Death of Lazarus

1 AND there was a certain sick man, Lazarus of Bethania, of the town of Mary & Martha her sister.📜💬📚

2 (And Mary was she that anointed our Lord with ointment, & wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)📜💬📚

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

4 And JESUS hearing, said to them: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.📜💬📚

5 And JESUS loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.📜💬📚

6 As he heard therefore that he was sick, then he tarried in the same place two days:📜💬📚

7 then after this he saith to his Disciples: Let us go into Jewry again.📜💬📚

8 The Disciples say to him: Rabbi, now the Jews sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?📜💬📚

9 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:📜💬📚

10 but if he 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 sleepeth; but I go that I may raise him from sleep.📜💬📚

12 His Disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall be safe.📜💬📚

13 But JESUS spake of his death; & they thought that he spake of the sleeping of sleep.📜💬📚

14 Then therefore JESUS said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead;📜💬📚

15 and I am glad for your sake, that you may believe, because I was not there: but let us go to him.📜💬📚

16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his condisciples: Let us also go, to die with him.📜💬📚

Jesus Comforts Martha and Mary

17 JESUS therefore came, and found him now having been four days in the grave.📜💬📚

18 (And Bethania was nigh to Jerusalem about fifteen furlongs.)📜💬📚

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

20 Martha therefore when she heard that JESUS was come, went to meet him; but Mary sat at home.📜💬📚

21 Martha therefore said to JESUS: Lord if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.📜💬📚

22 But now also I know that what things soever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.📜💬📚

23 JESUS saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.📜💬📚

24 Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection, in the last day.📜💬📚

25 JESUS saith to her: I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live.📜💬📚

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

27 She saith to him: Yea Lord, I have believed that thou art CHRIST the Son of God that art come into this world.📜💬📚

28 And when she had said these things, she went, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying: The Master is come, & calleth thee.📜💬📚

29 She, when she heard, riseth quickly & cometh to him.📜💬📚

30 For JESUS was not yet come into the town: but he was yet in that place where Martha had met him.📜💬📚

31 The Jews therefore that were with her in the house and did comfort her, when they saw Mary that she rose quickly and went forth, followed her, saying: That she goeth to the grave, to weep there.📜💬📚

32 Mary therefore when she was come where JESUS was, seeing him, fell at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.📜💬📚

33 JESUS therefore when he saw her, weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, he groaned in spirit, and troubled himself,📜💬📚

34 and said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.📜💬📚

35 And JESUS wept.📜💬📚

36 The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.📜💬📚

37 But certain of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the blind man, make that this man should not die?📜💬📚

Jesus Raises Lazarus

38 JESUS therefore again groaning in him self, cometh to the grave: and it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.📜💬📚

39 JESUS saith: Take away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said to him: Lord, now he stinketh, for he is now of four days.📜💬📚

40 JESUS saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?📜💬📚

41 They took therefore the stone away. And JESUS lifting his eyes upward, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.📜💬📚

42 And I did know that thou doest always hear me, but for the people that standeth about, have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.📜💬📚

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

44 And forthwith he came forth that had been dead, bound feet and hands with winding bands, and his face was tied with a napkin. JESUS said to them: Loose him, and let him go.📜💬📚

Plot to Kill Jesus

45 Many therefore of the Jews that were come to Mary & Martha, & had seen the things that JESUS did, believed in him.📜💬📚

46 And certain of them went to the Pharisees, & told them the things that JESUS did.📜💬📚

47 The chief Priests therefore & the Pharisees gathered a Council, & said: What do we, for this man doeth many signs.📜💬📚

48 If we let him alone so, all will believe in him: & the Romans will come, & take away our place & nation.📜💬📚

49 But one of them named Caiphas, being the high Priest of that year, said to them: You know nothing,📜💬📚

50 neither do you consider: that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, & the whole nation perish not.📜💬📚

51 And this he said not of himself: but being the high Priest of that year, he prophesied that JESUS should die for the nation.📜💬📚

52 And not only for the nation, but to gather into one the children of God that were dispersed.📜💬📚

53 From that day therefore they devised to kill him.📜💬📚

54 JESUS therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but he went into the country beside the desert unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his Disciples.📜💬📚

55 And the Pasche of the Jews was at hand: & many of the country went up to Jerusalem before the Pasche to sanctify themselves.📜💬📚
