And there was a certain sick one,
Lazarus from Bethany,
of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
And it was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment
and wiped His feet with her hair,
whose brother Lazarus was sick.
Then the sisters sent to Him, saying,
Lord, behold, the one whom You love is sick.
And hearing, Jesus said,
This is not sickness to death,
but for the glory of God,
that the Son of God be glorified by it.
And Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Therefore, when He heard that he is sick,
then, indeed, He remained in the place where He was
two days.

Then after this He said to the disciples,
Let us go to Judea again.
The disciples said to Him,
Rabbi, just now the Jews were seeking to stone You,
and are You going there again?
Jesus 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.
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles
because the light is not in him.
He said these things.
And after this, He said to them,
Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep,
but I am going that I may awaken him.
Then His disciples said,
Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.
But Jesus had spoken about his death,
but they thought that He spoke of the resting of sleep.
Therefore, then Jesus said to them plainly,
Lazarus has died.
And I rejoice because of you,
in order that you may believe,
that I was not there.
But let us go to him.
Then Thomas, the one having been called Twin,
said to the fellow disciples,
Let us also go,
so that we may die with Him.

Therefore coming, Jesus found him
already having been in the tomb four days.
And Bethany was near Jerusalem,
about fifteen stadia from it.
And many of the Jews had come
to the ones around Martha and Mary,
that they might console them concerning their brother.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus is coming,
she went and met Him;
but Mary was sitting in the house.
Then Martha said to Jesus,
Lord, if You were here,
my brother would not have died.
But even now I know
that as many things as You may ask God,
God will give You.
Jesus said to her,
Your brother will rise again.
Martha said to Him,
I know that he will rise again
in the resurrection in the last day.
Jesus said to her,
I am the Resurrection and the Life.
The one believing into Me,
though he die, he shall live.
And everyone living and believing into Me
shall not die to the age, not ever!
Do you believe this?
She said to Him,
Yes, Lord, I have believed
that You are the Christ,
the Son of God who comes into the world.

And saying these things, she went away
and called her sister Mary secretly, saying,
The Teacher is here and calls you.
That one, when she heard,
rose up quickly and came to Him.
And Jesus had not yet come into the village,
but was in the place where Martha met Him.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house,
and consoling her,
seeing that Mary quickly rose up and went out,
they followed her, saying,
She is going to the tomb
so that she may weep there.
Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was,
seeing Him,
she fell at His feet, saying to Him,
Lord, if You were here,
my brother would not have died.

Therefore when He saw her weeping,
and the Jews who came down with her weeping,
Jesus groaned in the spirit
and troubled Himself.
And He said,
Where have you put him?
They said to Him,
Lord, come and see.

Jesus wept.
