And a certain poor man by the name of Lazarus was laid at his gate, afflicted with ulcers, read more. and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; but the dogs also came and licked his ulcers. And the poor man died, and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he called and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in pain in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in pain. And besides all this, there is a great chasm fixed between us and you, so that those wishing to pass from hence to you cannot, neither can they pass from thence to us. And he said, I beseech you then, father, send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, to testify fully to them, that they may not also come to this place of torment But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. But he said, No, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead they would change their minds. But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they would not be persuaded if one arose from the dead.

A CERTAIN man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus was sick. read more. Then the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick. But Jesus hearing it said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it. And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he continued in the place where he was two days. Then after that he said to the disciples, Let us go again into Judea. The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews lately sought to stone you, and do you go there again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day? and if one walks in the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world; but if he walks in the night he stumbles, because the light is not in it. He said these things, and after this he said to them, Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him. Then they said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will recover. But Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep. Then Jesus, therefore, said to them plainly, Lazarus has died; and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him. Then Thomas, who is called The twin, said to the fellow disciples, Let us go also, that we may die with him. Then Jesus coming found that he had been four days in the tomb. And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadiums [1 3-4 miles] distant. And many of the Jews came to those with Martha and Mary, to console them for their brother. Then when Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out to meet him; but Mary sat in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died; but now also I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again. Martha said to him, I know that he will rise at the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, even if he has died, shall live, and no one who lives and believes in me shall ever die; do you believe this? She said to him, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world. And having said this she went away and called Mary her sister, privately, saying, The teacher has come and calls for you. When she heard, she arose quickly and came to him; but Jesus had not yet entered into the village, but was at the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she arose and went out quickly, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb to weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died. Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was greatly agitated in spirit and affected, and said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, Behold, how he loved him. And some of them said, Could not this man who opens the eyes of the blind, cause that even he should not have died? Then Jesus again being agitated within himself came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he smells; for he has been dead four days. Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you will believe you shall see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted his eyes above, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me; and I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude who stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And the dead came forth, bound as to his feet and hands with bandages, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where a moth and corrosion destroy, and where thieves dig through and steal. But lay up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither a moth nor corrosion destroys, and where thieves dig not through nor steal; read more. for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

and I tell you that many shall come from the East and from the West, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, but the children of the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But she said, Yes, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

And Jesus being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

And when he was at Bethany, and was reclining at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came, having a vase of ointment of genuine nard, extremely costly, and breaking the vase she poured it out on his head.

And one young man followed him with a linen cloth wrapped about his naked body. And the young men caught him; and leaving the linen cloth he escaped from them naked.

And having bought linen, he took him down and wrapped him in the linen, and placed him in a tomb which was cut from a rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

Bear fruits, therefore, worthy of a change of mind. And say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

AND one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and going into the Pharisee's house he reclined. And behold, a certain woman in the city, a sinner, knowing that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, brought a vase of ointment, read more. and standing behind, by his feet, weeping, washed his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. And the Pharisee who invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying, If this was a prophet he would have known who and what kind of a woman this is who touches him; for she is a sinner. And Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, say it.

And as they were pursuing their journey he entered into a certain village. And a woman by the name of Martha received him into her house.

But Martha was distracted with much serving, and came and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her, therefore, to help me. And the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and disturbed about many things, read more. but of one thing there is need; and Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

And he said to them, You are they that justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts; for that which is high among men is an abomination before God.

There was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day. And a certain poor man by the name of Lazarus was laid at his gate, afflicted with ulcers, read more. and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; but the dogs also came and licked his ulcers. And the poor man died, and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he called and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in pain in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in pain. And besides all this, there is a great chasm fixed between us and you, so that those wishing to pass from hence to you cannot, neither can they pass from thence to us.

But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they would not be persuaded if one arose from the dead.

And when he came near and saw the city he wept over it,

I tell you most truly, he that hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life, and comes not into judgment, but has passed from death to life. I tell you most truly, that the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those that hear shall live.

Then they sought again to take him by force; and he escaped out of their hand. And he went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John first baptized, and continued there.

And many of the Jews came to those with Martha and Mary, to console them for their brother.

but now also I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.

Martha said to him, I know that he will rise at the resurrection at the last day.

And having said this she went away and called Mary her sister, privately, saying, The teacher has come and calls for you.

And the dead came forth, bound as to his feet and hands with bandages, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.

but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrim, and said, What do we accomplish? for this man performs many miracles. read more. If we leave him thus all will believe on him; and the Romans will come and take away our place and nation. And one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all, neither consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that all the nation should perish. This he said not of himself, but being chief priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; and not for the nation only, but to bring together into one [body] all the children of God scattered abroad. From that day, therefore, they took counsel to kill him.

Then they made him a supper there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those that reclined with him.

The multitude, therefore, which was with him, testified that he called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him from the dead. On this account also the multitude met him, because they heard that he had performed this miracle.

He, falling down on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, who is it?

Then his disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak plainly, and say no parable;

Then Simon Peter came following him, and went into the tomb, and beheld the bandages lying, and the napkin which was on his head not lying with the bandages but folded up in a place by itself.

