1Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
2(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, look, he whom you lovest is sick.
4And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
7Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
8The disciples say to him: Teacher, the Jews but now sought to stone you: and go you there again?
9Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he sees the light of this world:
10But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
11These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
15And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.
16Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
18(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
19And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
22But now also I know that whatever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
23Jesus says to her: Your brother shall rise again.
24Martha says to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26And every one that liveth, and believes in me, shall not die forever. Believest you this?
27She says to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that you art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
28And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calls for you.
29She, as soon as she heard this, rises quickly, and comes to him.
30For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.
31The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goes to the grave to weep there.
32When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and says to him: Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
33Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,
34And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
35And Jesus wept.
36The Jews therefore said: Look how he loved him.
37But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?
38Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.
39Jesus says: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, says to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.
40Jesus says to her: Did not I say to you, that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?
41They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give you thanks that you have heard me.
42And I knew that you hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
43When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
44And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.
45Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
