New Testament

John 11

1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

ην δε τις ασθενων λαζαρος απο βηθανιας, εκ της κωμης μαριας και μαρθας της αδελφης αυτης.

2It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

ην δε μαρια η αλειψασα τον κυριον μυρω και εκμαξασα τους ποδας αυτου ταις θριξιν αυτης, ης ο αδελφος λαζαρος ησθενει.

3Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, 'Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.'

απεστειλαν ουν αι αδελφαι προς αυτον λεγουσαι· κυριε, ιδε ον φιλεις ασθενει.

4When Jesus heard that, He said, 'This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

ακουσας δε ο ιησους ειπεν· αυτη η ασθενεια ουκ εστιν προς θανατον, αλλ υπερ της δοξης του θεου, ινα δοξασθη ο υιος του θεου δι αυτης.

5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

ηγαπα δε ο ιησους την μαρθαν και την αδελφην αυτης και τον λαζαρον.

6So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.

ως ουν ηκουσεν οτι ασθενει, τοτε μεν εμεινεν εν ω ην τοπω δυο ημερας·

7Then after this He said to the disciples, 'Let us go to Judea again.'

επειτα μετα τουτο λεγει τοις μαθηταις· αγωμεν εις την ιουδαιαν παλιν.

8The disciples said to Him, 'Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?'

λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται· ραββι, νυν εζητουν σε λιθασαι οι ιουδαιοι, και παλιν υπαγεις εκει;

9Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

απεκριθη ιησους· ουχι δωδεκα εισιν ωραι της ημερας; εαν τις περιπατη εν τη ημερα, ου προσκοπτει, οτι το φως του κοσμου τουτου βλεπει·

10But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.'

εαν δε τις περιπατη εν τη νυκτι, προσκοπτει, οτι το φως ουκ εστιν εν αυτω.

11These things He said, and after that He said to them, 'Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.'

ταυτα ειπεν, και μετα τουτο λεγει αυτοις· λαζαρος ο φιλος ημων κεκοιμηται· αλλα πορευομαι ινα εξυπνισω αυτον.

12Then His disciples said, 'Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.'

ειπον ουν οι μαθηται αυτου· κυριε, ει κεκοιμηται, σωθησεται.

13However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.

ειρηκει δε ο ιησους περι του θανατου αυτου· εκεινοι δε εδοξαν οτι περι της κοιμησεως του υπνου λεγει.

14Then Jesus said to them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead.

τοτε ουν ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους παρρησια· λαζαρος απεθανεν,

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

και χαιρω δι υμας, ινα πιστευσητε, οτι ουκ ημην εκει· αλλ αγωμεν προς αυτον.

16Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, 'Let us also go, that we may die with Him.'

ειπεν ουν θωμας ο λεγομενος διδυμος τοις συμμαθηταις· αγωμεν και ημεις ινα αποθανωμεν μετ αυτου.

17So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

ελθων ουν ο ιησους ευρεν αυτον τεσσαρας ημερας ηδη εχοντα εν τω μνημειω.

18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.

ην δε η βηθανια εγγυς των ιεροσολυμων ως απο σταδιων δεκαπεντε,

19And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

και πολλοι εκ των ιουδαιων εληλυθεισαν προς τας περι μαρθαν και μαριαν ινα παραμυθησωνται αυτας περι του αδελφου αυτων.

20Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

η ουν μαρθα ως ηκουσεν οτι ο ιησους ερχεται, υπηντησεν αυτω· μαρια δε εν τω οικω εκαθεζετο.

21Now Martha said to Jesus, 'Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

ειπεν ουν [η] μαρθα προς τον ιησουν· κυριε, ει ης ωδε, ο αδελφος μου ουκ αν ετεθνηκει.

22But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.'

αλλα και νυν οιδα οτι οσα αν αιτηση τον θεον, δωσει σοι ο θεος.

23Jesus said to her, 'Your brother will rise again.'

λεγει αυτη ο ιησους· αναστησεται ο αδελφος σου.

24Martha said to Him, 'I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.'

λεγει αυτω μαρθα· οιδα οτι αναστησεται εν τη αναστασει εν τη εσχατη ημερα.

25Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

ειπεν αυτη ο ιησους· εγω ειμι η αναστασις και η ζωη. ο πιστευων εις εμε, καν αποθανη, ζησεται·

26And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?'

και πας ο ζων και πιστευων εις εμε ου μη αποθανη εις τον αιωνα. πιστευεις τουτο;

27She said to Him, 'Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.'

λεγει αυτω· ναι, κυριε, εγω πεπιστευκα οτι συ ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου ο εις τον κοσμον ερχομενος.

28And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, 'The Teacher has come and is calling for you.'

και ταυτα ειπουσα απηλθεν και εφωνησεν μαριαν την αδελφην αυτης λαθρα ειπουσα· ο διδασκαλος παρεστιν και φωνει σε.

29As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him.

εκεινη ως ηκουσεν, εγειρεται ταχυ και ερχεται προς αυτον.

30Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him.

ουπω δε εληλυθει ο ιησους εις την κωμην, αλλ ην εν τω τοπω οπου υπηντησεν αυτω η μαρθα.

31Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, 'She is going to the tomb to weep there.'

