11:1  erat autem quidam languens             1.  Now a certain man was sick, named
Lazarus a Bethania de castello Mariae        Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary
et Marthae sororis eius                      and her sister Martha.

11:2  Maria autem erat quae unxit            2.  (It was that Mary which anointed
Dominum unguento et extersit pedes eius      the Lord with ointment, and wiped his
capillis suis cuius frater Lazarus           feet with her hair, whose brother
infirmabatur                                 Lazarus was sick.)

11:3  miserunt ergo sorores ad eum           3.  Therefore his sisters sent unto
dicentes Domine ecce quem amas               him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou
infirmatur                                   lovest is sick.

11:4  audiens autem Iesus dixit eis          4.  When Jesus heard that, he said,
infirmitas haec non est ad mortem sed        This sickness is not unto death, but
pro gloria Dei ut glorificetur Filius        for the glory of God, that the Son of
Dei per eam                                  God might be glorified thereby.

11:5  diligebat autem Iesus Martham et       5.  Now Jesus loved Martha, and her
sororem eius Mariam et Lazarum               sister, and Lazarus.

11:6  ut ergo audivit quia infirmabatur      6.  When he had heard therefore that he
tunc quidem mansit in eodem loco duobus      was sick, he abode two days still in
diebus                                       the same place where he was.

11:7  deinde post haec dicit discipulis      7.  Then after that saith he to his
suis eamus in Iudaeam iterum                 disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

11:8  dicunt ei discipuli rabbi nunc         8.  His disciples say unto him, Master,
quaerebant te Iudaei lapidare et iterum      the Jews of late sought to stone thee;
vadis illuc                                  and goest thou thither again?

11:9  respondit Iesus nonne duodecim         9.  Jesus answered, Are there not
horae sunt diei si quis ambulaverit in       twelve hours in the day? If any man
die non offendit quia lucem huius mundi      walk in the day, he stumbleth not,
videt                                        because he seeth the light of this
                                             world.

11:10  si autem ambulaverit nocte            10.  But if a man walk in the night, he
offendit quia lux non est in eo              stumbleth, because there is no light in
                                             him.

11:11  haec ait et post hoc dicit eis        11.  These things said he: and after
Lazarus amicus noster dormit sed vado        that he saith unto them, Our friend
ut a somno exsuscitem eum                    Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may
                                             awake him out of sleep.

11:12  dixerunt ergo discipuli eius          12.  Then said his disciples, Lord, if
Domine si dormit salvus erit                 he sleep, he shall do well.

11:13  dixerat autem Iesus de morte          13.  Howbeit Jesus spake of his death:
eius illi autem putaverunt quia de           but they thought that he had spoken of
dormitione somni diceret                     taking of rest in sleep.

11:14  tunc ergo dixit eis Iesus             14.  Then said Jesus unto them plainly,
manifeste Lazarus mortuus est                Lazarus is dead.

11:15  et gaudeo propter vos ut              15.  And I am glad for your sakes that
credatis quoniam non eram ibi sed eamus      I was not there, to the intent ye may
ad eum                                       believe; nevertheless let us go unto
                                             him.

11:16  dixit ergo Thomas qui dicitur         16.  Then said Thomas, which is called
Didymus ad condiscipulos eamus et nos        Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let
ut moriamur cum eo                           us also go, that we may die with him.

11:17  venit itaque Iesus et invenit         17.  Then when Jesus came, he found
eum quattuor dies iam in monumento           that he had lain in the grave four days
habentem                                     already.

11:18  erat autem Bethania iuxta             18.  Now Bethany was nigh unto
Hierosolyma quasi stadiis quindecim          Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

11:19  multi autem ex Iudaeis venerant       19.  And many of the Jews came to
ad Martham et Mariam ut consolarentur        Martha and Mary, to comfort them
eas de fratre suo                            concerning their brother.

11:20  Martha ergo ut audivit quia           20.  Then Martha, as soon as she heard
Iesus venit occurrit illi Maria autem        that Jesus was coming, went and met
domi sedebat                                 him: but Mary sat still in the house.

