John 11:1-16:33 And a certain man was sick, Lazarus of the town of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And a certain man was sick, Lazarus of the town of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha. ² It was that Mary who anointed the feet of Jesus with perfume, and wiped them with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ And his two sisters sent to Jesus, and said: Our Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ And Jesus said: This sickness is not that of death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and Mary, and Lazarus. ⁶ And when he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days. ⁷ And afterwards he said to his disciples: Come, let us go again into Judaea. ⁸ His disciples say to him: Our Rabbi, the Jews have just sought to stone thee; and goest thou again thither. ⁹ Jesus said to them: Are there not twelve hours in the day? And if a man walk in the daytime, he stumbleth not; because he seeth the light of the world. ¹⁰ But if one walk in the night, he stumbleth; because there is no light in him. ¹¹ These things said Jesus, and afterwards he said to them: Lazarus our friend reposeth. But I go to awake him. ¹² His disciples say to him: Our Lord, if he sleepeth, he is recovering. ¹³ But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought, he spoke of the sleep of repose. ¹⁴ Then Jesus said to them explicitly; Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I rejoice, for your sakes, that I was not there; that ye may believe. But let us go there. ¹⁶ Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples: Let us also go and die with him. ¹⁷ And Jesus came to Bethany, and found that he had been in the grave four days. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, distant from it about fifteen furlongs. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ And Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary was sitting in the house. ²¹ And Martha said to Jesus: My Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ²² But even now, I know, that whatever thou wilt ask of God, he will give it thee. ²³ Jesus said to her: Thy brother will rise. ²⁴ Martha said to him: I know, that he will rise in the consolation, at the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said to her: I am the consolation, and life. And he that believeth in me, though he should die, will live. ²⁶ And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, will not die for ever. Believest thou this? ²⁷ She said to him: Yes, my Lord; I believe, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, that cometh into the world. ²⁸ And when she had thus said, she went and called her sister Mary, secretly, and said to her: Our Rabbi hath come, and calleth for thee. ²⁹ And Mary, when she heard it, rose up quickly, and went to meet him. ³⁰ And Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met him. ³¹ Those Jews also, who were with her in the house and consoled her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed after her; for they supposed, she was going to the grave to weep. ³² And Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, and said to him: If thou hadst been here, my Lord, my brother had not died. ³³ And when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was moved in spirit, and was agitated. ³⁴ And he said: Where have ye laid him? They say to him: Our Lord, come, and see. ³⁵ And the tears of Jesus came. ³⁶ And the Jews said: See, how much he loved him. ³⁷ And some of them said: Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man, have caused that this also should not have died? ³⁸ And Jesus, still agitated within, came to the grave. Now the grave was a cave, and a stone was laid upon its entrance. ³⁹ And Jesus said: Take away this stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: My Lord, by this time he is putrid; for four days have elapsed. ⁴⁰ Jesus said to her: Did I not tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? ⁴¹ And they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes on high, and said: Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. ⁴² And I know that thou hearest me always; but on account of this multitude that standeth here, I say these things; that they may believe, that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, he called with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth! ⁴⁴ And the dead man came forth, with his hands and his feet swathed with bandages, and his face with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go. ⁴⁵ And many of the Jews who had come to Mary, when they saw what Jesus did, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them all that Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ And the chief priests and Pharisees assembled together, and said: What shall we do? For this man worketh many signs. ⁴⁸ And if we thus let him alone, all the people will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away our place and our nation. ⁴⁹ But, one of them, named Caiaphas, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them: Ye know not any thing. ⁵⁰ Neither do ye consider, that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and not that this whole people perish. ⁵¹ This he said, however, not from the promptings of his own mind; but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the people: ⁵² and not only for the people, but also that he might collect together the sons of God that were dispersed. ⁵³ And from that day, they plotted to kill him. ⁵⁴ And Jesus did not walk openly among the Jews; but retired from them to a place near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and there he abode with his disciples. ⁵⁵ And the passover of the Jews drew near: and many went up from the villages to Jerusalem, before the feast, that they might purify themselves. ⁵⁶ And they sought for Jesus; and they said one to another, in the temple: What think ye? that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ And the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known to them, that they might take him. ¹² ¹ And six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where was that Lazarus whom Jesus raised from the dead. ² And they made a supper for him there: and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of the guests with him. ³ And Mary took an alabaster box of perfume