John 11

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 There was a man named Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister, Martha, and he wasil .	1 Ητο δε τις ασθενης Λαζαρος απο Βηθανιας, εκ της κωμης της Μαριας και Μαρθας της αδελφης αυτης.
2 It was the same Mary, the sister of the sick man Lazarus, who anointed the Lord with ointment andwiped his feet with her hair.	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 The sisters sent this message to Jesus, 'Lord, the man you love is il .'	3 Απεστειλαν λοιπον αι αδελφαι προς αυτον, λεγουσαι? Κυριε, ιδου, εκεινος τον οποιον αγαπας, ασθενει.
4 On receiving the message, Jesus said, 'This sickness will not end in death, but it is for God's glory sothat through it the Son of God may be glorified.'	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 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus,	5 Ηγαπα δε ο Ιησους την Μαρθαν και την αδελφην αυτης και τον Λαζαρον.
6 yet when he heard that he was il he stayed where he was for two more days	6 Καθως λοιπον ηκουσεν οτι ασθενει, τοτε μεν εμεινε δυο ημερας εν τω τοπω οπου ητο?
7 before saying to the disciples, 'Let us go back to Judaea.'	7 επειτα μετα τουτο λεγει προς τους μαθητας? Ας υπαγωμεν εις την Ιουδαιαν παλιν.
8 The disciples said, 'Rabbi, it is not long since the Jews were trying to stone you; are you going backthere again?'	8 Λεγουσι προς αυτον οι μαθηται? Ραββι, τωρα εζητουν να σε λιθοβολησωσιν οι Ιουδαιοι, και παλιν υπαγεις εκει;
9 Jesus replied: Are there not twelve hours in the day? No one who walks in the daytime stumbles,having the light of this world to see by;	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 anyone who walks around at night stumbles, having no light as a guide.	10 εαν τις ομως περιπατη εν τη νυκτι, προσκοπτει, διοτι το φως δεν ειναι εν αυτω.
11 He said that and then added, 'Our friend Lazarus is at rest; I am going to wake him.'	11 Ταυτα ειπε, και μετα τουτο λεγει προς αυτους? Λαζαρος ο φιλος ημων εκοιμηθη? αλλα υπαγω δια να εξυπνησω αυτον.
12 The disciples said to him, 'Lord, if he is at rest he wil be saved.'	12 Ειπον λοιπον οι μαθηται αυτου? Κυριε, αν εκοιμηθη, θελει σωθη.
13 Jesus was speaking of the death of Lazarus, but they thought that by 'rest' he meant 'sleep';	13 Αλλ' ο Ιησους ειχεν ειπει περι του θανατου αυτου? εκεινοι ομως ενομισαν οτι λεγει περι της κοιμησεως του υπνου.
14 so Jesus put it plainly, 'Lazarus is dead;	14 Τοτε λοιπον ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους παρρησια? Ο Λαζαρος απεθανε.
15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there because now you will 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 Then Thomas -- known as the Twin -- said to the other 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 On arriving, Jesus found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already.	17 Ελθων λοιπον ο Ιησους ευρεν αυτον τεσσαρας ημερας εχοντα ηδη εν τω μνημειω.
18 Bethany is only about two miles from Jerusalem,	18 Ητο δε η Βηθανια πλησιον των Ιεροσολυμων, απεχουσα ως δεκαπεντε σταδια.
19 and many 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. Mary remained sitting in thehouse.	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 God will grant whatever you ask of him.'	22 Πλην και τωρα εξευρω οτι οσα ζητησης παρα του Θεου, θελει σοι δωσει ο Θεος.
23 Jesus said to her, 'Your brother wil rise again.'	23 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Ο αδελφος σου θελει αναστηθη.
24 Martha said, 'I know he wil 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: I am the resurrection. Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, wil 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 whoever lives and believes in me wil never die. Do you believe this?	26 και πας οστις ζη και πιστευει εις εμε δεν θελει αποθανει εις τον αιωνα. Πιστευεις τουτο;
27 'Yes, Lord,' she said, 'I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come intothis 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, saying in a low voice, 'The Master ishere and wants to see you.'	28 Και αφου ειπε ταυτα, υπηγε και εφωναξε Μαριαν την αδελφην αυτης κρυφιως και ειπεν? Ο Διδασκαλος ηλθε και σε κραζει.
