1 And there was a certain man who was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary, and of Martha her sister. 2 And Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with myrrh, and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was sick. 3 And the sisters sent to say unto him, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 And when Jesus heard this, he said, "This sickness is not unto death, but to the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it." 5 And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 And when he heard that Lazarus was sick, then he remained two days in the place where he was. 7 Then, after this, he said to his disciples, "Let us go again into Judea." 8 And the disciples said unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just sought to stone thee, and thou art going there again? 9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" He who walks in the daytime does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 And he that walketh in the night stumbleeth, because there is no light in him: and he said these things, and said to them, Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep; but I am going to wake him up. 12 And the disciples said unto him, Lord, if he sleepeth, he shall be saved. 13 But Jesus spoke of his death, and they thought that he was speaking of a simple dream. 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead.' 15 And I rejoice for you, that I was not there, that ye might believe. But let's go to him. 16 Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to the other disciples, "Let us also go to die with him." 17 When Jesus arrived, he found that he had already been in the tomb for four days. 18 And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stades. 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them in their grief for their brother. 20 When Martha heard Jesus coming, she went out to meet Him; Mary was sitting in her house. 21 Then Martha said to Jesus, 'Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.' 22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. 23 Jesus said to her, 'Your brother will rise again.' 24 Martha said to him, 'I know that he will rise again in the resurrection, on the last day.' 25 Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, will live; 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Do you believe that? 27 She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed, and I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world." 28 And having said these things, she went and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, 'The Master is here and is calling you.' 29 And when she had heard, she got up in haste, and went to him. 30 Jesus had not yet entered the village, but he was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw Mary getting up in haste and going out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 And Mary, when she came to where Jesus was, when she saw him, fell at his feet and said to him, 'Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.' 35 And when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her, weeping, he was troubled in spirit, and was troubled, 34 and said, 'Where have you laid him?' They said to Him, "Lord, come and see." 35 Jesus shed tears. 36 And the Jews said at that time, 'This is how he loved him.' 37 And some of them said, 'Could not he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, cause this one also not to die?' E-38 Jesus, rebellious in Himself again, comes to the tomb: it was a cave, and a stone covered it. 39 Jesus said, "Take a stone." The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him: "Lord, he is already stinking: for he is four days old." 40 Jesus said to her, 'Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?' E-41 Then they took the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, thank you that you have heard me." 42 I knew that you always heard me, but I told them for the sake of the people standing around, that they might believe that you had sent me. 43 And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth.' 44 And the dead man went out, bound hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, "Loose him and let him go." 45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed in him. 46 And some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together and said, 'What shall we do, because this man does many signs?' 48 If we leave him thus, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both the temple and the people among us. 49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest for that year, said to them, 'You

you do not know anything, 50 and do not understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish. 51 He did not say this on his own behalf, but when he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the people, 52 and not only for the people, but that he might also gather together the scattered children of God. E-53 From that day on, they made up their mind to kill Him. Therefore, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to a country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he remained with the disciples. And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many came to Jerusalem from that country before the Passover, to be cleansed. 56 Then they were looking for Jesus, and they were saying among themselves, standing in the temple, 'What do you think?' Of course, he will not come to the Festival? 57 And the chief priests and the Pharisees gave orders that if any man knew where he was, he should report that he might seize him.

1 So Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead, was. 2 They made him a supper there, and Martha ministered. Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with Him. 3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment from the pure spikenard, which was of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the fragrance of myrrh. 4 And Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was to deliver him up, saith, 5 Why did they not sell this ointment for three hundred denarii, and give it to the poor? 6 And he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having a money-chest, he took what was put into it. 7 Then Jesus said, 'Leave her; it was necessary that she should save the myrrh for the day of My burial. 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. 9 And many people of the Jews knew then that he was there, and they came, not only for Jesus' sake, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised up from the dead. 10 And the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also, 11 because many of the Jews came and believed in Jesus for his sake. 12 And on the morrow a great number of the people who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, 13 took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord and King of Israel! 14 And Jesus, having found the colt, sat down on it, as it is written: 15 Do not be afraid, O daughter of Zion: behold, your King is coming, sitting on a colt. 16 His disciples did not understand this at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that it was written about him, and they did it to him. 17 And the people who were with him testified when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him up from the dead. 18 Wherefore the people went out to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign. 19 And the Pharisees said to one another, 'You see that you are gaining nothing, behold, the world has gone after him.' 20 Of those who went to worship on the Feast were some Greeks. 21 And they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and besought him, saying, 'Sir, we want to see Jesus.' 22 Philip came and said to Andrew; Andrew and Philip come and speak to Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified." 24 Verily, verily, I say to you, if a grain of wheat falls to the ground and does not die, it remains alone; but if he dies, he bears much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life destroyeth it, and he that hateth his life in this world shall preserve it unto eternal life. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. 27 Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour; but for this reason I have come for this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name. Then a voice was heard from heaven: "And I have glorified, and I will glorify again." 29 And the people who stood and heard said, 'This is thunder.' Others said, "An angel spoke to Him." 30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice is not for me, but for you." 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33 This he said, to make it clear what kind of death he was to die. 34 And the people answered him, 'We have heard in the law that Christ abides for ever, but how then sayest thou, that

must the Son of Man be exalted? Who is this Son of Man? 35 Jesus said to them, 'There is still a little time of light among you.' Walk while you have light, so that darkness does not overtake you. And he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 As long as you have light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. Jesus said this, and went away and hid himself from them. 37 After he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said,

Lord, who has believed what we have heard, and to whom has the hand of the Lord been revealed?