of choice spikenard, of great price; and anointed the feet of Jesus; and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the perfume. ⁴ Then said Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, he that was about to betray him: ⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? ⁶ And this he said, not be cause he cared for the poor, but because he was thief, and held the purse, and carried what was put in it. ⁷ But Jesus said: Let her alone; she hath kept it for the day of my burial. ⁸ For the poor are always with you, but I am not with you always. ⁹ And great multitudes of the Jews heard that he was there: and they came, not only on account of Jesus, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead. ¹⁰ And the chief priests deliberated about killing even Lazarus: ¹¹ because many of the Jews, on his account, went and believed in Jesus. ¹² And the next day, a great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ took boughs of palm-trees, and went out to meet him. And they cried, and said: Hosanna, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel! ¹⁴ And Jesus found an ass, and sat upon it; as it is written ¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Sion. Behold, thy king cometh to thee; and he rideth upon a colt, the foal of an ass. ¹⁶ These things understood not his disciples, at that time; but when Jesus was glorified, then his disciples remembered that these things were written of him, and that they did them to him. ¹⁷ And the multitude that had been with him, testified that he had called Lazarus from the grave, and raised him from the dead. ¹⁸ And for this reason, great multitudes went out to meet him, as they had heard that he wrought this sign. ¹⁹ But the Pharisees said, one to another: Do ye see, that ye are gaining nothing? For, lo, the whole world is going after him. ²⁰ And there were also among the people, some who had come up to worship at the feast. ²¹ These came, and approached Philip, who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him: My lord, we are desirous to see Jesus. ²² Philip came and told Andrew; and Andrew and Philip told Jesus. ²³ And Jesus answered, and said to them: The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, That a kernel of wheat, unless it fall and die in the ground, remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth numerous fruits. ²⁵ He that loveth his life, will lose it; and he that hateth his life, in this world, will preserve it unto life everlasting. ²⁶ If any one is servant to me, he will come after me; and where I am, there also will my servant be. Him that serveth me, will the Father honor. ²⁷ Behold, now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? My Father, deliver me from this hour? But for this very cause, came I to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! And a voice was heard from heaven: I have glorified it; and I will glorify it again. ²⁹ And the multitude standing by, heard it; and they said: There was thunder. But others said: An angel spoke with him. ³⁰ Jesus answered, and said to them: This voice was not for my sake, but for yours. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now the ruler of this world is cast out. ³² And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me. ³³ And this he said, to show by what manner of death, he was to die. ³⁴ The multitude said to him: We have heard from the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, that the Son of man is to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? ³⁵ Jesus said to them: A short time longer, the light is with you. Walk, while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. He that walketh in the dark, knoweth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ While the light is with you, confide in the light; that ye may be children of the light. These things said Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them. ³⁷ And although he wrought all these signs before them, they believed him not; ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: My Lord; who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: ⁴⁰ They have blinded their eyes, and darkened their hearts; that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted; and I should heal them. ⁴¹ These things spake Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ⁴² And of the chiefs also, many believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the praise of men, more than the praise of God. ⁴⁴ And Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come into the world, a light, that whoever believeth in me, might not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And whoever shall hear my words, and not observe them, I judge him not; for I did not come to judge the world, but to vivify the world. ⁴⁸ Whoever rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, there is one to judge him; the word which I speak, will judge him, at the last day. ⁴⁹ For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should speak, and what I should say. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life eternal. Therefore, these things which I speak, as my Father hath said to me, so I speak. ¹³ ¹ And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that the hour had come when he should depart from this world unto the Father. And he loved his own people, who were in the world; and he loved them unto the end. ² And when the supper was passed, it had been injected by Satan into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him. ³ And Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given all things into his hands; and that he came out from the Father, and was going to God; ⁴ arose from the supper, and laid aside his long garments, and took a linen cloth, and wrapped it about his loins; ⁵ and poured water into a wash-basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples: and he wiped them with the linen cloth with which he had girded his loins. ⁶ And when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said to him: Dost thou, my Lord, wash my feet for me? ⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do, thou understandest not now: but hereafter thou wilt understand. ⁸ Simon Cephas said to him: Never shalt thou wash my feet. Jesus said to him: Unless I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Cephas said to him: Then, my Lord, not my feet