John 11:17-44 ▼

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.
