- 1
- And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --
- 2
- and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --
- 3
- therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
- 4
- and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
- 5
- And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
- 6
- when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
- 7
- then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'
- 8
- the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
- 9
- Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
- 10
- and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
- 11
- These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
- 12
- therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
- 13
- but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
- 14
- Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;
- 15
- and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
- 16
- therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'
- 17
- Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
- 18
- And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
- 19
- and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
- 20
- Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
- 21
- Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
- 22
- but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
- 23
- Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.'
- 24
- Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
- 25
- Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;
- 26
- and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;
- 27
- believest thou this?' she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
- 28
- And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
- 29
- she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
- 30
- and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
- 31
- the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'
- 32
- Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
- 33
- Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,
- 34
- `Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, `Sir, come and see;'
- 35
- Jesus wept.
- 36
- The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!'
- 37
- and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'
- 38
- Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
- 39
- Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'
- 40
- Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'
- 41
- They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;
- 42
- and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said `it', that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'
- 43
- And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;'
- 44
- and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.'
- 45
- Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
- 46
- but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
- 47
- the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
- 48
- if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'
- 49
- and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,
- 50
- nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
- 51
- And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
- 52
- and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.
- 53
- From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
- 54
- Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
- 55
- And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;
- 56
- they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'
- 57
- and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew `it', so that they may seize him.
