And a certain one was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. And Mary was the one anointing the Lord with myrrh, and wiping His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. Then the sisters sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold the one whom thou lovest is sick. read more.
And Jesus hearing said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it. Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus, with Divine love. Therefore when He heard that he was sick, He then remained two days in the place in which He was. Then after this He says to the disciples, Let us go again unto Judea. The disciples said to Him, Master, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; dost thou go hither again? Jesus responded, Are there not twelve hours of the day? If any one may walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world: if any one may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. He spoke these things: and after this He says to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; and I go that I may awaken him. Then the disciples said to Him, Lord, if he is asleep, he will be saved. But Jesus spoke concerning his death: and they thought that He spoke concerning the rest of sleep. Then however Jesus spoke to them openly, Lazarus is dead, and I rejoice on account of you that I was not there, in order that you may believe; but let us go to him. Then Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples; Let us go too, that we may die with Him. Then Jesus having come, found him having four days in the sepulcher. But Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs. And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother. Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus comes, went to meet Him: and Mary sat in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. And now I know that, whatsoever things you may ask of God, God will give to you. Jesus says to her, Thy brother will rise again. Martha says to Him, I know he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing on me, though he may die, shall live: and every one living and believing on me can never die: do you believe this? She says to Him, Yes, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, come into the world. And having said this, she departed, and called her sister Mary, speaking secretly, The Teacher is present, and calls you. She, when she heard, arises quickly, and comes to Him: Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was yet in the place where Martha met Him. Then the Jews being with her in the house, and comforting her, seeing Mary, that she arose up quickly and went out, followed her, thinking that she goes to the tomb in order that she may weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, seeing Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews, having come with her, weeping, He groaned in spirit, and troubled Himself, and said, Where have you laid him? They say to Him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then the Jews were saying, Behold, how He loved him as a friend! And some of them said, Was not this One, having opened the eyes of the blind, able to bring it to pass, that he indeed should not die? Then Jesus again groaning in Himself comes to the tomb; and it was a cave, and a stone was laid upon it. Jesus says; Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to Him; Lord, already he smelleth: for he is dead four days. Jesus says to her; Did I not tell thee, that, if thou canst believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone; and Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee, because Thou hast heard Me. I know that Thou dost always hear Me; but on account of the multitude standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that Thou didst send Me. And speaking these things, He cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come forth. And the dead came out, bound as to his feet and hands with graveclothes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him go.

And the Sabbath passing away, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, prepared aromatics, in order that having come they may anoint Him.

But go, tell His disciples and Peter, that He goes before you into Galilee: you shall see Him there, as He told you. And having come out from the sepulcher, they fled; and trembling and ecstasy possessed them, and they said nothing to any one; for they were afraid.

And it came to pass, while they were at a loss concerning this, and behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: and they being afraid, and turning their face towards the ground, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

Remember how He spoke to you, being with you in Galilee, Saying That it behooveth the Son of man to be delivered into the hands of sinners, and to be crucified, and to rise again on the third day. And they remembered His words. And having returned from the sepulcher, they proclaimed all these things to the eleven, and all the rest. And Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them spoke these things to the apostles. And their words appeared before them like a dream; and they doubted them. OMITTED TEXT And behold, two of them on that day were journeying to a village, distant from Jerusalem sixty furlongs, to which was the name Emmaus: and they were conversing with one another concerning all those things which had transpired. And it came to pass, while they are talking and making inquiry, Jesus Himself also having come nigh, journeyed along with them: and their eyes were held so as not to recognize Him. And He said to them, What speeches are these which you are interchanging to one another, walking along? And they stood still, looking sad. And one, whose name was Cleopas, said to Him, Dost thou only sojourn at Jerusalem and not know the things which have taken place in it in these days? And He said to them, What? And they said to Him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet-man mighty in work and word before God and all the people. How the chief priests and our rulers indeed delivered Him up to the condemnation of death, and they crucified Him. But we were hoping that He is the one about to redeem Israel: but truly in addition to all these things, this is the third day from which these things took place. But certain women from us truly surprised us, being early at the sepulcher; and not seeing His body, came, saying, they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that He is alive. And certain ones of those with us went away to the sepulcher, and found as the women also said: and they saw Him not. And He said to them, O ye foolish, and slow in heart to believe in all those things which the prophet spoke! Did it not behoove Christ to suffer, and to enter into His glory? And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures, the things concerning Himself. And they drew nigh to the village, whither they were going: and He made as though He would go further: and they constrained Him, saying, Abide with us: because it is at the evening, and the day has already declined. And He came in to abide with them. And it came to pass, while He was reclining with them at the table, taking bread, He blessed it, and breaking it, He gave it to them: and their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him; and He vanished from them.

And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those with them gathered together, saying, The Lord indeed is risen, and was seen by Simon. And they expounded those things on the way, and bow He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. And they speaking these things, He stood in their midst, and they being affrighted and filled with fear, thought they saw a spirit.
