John 11
1 [One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲧⲉϩⲥ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϥⲉⲧⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϥⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲉ.
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
4 [They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓ̈ϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ.
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲙⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
ⲍ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ.
8 We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ.
9 [To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙⲛⲧⲥ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲣϣⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲉϥϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
ⲓ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ. ϣⲁϥϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
11 After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲁϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅.
12 So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅. ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ.
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥϫⲉⲡⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲃϣ.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ
15 But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s go to him.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ.
16 Then Thomas, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ
17 When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉ͡ⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ.
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲥⲗ̅ⲥⲱⲗⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲩⲥⲟⲛ.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
ⲕ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲏⲩ. ⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲉ͡ⲓ.
21 When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲕⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛϥ̅.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϩⲁⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ. ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉ͡ⲓ. ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ.
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉ͡ⲓ. ⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈. (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] into the world!”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
28 After she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥϫⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲥⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟ.
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅. ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
ⲗ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲧϥ̅ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲓ ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
31 The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry there.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲓ̈ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲥⲟⲗⲥⲗ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕʾ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
32 When Mary got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] brother would not have died!”
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲥⲛⲟϫⲥ̅ ϩⲁⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲁ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲣⲓⲙⲉ. ⲁϥϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧ
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲧⲱⲛ. ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲩ.
35 Jesus began to cry.
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥ̅ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
37 But some others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ⲃⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲟⲩ.
38 Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ. ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲥⲡⲏⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲣⲱϥ.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏⲇⲏ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲥⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ.
40 Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϥⲓⲡⲱⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϥⲓⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ⲱⲧ ϯϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲉ͡ⲓ.
42 I know that you always hear me [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
44 The man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲣⲉⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲇⲁⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲃⲟⲗϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛϥ̅ⲃⲱⲕ.
45 As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ϣⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲁⲩ.
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲩⲛϩⲉⲇⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲣ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ⲛ.
48 If we allow him to keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”

49 One of the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ.
50 You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲟⲅⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲥⲣ̅ⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
51 He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥϫⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
52 But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].

53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.

54 Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].

55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].

56 The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
