John 11:1-44

And a certain Lazarus was sick, from Bethany, of the town of Mary And Martha her sister. (And Mary was she having anointed the Lord with perfumed oil, and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Then sent the sisters to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. read more.
And Jesus having heard, said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God be honoured. And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he is sick, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days. Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. The disciples say to him, Rabbi, now the Jews sought to stone thee; and retirest thou there again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day.? If any walk in the day, he stumbles not, for he sees the light of this world. But if any walk in the night, he stumbles, for light is not in him. These things said he: and after this he says to them, Lazarus our friend has been set to sleep; but I go, that I might waken him. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he has been set to sleep, he shall be saved. And Jesus spake of his death: but these supposed that he speaks of the repose of sleep. Then therefore Jesus said to them with freedom of speech, Lazarus is dead. And I rejoice for you, that ye might believe, that I was not there; but let us go to him. Then said Thomas, called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we might die with him. Then Jesus, having come, found him having four days already in the tomb. And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia. And many of the Jews were come to them about Martha and Many, that they might console them for their brother. Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus comes, met him: and Mary sat in the house. Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But now I also know, that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall arise. Martha says to him, I know that he shall rise at the rising up in the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the rising up, and life: he believing in me, though he die, shall live. And all living and believing in me should never die. Believest thou this? She says to him, Yes, Lord: I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of God, he coming into the world. And having said these, she departed and called Mary her sister secretly, having said, The Teacher is come, and calls thee. She, when she heard, arises quickly, and comes to him. And Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews being in the house with her, and consoling her, having seen Mary, that she rose quickly and went forth, followed her, saying, That she retires to the tomb, that she might weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou wert here, my brother had not died. Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping having come with her, was heavy in spirit, and troubled himself, And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, See how he loved him I And certain of them said, Could not he having opened the eyes of the blind, have made that this should not die? Then Jesus again being heavy in himself, comes to the tomb. 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, he already smells: for it is the fourth day. Jesus says to her, Said I not to thee, if thou shouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God Then took they away the stone where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes above, and said, Father, I return thee thanks that thou didst hear me. And I knew that thou always hearest me: but for the crowd standing round I said, that they might believe that thou didst send me. And having said these, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out. And the dead came out, bound feet and hands with bandages; and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him retire.

And very early in the morning of one of the sabbaths, they came to the tomb, the sun having risen. And they said to themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb? read more.
And having looked up, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And having come to the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, being encompassed with a white robe; and they were terrified. And he says to them, Be not terrified: Ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, being crucified: he was raised; he is not here: see the place where they laid him. But retire ye; say to his disciples and to Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you. And having come forth quickly, they fled from the tomb; and terror and amazement held them: and they said nothing to any; for they were afraid. And having risen early the first of the sabbath, he was manifested first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast seven demons. She having gone announced to them having been with him, grieving and weeping. And they having heard that he lives, and was seen by her, believed not. And after these things, to two of them, walking about, was he manifested in another form, they going into the field. And they having come announced to the rest: neither did they believe them. Afterwards to those reclining at table was he manifested, and he reproached their unbelief and hard heart, because they believed not them having seen him raised.

And it was in their being perplexed for this, and, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And they having, been afraid, and bending the face to the earth, they said to them, Why seek ye the living with the dead He is not here, but has risen: remember how he spake to you being yet in Galilee, Saying, That the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and be raised up the third day. And they remembered his words, And having returned from the tomb, they announced these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. And they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the rest with them, who said these things to the sent. And their words appeared before them as idle talk, and they believed them not. And Peter having risen, ran to the tomb; and having stooped, saw the linen bandages lying alone, and he departed, wondering in himself at what was done. And, behold, two of them were going in the same day to a town being about sixty stadia from Jerusalem, the name of which Emmaus. And they were conversing with one another concerning all things having happened. And it was in their conversing and seeking out together, and Jesus himself, having drawn near, went with them. And their eyes were holden not to know him. And he said to them, What words these which, walking about, ye discuss with one another, and are of gloomy aspect? And one having answered, to whom the name Cleopas, said to him, Sojournest thou alone in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things done in it in these days? And Jesus said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarite, who was a man, a prophet, powerful in work and words before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to the judgment of death, and crucified him. And we hoped that this is he about to redeem Israel: but also with all these things, to day it brings the third day from which these things were. And also certain women of ours moved us out of place, having been early at the tomb; And not finding his body, they came, saying also to have seen a vision of messengers, who say he is living. And certain of them with us departed to the tomb, and found so as the women said: and him they saw not. And he said to them, O ye unwise, and slow in heart to believe in all things which the prophets spake: Must not Christ suffer these things, and enter into his glory? And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained clearly to them in all the writings concerning himself. And they drew near to the town where they were going: and he laid claim to go still further. And they constrained him, saying, Remain with us: for it is near eve, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them. And it was in his reclining at table with them, having taken bread, he praised, and having broken, bestowed upon them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he was removed from their view. And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us, as he spake to us in the way, and as he opened the writings to us And having risen the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those with them. Saying, That truly the Lord was risen, and was seen to Simon. And they recounted the things in the way, and how he was known to them in the breaking of bread. And they speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and he says to them, Peace to you. And they, struck with awe and being afraid, thought to see a spirit. And he said to them, Why have ye been troubled? and wherefore do reflections come up in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, for I am he; feel, and see: for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as ye see me having. And having said this, he showed them hands and feet. And yet they not believing from joy, and wondering, he said to them, Have ye any food here? And they bestowed upon him part of a broiled fish, and of an honey comb. And having taken, he ate before them. And he said to them, These the words which I spake to you, being yet with you, for all things must be completed, written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, to understand the writings, And he said to them, That so has it been written, and so was it necessary for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
