John 11:1-15

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 JudæaG3588G2449 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.
