1
And◦ a certain one was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
2
And◦ it was Mary, who anointed◦ the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3
Then◦ the sisters sent◦ to Him saying, Lord, see◦, he whom Thou lovest◦ is··sick.
4
But◦ when Jesus heard, He said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified by it.
5
And◦ Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6
When◦ therefore He heard that he was··sick, then He indeed remained two days in the place that He was.
7
Then after that He says to the disciples, Let us go◦ into Judea again.
8
The disciples say to Him, Rabbi, the Jews just now sought to stone Thee, and goest◦ Thou thither again?
9
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day? If anyone walk in the day, he does not stumble◦, because he sees▫ the light of this world.
10
But◦ if anyone walk in the night, he stumbles◦, because the light is not in him.
11
These··things He said◦; and after this He says to them, Lazarus, our friend, slumbers; but I go, that◦ I may awake· him ·out··of··sleep.
12
Then His disciples said, Lord, if he repose, he will be saved.
13
But◦ Jesus had told◦ about his death, but◦ they thought, He is saying something about the repose of sleep◦.
14
Therefore Jesus then said◦ to them openly, Lazarus is··dead.
15
And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go◦ to him.
16
Then◦ said◦ Thomas, who is called▵ Didymus1, to his fellow··disciples, Let us go◦, we also, that◦ we may die with Him.
17
Then◦ Jesus, coming, found him having been already four days in the sepulcher.
18
And◦ Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about▵ fifteen stadia2 away◦.
19
And many of the Jews had come to the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort◦ them concerning their brother.
20
Then◦ Martha, when◦ she heard that Jesus was coming, went··to··meet◦ Him; but◦ Mary was sitting in the house.
21
Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not be··dead.
22
But even now I know◦ that whatever Thou shalt ask of God, God will give to Thee.
23
Jesus said to her, Thy brother shall rise··again◦.
24
Martha says to Him, I know◦ that he shall rise··again◦ in the resurrection in the last day.
25
Jesus said◦ to her, I◦ am the Resurrection and the Life; he who believes in◦ Me, even··if he die, yet shall he live.
26
And everyone who lives and believes in◦ Me shall not die to eternity. Believest thou this?
27
She says to Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.
28
And when she had said◦ these··things she went··away◦, and called◦ Mary her sister privately, saying◦, The Teacher is··here, and calls◦ thee.
29
As she▵ hears, she arises quickly and comes to Him.
30
And◦ Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him.
31
The Jews, then◦, who were with her in the house, and who comforted◦ her, seeing◦ that Mary stood··up quickly and went··out▵, followed her, saying, She goes◦ to◦ the sepulcher to▵ weep there.
32
Then◦ when◦ Mary came where Jesus was, seeing◦ Him, she fell at His feet, saying to Him, Lord, if Thou hadst··been here, my brother would not have died.
33
Jesus then◦, when◦ He saw◦ her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came··with her, groaned in the spirit and was Himself disturbed,
34
and said◦, Where have you laid him? They say to Him, Lord, come and see◦.
35
Jesus wept3.
36
Then◦ the Jews said, See◦ how He loved◦ him.
37
And◦ some of them said, Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38
Jesus then◦, again groaning in Himself, comes to◦ the sepulcher; and◦ it was a cave, and a stone lay on it.
39
Jesus says, Take· ye ·away◦ the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was··dead, says to Him, Lord, already he stinks, for◦ it is the fourth◦ day.
40
Jesus says to her, Said◦ I not to··thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou wilt see the glory of God?
41
Then◦ they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And◦ Jesus lifted up His eyes and said◦, Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me.
42
And◦ I◦ knew◦ that Thou hearest Me always; but on··account··of the crowd standing··around I said◦ it, that◦ they may believe that Thou hast sent◦ Me.
43
And having said◦ these··things, He cried··out▵ with a great voice, Lazarus, come▵ out◦!
44
And he who was··dead came forth, bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his face◦ was bound around with a kerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him go◦.
45
Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and observed the things which Jesus did, believed in Him.
46
But◦ some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47
Then◦ the chief··priests and Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What◦ do we do? For this man does many signs.
48
If we leave Him thus, all will believe in◦ Him, and the Romans will come, and take··away◦ both our place and nation.
49
And◦ a certain one of◦ them, Caiaphas, being chief··priest that▵ year, said◦ to them, You know◦ not anything◦,
50
neither do you reason that it··is··expedient for▫ us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51
But◦ this he said not of himself; but being chief··priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
52
and not for the nation only, but that He should also gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
53
Then from that day they consulted together, that they might kill Him.
54
Jesus therefore walked no··more openly among the Jews, but came··away from··there into the country near the wilderness, into a city called▵ Ephraim, and··there tarried with His disciples.
55
And◦ the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went··up to◦ Jerusalem out··of the country before the Passover, that◦ they might purify themselves.
56
Then◦ they sought Jesus, and said to one··another as they stood in the temple, What◦ think you, that He will not▵ come to◦ the festival?
57
And◦ both the chief··priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that◦ if anyone knew where He were, he should show◦ it, so··that they might lay··hold of Him.
