John 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now there was a certain sick man, Lazarus of Bethania, from the town of Mary and her sister Martha.	1 Ητο δε τις ασθενης Λαζαρος απο Βηθανιας, εκ της κωμης της Μαριας και Μαρθας της αδελφης αυτης.
2 And Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was sick.	2 Η δε Μαρια ητο η αλειψασα τον Κυριον με μυρον και σπογγισασα τους ποδας αυτου με τας τριχας αυτης, της οποιας ο αδελφος Λαζαρος ησθενει.
3 Therefore, his sisters sent to him, saying: “Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.”	3 Απεστειλαν λοιπον αι αδελφαι προς αυτον, λεγουσαι? Κυριε, ιδου, εκεινος τον οποιον αγαπας, ασθενει.
4 Then, upon hearing this, Jesus said to them: “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”	4 Και ακουσας ο Ιησους ειπεν? Αυτη η ασθενεια δεν ειναι προς θανατον, αλλ' υπερ της δοξης του Θεου, δια να δοξασθη ο Υιος του Θεου δι' αυτης.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.	5 Ηγαπα δε ο Ιησους την Μαρθαν και την αδελφην αυτης και τον Λαζαρον.
6 Even so, after he heard that he was sick, he then still remained in the same place for two days.	6 Καθως λοιπον ηκουσεν οτι ασθενει, τοτε μεν εμεινε δυο ημερας εν τω τοπω οπου ητο?
7 Then, after these things, he said to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”	7 επειτα μετα τουτο λεγει προς τους μαθητας? Ας υπαγωμεν εις την Ιουδαιαν παλιν.
8 The disciples said to him: “Rabbi, the Jews are even now seeking to stone you. And would you go there again?”	8 Λεγουσι προς αυτον οι μαθηται? Ραββι, τωρα εζητουν να σε λιθοβολησωσιν οι Ιουδαιοι, και παλιν υπαγεις εκει;
9 Jesus responded: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.	9 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Δεν ειναι δωδεκα αι ωραι της ημερας; εαν τις περιπατη εν τη ημερα, δεν προσκοπτει, διοτι βλεπει το φως του κοσμου τουτου?
10 But if he walks in the nighttime, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”	10 εαν τις ομως περιπατη εν τη νυκτι, προσκοπτει, διοτι το φως δεν ειναι εν αυτω.
11 He said these things, and after this, he said to them: “Lazarus our friend is sleeping. But I am going, so that I may awaken him from sleep.”	11 Ταυτα ειπε, και μετα τουτο λεγει προς αυτους? Λαζαρος ο φιλος ημων εκοιμηθη? αλλα υπαγω δια να εξυπνησω αυτον.
12 And so his disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he shall be healthy.”	12 Ειπον λοιπον οι μαθηται αυτου? Κυριε, αν εκοιμηθη, θελει σωθη.
13 But Jesus had spoken about his death. Yet they thought that he spoke about the repose of sleep.	13 Αλλ' ο Ιησους ειχεν ειπει περι του θανατου αυτου? εκεινοι ομως ενομισαν οτι λεγει περι της κοιμησεως του υπνου.
14 Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died.	14 Τοτε λοιπον ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους παρρησια? Ο Λαζαρος απεθανε.
15 And I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”	15 Και χαιρω δια σας, δια να πιστευσητε, διοτι δεν ημην εκει? αλλ' ας υπαγωμεν προς αυτον.
16 And then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go, too, so that we may die with him.”	16 Ειπε δε ο Θωμας, ο λεγομενος Διδυμος προς τους συμμαθητας? Ας υπαγωμεν και ημεις, δια να αποθανωμεν μετ' αυτου.
17 And so Jesus went. And he found that he had already been in the tomb for four days.	17 Ελθων λοιπον ο Ιησους ευρεν αυτον τεσσαρας ημερας εχοντα ηδη εν τω μνημειω.
18 (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.)	18 Ητο δε η Βηθανια πλησιον των Ιεροσολυμων, απεχουσα ως δεκαπεντε σταδια.
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother.	19 Και πολλοι εκ των Ιουδαιων ειχον ελθει προς την Μαρθαν και Μαριαν, δια να παρηγορησωσιν αυτας περι του αδελφου αυτων.
20 Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home.	20 Η Μαρθα λοιπον, καθως ηκουσεν οτι ο Ιησους ερχεται, υπηντησεν αυτον? η δε Μαρια εκαθητο εν τω οικω.
