John 11:32-55

³²Then when Mary was come where Iesus was, and sawe him, she fell downe at his feete, saying vnto him, Lord, if thou haddest bene here, my brother had not bene dead.

³³When Iesus therefore saw her weepe, and the Iewes also weepe which came with her, hee groned in the spirit, and was troubled in himselfe,

³⁴And saide, Where haue ye layde him? They said vnto him, Lord, come and see.

³⁵And Iesus wept.

³⁶Then saide the Iewes, Beholde, how he loued him.

³⁷And some of them saide, Coulde not he, which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue made also, that this man should not haue died?

³⁸Iesus therefore againe groned in himselfe, and came to the graue. And it was a caue, and a stone was layde vpon it.

³⁹Iesus saide, Take ye away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said vnto him, Lord, he stinketh alreadie: for he hath bene dead foure dayes.

⁴⁰Iesus saide vnto her, Saide I not vnto thee, that if thou diddest beleeue, thou shouldest see the glorie of God?

⁴¹Then they tooke away the stone from the place where the dead was layde. And Iesus lift vp his eyes, and saide, Father, I thanke thee, because thou hast heard me.

⁴²I knowe that thou hearest me alwayes, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue, that thou hast sent me.

⁴³As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.

⁴⁴Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hande and foote with bandes, and his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus said vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe.

⁴⁵Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.

⁴⁶But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done.

⁴⁷Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.

⁴⁸If we let him thus alone, all men will beleeue in him, and the Romanes will come and take away both our place, and the nation.

⁴⁹Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all,

⁵⁰Nor yet doe you consider that it is expedient for vs, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

⁵¹This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:

⁵²And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.

⁵³Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death.

⁵⁴Iesus therefore walked no more openly among the Iewes, but went thence vnto a countrey neere to the wildernes, into a citie called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

⁵⁵And the Iewes Passeouer was at hande, and many went out of the countrey vp to Hierusalem before the Passeouer, to purifie themselues.
