RYLT(i)
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --
2 and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --
3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom you do love is ailing;'
4 and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
6 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
7 then after this, he said to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
8 the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone you, and again you do go thither!'
9 Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he does not stumble, because the light of this world he does see;
10 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.'
11 These things he said, and after this he said to them, 'Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
12 therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaks.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus has died;
15 and I rejoice, for your sake, (that you may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
16 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
18 And Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
19 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus does come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if you hadst been here, my brother had not died;
22 but even now, I have known that whatever you may ask of God, God will give to you;'
23 Jesus said to her, 'Your brother shall rise again.'
24 Martha said to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
25 Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;
26 and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;
27 believe you this?' she said to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
28 And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and does call you;'
29 she, when she heard, rises up quickly, and does come to him;
30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
31 the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- 'She does go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'
32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if you hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,
34 'Where have you laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'
35 Jesus wept.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'
37 and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'
38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, comes to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
39 Jesus said, 'Take you away the stone;' the sister of him who has died -- Martha -- said to him, 'Sir, already he stinks, for he is four days dead;'
40 Jesus said to her, 'Said I not to you, that if you may believe, you shall see the glory of God?'
41 They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank You, that You did hear me;
42 and I knew that You always do hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that You did send me.'
43 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'
44 and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrin, and said, 'What may we do? because this man does many signs?
48 if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'
49 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'You have not known anything,
50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
51 And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
52 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
54 Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
55 And the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;
56 they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What does appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'
57 and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may show it, so that they may seize him.
12 1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;
2 they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;
3 Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Therefore said one of his disciples -- Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up --
5 'Therefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'
6 and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she has kept it,
8 for the poor you have always with yourselves, and me you have not always.'
9 A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
12 On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus does come to Jerusalem,
13 took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord -- the king of Israel;'
14 and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
15 'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, your king does come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
16 And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.
17 The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
18 because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,
19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'You see that you do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
21 these then came near to Philip, who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour has come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
24 verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remains alone; and if it may die, it does bear much fruit;
25 he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world -- to life age-during shall keep it;
26 if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.
27 'Now has my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say -- Father, save me from this hour? -- but because of this I came to this hour;
28 Father, glorify Your name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'
29 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there has been thunder; others said, 'A messenger has spoken to him.'
30 Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me has this voice come, but because of you;
31 now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;
34 the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ does remain -- to the age; and how do you say, That it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'
35 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness has not known where he goes;
36 while you have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light you may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37 yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?'
39 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
40 'He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
41 these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, does not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 and he who is beholding me, does behold Him who sent me;
46 I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;
47 and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 'He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, has one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,
49 because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
50 and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father has said to me, so I speak.'
13 1 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour has come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world -- to the end he loved them.
2 And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,
3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father has given to him -- into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goes,
4 does rise from the supper, and does lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;
5 afterward he putts water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.
6 He comes, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one said to him, 'Sir, you -- do you wash my feet?'
7 Jesus answered and said to him, 'That which I do you have not known now, but you shall know after these things;'
8 Peter said to him, 'You may not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, 'If I may not wash you, you have no part with me;'
9 Simon Peter said to him, 'Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'
10 Jesus said to him, 'He who has been bathed has no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and you are clean, but not all;'
11 for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, 'You are not all clean.'
12 When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, 'Do you know what I have done to you?
13 you call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and you say well, for I am;
14 if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- you also ought to wash one another's feet.
15 'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, you also may do;
16 verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;
17 if these things you have known, happy are you, if you may do them;
18 not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.
19 'From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, you may believe that I am he;
20 verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, does receive me; and he who is receiving me, does receive Him who sent me.'
21 These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'
22 the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaks.
23 And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;
24 Simon Peter, then, does beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaks,
25 and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, responds to him, 'Sir, who is it?'
26 Jesus answers, 'That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.
27 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, said to him, 'What you do -- do quickly;'
28 and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,
29 for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus said to him, 'Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;
30 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.
31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus said, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;
32 if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.
33 'Little children, yet a little am I with you; you will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, you are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.
34 'A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; according as I did love you, that you also love one another;
35 in this shall all know that you are my disciples, if you may have love one to another.'