39 Therefore they could not believe what Isaiah had said, 40 He had blinded their eyes, and made their hearts hard, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and be converted. And I will heal them. 41 Isaiah said this, because he saw His glory and spoke of Him. 42 And many of the rulers also believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess, lest they should be excommunicated from the synagogue, 43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. 44 And Jesus cried out and said, 'He who believes in me does not believe in me, but in him who sent me,45 and he who sees me sees him who sent me.' 46 I came into the world as a light, that no one who believes in Me should dwell in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears my words and does not keep it, I do not judge him, for I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 For him who rejects Me and does not receive My words there is a judge: the word that I have spoken, it will judge him at the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself, but the Father who sent me has given me a commandment what I shall say and what I shall speak. 50 And I know that His commandment is eternal life. Therefore what I say, as the Father told me, so do I speak.

1 And before the feast of the Passover, knowing that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father, Jesus, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end. 2 And at the time of supper, when the devil had already planted in the heart of Judas Iscariot of Simon the intention of betraying him, 3 he, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hand, and that he had come from God, and was coming to God, 4 arose from the supper, and took off his garments. And taking a towel, He girded Himself. 5 Then he pours water into the washbasin. And he began to wash the feet of the disciples and wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. 6 So he came to Simon Peter, and he said to him, 'Lord, do you wash my feet?' 7 Jesus answered and said to him, 'What I am doing, you do not know now, but you will understand later.' 8 Peter said to him, 'You will never wash my feet.' Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with me." 9 And Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus said to him, 'He who has been washed has no need to wash, except his feet, but he is completely clean; and you are pure, but not all. 11 For he knew him that betrayed him; therefore He said, "Not all of you are pure." 12 And when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, Ok said to them, 'Do you know what I have done to you?' 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and rightly speaking. For I am indeed the Teacher and the Lord. E-14 Therefore if I have washed your feet, I, the Lord and Teacher, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that as I have done unto you, ye also should do. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than he that sent him. E-17 If you know this, blessed are you when you do this. 18 I do not say of all of you, I know whom I have chosen. But let the Scripture be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me lifted up his heel against me. 19 I say these things to you now, before it came to pass, that you might believe when it be fulfilled that I am. 20 Verily, verily, I say to you, if I send anyone, he who receives him receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 21 And when Jesus had said this, he was overcome with a stirring in the spirit, and testified, and said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, one of you shall betray me." 22 And the disciples looked at one another, wondering of whom he spoke. 23 And one of his disciples reclined at the breast of Jesus, he whom Jesus loved. 24 And Simon Peter made a sign unto him, saying, Tell me who

Who is He talking about? 25 And he fell down on the bosom of Jesus, and said to him, 'Lord, who is this? 26 Jesus answered, "He to whom I dip and give this piece." Having dipped a piece, He takes and gives it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. E-27 And then, after that piece, Satan came into him. Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly." 28 But none of those who sat at table understood why He had said these things to him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had a money-chest, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what we need for the Feast, or give something to the poor." 30 Taking a piece, he went out straightway. It was night. 31 So when he went out, Jesus said, 'Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.' 32 If God is glorified in Him, God also will glorify Him in Himself, and immediately glorify Him. 35 My children, I am with you a little longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, Whither I am going, you cannot go, so I say to you now. 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another. As I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 36 Simon Peter said to him, 'Lord, where are you going?' Jesus answered Him, "Where I am going, you cannot now follow Me, but you will follow Me afterwards." 37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for Thee. 38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me?" Verily, verily, I say unto thee, A shall not crow until thou hast denied Me three times.

1 Let not your heart be troubled: believe on God, and believe on me. 2 In My Father's house there are many mansions. And if it were not, would I have said to you, I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to Myself, that where I am, you also may be. 4 And whither I am going, you know; And you know the way. 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; How do we know the way? 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from now on you know Him and have seen Him. 8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that is enough for us," 9 Jesus said to him, "How long have I been with you, and you have not known me, Philip?" Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father. How then do you say: show us the Father? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you, I do not say of myself: The Father who dwells in Me does His works, and believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me. If not, believe in the deeds themselves. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me shall do the works which I do, and greater than these, because I go to the Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

15 If you love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and another Comforter,117 who will give you to be with you forever, 17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see him and does not know him; but you know Him, because He is with you, and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see Me, because I live, and you will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, is he that loveth me. But he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him. 22 Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him, 'Lord, what is this, that you want to show yourself to us, and not to the world?' 23 Jesus answered and said to him, 'If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our abode with him.' 24 He that loveth not me keepeth not my words. And the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father who sent me. 25 This I have told you, being with you. 26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give
