11:1And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --

11:2and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

11:3therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

11:4and 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.'

11:5And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

11:6when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

11:7then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'

11:8the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

11:9Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

11:10and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'

11:11These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'

11:12therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'

11:13but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

11:14Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

11:15and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

11:16therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'

11:17Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

11:18And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

11:19and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

11:20Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

11:21Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

11:22but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

11:23Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.'

11:24Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

11:25Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

11:26and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age; believest thou this?'

11:27she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

11:28And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

11:29she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

11:30and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

11:31the 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 doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'

11:32Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'

11:33Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself,

11:34and he said, `Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, `Sir, come and see;'

11:35Jesus wept.

11:36The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!'

11:37and 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?'

11:38Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

11:39Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

11:40Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

11:41They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

11:42and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

11:43And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;'

11:44and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.'

11:45Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

11:46but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

11:47the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

11:48if 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.'

11:49and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

11:50nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

11:51And 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,

11:52and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

11:53From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

11:54Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

11:55And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

11:56they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'

11:57and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him.

12:1Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;

12:2they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;

12:3Mary, 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.

12:4Therefore saith one of his disciples -- Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up --

12:5`Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'

12:6and 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.

12:7Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,

12:8for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'

12:9A 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;

12:10and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

12:11because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.

12:12On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,

12:13took 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;'

12:14and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,

12:15`Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'

12:16And 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.

12:17The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;

12:18because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,

12:19the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, `Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'

12:20And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,

12:21these then came near to Philip, who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, `Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'

12:22Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

12:23And Jesus responded to them, saying, `The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;

12:24verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;

12:25he 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;

12:26if 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.

12:27`Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say -- Father, save me from this hour? -- but because of this I came to this hour;

12:28Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'

12:29the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, `A messenger hath spoken to him.'

12:30Jesus answered and said, `Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;

12:31now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;

12:32and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'

12:33And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;

12:34the multitude answered him, `We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'

12:35Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

12:36while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,

12:37yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

12:38that 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?'

12:39Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

12:40`He hath 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;'

12:41these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

12:42Still, 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,

12:43for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

12:44And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

12:45and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;

12:46I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;

12:47and 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.

12:48`He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,

12:49because 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,

12:50and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'

13:1And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath 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.

13:2And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

13:3Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

13:4doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;

13:5afterward he putteth 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.

13:6He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, `Sir, thou -- dost thou wash my feet?'

13:7Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

13:8Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'

13:9Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.'

13:10Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;'

13:11for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, `Ye are not all clean.'

13:12When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, `Do ye know what I have done to you?

13:13ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;

13:14if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

13:15`For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

13:16verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

13:17if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

13:18not 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.

13:19`From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am he;

13:20verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

13:21These 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;'

13:22the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

13:23And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

13:24Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

13:25and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?'

13:26Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

13:27And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost -- do quickly;'

13:28and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

13:29for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;

13:30having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

13:31When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

13:32if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

13:33`Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

13:34`A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

13:35in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.'

13:36Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.'

13:37Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;'

13:38Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'
