"},{"verseNumber":2,"text":"(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.) "},{"verseNumber":3,"text":"His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. "},{"verseNumber":4,"text":"And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it. "},{"verseNumber":5,"text":"Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus. "},{"verseNumber":6,"text":"When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days. "},{"verseNumber":7,"text":"Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again. "},{"verseNumber":8,"text":"The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again? "},{"verseNumber":9,"text":"Jesus 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: "},{"verseNumber":10,"text":"But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. "},{"verseNumber":11,"text":"These 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. "},{"verseNumber":12,"text":"His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. "},{"verseNumber":13,"text":"But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep. "},{"verseNumber":14,"text":"Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. "},{"verseNumber":15,"text":"And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him. "},{"verseNumber":16,"text":"Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. "},{"verseNumber":17,"text":"Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave. "},{"verseNumber":18,"text":"(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.) "},{"verseNumber":19,"text":"And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. "},{"verseNumber":20,"text":"Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home. "},{"verseNumber":21,"text":"Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. "},{"verseNumber":22,"text":"But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. "},{"verseNumber":23,"text":"Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again. "},{"verseNumber":24,"text":"Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. "},{"verseNumber":25,"text":"Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: "},{"verseNumber":26,"text":"And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? "},{"verseNumber":27,"text":"She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world. "},{"verseNumber":28,"text":"And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee. "},{"verseNumber":29,"text":"She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him. "},{"verseNumber":30,"text":"For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him. "},{"verseNumber":31,"text":"The 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. "},{"verseNumber":32,"text":"When 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. "},{"verseNumber":33,"text":"Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself, "},{"verseNumber":34,"text":"And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see. "},{"verseNumber":35,"text":"And Jesus wept. "},{"verseNumber":36,"text":"The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him. "},{"verseNumber":37,"text":"But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die? "},{"verseNumber":38,"text":"Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it. "},{"verseNumber":39,"text":"Jesus 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. "},{"verseNumber":40,"text":"Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? "},{"verseNumber":41,"text":"They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. "},{"verseNumber":42,"text":"And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. "},{"verseNumber":43,"text":"When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth. "},{"verseNumber":44,"text":"And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go. "},{"verseNumber":45,"text":"Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him. "},{"verseNumber":46,"text":"But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done. "},{"verseNumber":47,"text":"The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles? "},{"verseNumber":48,"text":"If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation. "},{"verseNumber":49,"text":"But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing. "},{"verseNumber":50,"text":"Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. "},{"verseNumber":51,"text":"And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation. "},{"verseNumber":52,"text":"And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed. "},{"verseNumber":53,"text":"From that day therefore they devised to put him to death. "},{"verseNumber":54,"text":"Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his disciples. "},{"verseNumber":55,"text":"And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to purify themselves. "},{"verseNumber":56,"text":"They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? "},{"verseNumber":57,"text":"And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