11:21  dixit ergo Martha ad Iesum            21.  Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord,
Domine si fuisses hic frater meus non        if thou hadst been here, my brother had
fuisset mortuus                              not died.

11:22  sed et nunc scio quia quaecumque      22.  But I know, that even now,
poposceris a Deo dabit tibi Deus             whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God
                                             will give it thee.

11:23  dicit illi Iesus resurget frater      23.  Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother
tuus                                         shall rise again.

11:24  dicit ei Martha scio quia             24.  Martha saith unto him, I know that
resurget in resurrectione in novissima       he shall rise again in the resurrection
die                                          at the last day.

11:25  dixit ei Iesus ego sum                25.  Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrectio et vita qui credit in me et      resurrection, and the life: he that
si mortuus fuerit vivet                      believeth in me, though he were dead,
                                             yet shall he live:

11:26  et omnis qui vivit et credit in       26.  And whosoever liveth and believeth
me non morietur in aeternum credis hoc       in me shall never die. Believest thou
                                             this?

11:27  ait illi utique Domine ego            27.  She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I
credidi quia tu es Christus Filius Dei       believe that thou art the Christ, the
qui in mundum venisti                        Son of God, which should come into the
                                             world.

11:28  et cum haec dixisset abiit et         28.  And when she had so said, she went
vocavit Mariam sororem suam silentio         her way, and called Mary her sister
dicens magister adest et vocat te            secretly, saying, The Master is come,
                                             and calleth for thee.

11:29  illa ut audivit surgit cito et        29.  As soon as she heard that, she
venit ad eum                                 arose quickly, and came unto him.

11:30  nondum enim venerat Iesus in          30.  Now Jesus was not yet come into
castellum sed erat adhuc in illo loco        the town, but was in that place where
ubi occurrerat ei Martha                     Martha met him.

11:31  Iudaei igitur qui erant cum ea        31.  The Jews then which were with her
in domo et consolabantur eam cum             in the house, and comforted her, when
vidissent Mariam quia cito surrexit et       they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily
exiit secuti sunt eam dicentes quia          and went out, followed her, saying, She
vadit ad monumentum ut ploret ibi            goeth unto the grave to weep there.

11:32  Maria ergo cum venisset ubi erat      32.  Then when Mary was come where
Iesus videns eum cecidit ad pedes eius       Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down
et dixit ei Domine si fuisses hic non        at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if
esset mortuus frater meus                    thou hadst been here, my brother had
                                             not died.

11:33  Iesus ergo ut vidit eam               33.  When Jesus therefore saw her
plorantem et Iudaeos qui venerant cum        weeping, and the Jews also weeping
ea plorantes fremuit spiritu et              which came with her, he groaned in the
turbavit se ipsum                            spirit, and was troubled.

11:34  et dixit ubi posuistis eum            34.  And said, Where have ye laid him?
dicunt ei Domine veni et vide                They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

11:35  et lacrimatus est Iesus               35.  Jesus wept.

11:36  dixerunt ergo Iudaei ecce             36.  Then said the Jews, Behold how he
quomodo amabat eum                           loved him!

11:37  quidam autem dixerunt ex ipsis        37.  And some of them said, Could not
non poterat hic qui aperuit oculos           this man, which opened the eyes of the
caeci facere ut et hic non moreretur         blind, have caused that even this man
                                             should not have died?

11:38  Iesus ergo rursum fremens in          38.  Jesus therefore again groaning in
semet ipso venit ad monumentum erat          himself cometh to the grave. It was a
autem spelunca et lapis superpositus         cave, and a stone lay upon it.
erat ei

11:39  ait Iesus tollite lapidem dicit       39.  Jesus said, Take ye away the
ei Martha soror eius qui mortuus fuerat      stone. Martha, the sister of him that
Domine iam fetet quadriduanus enim est       was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this
                                             time he stinketh: for he hath been dead
                                             four days.

11:40  dicit ei Iesus nonne dixi tibi        40.  Jesus saith unto her, Said I not
quoniam si credideris videbis gloriam        unto thee, that, if thou wouldest
Dei                                          believe, thou shouldest see the glory
                                             of God?

