VersionThere were people from these nations who came to celebrate the festival from Land of Wisdom Seekers (Greece). These were people who often prided themselves in their study of wisdom and knowledge. See the chapter |
So Lover of Horses (Philip)followed the guidance of the spirit-messenger. He got up and began to go toward the south. While on the road, he came across a man from Eyes of Fire (Ethiopia). He had great authority because he was a trusted official of the female chief of Eyes of Fire (Ethiopia) and managed all her wealth and possessions. This man had traveled to Village of Peace (Jerusalem) to participate in the lodge ceremonies and was returning home. As this man was traveling, he was sitting in a fancy horse-drawn covered wagon and reading from the Sacred Teachings of the prophet Creator Will Help Us (Isaiah).
The Separated Ones (Pharisees) huddled together near the crowd. “Nothing we have done to stop him has worked,” they complained. “Look! The whole world is now following him.” Along with the Tribal Members of Wrestles with Creator (Israel) who came to participate in the Passover festival, there were also many outsiders from other nations who would come.
