- 1. A certayne man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethanie, the towne of Marie and her sister Martha.
- 2. (It was that Marie which anoynted ye Lorde with oyntment, and wyped his feete with her heere, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.)
- 3. Therfore, his sisters sent vnto hym, saying: Lorde, beholde, he whom thou louest is sicke.
- 4. When Iesus hearde that, he sayde, this infirmitie is not vnto death: but for the glory of God, that the sonne of God, myght be glorified therby.
- 5. Iesus loued Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
- 6. When he had hearde therfore that he was sicke, he abode two dayes styll in the same place where he was.
- 7. Then after that, sayde he to his disciples: Let vs go into Iurie agayne.
- 8. His disciples sayde vnto hym: Maister, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and wylt thou go thither agayne?
- 9. Iesus aunswered: Are there not twelue houres of the day? If any man walke in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the lyght of this worlde.
- 10. But yf a man walke in the nyght, he stumbleth, because there is no lyght in hym.
- 11. These thynges sayde he, and after that, he sayde vnto them: Our friende Lazarus slepeth, but I go to wake hym out of slepe.
- 12. Then sayde his disciples: Lorde, yf he slepe, he shall do well inough.
- 13. Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death, but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall slepe.
- 14. Then sayde Iesus vnto the playnely, Lazarus is dead:
- 15. And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, because ye may beleue. Neuerthelesse, let vs go vnto hym.
- 16. Then sayde Thomas, which is called Didimus, vnto his felowe disciples: let vs also go, that we may dye with hym.
- 17. Then went Iesus, and founde that he had lyen in his graue, foure dayes alredy.
- 18. (Bethanie was nye vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlonges of.)
- 19. And many of the Iewes came to Martha and Marie to comfort them ouer their brother.
- 20. Martha assoone as she hearde that Iesus was commyng, went and met hym: but Marie sate styll in the house.
- 21. Then sayde Martha vnto Iesus: Lorde, yf thou haddest ben here, my brother had not dyed:
- 22. Neuerthelesse, nowe I knowe that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God wyll geue it thee.
- 23. Iesus sayth vnto her: Thy brother shall ryse agayne.
- 24. Martha sayth vnto hym: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurrection at the last day.
- 25. Iesus sayth vnto her, I am the resurrection, and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, yea, though he were dead, yet shall he lyue.
- 26. And whosoeuer lyueth, and beleueth on me, shall neuer dye. Beleuest thou this?
- 27. She sayde vnto hym: Yea Lorde, I beleue that thou art Christe the sonne of God, which shoulde come into the worlde.
- 28. And assoone as she had so sayde, she went her way, and called Marie her sister secretely, saying: The Maister is come, and calleth for thee.
- 29. Assoone as she hearde that, she arose quickly, and came vnto hym.
- 30. Iesus was not yet come into the towne: but was in that place where Martha met hym.
- 31. The Iewes then which were with her in the house & comforted her, when they sawe Marie that she rose vp hastelye, and went out, folowed her, saying: She goeth vnto the graue, to weepe there.
- 32. Then when Marie was come where Iesus was, and sawe hym, she fell downe at his feete, and sayth vnto him: Lorde, yf thou haddest ben here, my brother had not ben dead.
- 33. Whe Iesus therfore sawe her weepe, and the Iewes also weepyng which came with her, he groned in the spirite, and was troubled in hym selfe.
- 34. And sayde: Where haue ye layde him? They sayde vnto hym: Lorde, come, and see.
- 35. And Iesus wept.
- 36. Then sayde the Iewes: Beholde howe he loued hym.
- 37. And some of them sayde: Coulde not he which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue made also, that this man shoulde not haue dyed?
- 38. Iesus therfore agayne groned in him selfe, and came to the graue. It was a caue, and a stone layde on it.
- 39. Iesus sayde: Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of hym that was dead, sayde vnto hym, Lorde, by this tyme he stinketh: For he hath ben dead foure dayes.
- 40. Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto thee, that yf thou dyddest beleue, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
- 41. Then they toke away the stone from the place where the dead was layde. And Iesus lyft vp his eyes, and sayde: Father, I thanke thee that thou hast hearde me.
- 42. Howbeit, I knowe, that thou hearest me alwayes: but because of the people which stande by, I sayde it, that they maye beleue that thou hast sent me.
- 43. And when he thus had spoken, he cryed with a loude voyce: Lazarus, come foorth.
- 44. And he that was dead, came foorth, bounde hande and foote, with graue clothes, and his face was bounde with a napkyn. Iesus sayde vnto them: loose hym, and let hym go.
- 45. Then many of the Iewes which came to Marie, and had seene ye thynges which Iesus dyd, beleued on hym.
- 46. But some of them went their wayes to the pharisees, and tolde them what Iesus had done.
- 47. Then gathered the hye priestes and the pharisees a councell, and sayde: What do we? For this man doth many miracles.
- 48. If we let hym scape thus, all men wyll beleue on him, and the Romaynes shall come, and take away both our rowme and the people.
- 49. And one of them named Caiaphas, beyng the hye priest that same yere, sayde vnto them: Ye perceaue nothyng at all,
- 50. Nor consider, that it is expedient for vs, that one man dye for the people, and not that all the people perishe.
- 51. This spake he, not of hym selfe, but beyng hye priest that same yere, he prophesied that Iesus shoulde dye for the people,
- 52. And not for the people only: but that he shoulde gather together in one, the chyldren of God, that were scattered abrode.
- 53. Then from that day foorth, they toke councell together, for to put hym to death.
- 54. Iesus therfore walked no more openlye among the Iewes: but went his way thence, vnto a countrey nye to a wildernesse, into a citie which is called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
- 55. And the Iewes Easter was nye at hande, and many went out of the countrey vp to Hierusale before the Easter, to purifie them selues.
- 56. Then sought they for Iesus, & spake among them selues, as they stoode in the temple: What thynke ye, seeyng he commeth not to the feast day?
- 57. The hye priestes and pharisees had geuen a commaundement, that yf any man knewe where he were, he shoulde shewe it, that they myght take hym.
