Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

(Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.)
3 aparanjca hE prabhO bhavAn yasmin prIyatE sa Eva pIPitOstIti kathAM kathayitvA tasya bhaginyau prESitavatyau|
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, behold, the one yoʋ love is sick.”

But when Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 yIzu ryadyapimarthAyAM tadbhaginyAm iliyAsari cAprIyata,
Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6 tathApi iliyAsaraH pIPAyAH kathaM zrutvA yatra AsIt tatraiva dinadvayamatiSThat|
But when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
7 tataH param sa ziSyAnakathayad vayaM puna ryihUdIyapradEzaM yAmaH|
After that he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 tatastE pratyavadan, hE gurO svalpadinAni gatAni yihUdIyAstvAM pASANai rhantum udyatAstathApi kiM punastatra yAsyasi?
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just recently seeking to stone yoʋ, and yet you are going there again?”
9 yIzuH pratyavadat, Ekasmin dinE kiM dvAdazaghaTikA na bhavanti? kOpi divA gacchan na skhalati yataH sa EtajjagatO dIptiM prApnOti|
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 kintu rAtrau gacchan skhalati yatO hEtOstatra dIpti rnAsti|
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 imAM kathAM kathayitvA sa tAnavadad, asmAkaM bandhuH iliyAsar nidritObhUd idAnIM taM nidrAtO jAgarayituM gacchAmi|
After saying this, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 yIzu rmRtau kathAmimAM kathitavAn kintu vizrAmArthaM nidrAyAM kathitavAn iti jnjAtvA ziSyA akathayan,
His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 hE gurO sa yadi nidrAti tarhi bhadramEva|
(They thought Jesus was speaking about natural sleep, but he was actually speaking about Lazarus' death.)
14 tadA yIzuH spaSTaM tAn vyAharat, iliyAsar amriyata;
Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
15 kintu yUyaM yathA pratItha tadarthamahaM tatra na sthitavAn ityasmAd yuSmannimittam AhlAditOhaM, tathApi tasya samIpE yAma|
and I rejoice for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 tadA thOmA yaM didumaM vadanti sa sagginaH ziSyAn avadad vayamapi gatvA tEna sArddhaM mriyAmahai|
Then Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
17 yIzustatrOpasthAya iliyAsaraH zmazAnE sthApanAt catvAri dinAni gatAnIti vArttAM zrutavAn|
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already.
18 vaithanIyA yirUzAlamaH samIpasthA krOzaikamAtrAntaritA;
Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19 tasmAd bahavO yihUdIyA marthAM mariyamanjca bhyAtRzOkApannAM sAntvayituM tayOH samIpam Agacchan|
and many of the Jews had joined the women who were with Martha and Mary, to console them about their brother.
20 marthA yIzOrAgamanavArtAM zrutvaiva taM sAkSAd akarOt kintu mariyam gEha upavizya sthitA|
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house.
21 tadA marthA yIzumavAdat, hE prabhO yadi bhavAn atrAsthAsyat tarhi mama bhrAtA nAmariSyat|
Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if yoʋ had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 kintvidAnImapi yad IzvarE prArthayiSyatE Izvarastad dAsyatIti jAnE'haM|
But even now I know that God will give yoʋ whatever yoʋ ask of him.”
23 yIzuravAdIt tava bhrAtA samutthAsyati|
Jesus said to her, “Yoʋr brother will rise again.”
24 marthA vyAharat zESadivasE sa utthAnasamayE prOtthAsyatIti jAnE'haM|
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 tadA yIzuH kathitavAn ahamEva utthApayitA jIvayitA ca yaH kazcana mayi vizvasiti sa mRtvApi jIviSyati;
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, yet shall he live.
26 yaH kazcana ca jIvan mayi vizvasiti sa kadApi na mariSyati, asyAM kathAyAM kiM vizvasiSi? (aiōn g165)
No one who lives and believes in me will ever die. Do yoʋ believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 sAvadat prabhO yasyAvataraNApEkSAsti bhavAn saEvAbhiSiktta Izvaraputra iti vizvasimi|
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
28 iti kathAM kathayitvA sA gatvA svAM bhaginIM mariyamaM guptamAhUya vyAharat gururupatiSThati tvAmAhUyati ca|
After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for yoʋ.”
29 kathAmimAM zrutvA sA tUrNam utthAya tasya samIpam agacchat|
When Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to him.
30 yIzu rgrAmamadhyaM na pravizya yatra marthA taM sAkSAd akarOt tatra sthitavAn|
(Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha had met him.)
31 yE yihUdIyA mariyamA sAkaM gRhE tiSThantastAm asAntvayana tE tAM kSipram utthAya gacchantiM vilOkya vyAharan, sa zmazAnE rOdituM yAti, ityuktvA tE tasyAH pazcAd agacchan|
When the Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw her rise quickly and go out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 yatra yIzuratiSThat tatra mariyam upasthAya taM dRSTvA tasya caraNayOH patitvA vyAharat hE prabhO yadi bhavAn atrAsthAsyat tarhi mama bhrAtA nAmariSyat|
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if yoʋ had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 yIzustAM tasyAH sagginO yihUdIyAMzca rudatO vilOkya zOkArttaH san dIrghaM nizvasya kathitavAn taM kutrAsthApayata?
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and troubled.
34 tE vyAharan, hE prabhO bhavAn Agatya pazyatu|
He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 yIzunA kranditaM|
Jesus wept.
