< John 11 >

1 Now a certain man, named Lazarus, of Bethany, was lying ill-- Bethany being the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ
2 (It was the Mary who poured the perfume over the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.)
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲧⲉϩⲥ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲥⲟϭⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϥⲉⲧ ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϥⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲉ
3 So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲡⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
4 Jesus received the message and said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is to promote the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by 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 When, however, He heard that Lazarus was ill, He still remained two days in that same place.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
7 Then, after that, He said to the disciples, "Let us return to Judaea."
ⲍ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ
8 "Rabbi," exclaimed the disciples, "the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and do you think of going back there again?"
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ϩⲓ ⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ
9 "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" replied Jesus. "If any one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble--because he sees 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 a man walks by night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
ⲓ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ϣⲁϥϫⲓ ϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
11 He said this, and afterwards He added, "Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I will go and wake him."
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲁϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ
12 "Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought He referred to the rest taken in ordinary sleep.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲙⲡⲱⲃϣ
14 So then He told them plainly,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲓⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ
15 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him."
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ
16 "Let us go also," Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "that we may die with him."
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲣ ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ
17 On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ
18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less than two miles;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛⲁⲙⲛⲧⲏ ⲛⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ
19 and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲥⲗⲥⲱⲗⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲩⲥⲟⲛ
20 Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming," went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.
ⲕ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲉⲓ
21 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here," she said, "my brother would not have died.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
22 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

23 "Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛϥ
24 "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day."
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϩⲙ ⲡϩⲁⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ
25 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲡⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲁⲱⲛϩ
26 and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲧⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ (aiōn g165)
27 "Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly 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 saying this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, telling her, "The Rabbi 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 So she, on hearing that, rose up quickly to go to Him.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
ⲗ̅ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲓ ⲛⲉϥϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
31 So the Jews who were with Mary in the house sympathizing with her, when they saw that she had risen hastily and had gone out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep aloud 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 Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, 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 Seeing her weeping aloud, and the Jews in like manner weeping who had come with her, Jesus, curbing the strong emotion of His spirit,
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲁϥϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧ
34 though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.

35 Jesus wept.
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ
36 "See how dear he held him," said the Jews.

37 But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?"
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲃⲃⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲛⲉⲙⲙⲛ ϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲟⲩ
38 Jesus, however, again restraining His strong feeling, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone had been laid against the mouth of it.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲥⲡⲏⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲓ ⲣⲱϥ
39 "Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϥⲓ ⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏⲇⲏ ⲁϥⲣ ⲥⲧⲟⲓ ⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ
40 "Did I not promise you," replied Jesus, "that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?"
ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
41 So they removed the stone. Then Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲡⲱⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϥⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ϯϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ
42 I know that Thou always hearest me; but for the sake of the crowd standing round I have said this--that they may believe that Thou didst send me."
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲓϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ
43 After speaking thus, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."

44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped in cloths, and his face wrapped round with a towel. "Untie him," said Jesus, "and let him go free."
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲣⲉⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲇⲁⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲃⲟⲗϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲛϥⲃⲱⲕ
45 Thereupon a considerable number of the Jews--namely those who had come to Mary and had witnessed His deeds--became believers in Him;
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϣⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
46 though some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what He had done.

47 Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϭⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲥⲩⲛϩⲉⲇⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲣ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲛ
48 If we leave him alone in this way, everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and blot out both our city and our nation."

49 But one of them, named Caiaphas, being High Priest that year, said, "You know nothing about it.
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲓⲫⲁⲥ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ
50 You do not reflect that it is to your interest that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."

51 It was not as a mere man that he thus spoke. But being High Priest that year he was inspired to declare that Jesus was to die for the nation,
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
52 and not for the nation only, but in order to unite into one body all the far-scattered children of God.
ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲁ ⲡϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲟⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲟⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
53 So from that day forward they planned and schemed in order to put Him to death.

54 Therefore Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but He left that neighbourhood and went into the district near the Desert, to a town called Ephraim, and remained there with the disciples.
ⲛ̅ⲇ̅ⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲏⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲫⲣⲁⲓⲙ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
55 The Jewish Passover was coming near, and many from that district went up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
ⲛ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ϩⲁ ⲑⲏ ⲙⲡⲡⲁⲥⲭⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲧⲃⲃⲟⲟⲩ
56 They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"
ⲛ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲩⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲛⲇⲟϭⲓ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡϣⲁ
57 Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.