21 And then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.	21 Ειπε λοιπον η Μαρθα προς τον Ιησουν? Κυριε, εαν ησο εδω, ο αδελφος μου δεν ηθελεν αποθανει.
22 But even now, I know that whatever you will request from God, God will give to you.”	22 Πλην και τωρα εξευρω οτι οσα ζητησης παρα του Θεου, θελει σοι δωσει ο Θεος.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”	23 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Ο αδελφος σου θελει αναστηθη.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he shall rise again, at the resurrection on the last day.”	24 Λεγει προς αυτον η Μαρθα? Εξευρω οτι θελει αναστηθη εν τη αναστασει εν τη εσχατη ημερα.
25 Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.	25 Ειπε προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Εγω ειμαι η αναστασις και η ζωη? ο πιστευων εις εμε, και αν αποθανη, θελει ζησει?
26 And everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die for eternity. Do you believe this?”	26 και πας οστις ζη και πιστευει εις εμε δεν θελει αποθανει εις τον αιωνα. Πιστευεις τουτο;
27 She said to him: “Certainly, Lord. I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, who has come into this world.”	27 Λεγει προς αυτον? Ναι, Κυριε, εγω επιστευσα οτι συ εισαι ο Χριστος, ο Υιος του Θεου, ο ερχομενος εις τον κοσμον.
28 And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary quietly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and he is calling you.”	28 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα, υπηγε και εφωναξε Μαριαν την αδελφην αυτης κρυφιως και ειπεν? Ο Διδασκαλος ηλθε και σε κραζει.
29 When she heard this, she rose up quickly and went to him.	29 Εκεινη, καθως ηκουσε, σηκονεται ταχεως και ερχεται προς αυτον.
30 For Jesus had not yet arrived in the town. But he was still at that place where Martha had met him.	30 Δεν ειχε δε ελθει ο Ιησους ετι εις την κωμην, αλλ' ητο εν τω τοπω, οπου υπηντησεν αυτον η Μαρθα.
31 Therefore, the Jews who were with her in the house and who were consoling her, when they had seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there.”	31 Οι Ιουδαιοι λοιπον, οι οντες μετ' αυτης εν τη οικια και παρηγορουντες αυτην, ιδοντες την Μαριαν οτι εσηκωθη ταχεως και εξηλθεν, ηκολουθησαν αυτην, λεγοντες οτι υπαγει εις το μνημειον, δια να κλαυση εκει.
32 Therefore, when Mary had arrived to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and she said to him. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”	32 Η Μαρια λοιπον καθως ηλθεν οπου ητο ο Ιησους, ιδουσα αυτον επεσεν εις τους ποδας αυτου, λεγουσα προς αυτον? Κυριε, εαν ησο εδω, ο αδελφος μου δεν ηθελεν αποθανει.
33 And then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had arrived with her weeping, he groaned in spirit and became troubled.	33 Ο δε Ιησους, καθως ειδεν αυτην κλαιουσαν και τους ελθοντας μετ' αυτης Ιουδαιους κλαιοντας, εστεναξεν εν τη ψυχη αυτου και εταραχθη,
34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”	34 και ειπε? Που εβαλετε αυτον; Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Κυριε, ελθε και ιδε.
35 And Jesus wept.	35 Εδακρυσεν ο Ιησους.
36 Therefore, the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!”	36 Ελεγον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι? Ιδε ποσον ηγαπα αυτον.
37 But some of them said, “Would not he who opened the eyes of one born blind have been able to cause this man not to die?”	37 Τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον? Δεν ηδυνατο ουτος, οστις ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου, να καμη ωστε και ουτος να μη αποθανη;
38 Therefore, Jesus, again groaning from within himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone had been placed over it.	38 Ο Ιησους λοιπον, παλιν στεναζων εν εαυτω, ερχεται εις το μνημειον? ητο δε σπηλαιον, και εκειτο λιθος επ' αυτου.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who had died, said to him, “Lord, by now it will smell, for this is the fourth day.”	39 Λεγει ο Ιησους? Σηκωσατε τον λιθον. Λεγει προς αυτον η αδελφη του αποθανοντος η Μαρθα? Κυριε, οζει ηδη? διοτι ειναι τεσσαρων ημερων.
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?”	40 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Δεν σοι ειπον οτι εαν πιστευσης, θελεις ιδει την δοξαν του Θεου;
41 Therefore, they took away the stone. Then, lifting up his eyes, Jesus said: “Father, I give thanks to you because you have heard me.	41 Εσηκωσαν λοιπον τον λιθον, οπου εκειτο ο αποθανων. Ο δε Ιησους, υψωσας τους οφθαλμους ανω, ειπε? Πατερ, ευχαριστω σοι οτι μου ηκουσας.