36 Simon Peter said to him, 'Sir, whither do you go away?' Jesus answered him, 'Whither I go away, you art not able now to follow me, but afterward you shall follow me.'
37 Peter said to him, 'Sir, therefore am I not able to follow you now? my life for you I will lay down;'
38 Jesus answered him, 'Your life for me you will lay down! verily, verily, I say to you, a cock will not crow till you may deny me thrice.'
14 1 'Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;
2 in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;
3 and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am you also may be;
4 and whither I go away you have known, and the way you have known.'
5 Thomas said to him, 'Sir, we have not known whither you goes away, and how are we able to know the way?'
6 Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one does come unto the Father, if not through me;
7 if you had known me, my Father also you would have known, and from this time you have known Him, and have seen Him.'
8 Philip said to him, 'Sir, show to us the Father, and it is enough for us;'
9 Jesus said to him, 'So long time am I with you, and you have not known me, Philip? he who has seen me has seen the Father; and how do you say, Show to us the Father?
10 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself does the works;
11 believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.
12 'Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;
13 and whatever you may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;
14 if you ask anything in my name I will do it.
15 'If you love me, my commands keep,
16 and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age;
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not behold him, nor know him, and you know him, because he does remain with you, and shall be in you.
18 'I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;
19 yet a little, and the world does no more behold me, and you behold me, because I live, and you shall live;
20 in that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you;
21 he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'
22 Judas said to him, (not the Iscariot), 'Sir, what has come to pass, that to us you are about to manifest yourself, and not to the world?'
23 Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;
24 he who is not loving me, my words does not keep; and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
25 'These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you,
26 and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.
27 'Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world does give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;
28 you heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if you did love me, you would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.
29 'And now I have said it to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, you may believe;
30 I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world does come, and in me he has nothing;
31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence.
15 1 'I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;
2 every branch in me not bearing fruit, He does take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He does cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;
3 already you are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;
4 remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither you, if you may not remain in me.
5 'I am the vine, you the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one does bear much fruit, because apart from me you are not able to do anything;
6 if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;
7 if you may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever you may wish you shall ask, and it shall be done to you.
8 'In this was my Father glorified, that you may bear much fruit, and you shall become my disciples.
9 According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love;
10 if my commandments you may keep, you shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;
11 these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.
12 'This is my command, that you love one another, according as I did love you;
13 greater love than this has no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;
14 you are my friends, if you may do whatever I command you;
15 no more do I call you servants, because the servant has not known what his lord does, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.
16 'You did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that you might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.
17 'These things I command you, that you love one another;
18 if the world does hate you, you know that it has hated me before you;
19 if of the world you were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world you are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hates you.
20 'Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;
21 but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;
22 if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.
23 'He who is hating me, does hate also my Father;
24 if I did not do among them the works that no other has done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;
25 but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause.
26 'And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father does come forth, he will testify of me;
27 and you also do testify, because from the beginning you are with me.
16 1 'These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled,
2 out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour does come, that every one who has killed you, may think to offer service unto God;
3 and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.
4 'But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;
5 and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you does ask me, Whither do you go?
6 but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow has filled your heart.
7 'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;
8 and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
9 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;
10 and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do you behold me;
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 'I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now;
13 and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;
14 He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.
15 'All things, as many as the Father has, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;
16 a little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'
17 Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he said to us, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'
18 they said then, 'What is this he said -- the little while? we have not known what he said.'
19 Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do you seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me?
20 verily, verily, I say to you, that you shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.
21 'The woman, when she may bear, has sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more does she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.
22 'And you, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one does take from you,
23 and in that day you will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as you may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;
24 till now you did ask nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there comes an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.
26 'In that day, in my name you will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,
27 for the Father himself does love you, because me you have loved, and you have believed that I from God came forth;
28 I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'
29 His disciples say to him, 'Lo, now freely you do speak, and no similitude speak you;
30 now we have known that you have known all things, and have no need that any one do question you; in this we believe that from God you did come forth.'
31 Jesus answered them, 'Now do you believe? lo, there does come an hour,
32 and now it has come, that you may be scattered, each to his own things, and me you may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;
33 these things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace, in the world you shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'
