John 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now a man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village 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 Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and dried his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was ill.	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 So the sisters sent word to him, saying, "Master, the one you love is ill."	3 Απεστειλαν λοιπον αι αδελφαι προς αυτον, λεγουσαι? Κυριε, ιδου, εκεινος τον οποιον αγαπας, ασθενει.
4 When Jesus heard this he said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through 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 and Lazarus.	5 Ηγαπα δε ο Ιησους την Μαρθαν και την αδελφην αυτης και τον Λαζαρον.
6 So when he heard that he was ill, he remained for two days in the place where he was.	6 Καθως λοιπον ηκουσεν οτι ασθενει, τοτε μεν εμεινε δυο ημερας εν τω τοπω οπου ητο?
7 Then after this he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."	7 επειτα μετα τουτο λεγει προς τους μαθητας? Ας υπαγωμεν εις την Ιουδαιαν παλιν.
8 The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and you want to go back there?"	8 Λεγουσι προς αυτον οι μαθηται? Ραββι, τωρα εζητουν να σε λιθοβολησωσιν οι Ιουδαιοι, και παλιν υπαγεις εκει;
9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in a day? If one walks during the day, 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 one walks at night, 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 this, and then told them, "Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him."	11 Ταυτα ειπε, και μετα τουτο λεγει προς αυτους? Λαζαρος ο φιλος ημων εκοιμηθη? αλλα υπαγω δια να εξυπνησω αυτον.
12 So the disciples said to him, "Master, if he is asleep, he will be saved."	12 Ειπον λοιπον οι μαθηται αυτου? Κυριε, αν εκοιμηθη, θελει σωθη.
13 But Jesus was talking about his death, while they thought that he meant ordinary sleep.	13 Αλλ' ο Ιησους ειχεν ειπει περι του θανατου αυτου? εκεινοι ομως ενομισαν οτι λεγει περι της κοιμησεως του υπνου.
14 So then Jesus said to them clearly, "Lazarus has died.	14 Τοτε λοιπον ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους παρρησια? Ο Λαζαρος απεθανε.
15 And I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe. Let us go to him."	15 Και χαιρω δια σας, δια να πιστευσητε, διοτι δεν ημην εκει? αλλ' ας υπαγωμεν προς αυτον.
16 So Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go to die with him."	16 Ειπε δε ο Θωμας, ο λεγομενος Διδυμος προς τους συμμαθητας? Ας υπαγωμεν και ημεις, δια να αποθανωμεν μετ' αυτου.
17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus 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 Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away.	18 Ητο δε η Βηθανια πλησιον των Ιεροσολυμων, απεχουσα ως δεκαπεντε σταδια.
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.	19 Και πολλοι εκ των Ιουδαιων ειχον ελθει προς την Μαρθαν και Μαριαν, δια να παρηγορησωσιν αυτας περι του αδελφου αυτων.
20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home.	20 Η Μαρθα λοιπον, καθως ηκουσεν οτι ο Ιησους ερχεται, υπηντησεν αυτον? η δε Μαρια εκαθητο εν τω οικω.
21 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 ask of God, God will give you."	22 Πλην και τωρα εξευρω οτι οσα ζητησης παρα του Θεου, θελει σοι δωσει ο Θεος.
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise."	23 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Ο αδελφος σου θελει αναστηθη.
24 Martha said to him, "I know he will rise, in 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 told her, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will 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 will never die. 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, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world."	27 Λεγει προς αυτον? Ναι, Κυριε, εγω επιστευσα οτι συ εισαι ο Χριστος, ο Υιος του Θεου, ο ερχομενος εις τον κοσμον.
28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, "The teacher is here and is asking for you."	28 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα, υπηγε και εφωναξε Μαριαν την αδελφην αυτης κρυφιως και ειπεν? Ο Διδασκαλος ηλθε και σε κραζει.
29 As soon as she heard this, she rose quickly and went to him.	29 Εκεινη, καθως ηκουσε, σηκονεται ταχεως και ερχεται προς αυτον.
30 For Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still 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 So when the Jews who were with her in the house comforting her saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, presuming that she was going to the tomb to 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 When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and 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 When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he became perturbed and deeply 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 said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Sir, 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 So the Jews said, "See how he loved him."	36 Ελεγον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι? Ιδε ποσον ηγαπα αυτον.
37 But some of them said, "Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man have done something so that this man would not have died?"	37 Τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον? Δεν ηδυνατο ουτος, οστις ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου, να καμη ωστε και ουτος να μη αποθανη;
38 So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay across 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 dead man's sister, said to him, "Lord, by now there will be a stench; he has been dead for four days."	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 tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?"	40 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Δεν σοι ειπον οτι εαν πιστευσης, θελεις ιδει την δοξαν του Θεου;
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing 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 I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you 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 And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"	43 Και ταυτα ειπων, μετα φωνης μεγαλης εκραυγασε? Λαζαρε, ελθε εξω.
44 The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them, "Untie 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 Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what he had done began to believe 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 some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.	46 Τινες δε εξ αυτων απηλθον προς τους Φαρισαιους και ειπον προς αυτους οσα εκαμεν ο Ιησους.
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we going to do? This man is performing 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, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our land 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 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing,	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 consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish."	50 ουδε συλλογιζεσθε οτι μας συμφερει να αποθανη εις ανθρωπος υπερ του λαου και να μη απολεσθη ολον το εθνος.
51 He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to 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 also to gather into one the dispersed children of God.	52 και ουχι μονον υπερ του εθνους, αλλα και δια να συναξη εις εν τα τεκνα του Θεου τα διεσκορπισμενα.
53 So from that day on they planned to kill him.	53 Απ' εκεινης λοιπον της ημερας συνεβουλευθησαν, δια να θανατωσωσιν αυτον.
54 So Jesus no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he remained 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 went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify 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 They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"	56 Εζητουν λοιπον τον Ιησουν και ελεγον προς αλληλους ισταμενοι εν τω ιερω? Τι σας φαινεται οτι δεν θελει ελθει εις την εορτην;
57 For the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should inform them, so that they might arrest him.	57 Ειχον δε δωσει προσταγην και οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι, εαν τις μαθη που ειναι, να μηνυση, δια να πιασωσιν αυτον.
