Ioannem, chapter 11, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 11 Vulgate

   1 Erat autem quidam lan guens Lazarus a Bethania, de castello Mariae et Marthae sororis eius.
   2 Maria autem erat, quae unxit Dominum unguento et extersit pedes eius capillis suis, cuius frater Lazarus infirmabatur.
   3 Miserunt ergo sorores ad eum dicentes: "Domine, ecce, quem amas, infirmatur".
   4 Audiens autem Iesus dixit: "Infirmitas haec non est ad mortem sed pro gloria Dei, ut glorificetur Filius Dei per eam".
   5 Diligebat autem Iesus Martham et sororem eius et Lazarum.
   6 Ut ergo audivit quia infirmabatur, tunc quidem mansit in loco, in quo erat, duobus diebus;
   7 deinde post hoc dicit discipulis: "Eamus in Iudaeam iterum".
   8 Dicunt ei discipuli: "Rabbi, nunc quaerebant te Iudaei lapidare, et iterum vadis illuc?".
   9 Respondit Iesus: "Nonne duodecim horae sunt diei? Si quis ambulaverit in die, non offendit, quia lucem huius mundi videt;
   10 si quis autem ambulaverit in nocte, offendit, quia lux non est in eo".
   11 Haec ait et post hoc dicit eis: "Lazarus amicus noster dormit, sed vado, ut a somno exsuscitem eum".
   12 Dixerunt ergo ei discipuli: "Domine, si dormit, salvus erit".
   13 Dixerat autem Iesus de morte eius, illi autem putaverunt quia de dormitione somni diceret.
   14 Tunc ergo dixit eis Iesus manifeste: "Lazarus mortuus est,
   15 et gaudeo propter vos, ut credatis, quoniam non eram ibi; sed eamus ad eum".
   16 Dixit ergo Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, ad condiscipulos: "Eamus et nos, ut moriamur cum eo!".
   17 Venit itaque Iesus et invenit eum quattuor dies iam in monumento habentem.
   18 Erat autem Bethania iuxta Hierosolymam quasi stadiis quindecim.
   19 Multi autem ex Iudaeis venerant ad Martham et Mariam, ut consolarentur eas de fratre.
   20 Martha ergo ut audivit quia Iesus venit, occurrit illi; Maria autem domi sedebat.
   21 Dixit ergo Martha ad Iesum: "Domine, si fuisses hic, frater meus non esset mortuus!
   22 Sed et nunc scio quia, quaecumque poposceris a Deo, dabit tibi Deus".
   23 Dicit illi Iesus: "Resurget frater tuus".
   24 Dicit ei Martha: "Scio quia resurget in resurrectione in novissimo die".
   25 Dixit ei Iesus: "Ego sum resurrectio et vita. Qui credit in me, etsi mortuus fuerit, vivet;
   26 et omnis, qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in aeternum. Credis hoc?".
   27 Ait illi: "Utique, Domine; ego credidi quia tu es Christus Filius Dei, qui in mundum venisti".
   28 Et cum haec dixisset, abiit et vocavit Mariam sororem suam silentio dicens: "Magister adest et vocat te".
   29 Illa autem ut audivit, surrexit cito et venit ad eum;
   30 nondum enim venerat Iesus in castellum, sed erat adhuc in illo loco, ubi occurrerat ei Martha.
   31 Iudaei igitur, qui erant cum ea in domo et consolabantur eam, cum vidissent Mariam quia cito surrexit et exiit, secuti sunt eam putantes: "Vadit ad monumentum, ut ploret ibi".
   32 Maria ergo, cum venisset ubi erat Iesus, videns eum cecidit ad pedes eius dicens ei: "Domine, si fuisses hic, non esset mortuus frater meus!".
   33 Iesus ergo, ut vidit eam plorantem et Iudaeos, qui venerant cum ea, plorantes, fremuit spiritu et turbavit seipsum
   34 et dixit: "Ubi posuistis eum?". Dicunt ei: "Domine, veni et vide".
   35 Lacrimatus est Iesus.
   36 Dicebant ergo Iudaei: "Ecce quomodo amabat eum!".
   37 Quidam autem dixerunt ex ipsis: "Non poterat hic, qui aperuit oculos caeci, facere, ut et hic non moreretur?".
   38 Iesus ergo rursum fremens in semetipso, venit ad monumentum; erat autem spelunca, et lapis superpositus erat ei.
   39 Ait Iesus: "Tollite lapidem!". Dicit ei Martha, soror eius, qui mortuus fuerat: "Domine, iam foetet; quatriduanus enim est!".
   40 Dicit ei Iesus: "Nonne dixi tibi quoniam, si credideris, videbis gloriam Dei?".
   41 Tulerunt ergo lapidem. Iesus autem, elevatis sursum oculis, dixit: "Pater, gratias ago tibi quoniam audisti me.
   42 Ego autem sciebam quia semper me audis, sed propter populum, qui circumstat, dixi, ut credant quia tu me misisti".
   43 Et haec cum dixisset, voce magna clamavit: "Lazare, veni foras!".
   44 Prodiit, qui fuerat mortuus, ligatus pedes et manus institis; et facies illius sudario erat ligata. Dicit Iesus eis: "Solvite eum et sinite eum abire ".
   45 Multi ergo ex Iudaeis, qui venerant ad Mariam et viderant, quae fecit, crediderunt in eum;
   46 quidam autem ex ipsis abierunt ad pharisaeos et dixerunt eis, quae fecit Iesus.
   47 Collegerunt ergo pontifices et pharisaei concilium et dicebant: "Quid facimus, quia hic homo multa signa facit?
   48 Si dimittimus eum sic, omnes credent in eum, et venient Romani et tollent nostrum et locum et gentem!".
   49 Unus autem ex ipsis, Caiphas, cum esset pontifex anni illius, dixit eis: "Vos nescitis quidquam
   50 nec cogitatis quia expedit vobis, ut unus moriatur homo pro populo, et non tota gens pereat!".
   51 Hoc autem a semetipso non dixit; sed, cum esset pontifex anni illius, prophetavit quia Iesus moriturus erat pro gente
   52 et non tantum pro gente, sed et ut filios Dei, qui erant dispersi, congregaret in unum.
   53 Ab illo ergo die cogitaverunt, ut interficerent eum.
   54 Iesus ergo iam non in palam ambulabat apud Iudaeos, sed abiit inde in regionem iuxta desertum, in civitatem, quae dicitur Ephraim, et ibi morabatur cum discipulis.
   55 Proximum autem erat Pascha Iudaeorum, et ascenderunt multi Hierosolymam de regione ante Pascha, ut sanctificarent seipsos.
   56 Quaerebant ergo Iesum et colloquebantur ad invicem in templo stantes: "Quid videtur vobis? Numquid veniet ad diem festum?".
   57 Dederant autem pontifices et pharisaei mandatum, ut, si quis cognoverit, ubi sit, indicet, ut apprehendant eum.

King James Version

   1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
   2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
   3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
   4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
   5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
   6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
   7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
   8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
   9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
   10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
   11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
   12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
   13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
   14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
   15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
   16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
   17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
   18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
   19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
   20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
   21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
   22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
   23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
   24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
   25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
   26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
   27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
   28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
   29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
   30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
   31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
   32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
   33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
   34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
   35 Jesus wept.
   36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
   37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
   38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
   39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
   40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
   41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
   42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
   43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
   44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
   45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
   46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
   47 ¶ Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
   48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
   49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
   50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
   51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
   52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
   53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
   54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
   55 ¶ And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
   56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
   57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