only shalt thou wash, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus said to him: He that hath bathed, needeth not but to wash his feet; for he is all clean. And ye also are clean; but not all of you. ¹¹ For Jesus knew, who would betray him: therefore he said, Ye are not all clean. ¹² And when he had washed their feet, he resumed his long garments, and reclined. And he said to them: Understand ye what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me, Our Rabbi, and Our Lord; and ye speak well; for I am so. ¹⁴ If then I, your Lord and your Rabbi, have washed your feet, how much more ought ye to wash the feet of one another? ¹⁵ For I have given you this example, that ye might do, as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say to you, That no servant is greater than his lord; and no legate is greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy will ye be if ye do them. ¹⁸ Not of you all, do I speak: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted his heel against me. ¹⁹ From this time, I tell you, before it occurs, that when it shall occur, ye may know that I am he. ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you: He that receiveth him whom I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. ²¹ These things said Jesus, and he was agitated in his spirit; and he testified, and said: Verily, verily, I say to you, That one of you will betray me. ²² And the disciples stared at one another; because they knew not, of whom he spake. ²³ And there was one of his disciples, who was reclining on his bosom, he whom Jesus loved; ²⁴ to him Simon Cephas beckoned, that he should ask him, who it was of whom he spoke. ²⁵ And that disciple fell upon the breast of Jesus, and said to him: My Lord, which is he? ²⁶ Jesus answered and said: He it is, to whom I give the bread when I have dipped it. And Jesus dipped the bread, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the bread, then Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: What thou doest, do quickly. ²⁸ And no one of those reclining, knew, wherefore he said this to him. ²⁹ For some of them supposed, because the purse was in the hands of Judas, that Jesus expressly charged him to buy something needful for the feast, or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ And Judas took the bread at once, and went out of the house. And it was night when he went out. ³¹ And Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him. ³² And if God is glorified in him, God will glorify him in himself; and will glorify him speedily. ³³ My children, a little longer I am with you; and ye will seek for me; and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go ye cannot come, so I now say to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that ye be affectionate to each other. As I have loved you, do ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this will every one know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love for each other. ³⁶ Simon Cephas said to him: Our Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, and said to him: Whither I go, thou canst not now come after me; but thou wilt at last come. ³⁷ Simon Cephas said to him: My Lord, why can I not come after thee? I would lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus said to him: Wouldst thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock will not crow, until thou hast three times denied me. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, and, believe in me. ² There are many mansions in the house of my Father: and if not, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go to prepare for you a place, I will come again and take you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. ⁴ And whither I go, ye know; and the way ye know. ⁵ Thomas said to him: Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus said to him: I am the way, and truth, and life: no one cometh unto my Father, but by me. ⁷ If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father: and henceforth, ye know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him: Our Lord, show us the Father, and it will suffice for us. ⁹ Jesus said to him: Have I been all this time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He that seeth me, seeth the Father: and how sayest thou, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me? And the words which I speak, I speak not from myself: but my Father, who dwelleth in me, he doeth these works. ¹¹ Believe, that I am in my Father, and my Father in me. And if not, believe, at least, on account of the works. ¹² Verily, verily, I say to you: He that believeth in me, the works which I do, will he also do. And greater than these will he do, because I go unto my Father. ¹³ And what ye shall ask in my name, I will do for you; that the Father may be glorified in his Son. ¹⁴ And if ye shall ask of me, in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commands. ¹⁶ And I will ask of my Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, and knoweth him not: but ye know him, because he abideth with you, and is in you. ¹⁸ I shall not leave you orphans: for I shall come to you in a little while. ¹⁹ And the world will not see me; but ye will see me. Because I live, ye will live also. ²⁰ In that day ye will know, that I am in my Father; and that ye are in me, and I in you. ²¹ He, with whom are my commands, and who keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, will be loved by my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: My Lord, how is it that thou art to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered, and said to him: He that loveth me, observeth my instruction; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ But he that loveth me not, observeth not my instruction. And the instruction which ye hear, is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. ²⁵ These things have I said to you, while I was with you. ²⁶ But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you every thing, and will remind you of all that I say to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. It is not as the world giveth, that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor be afraid. ²⁸ Ye have heard what I said to you that I go away, and come again to you. If ye had loved me, ye would have rejoiced, that I go to my Father; for my Father is greater