John 11

1NowG1161 a certainG5100 man wasG1510 sickG770, named LazarusG2976, ofG575 BethanyG963, the townG3588G2968 of MaryG3137 andG2532 herG846 sisterG3588G79 MarthaG3136. 2(It wasG1510 that MaryG3137 whichG3588 anointedG218 the LordG3588G2962 with ointmentG3464, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 withG3588G2359 herG846 hairG3588G2359, whoseG3739 brotherG3588G80 LazarusG2976 was sickG770.) 3ThereforeG3767 his sistersG3588G79 sentG649 untoG4314 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, beholdG3708, he whomG3739 thou lovestG5368 is sickG770. 4WhenG1161 JesusG3588G2424 heardG191 that, he saidG3004, ThisG3778 sicknessG3588G769 isG1510 notG3756 untoG4314 deathG2288, butG235 forG5228 the gloryG3588G1391 of GodG3588G2316, thatG2443 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316 might be glorifiedG1392 therebyG1223. 5NowG1161 JesusG3588G2424 lovedG25 MarthaG3588G3136, andG2532 herG846 sisterG3588G79, andG2532 LazarusG3588G2976. 6WhenG5613 he had heardG191 thereforeG3767 thatG3754 he was sickG770, he abodeG3306 twoG1417 daysG2250 stillG3306 inG1722 the sameG3739 place whereG5117 he wasG1510. 7ThenG1899 afterG3326 thatG3778 saith heG3004 toG3588G3101 his disciplesG3588G3101, Let us goG71 intoG1519 JudeaG3588G2449 againG3825. 8His disciplesG3588G3101 sayG3004 unto himG846, MasterG4461, the JewsG2453 of lateG3568 soughtG2212 to stoneG3034 theeG4771; andG2532 goest thouG5217 thitherG1563 againG3825? 9JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611, Are thereG1510 notG3780 twelveG1427 hoursG5610 in the dayG3588G2250? IfG1437 any manG5100 walkG4043 inG1722 the dayG3588G2250, he stumblethG4350 notG3756, becauseG3754 he seethG991 the lightG3588G5457 ofG3588G2889 thisG3778 worldG3588G2889. 10ButG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 walkG4043 inG1722 the nightG3588G3571, he stumblethG4350, becauseG3754 there isG1510 noG3756 lightG3588G5457 inG1722 himG846. 11These thingsG3778 said heG3004: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG3778 he saithG3004 unto themG846, OurG1473 friendG5384 LazarusG2976 sleepethG2837; butG235 I goG4198, thatG2443 I may awakeG1852 himG846 out of sleepG1852. 12ThenG3767 saidG3004 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, LordG2962, ifG1487 he sleepG2837, he shall do wellG4982. 13HowbeitG1161 JesusG3588G2424 spakeG2046 ofG4012 hisG846 deathG3588G2288: butG1161 theyG1565 thoughtG1380 thatG3754 he had spokenG3004 ofG4012 taking of restG3588G2838 in sleepG3588G5258. 14ThenG5119 saidG3004 JesusG3588G2424 unto themG846 plainlyG3954, LazarusG2976 is deadG599. 15AndG2532 I am gladG5463 forG1223 your sakesG4771 thatG2443 I wasG1510 notG3756 thereG1563, to the intentG3754 ye may believeG4100; neverthelessG235 let us goG71 untoG4314 himG846. 16ThenG3767 saidG3004 ThomasG2381, which is calledG3004 DidymusG1324, unto his fellowdisciplesG3588G4827, LetG71 usG1473 alsoG2532 goG71, thatG2443 we may dieG599 withG3326 himG846. 17Then whenG3767 JesusG3588G2424 cameG2064, heG846 found thatG2147 he hadG2192 lain inG1722 the graveG3588G3419 fourG5064 daysG2250 alreadyG2235. 18NowG1161 BethanyG3588G963 wasG1510 nigh untoG1451 JerusalemG3588G2414, aboutG5613 fifteenG1178 furlongsG4712 offG575: 19AndG2532 manyG4183 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 cameG2064 toG4012 MarthaG3136 andG2532 MaryG3137, toG2443 comfortG3888 themG846 concerningG4012 theirG846 brotherG3588G80. 20ThenG3767 MarthaG3136, as soon asG5613 she heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG3588G2424 was comingG2064, went and metG5221 himG846: butG1161 MaryG3137 satG2516 still inG1722 the houseG3588G3624. 21ThenG3767 saidG3004 MarthaG3588G3136 untoG4314 JesusG3588G2424, LordG2962, ifG1487 thou hadst beenG1510 hereG5602, myG1473 brotherG3588G80 hadG2348 notG3756 diedG2348. 22ButG235 I knowG1492, thatG3754 even nowG3568, whatsoeverG3745 thou wilt askG154 of GodG3588G2316, GodG3588G2316 will giveG1325 it theeG4771. 23JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, ThyG4771 brotherG3588G80 shall rise againG450. 24MarthaG3136 saithG3004 unto himG846, I knowG1492 thatG3754 he shall rise againG450 inG1722 the resurrectionG3588G386 atG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250. 25JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto herG846, IG1473 amG1510 the resurrectionG3588G386, andG2532 the lifeG3588G2222: he that believethG4100 inG1519 meG1473, thoughG2579 he were deadG599, yetG2579 shall he liveG2198: 26AndG2532 whosoeverG3956 livethG3588G2198 andG2532 believethG4100 inG1519 meG1473 shallG599 neverG3756G3361 dieG599. Believest thouG4100 thisG3778? 27She saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962: IG1473 believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1510 the ChristG3588G5547, the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316, which should comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889. 28AndG2532 when she hadG3004 soG3778 saidG3004, she went her wayG565, andG2532 calledG5455 MaryG3137 herG846 sisterG3588G79 secretlyG2977, sayingG3004, The MasterG3588G1320 is comeG3918, andG2532 callethG5455 for theeG4771. 29As soon asG5613 sheG1565 heardG191 that, she aroseG1453 quicklyG5035, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846. 30NowG1161 JesusG3588G2424 wasG2064 not yetG3768 comeG2064 intoG1519 the townG3588G2968, butG235 wasG1510 inG1722 that placeG3588G5117 whereG3699 MarthaG3588G3136 metG5221 himG846. 31The JewsG2453 thenG3767 which wereG1510 withG3326 herG846 inG1722 the houseG3588G3614, andG2532 comfortedG3888 herG846, when they sawG3708 MaryG3588G3137, thatG3754 she rose upG450 hastilyG5030 andG2532 went outG1831, followedG190 herG846, sayingG3004, She goethG5217 untoG1519 the graveG3588G3419 toG2443 weepG2799 thereG1563. 32ThenG3767 whenG5613 MaryG3137 was comeG2064 whereG3699 JesusG3588G2424 wasG1510, and sawG3708 himG846, she fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG3588G4228, sayingG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, ifG1487 thou hadst beenG1510 hereG5602, myG1473 brotherG3588G80 hadG599 notG3756 diedG599. 33WhenG5613 JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sawG3708 herG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 the JewsG2453 alsoG4905 weepingG2799 which cameG4905 with herG846, heG1438 groanedG1690 in the spiritG3588G4151, andG2532 was troubledG5015, 34AndG2532 saidG3004, WhereG4226 have ye laidG5087 himG846? They saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, comeG2064 andG2532 seeG3708. 35JesusG3588G2424 weptG1145. 36ThenG3767 saidG3004 the JewsG2453, BeholdG3708 howG4459 he lovedG5368 himG846! 37AndG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 saidG3004, CouldG1410 notG3756 this manG3778, which openedG455 the eyesG3588G3788 of the blindG5185, have causedG4160 thatG2443 evenG2532 this manG3778 shouldG599 notG3361 have diedG599? 38JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 againG3825 groaningG1690 inG1722 himselfG1438 comethG2064 toG1519 the graveG3588G3419. It wasG1510 a caveG4693, andG2532 a stoneG3037 layG1945 uponG1909 itG846. 39JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004, Take ye awayG142 the stoneG3588G3037. MarthaG3136, the sisterG3588G79 of him that was deadG2348, saithG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, by this timeG2235 he stinkethG3605: forG1063 he hath beenG1510 dead four daysG5066. 40JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, Said IG3004 notG3756 unto theeG4771, thatG3754, ifG1437 thou wouldest believeG4100, thou shouldest seeG3708 the gloryG3588G1391 of GodG3588G2316? 41ThenG3767 they took awayG142 the stoneG3588G3037 from the place whereG3757 the deadG2348 wasG1510 laidG2749. AndG1161 JesusG2424 liftedG142 upG507 his eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 saidG3004, FatherG3962, I thankG2168 theeG4771 thatG3754 thou hast heardG191 meG1473. 