< John 11 >

1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Erat autem quidam languens Lazarus a Bethania, de castello Mariæ et Marthæ sororis ejus.
2 (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
(Maria autem erat quæ unxit Dominum unguento, et extersit pedes ejus capillis suis: cujus frater Lazarus infirmabatur.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Miserunt ergo sorores ejus ad eum dicentes: Domine, ecce quem amas infirmatur.
4 When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Audiens autem Jesus dixit eis: Infirmitas hæc non est ad mortem, sed pro gloria Dei, ut glorificetur Filius Dei per eam.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Diligebat autem Jesus Martham, et sororem ejus Mariam, et Lazarum.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Ut ergo audivit quia infirmabatur, tunc quidem mansit in eodem loco duobus diebus;
7 Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
deinde post hæc dixit discipulis suis: Eamus in Judæam iterum.
8 [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Dicunt ei discipuli: Rabbi, nunc quærebant te Judæi lapidare, et iterum vadis illuc?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Respondit Jesus: Nonne duodecim sunt horæ diei? Si quis ambulaverit in die, non offendit, quia lucem hujus mundi videt:
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
si autem ambulaverit in nocte, offendit, quia lux non est in eo.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Hæc ait, et post hæc dixit eis: Lazarus amicus noster dormit: sed vado ut a somno excitem eum.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Dixerunt ergo discipuli ejus: Domine, si dormit, salvus erit.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Dixerat autem Jesus de morte ejus: illi autem putaverunt quia de dormitione somni diceret.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Tunc ergo Jesus dixit eis manifeste: Lazarus mortuus est:
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
et gaudeo propter vos, ut credatis, quoniam non eram ibi, sed eamus ad eum.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Dixit ergo Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, ad condiscipulos: Eamus et nos, ut moriamur cum eo.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the grave four days already.
Venit itaque Jesus: et invenit eum quatuor dies jam in monumento habentem.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
(Erat autem Bethania juxta Jerosolymam quasi stadiis quindecim.)
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Multi autem ex Judæis venerant ad Martham et Mariam, ut consolarentur eas de fratre suo.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.
Martha ergo ut audivit quia Jesus venit, occurrit illi: Maria autem domi sedebat.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Dixit ergo Martha ad Jesum: Domine, si fuisses hic, frater meus non fuisset mortuus:
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
sed et nunc scio quia quæcumque poposceris a Deo, dabit tibi Deus.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Dicit illi Jesus: Resurget frater tuus.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Dicit ei Martha: Scio quia resurget in resurrectione in novissimo die.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Dixit ei Jesus: Ego sum resurrectio et vita: qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
et omnis qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in æternum. Credis hoc? (aiōn g165)
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Ait illi: Utique Domine, ego credidi quia tu es Christus, Filius Dei vivi, qui in hunc mundum venisti.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Et cum hæc dixisset, abiit, et vocavit Mariam sororem suam silentio, dicens: Magister adest, et vocat te.
29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Illa ut audivit, surgit cito, et venit ad eum;
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
nondum enim venerat Jesus in castellum: sed erat adhuc in illo loco, ubi occurrerat ei Martha.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
Judæi ergo, qui erant cum ea in domo, et consolabantur eam, cum vidissent Mariam quia cito surrexit, et exiit, secuti sunt eam dicentes: Quia vadit ad monumentum, ut ploret ibi.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Maria ergo, cum venisset ubi erat Jesus, videns eum, cecidit ad pedes ejus, et dicit ei: Domine, si fuisses hic, non esset mortuus frater meus.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Jesus ergo, ut vidit eam plorantem, et Judæos, qui venerant cum ea, plorantes, infremuit spiritu, et turbavit seipsum,
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
et dixit: Ubi posuistis eum? Dicunt ei: Domine, veni, et vide.
35 Jesus wept.
Et lacrimatus est Jesus.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Dixerunt ergo Judæi: Ecce quomodo amabat eum.
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Quidam autem ex ipsis dixerunt: Non poterat hic, qui aperuit oculos cæci nati, facere ut hic non moreretur?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Jesus ergo rursum fremens in semetipso, venit ad monumentum. Erat autem spelunca, et lapis superpositus erat ei.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.
Ait Jesus: Tollite lapidem. Dicit ei Martha, soror ejus qui mortuus fuerat: Domine, jam fœtet, quatriduanus est enim.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Dicit ei Jesus: Nonne dixi tibi quoniam si credideris, videbis gloriam Dei?
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.
Tulerunt ergo lapidem: Jesus autem, elevatis sursum oculis, dixit: Pater, gratias ago tibi quoniam audisti me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Ego autem sciebam quia semper me audis, sed propter populum qui circumstat, dixi: ut credant quia tu me misisti.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Hæc cum dixisset, voce magna clamavit: Lazare, veni foras.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Et statim prodiit qui fuerat mortuus, ligatus pedes, et manus institis, et facies illius sudario erat ligata. Dixit eis Jesus: Solvite eum et sinite abire.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Multi ergo ex Judæis, qui venerant ad Mariam, et Martham, et viderant quæ fecit Jesus, crediderunt in eum.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
Quidam autem ex ipsis abierunt ad pharisæos, et dixerunt eis quæ fecit Jesus.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
Collegerunt ergo pontifices et pharisæi concilium, et dicebant: Quid faciamus, quia hic homo multa signa facit?
48 If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
Si dimittimus eum sic, omnes credent in eum, et venient Romani, et tollent nostrum locum, et gentem.
49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Unus autem ex ipsis, Caiphas nomine, cum esset pontifex anni illius, dixit eis: Vos nescitis quidquam,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
nec cogitatis quia expedit vobis ut unus moriatur homo pro populo, et non tota gens pereat.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Hoc autem a semetipso non dixit: sed cum esset pontifex anni illius, prophetavit, quod Jesus moriturus erat pro gente,
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
et non tantum pro gente, sed ut filios Dei, qui erant dispersi, congregaret in unum.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
Ab illo ergo die cogitaverunt ut interficerent eum.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
Jesus ergo jam non in palam ambulabat apud Judæos, sed abiit in regionem juxta desertum, in civitatem quæ dicitur Ephrem, et ibi morabatur cum discipulis suis.
55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Proximum autem erat Pascha Judæorum, et ascenderunt multi Jerosolymam de regione ante Pascha, ut sanctificarent seipsos.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
Quærebant ergo Jesum, et colloquebantur ad invicem, in templo stantes: Quid putatis, quia non venit ad diem festum?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew [it], that they might take him.
Dederant autem pontifices et pharisæi mandatum ut si quis cognoverit ubi sit, indicet, ut apprehendant eum.
