John 11:1-16:33 Now one Lazarus, an inhabitant of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now one Lazarus, an inhabitant of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick. ² It was this Mary who anointed the Lord with balsam, after wiping his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ The sisters, therefore sent to Jesus, saying, Sir, He whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ Upon hearing this, Jesus said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that by it the son of God may be glorified. ⁵ Therefore though Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus, ⁶ yet when he heard that he was, sick, he then stayed two days in the place where he was. ⁷ And after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again to Judea. ⁸ The disciples say to him, Rabbi, very lately the Jews sought to stone thee, and art thou going thither again? ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walketh in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world: ¹⁰ but if any one walk in the night he stumbleth because there is no light in him. ¹¹ Thus he spake, and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is composed to rest; but I am going to wake him. ¹² Thereupon his disciples said, Master, if he is composed to rest, he will recover. ¹³ Now Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Therefore Jesus then told them plainly, Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And on your account that you may believe, I am glad that I was not there. But let us go to him. ¹⁶ Upon this Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go that we may die with him. ¹⁷ So when Jesus came, he found that he had now 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 on the death of their brother. ²⁰ Therefore soon as Martha heard that Jesus is coming she went out to meet him; but Mary remained in the house. ²¹ Martha therefore said to Jesus, Master, if thou hadst been here my brother would not have died; ²² but still I know that whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will grant thee. ²³ Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again. ²⁴ Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again at the resurrection, at the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believeth in me, though he may die, shall live. ²⁶ And none who liveth and believeth in me shall ever die. Believest thou this? ²⁷ She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, the one coming into the world. ²⁸ And having said this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The teacher is come and calleth for thee. ²⁹ As soon as she heard, she riseth instantly and goeth to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was at the place where Martha met him. ³¹ When the Jews therefore who were in the house, and comforting her, saw that Mary arose hastily and went out, they followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb to weep there. ³² When Mary then was come to the place where Jesus was, upon seeing him she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother would not have died. ³³ Therefore when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he restrained his spirit, and was troubled, ³⁴ and said, Where have you laid him? They say to him, Master, Come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ Upon this the Jews said, Behold! how he loved him! ³⁷ And some of them said, Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind have prevented his death? ³⁸ Then Jesus, again restraining himself, cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave and a stone lay upon it. ³⁹ Jesus saith, Remove the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, saith to him, Master, by this time the smell is offensive; for this is the fourth day. ⁴⁰ Jesus saith to her, Did I not tell thee, if thou wouldst believe thou shouldst see the glory of God? ⁴¹ Then they removed the stone from where the deceased lay. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. ⁴² Now I know that thou hearest me always; but I have said this for the sake of the people standing around, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, Come forth. ⁴⁴ Whereupon he who had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped in a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him and let him go. ⁴⁵ Upon this many of the Jews who had come to Mary, when they saw what Jesus had done, believed in him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ Whereupon the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrim, and said, What are we doing? Because this man doth many miracles, ⁴⁸ if we let him go on thus, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both this place and this nation of ours. ⁴⁹ And one of them, namely, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Are you totally ignorant, ⁵⁰ and do you not consider that it is better for us that one man die for the people than that the whole nation should perish. ⁵¹ Now this he said not merely of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was soon to die for that nation, ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he might gather into one body the children of God who were scattered abroad. ⁵³ From that day therefore they consulted together that they might put him to death. ⁵⁴ For this reason Jesus walked no more publicly among the Jews, but went thence to the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and continued there with his disciples. ⁵⁵ Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many came up to Jerusalem from the country, before the passover, to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ They therefore sought Jesus, and said to one another as they were standing in the temple, What think ye? Will he not come to this festival? ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had issued an order, that if any one knew where he is, he should give information, that they might apprehend him. ¹² ¹ Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, went to Bethany were Lazarus was, who had been dead, and whom he had raised from the dead. ² And a supper was made for him there; and Martha waited, and Lazarus was one of them who were at table with him. ³ Mary then having taken a pound of the balsam of spikenard, unadulterated, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus when she had wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odour of the balsam. ⁴ Upon which one of the disciples, namely Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, who was about to deliver him up, ⁵ said, Why was not this balsam sold for three hundred deniars, and given to the poor?" ⁶ Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the purse and carried off what was put into it. ⁷ Therefore Jesus said, Let her alone. She hath kept this for the day of preparing my body for burial, ⁸ for you have the poor always with you; but me you have not always. ⁹ Now a great number of the Jews knew that he was there, and had come, not on the account of Jesus only; but to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead; ¹⁰ the chief priests therefore determined to put Lazarus also to death, ¹¹ because on his account many of the Jews withdrew and believed in Jesus. ¹² On the next day a great multitude who had come to the festival, hearing that Jesus is coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! Blessed he, who is coming in the name of the Lord! The king of Israel! ¹⁴ Now Jesus having found a young ass, was riding thereon, agreeably to what is written, ¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter, of Sion! behold thy king cometh mounted on an ass's colt." ¹⁶ These things his disciples did not understand at the time; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him; and that they had done them for him. ¹⁷ Now because the multitude who were with him testified that he had called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him, from the dead; ¹⁸ and on this account the multitude met him, because they heard that he had done this miracle, ¹⁹ therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, You see that you gain no advantage. Behold the world is gone after him. ²⁰ Now among them who came up to worship at the festival, there were some Greeks. ²¹ These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, We wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip cometh and telleth Andrew. And Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. ²³ Whereupon Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified. ²⁴ Verily, verily I say to you, If the grain of wheat which falleth on the ground dieth not, it remaineth a single grain. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. ²⁵ He who loveth his life, will lose it: but he who slighteth his life in this world, shall keep it for an everlasting life. ²⁶ If any one would wait upon me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall this attendant of mine also be. And if any one wait upon me my Father will reward him. ²⁷ Now is my soul troubled. What then? Shall I say, Father save me from this hour? But for this cause I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. Thereupon a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." ²⁹ The multitude therefore who were standing by, when they heard it, said, it thundered. Others said, An angel hath spoken to him, ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for yours. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world. Now will the chieftain of this world be cast out. ³² As for me, when I am lifted up from the ground, I will draw all men to me. ³³ [Now this he said, signifying the death he should soon die.] ³⁴ The multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law that "The Christ remaineth forever." 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 the light is with you. Walk while you have the light that the darkness may not overtake you; for he who walketh in darkness knoweth not where he is going. ³⁶ while you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of light. Having said this, Jesus withdrew, and was concealed from them. ³⁷ Now though he had performed so many miracles before them, they did not believe in him, ³⁸ so that the word of the prophet Esaias was confirmed, which he spoke, Lord who hath believed our report, and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? ³⁹ It was because they were not enabled to believe that in another place Esaias said, ⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and stupified their hearts, so that they saw not with their eyes, nor understood with their heart, nor turned that I might heal them. ⁴¹ This Esaias said when he saw his glory and spake concerning him. ⁴² Nevertheless when several of the chief's believed in him, but on account of the Pharisees did not acknowledge it, that they might not be excommunicated, ⁴³ [for they loved the praise of men, more than the praise of God] ⁴⁴ therefore Jesus raised his voice and said, He who believeth in me, believeth not merely in me, but in him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And he who beholdeth me, beholdeth him who sent me. ⁴⁶ I being light am come into the world, that whoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ Now if any one hear my words and believe not; it is not I who condemn him; for I did not come to condemn the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He who slighteth me and receiveth not my words, hath that which condemneth him; the word which I have spoken, that will condemn him at the last day. ⁴⁹ Because I have not spoken from myself, but the father who sent me hath himself given me a command what I should enjoin, and what I should speak, ⁵⁰ and I know that his commandment is everlasting life, therefore what I speak, I speak just as the father directed me. ¹³ ¹ . Now before this festival of the passover, as Jesus knew that his time was come that he should remove from this world to the father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the last. ² When they were at supper [the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot son of Simon to deliver him up,] ³ Jesus knowing that the father hath given all things into his hands, and that he had come forth from God, and is going to God, ⁴ riseth from the supper and layeth aside his upper garments, and having taken a towel and girded himself, ⁵ he then poureth water into the basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and wipe them with the towel, with which he was girded. ⁶ He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. Whereupon Peter saith to him, "Master, thou wash my feet?"! ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing thou dost not comprehend at present, but thou shalt know hereafter. ⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Unless I wash thee thou hast no portion with me. ⁹ Simon Peter saith to him; Master, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head. ¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He who hath bathed needeth only to wash the feet, the rest of the body being clean. Now you are clean, but not all, ¹¹ [For he knew him who was delivering him up, therefore he said, You are not all clean.] ¹² So when he had washed their feet and put on his garments, having again taken his place at table, he said to them, Consider what I have done to you. ¹³ You call me The teacher and the master; and you say right, for so I am. ¹⁴ If I then, the master and the teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet; ¹⁵ for I have set you an example, that you may do as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily I say to you, The servant is not greater than his master; nor is a missionary greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, happy are you if you practise them. ¹⁸ I do not speak of you all. I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He Who is eating bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹ This I tell you now before it happeneth, that when it cometh to pass you may believe me to be what I am. ²⁰ Verily, verily I say to you, He who receiveth whomsoever I shall send, receiveth me; and he who receiveth me receiveth him who sent me. ²¹ Having said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified and said, Verily, verily I say to you, that one of you is to deliver me up. ²² Upon this his disciples looked at one another, doubting of whom he spake. ²³ Now one of the disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclined at table next to Jesus. ²⁴ Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him to ask who it might be of whom he spake. ²⁵ Thereupon he, bending back his head to Jesus breast, saith to him, Master, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answereth, It is he to whom I will give this morsel after I have dipped it. Then, having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And, after the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, What thou dost, do quickly. ²⁸ Now none of them at table knew for what purpose he said this to him. ²⁹ For some thought, as Judas had the purse, that Jesus is saying to him, Buy what we have need of for the festival, or that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ He therefore, having received the morsel, went out immediately. Now it was night. ³¹ When he therefore was gone, Jesus saith, Now is the son of man glorified; and God is glorified by him. ³² If God be glorified by him, God will also glorify him in himself. Indeed without delay he will glorify him. ³³ Children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, whither I am going yon cannot come, so I now say to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give you, that you love one another. As I have loved you, that you also love one another. ³⁵ By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you exercise mutual love. ³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, Master, whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going thou canst not follow me now; but here after thou wilt follow me. ³⁷ Peter saith to him, Master, Why can not I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus answered him, Thou wilt lay down thy life for me! Verily, verily, I say to thee, A cock will not crow till thou hast thrice denied me. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust also in me. ² In my Father's house there are many mansions. If there were not, would I have said to you, I am going to prepare a place for you? ³ Now when I have gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. ⁴ Now you know whither I am going and you know the way; ⁵ Thomas saith to him, Master, We do not know whither thou art going, how then can 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 by me. ⁷ Had you known me, you would have known my Father also. But hence forth you know him and have seen him. ⁸ Philip saith to him, Master shew us the Father, and it sufficeth. ⁹ Jesus saith to him, Am I so long a time with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? He who hath seen me hath seen the Father: how then sayest thou, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰ Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you, I do not speak from myself. And it is the Father himself abiding in me who doth the works. ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me. At least believe me on account of the works themselves. ¹² Verily, verily, I say to you, He who believeth in me, even he shall do the works which I do; nay, works greater than these he shall do, because I am going to my Father, ¹³ and whatever you ask in my name, that I will do. That the Father may be glorified in the Son, ¹⁴ if you ask any thing in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If you love me keep my commandments, ¹⁶ and I will ask the Father and he will give you another monitor, that he may continue with you forever, ¹⁷ even the spirit of truth which the world cannot receive because it neither seeth him nor knoweth him. But you know him, because he abideth with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans. I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more; but you see me. Because I live therefore you shall live. ²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them; he. it is who loveth me. And he who loveth me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him. ²² Judas [not the Iscariot] saith to him, Master, How is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?" ²³ Jesus in reply, said to him, If any one love me, he will keep my word and my Father will love him; and we will come to him and make an abode with him. ²⁴ He who doth not love me, doth not keep my words. Now the word which you hear is not mine only, but the Fathers who sent me. ²⁵ These things I have spoken to you, while I remain with you. ²⁶ But the Monitor the Holy Spirit which the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave with you. This peace of mine I give you. It is not as the world giveth that I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled nor dismayed. ²⁸ You have heard me say to you, I am going away and I am coming to you. If you love me, you would rejoice because I said, I am going to the Father: for my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ Now I have told you before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass you may believe. ³⁰ I will not discourse much more with you, for the; chieftain of this world is coming, and hath nothing to do with me; ³¹ save only that the world may know that I love the Father and do as he commanded me. Arise; let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser. ² Every