1 Now a certain Lazarus, from Bethany of the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 And Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou love is sick.
4 But when Jesus heard, he said, This sickness is not about death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 When therefore he heard that he is sick, then he actually remained two days in that place he was.
7 Later after this he says to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again.
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
11 He spoke these things, and after this he says to them, Our friend Lazarus has become asleep, but I go that I may awake him.
12 His disciples therefore said, Lord, if he has become asleep, he will be healed.
13 But Jesus had spoken about his death, but those men thought that he was speaking about the restfulness of sleep.
14 Therefore Jesus then said to them plainly, Lazarus died.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.
16 Therefore Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 So when Jesus came, he found him already four days being kept in the sepucher.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs away from it,
19 and many of the Jews had come to the women, about Martha and Mary, so that they might console them about their brother.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.
22 But I know even now that as many things as thou may ask of God, God will give to thee.
23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother will rise.
24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he died, he will live.
26 And every man who lives and believes in me will, no, not die, into the age. Do thou believe this?
27 She says to him, Yes, Lord, I have believed that thou are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.
28 And when she said these things, she departed and called Mary her sister privately, saying, The teacher is here and calls thee.
29 When that woman heard, she rises quickly, and comes to him.
30 (Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.)
31 The Jews therefore being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying that she was going to the sepulcher that she may weep there.
32 Therefore when Mary came where Jesus was, after seeing him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who gathered with her, weeping, he groaned in the spirit, and was himself troubled.
34 And he said, Where have ye laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him.
37 But some of them said, This man who opened the eyes of the blind man, was he not also able to cause that this man also would not die?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the sepulcher. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus says, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of the man who came to end, says to him, Lord, he smells now, for is the fourth day.
40 Jesus says to her, Did I not to say thee, that if thou believed, thou will see the glory of God?
41 So they took away the stone where the man who died was laying. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heard me.
42 And I had known that thou always hear me, but because of the multitude that stands by I spoke, so that they may believe that thou sent me.
43 And having said these things, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out.
44 And the man who died came forth, wrapped hands and feet with grave-clothes, and his face had been wrapped around with a face cloth. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and allow him to go.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and who saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus did.
47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we doing? Because this man does many signs.
48 If we allow him this way, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and the nation.
49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all,
50 nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not the whole nation should perish.
51 Now he said this not from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation.
52 And not for the nation only, but also that he might gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 So from that day they consulted together so that they might kill him.
54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the region near the wilderness into a city called Ephraim, and he stayed there with his disciples.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the countryside before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves.
56 Therefore they sought Jesus, and spoke with each other as they stood in the temple, What does it seem to you? That he will, no, not come to the feast?
57 Now also the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that if any man knew where he is, he should disclose it, so that they might take him.
1 A certayne man was sicke named Lazarus of Bethania the toune of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 It was that Mary which annoynted Iesus with oyntment and wyped his fete with her heere whose brother Lazarus was sicke
3 and his sisters sent vnto him sayinge. Lorde behold he whom thou lovest is sicke.
4 When Iesus hearde yt he sayd: this infirmite is not vnto deth but for ye laude of God that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it.
5 Iesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 After he hearde that he was sicke then aboode he two dayes still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that sayd he to his disciples: let us goo into Iewry agayne.
8 His disciples sayde vnto him. Master the Iewes lately sought meanes to stone the and wilt thou goo thyther agayne?
9 Iesus answered: are ther not twelve houres in ye daye? Yf a man walke in ye daye he stombleth not because he seith the lyght of this worlde.
10 But yf a ma walke in ye nyght he stombleth because ther is no lyght in him.
11 This sayde he and after yt he sayde vnto the: oure frende Lazarus slepeth but I goo to wake him out of slepe.
12 Then sayde his disciples: Lorde yf he slepe he shall do well ynough.
13 How be it Iesus spake of his deeth: but they thought yt he had spoke of ye naturall slepe.
14 Then sayde Iesus vnto the playnly Lazarus is deed
15 and I am glad for youre sakes yt I was not there because ye maye beleve. Neverthelesse let vs go vnto him.
16 Then sayde Thomas which is called Dydimus vnto ye disciples: let vs also goo that we maye dye wt him
17 Then went Iesus and founde that he had lyne in his grave foure dayes already.
18 Bethanie was nye vnto Ierusalem aboute. xv. furlonges of
19 and many of the Iewes were come to Martha and Mary to comforte them over their brother.
20 Martha assone as she hearde yt Iesus was comynge went and met him: but Mary sate still in the housse.
21 Then sayde Martha vnto Iesus: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed:
22 but neverthelesse I knowe that whatsoever thou axest of God God will geve it the.
23 Iesus sayde vnto her: Thy brother shall ryse agayne.
24 Martha sayde vnto him: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurreccion at the last daye.
25 Iesus sayde vnto her: I am the resurreccion and the lyfe: He that beleveth on me ye though he were deed yet shall he lyve.
26 And whosoever lyveth and belevest on me shall never dye. Beleveth thou this?
27 She sayde vnto him: ye Lorde I beleve that thou arte Christ the sonne of god which shuld come into the worlde.
28 And assone as she had so sayde she went her waye and called Marie her sister secretly sayinge: The master is come and calleth for the
29 And she assone as she hearde that arose quickly and came vnto him.
30 Iesus was not yet come into the toune: but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 The Iewes then which were with her in the housse and comforted her when they sawe Mary that she rose vp hastely and went out folowed her saying: She goeth vnto the grave to wepe there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Iesus was and sawe him she fell doune at his fete sayinge vnto him: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed.
33 When Iesus sawe her wepe and ye Iewes also wepe which came wt her he groned in ye sprete and was troubled in him selfe
34 and sayde: Where have ye layed him? They sayde vnto him: Lorde come and se.
35 And Iesus wept.
36 Then sayde the Iewes: Beholde howe he loved him.
37 And some of the sayde: coulde not he which openned the eyes of the blynde have made also that this man shuld not have dyed?
38 Iesus agayne groned in him selfe and came to the grave. It was a caue and a stone layde on it.
39 And Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed sayd vnto him: Lorde by this tyme he stinketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes:
40 Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto the yt if thou didest beleve thou shuldest se ye glory of God.
41 Then they toke awaye ye stone from ye place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes and sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me.
42 I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it yt they maye beleve that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken he cryed wt a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe.
44 And he that was deed came forth bounde hand and fote with grave bondes and his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto the: loowse him and let him goo.
45 Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary and had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd beleved on him.
46 But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises and tolde them what Iesus had done.
47 Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This ma doeth many miracles.
48 Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and ye Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people.
49 And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest yt same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all
50 nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs that one man dye for the people and not that all the people perisshe.
51 This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people
52 and not for the people only but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode.
53 From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder for to put him to deeth.
54 Iesus therfore walked no more opely amoge the Iewes: but wet his waye thence vnto a coutre nye to a wildernes into a cite called Ephraim and there hauted with his disciples.
55 And the Iewes ester was nye at hand and many went out of the countre vp to Ierusalem before the ester to purify them selves.
56 Then sought they for Iesus and spake bitwene the selves as they stode in the teple: What thinke ye seynge he cometh not to the feast.
57 The hye prestes and Pharises had geven a comaundemet that yf eny man knew where he were he shuld shewe it that they myght take him.
