John 11
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —
And ther was a sijk man, Lazarus of Bethanye, of the castel of Marie and Martha, hise sistris.
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 —
And it was Marye, which anoyntide the Lord with oynement, and wipte hise feet with hir heeris, whos brother Lazarus was sijk.
3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
Therfor hise sistris senten to hym, and seide, Lord, lo! he whom thou louest, is sijk.
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.'
And Jhesus herde, and seide to hem, This syknesse is not to the deth, but for the glorie of God, that mannus sone be glorified bi hym.
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
And Jhesus louyde Martha, and hir sistir Marie, and Lazarus.
6 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
Therfor whanne Jhesus herde, that he was sijk, thanne he dwellide in the same place twei daies.
7 then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
And after these thingis he seide to hise disciplis, Go we eft in to Judee.
8 the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
The disciplis seien to hym, Maister, now the Jewis souyten for to stoone thee, and eft goist thou thidir?
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;
Jhesus answerde, Whether ther ben not twelue ouris of the dai? If ony man wandre in the dai, he hirtith not, for he seeth the liyt of this world.
10 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
But if he wandre in the niyt, he stomblith, for liyt is not in him.
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;'
He seith these thingis, and aftir these thingis he seith to hem, Lazarus, oure freend, slepith, but Y go to reise hym fro sleep.
12 therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
Therfor hise disciplis seiden, Lord, if he slepith, he schal be saaf.
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
But Jhesus hadde seid of his deth; but thei gessiden, that he seide of slepyng of sleep.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;
Thanne therfor Jhesus seide to hem opynli, Lazarus is deed;
15 and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe, ) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
and Y haue ioye for you, that ye bileue, for Y was not there; but go we to hym.
16 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,'
Therfor Thomas, that is seid Didymus, seide to euen disciplis, Go we also, that we dien with hym.
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
And so Jhesus cam, and foond hym hauynge thanne foure daies in the graue.
18 And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
And Bethany was bisidis Jerusalem, as it were fiftene furlongis.
19 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
And many of the Jewis camen to Mary and Martha, to coumforte hem of her brothir.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
Therfor as Martha herde, that Jhesu cam, sche ran to hym; but Mary sat at home.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
Therfor Martha seide to Jhesu, Lord, if thou haddist be here, my brother hadde not be deed.
22 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
But now Y woot, that what euere thingis thou schalt axe of God, God schal yyue to thee.
23 Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
Jhesus seith to hir, Thi brother schal rise ayen.
24 Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
Martha seith to hym, Y woot, that he schal rise ayen in the ayen risyng in the laste dai.
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;
Jhesus seith to hir, Y am ayen risyng and lijf; he that bileueth in me, yhe, thouy he be deed, he schal lyue;
and ech that lyueth, and bileueth in me, schal not die with outen ende. Bileuest thou this thing? (aiōn g165)
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.'
Sche seith to hym, Yhe, Lord, Y haue bileued, that thou art Crist, the sone of the lyuynge God, that hast come in to this world.
28 And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
And whanne sche hadde seid this thing, sche wente, and clepide Marie, hir sistir, in silence, and seide, The maister cometh, and clepith thee.
29 she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
Sche, as sche herd, aroos anoon, and cam to hym.
30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
And Jhesus cam not yit `in to the castel, but he was yit in that place, where Martha hadde comun ayens hym.
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.'
Therfor the Jewis that weren with hir in the hous, and coumfortiden hir, whanne thei sayn Marie, that sche roos swithe, and wente out, thei sueden hir, and seiden, For sche goith to the graue, to wepe there.
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;'
But whanne Marie was comun where Jhesus was, sche seynge hym felde doun to his feet, and seide to hym, Lord, if thou haddist be here, my brother hadde not be deed.
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,
And therfor whanne Jhesu saiy hir wepyng, and the Jewis wepynge that weren with hir, he `made noise in spirit, and troblide hym silf,
34 'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'
and seide, Where han ye leid hym? Thei seien to hym, Lord, come, and se.
35 Jesus wept.
And Jhesus wepte. Therfor the Jewis seiden,
36 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'
Lo! hou he louede hym.
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?'
And summe of hem seiden, Whethir this man that openyde the iyen of the borun blynde man, myyte not make that this schulde not die?
38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
Therfor Jhesus eft makynge noise in hym silf, cam to the graue. And there was a denne, and a stoon was leid theronne.
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;'
And Jhesus seith, Take ye awey the stoon. Martha, the sistir of hym that was deed, seith to hym, Lord, he stynkith now, for he hath leye foure daies.
40 Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'
Jhesus seith to hir, Haue Y not seid to thee, that if thou bileuest, thou schalt se the glorie 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;
Therfor thei token awei the stoon. And Jhesus lifte vp hise iyen, and seide, Fadir, Y do thankyngis to thee, for thou hast herd me; and Y wiste,
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.'
that thou euermore herist me, but for the puple that stondith aboute, Y seide, that thei bileue, that thou hast sent me.
43 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'
Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he criede with a greet vois, Lazarus, come thou 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.'
And anoon he that was deed, cam out, boundun the hondis and feet with boondis, and his face boundun with a sudarie. And Jhesus seith to hem, Vnbynde ye hym, and suffre ye hym to go forth.
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
Therfor many of the Jewis that camen to Marie and Martha, and seyn what thingis Jhesus dide, bileueden in hym.
46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
But summe of hem wente to the Farisees, and seiden to hem, what thingis Jhesus `hadde don.
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
Therfor the bischopis and the Farisees gadriden a counsel ayens Jhesu, and seiden, What do we? for this man doith many myraclis.
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.'
If we leeue hym thus, alle men schulen bileue in hym; and Romayns schulen come, and schulen take our place and oure folk.
49 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,
But oon of hem, Cayfas bi name, whanne he was bischop of that yeer, seide to hem,
50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
Ye witen nothing, ne thenken, that it spedith to you, that o man die for the puple, and that al the folc perische not.
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,
But he seide not this thing of hym silf, but whanne he was bischop of that yeer, he prophesiede, that Jhesu was to die for the folc,
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.
and not oneli for the folc, but that he schulde gadere in to oon the sones of God that weren scaterid.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
Therfor fro that day thei souyten for to sle hym.
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.
Therfor Jhesus walkide not thanne opynli among the Jewis; but he wente in to a cuntre bisidis desert, in to a citee, that is seid Effren, and there he dwellide with hise disciplis.
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;
And the pask of the Jewis was niy, and many of the cuntrey wenten vp to Jerusalem bifor the pask, to halewe hem silf.
56 they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?'
Therfor thei souyten Jhesu, and spaken togidere, stondynge in the temple, What gessen ye, for he cometh not to the feeste day?
57 and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.
For the bischopis and Farisees hadden youun a maundement, that if ony man knowe where he is, that he schewe, that thei take hym.
