2And it was Marye, which anoyntide the Lord with oynement, and wipte hise feet with hir heeris, whos brother Lazarus was sijk.
3Therfor hise sistris senten to hym, and seide, Lord, lo! he whom thou louest, is sijk.
4And Jhesus herde, and seide to hem, This syknesse is not to the deth, but for the glorie of God, that mannus sone be glorified bi hym.
5And Jhesus louyde Martha, and hir sistir Marie, and Lazarus.
6Therfor whanne Jhesus herde, that he was sijk, thanne he dwellide in the same place twei daies.
7And after these thingis he seide to hise disciplis, Go we eft in to Judee.
8The disciplis seien to hym, Maister, now the Jewis souyten for to stoone thee, and eft goist thou thidir?
9Jhesus answerde, Whether ther ben not twelue ouris of the dai? If ony man wandre in the dai, he hirtith not, for he seeth the liyt of this world.
10But if he wandre in the niyt, he stomblith, for liyt is not in him.
11He seith these thingis, and aftir these thingis he seith to hem, Lazarus, oure freend, slepith, but Y go to reise hym fro sleep.
12Therfor hise disciplis seiden, Lord, if he slepith, he schal be saaf.
13But Jhesus hadde seid of his deth; but thei gessiden, that he seide of slepyng of sleep.
14Thanne therfor Jhesus seide to hem opynli, Lazarus is deed;
15and Y haue ioye for you, that ye bileue, for Y was not there; but go we to hym.
16Therfor Thomas, that is seid Didymus, seide to euen disciplis, Go we also, that we dien with hym.
17And so Jhesus cam, and foond hym hauynge thanne foure daies in the graue.
18And Bethany was bisidis Jerusalem, as it were fiftene furlongis.