29 Hearing this, Mary got up quickly and went to him.	29 Εκεινη, καθως ηκουσε, σηκονεται ταχεως και ερχεται προς αυτον.
30 Jesus had not yet come into the vil age; he was still at the 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 When the Jews who were in the house comforting Mary saw her get up so quickly and go out, theyfol owed her, thinking 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 Mary went to Jesus, and as soon as she saw him she threw herself at his feet, saying, 'Lord, if youhad 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 At the sight of her tears, and those of the Jews who had come with her, Jesus was greatly distressed,and with a profound sigh he said,	33 Ο δε Ιησους, καθως ειδεν αυτην κλαιουσαν και τους ελθοντας μετ' αυτης Ιουδαιους κλαιοντας, εστεναξεν εν τη ψυχη αυτου και εταραχθη,
34 'Where have you put him?' They said, 'Lord, come and see.'	34 και ειπε? Που εβαλετε αυτον; Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Κυριε, ελθε και ιδε.
35 Jesus wept;	35 Εδακρυσεν ο Ιησους.
36 and the Jews said, 'See how much he loved him!'	36 Ελεγον λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι? Ιδε ποσον ηγαπα αυτον.
37 But there were some who remarked, 'He opened the eyes of the blind man. Could he not haveprevented this man's death?'	37 Τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον? Δεν ηδυνατο ουτος, οστις ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου, να καμη ωστε και ουτος να μη αποθανη;
38 Sighing again, Jesus reached the tomb: it was a cave with a stone to close the opening.	38 Ο Ιησους λοιπον, παλιν στεναζων εν εαυτω, ερχεται εις το μνημειον? ητο δε σπηλαιον, και εκειτο λιθος επ' αυτου.
39 Jesus said, 'Take the stone away.' Martha, the dead man's sister, said to him, 'Lord, by now he willsmel ; this is the fourth day since he died.'	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 replied, 'Have I not told you that if you believe you wil 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 the stone away. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: Father, I thank you for hearingmy prayer.	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 myself knew that you hear me always, but I speak for the sake of all these who are standing aroundme, so that they may believe it was you who 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 this, he cried in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!'	43 Και ταυτα ειπων, μετα φωνης μεγαλης εκραυγασε? Λαζαρε, ελθε εξω.
44 The dead man came out, his feet and hands bound with strips of material, and a cloth over his face.Jesus said to them, 'Unbind him, let him go free.'	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 Many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what he 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 some of them went to the Pharisees to tel them what Jesus had done.	46 Τινες δε εξ αυτων απηλθον προς τους Φαρισαιους και ειπον προς αυτους οσα εκαμεν ο Ιησους.
47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees cal ed a meeting. 'Here is this man working al these signs,' theysaid, 'and what action are we taking?	47 Συνεκροτησαν λοιπον συνεδριον οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι και ελεγον? Τι καμνομεν, διοτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος πολλα θαυματα καμνει.
48 If we let him go on in this way everybody wil believe in him, and the Romans wil come and suppressthe Holy 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 One of them, Caiaphas, the high priest that year, said, 'You do not seem to have grasped thesituation at al ;	49 Εις δε τις εξ αυτων, ο Καιαφας, οστις ητο αρχιερευς του ενιαυτου εκεινου, ειπε προς αυτους? Σεις δεν εξευρετε τιποτε,
50 you fail to see that it is to your advantage that one man should die for the people, rather than that thewhole nation should 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 speak in his own person, but as high priest of that year he was prophesying that Jesuswas 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 for the nation only, but also to gather together into one the scattered children of God.	52 και ουχι μονον υπερ του εθνους, αλλα και δια να συναξη εις εν τα τεκνα του Θεου τα διεσκορπισμενα.
53 From that day onwards they were determined to kill him.	53 Απ' εκεινης λοιπον της ημερας συνεβουλευθησαν, δια να θανατωσωσιν αυτον.
54 So Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but left the district for a town cal ed Ephraim,in the country bordering on the desert, and stayed 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 The Jewish Passover was drawing near, and many of the country people who had gone up toJerusalem before the 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 were looking out for Jesus, saying to one another as they stood about in the Temple, 'What do youthink? Will he come to the festival or not?'	56 Εζητουν λοιπον τον Ιησουν και ελεγον προς αλληλους ισταμενοι εν τω ιερω? Τι σας φαινεται οτι δεν θελει ελθει εις την εορτην;
57 The chief priests and Pharisees had by now given their orders: anyone who knew where he was mustinform them so that they could arrest him.	57 Ειχον δε δωσει προσταγην και οι αρχιερεις και οι Φαρισαιοι, εαν τις μαθη που ειναι, να μηνυση, δια να πιασωσιν αυτον.
