John 11
1 At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ
2 (Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲧⲉϩⲥ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲥⲟϭⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϥⲉⲧ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϥⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲉ
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲡⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
4 When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ
6 So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,
ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
7 and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
ⲍ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ
8 “Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ϩⲓ ⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲛⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲣϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲉϥϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
10 But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
ⲓ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ϣⲁϥϫⲓ ϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
11 After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲁϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ
12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ
13 They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲙⲡⲱⲃϣ
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,

15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ
16 Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲣ ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
17 When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛⲁⲙⲛⲧⲏ ⲛⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲥⲗⲥⲱⲗⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲩⲥⲟⲛ
20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him; but Mary stayed at home.
ⲕ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲉⲓ
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
22 But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”

23 “Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛϥ
24 Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲁⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ

27 “Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
28 After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲥⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟ
29 And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

31 When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲓ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲗⲥⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ
32 When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲥⲛⲟϫⲥ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

34 “Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.

35 Jesus wept.

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

37 But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”

38 Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲥⲡⲏⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲓ ⲣⲱϥ
39 “Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲓ ⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏⲇⲏ ⲁϥⲣ ⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ
40 Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ
43 After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
44 The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲣⲉⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲇⲁⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲟⲗϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛϥⲃⲱⲕ
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.

48 If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ
50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

51 Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
52 and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.

53 So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.

54 As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.

56 They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”
