John 11:1-16:33 But there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. ² It was the Mary 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 lovest is sick. ⁴ And Jesus hearing this said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ When therefore he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days. ⁷ Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. ⁸ The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews but just now were seeking to stone thee, and goest thou thither again? ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world; ¹⁰ but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth; because the light is not in him. ¹¹ This he spoke, and afterwards said to them, Our friend Lazarus hath fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. ¹² The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he hath fallen asleep, he will recover. ¹³ But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the taking of rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there; that ye may believe; but let us go to him. ¹⁶ Then said Thomas, who was called Didymus, to his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. ¹⁷ Having come, therefore, Jesus found that he had been four days in the tomb. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; ¹⁹ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but Mary continued sitting in the house. ²¹ Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died; ²² and even now I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it thee. ²³ Jesus saith to her, Thy brother will rise again. ²⁴ Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he have died, will live; ²⁶ and whoever liveth and believeth in me will never die. Believest thou this? ²⁷ She saith to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, he who was to come into the world. ²⁸ And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here and calleth for thee. ²⁹ She, when she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha met him. ³¹ The Jews then who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there. ³² Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ³³ Jesus therefore when he saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, was greatly moved in his spirit, and much troubled, ³⁴ and said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ The Jews therefore said, See, how he loved him! ³⁷ But some of them said, Could not he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have also caused that this man should not have died? ³⁸ Jesus therefore, again greatly moved within himself, cometh to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. ³⁹ Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time the body is offensive; for he hath been dead four days. ⁴⁰ Jesus saith to her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? ⁴¹ They therefore took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! I thank thee that thou hast heard me. ⁴² Yet I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude standing around I said it, that they might believe that thou didst send me. ⁴³ And having thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth! ⁴⁴ He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go. ⁴⁵ Many of the Jews therefore who had come to Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we to do, seeing that this man worketh many signs? ⁴⁸ If we thus let him alone, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being highpriest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all; ⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish. ⁵¹ And this he spoke not from himself; but being highpriest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; ⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together in one body the children of God that are scattered abroad. ⁵³ Therefore from that day forth they consulted together to put him to death. ⁵⁴ Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed thence to the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there abode with the disciples. ⁵⁵ And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ They sought therefore for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should give information, that they might seize him. ¹² ¹ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. ² They made therefore a supper for him there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at the table with him. ³ Then Mary, taking a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. ⁴ But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he who was about to betray him, saith, ⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor? ⁶ And this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and kept the purse, and bore what was put therein. ⁷ Then said Jesus, Let her alone, that she may keep it until the day of my burial. ⁸ For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always. ⁹ The great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came, not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead. ¹⁰ But the priests consulted together that they might put Lazarus also to death; ¹¹ because on his account many of the Jews were going away, and believing in Jesus. ¹² On the next day, a great multitude that had come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ took branches of palmtrees, and went forth to meet him, crying aloud, Hosanna! blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel! ¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon, as it is written, ¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter of Zion! lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an asss colt." ¹⁶ These things his disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. ¹⁷ The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness. ¹⁸ For this cause also the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had wrought, this sign. ¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Ye see that ye effect nothing; o! the world hath gone after him. ²⁰ Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. ²¹ These came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip goeth and telleth Andrew; Andrew and Philip go and tell Jesus. ²³ But Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour hath come that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴ Truly, truly do I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, itself abideth alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. ²⁵ He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world will keep it unto everlasting life. ²⁶ If any one be a servant to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also will my servant be; if any one serve me, the Father will honor him. ²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour! But for this cause I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! Then came there a voice from heaven: Yea, I have glorified it, and will glorify it again. ²⁹ The multitude therefore that stood by, hearing this, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel hath spoken to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice hath come not for my sake, but for yours. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now will the prince of this world be cast out; ³² and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men to me. ³³ This he said, signifying what kind of death he was to die. ³⁴ The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abideth for ever; how then dost thou say that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? ³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and went away, and hid himself from them. ³⁷ But though he had wrought so many signs before them, they did not believe in him; ³⁸ that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" ³⁹ For this cause they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them." ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ⁴² Yet even of the rulers many believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God. ⁴⁴ But Jesus cried aloud, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me; ⁴⁵ and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come a light into the world, that whoever believeth in me may not remain in the darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any one hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, that will judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹ Because I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me hath himself committed to me what I should say, and what I should speak; ⁵⁰ and I know that what he hath committed to me is everlasting life. What I speak therefore, I speak as the Father hath directed me. ¹³ ¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them unto the end. ² And supper being served,the Devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him, ³ he, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God, ⁴ riseth from the supper, and layeth aside his garments, and took a towel, and girded himself. ⁵ Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. ⁶ So he cometh to Simon Peter; who saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou wilt know hereafter. ⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that hath bathed needeth not to wash himself, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all. ¹¹ For he knew who was about to betray him; for this reason he said, Ye are not all clean. ¹² So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and placed himself again at the table, he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me the Teacher, and the Lord; and ye say well; for so I am. ¹⁴ If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one anothers feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Truly, truly do I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord, nor one who is sent greater than he that sent him. ¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. ¹⁸ I speak not of you all; I know whom I chose; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted up his heel against me." ¹⁹ I tell you now before it hath come to pass, that when it hath come to pass ye may believe that I am He. ²⁰ Truly, truly do I say to you, He that receiveth whomever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. ²¹ Having said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Truly, truly do I say to you, that one of you will betray me. ²² The disciples therefore looked at one another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³ There was reclining on Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ To him therefore Simon Peter maketh a sign, and saith to him, Tell who it is of whom he is speaking. ²⁵ He, therefore, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, saith to him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answereth, It is he for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him. Having therefore dipped the morsel, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. ²⁷ And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus therefore saith to him, What thou doest, do quickly. ²⁸ Now no one at the table knew for what intent he said this to him. ²⁹ For some thought, because Judas kept the purse, that Jesus said to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ He then, having received the morsel, went out immediately; and it was night. ³¹ When therefore he had gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him. ³³ My children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek me; and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come, so now I say to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this will all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one for another. ³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, whither dost thou go? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou wilt follow me afterward. ³⁷ Peter saith to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Truly, truly do I say to thee, A cock will not crow, till thou hast thrice denied me. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled. Have faith in God, and have faith in me. ² In my Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. For I go away to prepare a place for you; ³ and when I have gone away and prepared a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, ye also may be. ⁴ And ye know the way whither I go. ⁵ Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how then do we know the way? ⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one cometh to the Father but through me. ⁷ If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also; and from this time ye know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip saith to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied. ⁹ Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how is it that thou sayest, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself; but the Father, who dwelleth in me, doeth his works. ¹¹ Believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; but if not, believe for the very works sake. ¹² Truly, truly do I say to you, He that believeth in me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater than these shall he do; because I am going to the Father, ¹³ and whatever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do; that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments; ¹⁶ and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever; ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it doth not behold it, nor know it; ye know it, because it abideth with you, and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you bereaved; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye will behold me, because I live, and ye will live. ²⁰ In that day ye will know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that hath my commandments and 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, saith to him, And how is it, Lord, that thou art going to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any one loveth me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Fathers who sent me. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you, while abiding with you; ²⁶ but the Comforter, the Holy Spirit which the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things which I have said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world giveth, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. ²⁸ Ye heard me say to you, I am going away, and am coming again to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced that I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it hath come to pass, that when it hath come to pass ye may believe. ³⁰ I shall not talk much more with you. For the prince of the world cometh, and hath nothing in me. ³¹ But [this must be] that the world may know that I love the Father, and that as the Father gave me commandment so I do. Arise, let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Ye are clean already, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it abide not in the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing. ⁶ If any one abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burned. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever ye will, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will become my disciples. ⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. ¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye will abide in my love, even as I have kept my Fathers commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. ¹² This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love hath no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do what I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things which I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. ¹⁷ This I command you, that ye love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember what I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my words, they will keep yours also. 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 spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their Law: "They hated me without a cause." ²⁶ When the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he will bear witness of me. ²⁷ And ye also are witnesses, because ye have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ These things have I spoken to you, that ye may not fall away. ² They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, the hour is coming when every one that killeth you will think that he is offering sacrifice to God. ³ And these things will they do, because they neither know the Father nor me. ⁴ But I have spoken these things to you, that, when the time cometh, ye may remember that I myself told you of them. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I go to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your hearts. ⁷ But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I depart. For if I do not depart, 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 bring conviction to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. ⁹ Of sin, because they believe not in me; ¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more; ¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged. ¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. ¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that he will speak; and he will tell you the things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will receive of what is mine, and will tell it to you. ¹⁵ Every thing that the Father hath is mine. For this cause I said, that he receiveth of what is mine, and will tell it to you. ¹⁶ A little while, and ye no longer behold me; and again a little while, and ye will see me. ¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will see me? and, Because I go to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We do not know what he is speaking of. ¹⁹ Jesus knew that they were desirous of asking him, and said to them, Is it of this that ye are inquiring of one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will See me? ²⁰ Truly, truly do I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, through joy that a man is born into the world. ²² So ye also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one taketh from you. ²³ And in that day ye will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father, he will give it you in my name. ²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye will receive, that your joy may be made full. ²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in parables. The time is coming, when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but shall tell you plainly of the Father. ²⁶ In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not tell you that I will pray the Father for you; ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God. ²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples say, Lo! now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable. ³⁰ Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any one should ask thee; by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? ³² Behold, the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when ye will be scattered, every one to his own, and will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