οι ουν ιουδαιοι οι οντες μετ αυτης εν τη οικια και παραμυθουμενοι αυτην, ιδοντες την μαριαν οτι ταχεως ανεστη και εξηλθεν, ηκολουθησαν αυτη, λεγοντες οτι υπαγει εις το μνημειον ινα κλαυση εκει.

32Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, 'Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.'

η ουν μαρια ως ηλθεν οπου ην ο ιησους, ιδουσα αυτον επεσεν αυτου εις τους ποδας λεγουσα αυτω· κυριε, ει ης ωδε, ουκ αν απεθανεν μου ο αδελφος.

33Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.

ιησους ουν ως ειδεν αυτην κλαιουσαν και τους συνελθοντας αυτη ιουδαιους κλαιοντας, ενεβριμησατο τω πνευματι και εταραξεν εαυτον,

34And He said, 'Where have you laid him?'

και ειπεν· που τεθεικατε αυτον; λεγουσιν αυτω· κυριε, ερχου και ιδε.

35They said to Him, 'Lord, come and see.' Jesus wept.

εδακρυσεν ο ιησους.

36Then the Jews said, 'See how He loved him!'

ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι· ιδε πως εφιλει αυτον·

37And some of them said, 'Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?'

τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον· ουκ ηδυνατο ουτος, ο ανοιξας τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου, ποιησαι ινα και ουτος μη αποθανη;

38Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

ιησους ουν, παλιν εμβριμωμενος εν εαυτω, ερχεται εις το μνημειον· ην δε σπηλαιον, και λιθος επεκειτο επ αυτω.

39Jesus said, 'Take away the stone.'

λεγει ο ιησους· αρατε τον λιθον. λεγει αυτω η αδελφη του τεθνηκοτος μαρθα· κυριε, ηδη οζει· τεταρταιος γαρ εστιν.

40Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, 'Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.' Jesus said to her, 'Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?'

λεγει αυτη ο ιησους· ουκ ειπον σοι οτι εαν πιστευσης, οψει την δοξαν του θεου;

41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, 'Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

ηραν ουν τον λιθον ου ην ο τεθνηκως κειμενος. ο δε ιησους ηρεν τους οφθαλμους ανω και ειπεν· πατερ, ευχαριστω σοι οτι ηκουσας μου.

42And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.'

εγω δε ηδειν οτι παντοτε μου ακουεις· αλλα δια τον οχλον τον περιεστωτα ειπον, ινα πιστευσωσιν οτι συ με απεστειλας.

43Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!'

και ταυτα ειπων φωνη μεγαλη εκραυγασεν· λαζαρε, δευρο εξω.

44And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and let him go.'

και εξηλθεν ο τεθνηκως δεδεμενος τους ποδας και τας χειρας κειριαις, και η οψις αυτου σουδαριω περιεδεδετο. λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους· λυσατε αυτον και αφετε υπαγειν.

45Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.

πολλοι ουν εκ των ιουδαιων, οι ελθοντες προς την μαριαν και θεασαμενοι α εποιησεν ο ιησους, επιστευσαν εις αυτον.

46But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.

τινες δε εξ αυτων απηλθον προς τους φαρισαιους και ειπον αυτοις α εποιησεν ο ιησους.

47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, 'What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.

συνηγαγον ουν οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι συνεδριον και ελεγον· τι ποιουμεν, οτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος πολλα σημεια ποιει;

48If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.'

εαν αφωμεν αυτον ουτως, παντες πιστευσουσιν εις αυτον, και ελευσονται οι ρωμαιοι και αρουσιν ημων και τον τοπον και το εθνος.

49And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, 'You know nothing at all,

εις δε τις εξ αυτων καιαφας, αρχιερευς ων του ενιαυτου εκεινου, ειπεν αυτοις· υμεις ουκ οιδατε ουδεν,

50nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.'

ουδε διαλογιζεσθε οτι συμφερει ημιν ινα εις ανθρωπος αποθανη υπερ του λαου και μη ολον το εθνος αποληται.

51Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

τουτο δε αφ εαυτου ουκ ειπεν, αλλα αρχιερευς ων του ενιαυτου εκεινου προεφητευσεν οτι εμελλεν ο ιησους αποθνησκειν υπερ του εθνους,

52and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

και ουχ υπερ του εθνους μονον, αλλ ινα και τα τεκνα του θεου τα διεσκορπισμενα συναγαγη εις εν.

53Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death.

απ εκεινης ουν της ημερας συνεβουλευσαντο ινα αποκτεινωσιν αυτον.

54Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.

ιησους ουν ουκετι παρρησια περιεπατει εν τοις ιουδαιοις, αλλα απηλθεν εκειθεν εις την χωραν εγγυς της ερημου, εις εφραιμ λεγομενην πολιν, κακει διετριβεν μετα των μαθητων αυτου.

55And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

ην δε εγγυς το πασχα των ιουδαιων, και ανεβησαν πολλοι εις ιεροσολυμα εκ της χωρας προ του πασχα ινα αγνισωσιν εαυτους.

56Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, 'What do you think—that He will not come to the feast?'

εζητουν ουν τον ιησουν και ελεγον μετ αλληλων εν τω ιερω εστηκοτες· τι δοκει υμιν, οτι ου μη ελθη εις την εορτην;

57Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.

δεδωκεισαν δε και οι αρχιερεις και οι φαρισαιοι εντολην ινα εαν τις γνω που εστιν, μηνυση, οπως πιασωσιν αυτον.