42 And I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the people who are standing nearby, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”	42 Και εγω εγνωριζον οτι παντοτε μου ακουεις? αλλα δια τον οχλον τον περιεστωτα ειπον τουτο, δια να πιστευσωσιν οτι συ με απεστειλας.
43 When he had said these things, he cried in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”	43 Και ταυτα ειπων, μετα φωνης μεγαλης εκραυγασε? Λαζαρε, ελθε εξω.
44 And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound with a separate cloth. Jesus said to them, “Release him and let him go.”	44 Και εξηλθεν ο τεθνηκως, δεδεμενος τους ποδας και τας χειρας με τα σαβανα, και το προσωπον αυτου ητο περιδεδεμενον με σουδαριον. Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Λυσατε αυτον και αφησατε να υπαγη.
45 Therefore, many of the Jews, who had come to Mary and Martha, and who had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.	45 Πολλοι λοιπον εκ των Ιουδαιων, οιτινες ειχον ελθει εις την Μαριαν και ειδον οσα εκαμεν ο Ιησους, επιστευσαν εις αυτον.
46 But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.	46 Τινες δε εξ αυτων απηλθον προς τους Φαρισαιους και ειπον προς αυτους οσα εκαμεν ο Ιησους.
47 And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: “What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.	47 Συνεκροτησαν λοιπον συνεδριον οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι και ελεγον? Τι καμνομεν, διοτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος πολλα θαυματα καμνει.
48 If we leave him alone, in this way all will believe in him. And then the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.”	48 Εαν αφησωμεν αυτον ουτω, παντες θελουσι πιστευσει εις αυτον, και θελουσιν ελθει οι Ρωμαιοι και αφανισει και τον τοπον ημων και το εθνος.
49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, since he was the high priest that year, said to them: “You do not understand anything.	49 Εις δε τις εξ αυτων, ο Καιαφας, οστις ητο αρχιερευς του ενιαυτου εκεινου, ειπε προς αυτους? Σεις δεν εξευρετε τιποτε,
50 Nor do you realize that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the entire nation should not perish.”	50 ουδε συλλογιζεσθε οτι μας συμφερει να αποθανη εις ανθρωπος υπερ του λαου και να μη απολεσθη ολον το εθνος.
51 Yet he did not say this from himself, but since he was the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation.	51 Τουτο δε αφ' εαυτου δεν ειπεν, αλλ' αρχιερευς ων του ενιαυτου εκεινου προεφητευσεν οτι εμελλεν ο Ιησους να αποθανη υπερ του εθνους,
52 And not only for the nation, but in order to gather together as one the children of God who have been dispersed.	52 και ουχι μονον υπερ του εθνους, αλλα και δια να συναξη εις εν τα τεκνα του Θεου τα διεσκορπισμενα.
53 Therefore, from that day, they planned to put him to death.	53 Απ' εκεινης λοιπον της ημερας συνεβουλευθησαν, δια να θανατωσωσιν αυτον.
54 And so, Jesus no longer walked in public with the Jews. But he went into a region near the desert, to a city which is called Ephraim. And he lodged there with his disciples.	54 Οθεν ο Ιησους δεν περιεπατει πλεον παρρησια μεταξυ των Ιουδαιων, αλλ' ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν εις τον τοπον πλησιον της ερημου, εις πολιν λεγομενην Εφραιμ, και εκει διετριβε μετα των μαθητων αυτου.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near. And many from the countryside ascended to Jerusalem before the Passover, so that they might sanctify themselves.	55 Επλησιαζε δε το πασχα των Ιουδαιων, και πολλοι ανεβησαν εκ του τοπου εκεινου εις Ιεροσολυμα προ του πασχα, δια να καθαρισωσιν εαυτους.
56 Therefore, they were seeking Jesus. And they conferred with one another, while standing in the temple: “What do you think? Will he come to the feast day?”	56 Εζητουν λοιπον τον Ιησουν και ελεγον προς αλληλους ισταμενοι εν τω ιερω? Τι σας φαινεται οτι δεν θελει ελθει εις την εορτην;
57 And the high priests and Pharisees had given an order, so that if anyone would know where he may be, he should reveal it, so that they might apprehend him.	57 Ειχον δε δωσει προσταγην και οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι, εαν τις μαθη που ειναι, να μηνυση, δια να πιασωσιν αυτον.