branch in me which beareth not fruit, he loppeth off; and every branch which beareth fruit he cleaneth to make it more fruitful. ³ Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I [will abide] in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine; so neither can you unless you continue in me. ⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. He who continueth in me and I in him he it is who beareth much fruit. Because, separated from me, you can bear nothing: ⁶ if any one continueth not in me he is thrown away as the branch is when it is withered. Such indeed are gathered and thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷ If you continue in me, and my words continue in you, ask what you will and it will be done for you: ⁸ by this my Father is glorified. That you may bear much fruit, you must be my disciples. ⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so I have loved you. Continue ye in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall continue in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments and continue in his love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you that my joy may continue, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹³ No one hath greater love than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do what I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants; because the servant doth not know what his master doth. But I have called you friends, because I have made known to you all that I heard from my Father. ¹⁶ It was not you who chose me; but it was I who chose you, and placed you that you may go forth bearing fruit, and that your fruit may continue, that the Father may give you whatever you ask of him in my name. ¹⁷ These things I command you that you may love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, consider that it hated me before you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own. Now because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spake to you. The servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will also keep yours. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them works which no other did, they would not have had sin: but now, though they have seen, they have hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But by this is fulfilled the word which is written in their law, They hated me without cause. ²⁶ Now when the monitor whom I Will send to you from the Father, is come; the spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, he will testify concerning me. ²⁷ And as for you, bear ye witness also, because you have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ These things I have spoken to you that you may not be stumbled. ² They will excommunicate you. Indeed a time is coming, when whosoever killeth you will think he doth an act of religious worship to God. ³ And these things they will do to you because they know neither the Father nor me. ⁴ But I have spoken these things to you, that, when that time cometh, you may remember that I mentioned them to you. I did not tell you them from the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going. ⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow hath filled your hearts. ⁷ But, I tell you this truth, it is to your advantage that I go away: for if I do not go, the monitor will not come to you; but when I go I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he is come, he will convince the world in respect to sin, and in respect to righteousness, and in respect to judgment ⁹ in respect to sin, because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰ and in respect to righteousness because I go to my Father and you see me no more; ¹¹ and in respect to judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. ¹² I have still many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ But when he the spirit of truth, is come, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak from himself, but will speak whatsoever he shall have heard, and will explain to you the train of events. ¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will receive of mine, and communicate to you. ¹⁵ All that the Father hath is mine; therefore I said, He will receive of mine, and communicate to you. ¹⁶ Yet a little while and you do not see me; and again a little while and you shall see me, because I am going to the Father. ¹⁷ Upon this some of his disciples said to one another, What is this which he saith to us, "A little while and you do not see me; and again a little while and you shall see me;" and, "because I am going to the Father." ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this little while of which he speaketh? We do not comprehend what he saith. ¹⁹ As Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, therefore he said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, because I said, A little while, and you do not see me; and again a little while and you shall see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, "You will weep and mourn; but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful; but your sorrow will be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman in travail hath sorrow, because her time is come; but when the child is born, she no more remembereth her anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²² So you at present are in grief; but I will see you again and your heart will be made joyful; and that joy of yours no one shall take from you. ²³ Now in that day you will not ask me any thing. Verily, verily, I say to you, whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete. ²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in parables. But a time is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but with plainness of speech tell you respecting the Father. ²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you; ²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. ²⁸ I came forth from the Father and am come into the world. Again I leave the world and am going to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples say to him, Behold now thou speakest plainly and usest no parable. ³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any should ask thee questions. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? ³² Behold the time is coming, indeed is now come, when you will be scattered every one to his own, and you will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that you may have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble; but take courage: I have overcome the world.