11:41  tulerunt ergo lapidem Iesus           41.  Then they took away the stone from
autem elevatis sursum oculis dixit           the place where the dead was laid. And
Pater gratias ago tibi quoniam audisti       Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said,
me                                           Father, I thank thee that thou hast
                                             heard me.

11:42  ego autem sciebam quia semper me      42.  And I knew that thou hearest me
audis sed propter populum qui                always: but because of the people which
circumstat dixi ut credant quia tu me        stand by I said it, that they may
misisti                                      believe that thou hast sent me.

11:43  haec cum dixisset voce magna          43.  And when he thus had spoken, he
clamavit Lazare veni foras                   cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come
                                             forth.

11:44  et statim prodiit qui fuerat          44.  And he that was dead came forth,
mortuus ligatus pedes et manus institis      bound hand and foot with graveclothes:
et facies illius sudario erat ligata         and his face was bound about with a
dicit Iesus eis solvite eum et sinite        napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose
abire                                        him, and let him go.

11:45  multi ergo ex Iudaeis qui             45.  Then many of the Jews which came
venerant ad Mariam et viderant quae          to Mary, and had seen the things which
fecit crediderunt in eum                     Jesus did, believed on him.

11:46  quidam autem ex ipsis abierunt        46.  But some of them went their ways
ad Pharisaeos et dixerunt eis quae           to the Pharisees, and told them what
fecit Iesus                                  things Jesus had done.

11:47  collegerunt ergo pontifices et        47.  Then gathered the chief priests
Pharisaei concilium et dicebant quid         and the Pharisees a council, and said,
facimus quia hic homo multa signa facit      What do we? for this man doeth many
                                             miracles.

11:48  si dimittimus eum sic omnes           48.  If we let him thus alone, all men
credent in eum et venient Romani et          will believe on him: and the Romans
tollent nostrum et locum et gentem           shall come and take away both our place
                                             and nation.

11:49  unus autem ex ipsis Caiaphas cum      49.  And one of them, named Caiaphas,
esset pontifex anni illius dixit eis         being the high priest that same year,
vos nescitis quicquam                        said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

11:50  nec cogitatis quia expedit nobis      50.  Nor consider that it is expedient
ut unus moriatur homo pro populo et non      for us, that one man should die for the
tota gens pereat                             people, and that the whole nation
                                             perish not.

11:51  hoc autem a semet ipso non dixit      51.  And this spake he not of himself:
sed cum esset pontifex anni illius           but being high priest that year, he
prophetavit quia Iesus moriturus erat        prophesied that Jesus should die for
pro gente                                    that nation;

11:52  et non tantum pro gente sed et        52.  And not for that nation only, but
ut filios Dei qui erant dispersi             that also he should gather together in
congregaret in unum                          one the children of God that were
                                             scattered abroad.

11:53  ab illo ergo die cogitaverunt ut      53.  Then from that day forth they took
interficerent eum                            counsel together for to put him to
                                             death.

11:54  Iesus ergo iam non in palam           54.  Jesus therefore walked no more
ambulabat apud Iudaeos sed abiit in          openly among the Jews; but went thence
regionem iuxta desertum in civitatem         unto a country near to the wilderness,
quae dicitur Efrem et ibi morabatur cum      into a city called Ephraim, and there
discipulis                                   continued with his disciples.

11:55  proximum autem erat pascha            55.  And the Jews' passover was nigh at
Iudaeorum et ascenderunt multi               hand: and many went out of the country
Hierosolyma de regione ante pascha ut        up to Jerusalem before the passover, to
sanctificarent se ipsos                      purify themselves.

11:56  quaerebant ergo Iesum et              56.  Then sought they for Jesus, and
conloquebantur ad invicem in templo          spake among themselves, as they stood
stantes quid putatis quia non veniat ad      in the temple, What think ye, that he
diem festum                                  will not come to the feast?

11:57  dederant autem pontifices et          57.  Now both the chief priests and the
Pharisaei mandatum ut si quis                Pharisees had given a commandment,
cognoverit ubi sit indicet ut                that, if any man knew where he were, he
adprehendant eum                             should shew it, that they might take
                                             him.
