John 11:6-40

⁶When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.

⁷Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.

⁸The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?

⁹Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:

¹⁰But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

¹¹These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

¹²His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

¹³But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.

¹⁴Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.

¹⁵And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.

¹⁶Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.

¹⁷Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.

¹⁸(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)

¹⁹And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

²⁰Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.

²¹Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

²²But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

²³Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.

²⁴Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.

²⁵Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:

²⁶And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?

²⁷She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

²⁸And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.

²⁹She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.

³⁰For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.

³¹The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.

³²When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,

³⁴And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.

³⁵And Jesus wept.

³⁶The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.

³⁷But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?

³⁸Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.

³⁹Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
