v1

Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.

v2

(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

v3

His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

v4

And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.

v5

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.

v6

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.

v7

Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.

v8

The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?

v9

Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:

v10

But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

v11

These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

v12

His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

v13

But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.

v14

Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.

v15

And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.

v16

Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.

v17

Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.

v18

(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)

v19

And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

v20

Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.

v21

Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

v22

But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

v23

Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.

v24

Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.

v25

Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:

v26

And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?

v27

She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

v28

And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.

v29

She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.

v30

For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.

v31

The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.

v32

When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

v33

Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,

v34

And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.

v35

And Jesus wept.

v36

The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.

v37

But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?

v38

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.

v39

Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.

v40

Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?

v41

They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.

v42

And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

v43

When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.

v44

And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.

v45

Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.

v46

But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.

v47

The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?

v48

If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.

v49

But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.

v50

Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

v51

And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.

v52

And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.

v53

From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.

v54

Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his disciples.

v55

And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to purify themselves.

v56

They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