than I ²⁹ And now, lo, I have told you, before it occurreth; so that when it shall have occurred, ye may believe. ³⁰ Hereafter I shall not converse much with you; for the ruler of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. ³¹ But that the world may know, that I love my Father, and as my Father commanded me, so I do. Arise; let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine; and my Father is the cultivator. ² Every branch in me, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits. ³ Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing. ⁶ And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned. ⁷ But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to you. ⁸ In this is the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will be my disciples. ⁹ As my Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in the love of me. ¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants; because a servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you my friends; because, whatever I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ It is not ye that chose me, but I that have chosen you; and I have appointed you, that ye also should go and yield fruits, and that your fruits should continue; so that whatever ye may ask of my Father in my name, he may give it you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye should love one another. ¹⁸ And if the world hate you, know ye, that it hated me before you. ¹⁹ And if ye were of the world, the world would love what is of it. But ye are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world; for this cause, the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I spoke to you, That there is no servant, who is greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; and if they have observed my teaching, they will also observe yours. ²¹ But all these things will they do to you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and discoursed with them, sin would not have been to them; but now there is no excuse for their sins. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not wrought before them works which no other person ever did, sin would not have been to them: but now they have seen, and have hated, both me and my Father; ²⁵ so that in them will be fulfilled the word which is written in their law: They hated me, without a cause. ²⁶ But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send to you from my Father, that Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, He will testify of me. ²⁷ And do ye also testify; for ye have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ These things have I said to you, that ye may not be stumbled. ² For they will eject you from their synagogues; and the hour will come, that whoever shall kill you, will suppose that he presenteth an offering to God. ³ And these things will they do, because they have not known either my Father, or me. ⁴ These things have I spoken to you, that when the time of them cometh, ye may recollect, that I told you of them. And I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now, I am going to Him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? ⁶ And because I have told you these things, sorrow hath come and hath filled your hearts. ⁷ But I tell you the truth, that it is profitable for you that I go away; for, if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. ⁹ Of sin because they believe not in me: ¹⁰ and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more: ¹¹ and of Judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. ¹² Moreover, I have much to say to you: but ye cannot comprehend it now. ¹³ But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he will lead you into all the truth. For he will not speak from his own mind; but whatever he heareth, that will he speak: and he will make known to you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me; because he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you. ¹⁵ Whatever the Father hath, is mine: therefore said I to you that he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you. ¹⁶ A little while, and ye will not see me; and again a little while, and ye will see me; because I go to the Father. ¹⁷ And his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye will not see me and again a little while, and ye will see me, because I go to my Father? ¹⁸ And they said: What is this little while, of which he speaketh? We know not what he saith. ¹⁹ And Jesus knew, that they desired to ask him; and he said to them: Are ye debating with each other, of what I said to you, A little while, and ye will not see me, and again a little while, and ye will see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, That ye will weep and lament: And the world will rejoice, while to you will be sorrow. But your sorrow will be turned to joy. ²¹ A woman, in bringing forth, hath sorrow, for the day of her travail hath come: but when she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her anguish, because of the joy that a human being is born into the world. ²² Ye also now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will deprive you of your joy. ²³ And in that day ye will ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall ask of my Father in my name, he will give to you. ²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye will receive; that your joy may be complete. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in allegories: but the hour will come, when I shall not speak to you in allegories, but I will speak to you plainly of the Father. ²⁶ In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you; ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I proceeded from the presence of the Father. ²⁸ I proceeded forth from before the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and thou utterest no allegory. ³⁰ Now know we, that thou knowest every thing; and thou hast no need, that any one should ask thee: by this we believe, that thou didst proceed from God. ³¹ Jesus said to them: Do ye believe? ³² Behold, the hour cometh, and hath now come, when ye will be dispersed, each to his place; and ye will leave me alone. But I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³ These things have I said to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye will have trouble: but, take courage, I have vanquished the world.