And [God] gave him no inheritance in it, not the breadth of a foot, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no son.

Why is it judged by you incredible that God raises the dead?

For we have not a chief priest who cannot sympathise with our infirmities, but one tried in all respects as we are, without sin.

All these died in faith not having received the promises, but having seen and saluted them from a distance, and having professed that they were foreigners and strangers on the earth.

And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, These things says he that has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars, I know your works, that you have a name to live, and are dead.

and I tell you that many shall come from the East and from the West, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

And behold, a woman of Canaan from those regions came out and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is badly affected with a demon. read more.

But he answered and said, I am not sent, except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me! But he answered and said, It is not right to take the children's bread and cast to the dogs. But she said, Yes, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters. Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it to you as you wish; and her daughter was cured from that hour.

And Jesus being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to him having a vase of very costly ointment, and poured it on his head, as he reclined. read more. And his disciples seeing it were displeased, and said, Why is this waste? This could have been sold for much and given to the poor. But Jesus knowing it, said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? for she has done a good work for me; for the poor you always have with you, but me you have not always. For in putting this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. I tell you truly, that wherever this good news is preached in all the word, what this woman has done shall be told for a memorial of her.

And he rose up, and departed thence to the regions of Tyre. And entering into a house he wished no one to know it; and he could not be hid. But immediately, a woman whose little daughter had an impure spirit, hearing of him, came and fell down at his feet; read more. and she was a Greek, a Syrophenician by race; and she asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter. And he said to her, Suffer the children first to be filled; it is not right to take the children's bread, and cast it to the little dogs. And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. And he said to her, For this speech, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter. And departing to her house, she found the little child laid on the bed, and the demon gone out.

And when he was at Bethany, and was reclining at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came, having a vase of ointment of genuine nard, extremely costly, and breaking the vase she poured it out on his head. And some were displeased, [and said] to themselves, Why was this waste of the ointment? read more. For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii [$42] and given to the poor; and they blamed her. But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good work on me. The poor you have always with you, and you can do them good when you will; but me you have not always. She has done what she could. She anticipated anointing my body for the burial. I tell you truly, that wherever this good news shall be preached in all the world, this also which she has done shall be told for a memorial of her.

And I tell you, Make yourselves friends of the riches procured by injustice, that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.

But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they would not be persuaded if one arose from the dead.

These things occurred in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Then he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. Hearing that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and desired him to come down and cure his son, for he was about to die. read more. Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see miracles and prodigies you will not believe. The nobleman said to him, Lord, come down before my child dies. Jesus said to him, Go; your son lives. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went. And as he was now going down his servants met him, and told, saying, Your child lives. Then he inquired of them the hour in which he became better. Then they said to him, The fever left him yesterday, at the seventh hour. Then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives; and he believed, and all his house. This second miracle did Jesus, having come from Judea into Galilee.

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he continued in the place where he was two days. Then after that he said to the disciples, Let us go again into Judea. The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews lately sought to stone you, and do you go there again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day? and if one walks in the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world; but if he walks in the night he stumbles, because the light is not in it. He said these things, and after this he said to them, Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him. Then they said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep he will recover. But Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep. Then Jesus, therefore, said to them plainly, Lazarus has died; and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him. Then Thomas, who is called The twin, said to the fellow disciples, Let us go also, that we may die with him. Then Jesus coming found that he had been four days in the tomb. And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadiums [1 3-4 miles] distant. And many of the Jews came to those with Martha and Mary, to console them for their brother. Then when Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out to meet him; but Mary sat in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died; but now also I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again. Martha said to him, I know that he will rise at the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, even if he has died, shall live, and no one who lives and believes in me shall ever die; do you believe this? She said to him, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world. And having said this she went away and called Mary her sister, privately, saying, The teacher has come and calls for you. When she heard, she arose quickly and came to him; but Jesus had not yet entered into the village, but was at the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she arose and went out quickly, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb to weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died. Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was greatly agitated in spirit and affected, and said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, Behold, how he loved him. And some of them said, Could not this man who opens the eyes of the blind, cause that even he should not have died? Then Jesus again being agitated within himself came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he smells; for he has been dead four days. Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you will believe you shall see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted his eyes above, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me; and I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude who stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

THEN Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Then they made him a supper there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those that reclined with him. read more. Then Mary taking a pound of genuine nard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. But the Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii [$42], and given to the poor? But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the treasure-chest, and carried off the things put in it. Then Jesus said, Let her alone, that she may keep this for the day of preparation for my burial; the poor you always have with you, but me you have not always. A great multitude of the Jews, therefore, knew that he was there, and came, not on account of Jesus only, but also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. And the chief priests took counsel to kill Lazarus also, because many of the Jews withdrew on his account and believed in Jesus. On the next day a great multitude having come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel! And Jesus finding a young ass sat on it, as it is written; Fear not, Daughter of Zion; behold, your King comes sitting on the colt of an ass. His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. The multitude, therefore, which was with him, testified that he called Lazarus from the tomb, and raised him from the dead.