42AndG1161 IG1473 knewG1492 thatG3754 thou hearestG191 meG1473 alwaysG3842: butG235 because ofG1223 the peopleG3588G3793 which stand byG4026 I saidG3004 it, thatG2443 they may believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG1473. 43AndG2532 when heG3004 thusG3778 had spokenG3004, he criedG2905 with aG5456 loudG3173 voiceG5456, LazarusG2976, comeG1204 forthG1854. 44AndG2532 he that was deadG2348 came forthG1831, boundG1210 handG3588G5495 andG2532 footG3588G4228 withG1210 graveclothesG2750: andG2532 hisG846 faceG3588G3799 was bound about withG4019 a napkinG4676. JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, LooseG3089 himG846, andG2532 let himG863 goG5217. 45ThenG3767 manyG4183 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 which cameG2064 toG4314 MaryG3588G3137, andG2532 had seenG2300 the things whichG3739 JesusG3588G2424 didG4160, believedG4100 onG1519 himG846. 46ButG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 went their waysG565 toG4314 the PhariseesG3588G5330, andG2532 toldG3004 themG846 what thingsG3739 JesusG3588G2424 had doneG4160.

47ThenG3767 gatheredG4863 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the PhariseesG3588G5330 a councilG4892, andG2532 saidG3004, WhatG5101 do weG4160? forG3754 thisG3778 manG3588G444 doethG4160 manyG4183 miraclesG4592. 48IfG1437 we letG863 himG846 thus aloneG3779, allG3956 men will believeG4100 onG1519 himG846: andG2532 the RomansG4514 shall comeG2064 andG2532 take awayG142 bothG2532 ourG1473 placeG3588G5117 andG2532 nationG3588G1484. 49AndG1161 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, named CaiaphasG2533, beingG1510 the high priestG749 that sameG1565 yearG3588G1763, saidG3004 unto themG846, YeG4771 knowG1492 nothingG3756 at allG3762, 50NorG3761 considerG1260 thatG3754 it is expedientG4851 for usG1473, thatG2443 oneG1520 manG444 should dieG599 forG5228 the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 thatG2443 the wholeG3650 nationG3588G1484 perishG622 notG3361. 51AndG1161 thisG3778 spake heG3004 notG3756 ofG575 himselfG1438: butG235 beingG1510 high priestG749 thatG1565 yearG3588G1763, he prophesiedG4395 thatG3754 JesusG3588G2424 shouldG3195 dieG599 forG5228 that nationG3588G1484; 52AndG2532 notG3756 forG5228 that nationG3588G1484 onlyG3440, butG235 thatG2443 alsoG2532 he should gather togetherG4863 inG1519 oneG1520 the childrenG3588G5043 of GodG3588G2316 that were scattered abroadG1287. 53ThenG3767 fromG575 thatG1565 dayG3588G2250 forthG575 they took counsel togetherG4823 forG2443 to putG615 himG846 to deathG615. 54JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 walkedG4043 noG3756 moreG2089 openlyG3954 amongG1722 the JewsG2453; butG235 wentG565 thenceG1564 untoG1519 a countryG3588G5561 near toG1451 the wildernessG2048, intoG1519 a cityG4172 calledG3004 EphraimG2187, and thereG2546 continuedG1304 withG3326 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101.

55AndG1161 the Jews’G2453 passoverG3957 wasG1510 nigh at handG1451: andG2532 manyG4183 wentG305 out ofG1537 the countryG3588G5561 up toG1519 JerusalemG2414 beforeG4253 the passoverG3957, toG2443 purifyG48 themselvesG1438. 56ThenG3767 sought theyG2212 for JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 spakeG3004 amongG3326 themselvesG240, as they stoodG2476 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, WhatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG4771, thatG3754 he willG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 toG1519 the feastG3588G1859? 57NowG1161 bothG2532 the chief priestsG3588G749 andG2532 the PhariseesG3588G5330 had givenG1325 a commandmentG1785, thatG2443, ifG1437 any manG5100 knewG1097 whereG4226 he wereG1510, he should shewG3377 it, thatG3704 they might takeG4084 himG846.