36 ataEva yihUdIyA avadan, pazyatAyaM tasmin kidRg apriyata|
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 tESAM kEcid avadan yOndhAya cakSuSI dattavAn sa kim asya mRtyuM nivArayituM nAzaknOt?
But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have also kept this man from dying?”
38 tatO yIzuH punarantardIrghaM nizvasya zmazAnAntikam agacchat| tat zmazAnam EkaM gahvaraM tanmukhE pASANa Eka AsIt|
Deeply moved once more, Jesus came to the tomb. (It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.)
39 tadA yIzuravadad EnaM pASANam apasArayata, tataH pramItasya bhaginI marthAvadat prabhO, adhunA tatra durgandhO jAtaH, yatOdya catvAri dinAni zmazAnE sa tiSThati|
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the man who had died, said to him, “Lord, there is already a stench, for it is the fourth day.”
40 tadA yIzuravAdIt, yadi vizvasiSi tarhIzvarasya mahimaprakAzaM drakSyasi kathAmimAM kiM tubhyaM nAkathayaM?
Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell yoʋ that if yoʋ believed yoʋ would see the glory of God?”
41 tadA mRtasya zmazAnAt pASANO'pasAritE yIzurUrdvvaM pazyan akathayat, hE pita rmama nEvEsanam azRNOH kAraNAdasmAt tvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
So they took away the stone from where the dead man was lying. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank yoʋ that yoʋ have heard me.
42 tvaM satataM zRNOSi tadapyahaM jAnAmi, kintu tvaM mAM yat prairayastad yathAsmin sthAnE sthitA lOkA vizvasanti tadartham idaM vAkyaM vadAmi|
I know that yoʋ always hear me, but I say this for the benefit of the crowd that is standing here, so that they may believe that yoʋ sent me.”
43 imAM kathAM kathayitvA sa prOccairAhvayat, hE iliyAsar bahirAgaccha|
After saying this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 tataH sa pramItaH zmazAnavastrai rbaddhahastapAdO gAtramArjanavAsasA baddhamukhazca bahirAgacchat| yIzuruditavAn bandhanAni mOcayitvA tyajatainaM|
Then the man who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
45 mariyamaH samIpam AgatA yE yihUdIyalOkAstadA yIzOrEtat karmmApazyan tESAM bahavO vyazvasan,
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 kintu kEcidanyE phirUzinAM samIpaM gatvA yIzOrEtasya karmmaNO vArttAm avadan|
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 tataH paraM pradhAnayAjakAH phirUzinAzca sabhAM kRtvA vyAharan vayaM kiM kurmmaH? ESa mAnavO bahUnyAzcaryyakarmmANi karOti|
So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a meeting of the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? For this man is doing many signs.
48 yadIdRzaM karmma karttuM na vArayAmastarhi sarvvE lOkAstasmin vizvasiSyanti rOmilOkAzcAgatyAsmAkam anayA rAjadhAnyA sArddhaM rAjyam AchEtsyanti|
If we allow him to continue like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our holy place and our nation.”
49 tadA tESAM kiyaphAnAmA yastasmin vatsarE mahAyAjakapadE nyayujyata sa pratyavadad yUyaM kimapi na jAnItha;
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You do not know anything,
50 samagradEzasya vinAzatOpi sarvvalOkArtham Ekasya janasya maraNam asmAkaM maggalahEtukam Etasya vivEcanAmapi na kurutha|
nor do you consider that it is better for us to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation perish.”
51 EtAM kathAM sa nijabuddhyA vyAharad iti na,
(He said this not of his own accord, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 kintu yIzUstaddEzIyAnAM kAraNAt prANAn tyakSyati, dizi dizi vikIrNAn Izvarasya santAnAn saMgRhyaikajAtiM kariSyati ca, tasmin vatsarE kiyaphA mahAyAjakatvapadE niyuktaH san idaM bhaviSyadvAkyaM kathitavAn|
and not only for the nation, but also to gather together and unite the children of God scattered abroad.)
53 taddinamArabhya tE kathaM taM hantuM zaknuvantIti mantraNAM karttuM prArEbhirE|
So from that day they plotted together to kill him.
54 ataEva yihUdIyAnAM madhyE yIzuH saprakAzaM gamanAgamanE akRtvA tasmAd gatvA prAntarasya samIpasthAyipradEzasyEphrAyim nAmni nagarE ziSyaiH sAkaM kAlaM yApayituM prArEbhE|
Therefore Jesus no longer went around openly among the Jews. Instead, he departed from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he spent time with his disciples.
55 anantaraM yihUdIyAnAM nistArOtsavE nikaTavarttini sati tadutsavAt pUrvvaM svAn zucIn karttuM bahavO janA grAmEbhyO yirUzAlam nagaram Agacchan,
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the countryside to purify themselves before the Passover.
56 yIzOranvESaNaM kRtvA mandirE daNPAyamAnAH santaH parasparaM vyAharan, yuSmAkaM kIdRzO bOdhO jAyatE? sa kim utsavE'smin atrAgamiSyati?
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?”
57 sa ca kutrAsti yadyEtat kazcid vEtti tarhi darzayatu pradhAnayAjakAH phirUzinazca taM dharttuM pUrvvam imAm AjnjAM prAcArayan|
(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it, so that they could arrest him.)
