< John 11 >

1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲡϯⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ.
2 and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲥⲧⲉϩⲥ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲟϭⲛ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥϥⲉⲧⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϥⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲉ.
3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϫⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲕ̅ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
4 and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲓ̈ϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲓⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ.
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲛⲙⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ.
6 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲱⲛⲉ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
7 then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
ⲍ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ.
8 the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ.
9 Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲙⲛⲧⲥ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲣϣⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲉϥϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
10 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
ⲓ̅ⲉⲣϣⲁⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ. ϣⲁϥϫⲓϫⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲛ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
11 These things he said, and after this he saith to them, 'Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲁϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ̅.
12 therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϣϫⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅. ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ.
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ. ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥϫⲉⲡⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲃϣ.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ

16 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,'
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

18 And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲏⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ.
19 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲁⲩⲉ͡ⲓ ⲡⲉ ϣⲁⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲥⲗ̅ⲥⲱⲗⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲉⲩⲥⲟⲛ.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
ⲕ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲏⲩ. ⲁⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲉ͡ⲓ.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
22 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

23 Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛϥ̅.
24 Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

25 Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

27 believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
28 And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥϫⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲥⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲥⲁϩ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟ.
29 she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

31 the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep 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 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲥⲛⲟϫⲥ̅ ϩⲁⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲁ. ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

35 Jesus wept.
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'

37 and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲡⲧⲁⲫⲟⲥ. ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲥⲡⲏⲗⲁⲓⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲣⲱϥ.
39 Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ϥⲓⲡⲱⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲡⲉϫⲉⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲏⲇⲏ ⲁϥⲣ̅ⲥⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲡⲉϥϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ.
40 Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

41 They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

42 and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

43 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'

44 and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'

45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

48 if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'

49 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,

50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

51 And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

52 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

54 Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

55 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;
