1 וַיְהִי אִישׁ חוֹלֶה לַעְזָר שְׁמוֹ מִבֵּית־הִינִי כְּפַר מִרְיָם וּמָרְתָא אֲחוֹתָהּ	1 There was a man named Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister, Martha, and he wasil .
2 הִיא מִרְיָם אֲשֶׁר מָשְׁחָה אֶת־הָאָדוֹן בְּשֶׁמֶן הַמֹּר וַתְּנַגֵּב אֶת־רַגְלָיו בְּשַׂעֲרוֹתֶיהָ וְעַתָּה לַעְזָר אָחִיהָ חָלָה	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.
3 וַתִּשְׁלַחְנָה אַחְיוֹתָיו אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי הִנֵּה זֶה אֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתָּ חֹלֶה הוּא	3 The sisters sent this message to Jesus, 'Lord, the man you love is il .'
4 וַיִּשְׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר זֹאת הַמַּחֲלָה אֵינֶנָּה לַמָּוֶת כִּי אִם־לִכְבוֹד הָאֱלֹהִים לְמַעַן יִכָּבֶד־בָּהּ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים	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.'
5 וְיֵשׁוּעַ אָהֵב אֶת מָרְתָא וְאֶת־אֲחוֹתָהּ וְאֶת־לַעְזָר	5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus,
6 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעוֹ כִּי חָלָה וַיִּתְמַהְמַהּ וַיֵּשֶׁב יוֹמַיִם בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־הוּא שָׁם	6 yet when he heard that he was il he stayed where he was for two more days
7 וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן אָמַר לְתַלְמִידָיו לְכוּ וְנָשׁוּבָה לְאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה	7 before saying to the disciples, 'Let us go back to Judaea.'
8 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו רַבִּי עַתָּה זֶה בִּקְשׁוּ הַיְּהוּדִים לִסְקָלְךָ וְאַתָּה תָּשׁוּב שָׁמָּה	8 The disciples said, 'Rabbi, it is not long since the Jews were trying to stone you; are you going backthere again?'
9 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ הֲלֹא שְׁתֵּים־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁעוֹת לַיּוֹם אִישׁ כִּי־יֵלֵךְ בַּיּוֹם לֹא יִכָּשֵׁל כִּי יִרְאֶה אוֹר הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה	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;
10 אֲבָל הַהֹלֵךְ בַּלַּיְלָה יִכָּשֵׁל כִּי הָאוֹר אֵין בּוֹ	10 anyone who walks around at night stumbles, having no light as a guide.
11 כָּזֹאת דִּבֵּר וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם לַעְזָר יְדִידֵנוּ יָשֵׁן הוּא וְאָנֹכִי הֹלֵךְ לְמַעַן אֲעִירֶנּוּ	11 He said that and then added, 'Our friend Lazarus is at rest; I am going to wake him.'
12 וַיֹּאמְרוּ תַּלְמִידָיו אֲדֹנִי אִם־יָשֵׁן הוּא יִוָּשֵׁעַ	12 The disciples said to him, 'Lord, if he is at rest he wil be saved.'
13 וְיֵשׁוּעַ דִּבֶּר עַל־מוֹתוֹ וְהֵמָּה חָשְׁבוּ כִּי עַל־מְנוּחַת הַשֵּׁנָה דִּבֵּר	13 Jesus was speaking of the death of Lazarus, but they thought that by 'rest' he meant 'sleep';
14 אָז גָּלָה יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־אָזְנָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לַעְזָר מֵת	14 so Jesus put it plainly, 'Lazarus is dead;
15 וְשָׂמֵחַ אֲנִי בִּגְלַלְכֶם כִּי לֹא־הָיִיתִי שָׁם לְמַעַן תַּאֲמִינוּ וְעַתָּה נִסְעָה וְנֵלְכָה אֵלָיו	15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there because now you will believe. But let us go to him.'
16 וַיֹּאמֶר תּוֹמָא הַנִּקְרָא דִידוּמוֹס אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים חֲבֵרָיו נֵלְכָה גַם־אֲנַחְנוּ לְמַעַן נָמוּת עִמּוֹ	16 Then Thomas -- known as the Twin -- said to the other disciples, 'Let us also go to die with him.'
17 וַיָּבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּמְצָאֵהוּ זֶה אַרְבָּעָה יָמִים שֹׁכֵב בַּקָּבֶר	17 On arriving, Jesus found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already.
18 וּבֵית־הִינִי הָיָה קָרוֹב לִירוּשָׁלָיִם כְּדֶרֶךְ חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה רִיס	18 Bethany is only about two miles from Jerusalem,
19 וְרַבִּים מִן־הַיְּהוּדִים בָּאוּ בֵית־מָרְתָא וּמִרְיָם לְנַחֵם אֶתְהֶן עַל־אֲחִיהֶן	19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.
20 וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ מָרְתָא כִּי יֵשׁוּעַ בָּא וַתֵּצֵא לִקְרָאתוֹ וּמִרְיָם יוֹשֶׁבֶת בַּבָּיִת	20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming she went to meet him. Mary remained sitting in thehouse.
21 וַתֹּאמֶר מָרְתָא אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדֹנִי אִלּוּ הָיִיתָ פֹּה כִּי־אָז לֹא־מֵת אָחִי	21 Martha said to Jesus, 'Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died,
22 וְגַם־עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי כָל־אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁאַל מֵאֵת אֱלֹהִים יִתֵּן לְךָ אֱלֹהִים	22 but even now I know that God will grant whatever you ask of him.'
23 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ קוֹם יָקוּם אָחִיךְ	23 Jesus said to her, 'Your brother wil rise again.'
24 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מָרְתָא יָדַעְתִּי כִּי יָקוּם בַּתְּקוּמָה בַּיּוֹם הָאַחֲרוֹן	24 Martha said, 'I know he wil rise again at the resurrection on the last day.'
25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ אָנֹכִי הַתְּקוּמָה וְהַחַיִּים הַמַּאֲמִין בִּי יִחְיֶה גַּם כִּי־יָמוּת	25 Jesus said: I am the resurrection. Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, wil live,
26 וְכָל־הַחַי אֲשֶׁר יַאֲמִין־בִּי לֹא־יָמוּת לְעוֹלָם הֲתַאֲמִינִי זֹאת	26 and whoever lives and believes in me wil never die. Do you believe this?
27 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֵּן אֲדֹנִי הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי־אַתָּה הַמָּשִׁיחַ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים הַבָּא לָעוֹלָם	27 'Yes, Lord,' she said, 'I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come intothis world.'
28 וַיְהִי אַחַר דַּבְּרָהּ זֹאת וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתִּקְרָא לְמִרְיָם אֲחוֹתָהּ בַּסֵּתֶר לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה הַמּוֹרֶה פֹּה וְקֹרֵא לָךְ	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.'
29 הִיא שָׁמְעָה וַתְּמַהֵר לָקוּם וַתָּבֹא אֵלָיו	29 Hearing this, Mary got up quickly and went to him.
30 וְיֵשׁוּעַ טֶרֶם יָבֹא אֶל־הַכְּפָר כִּי־עוֹדֶנּוּ עֹמֵד בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר פְּגָשַׁתּוּ־שָׁם מָרְתָא	30 Jesus had not yet come into the vil age; he was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31 וְהַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ אֶל־בֵּיתָהּ לְנַחֲמָהּ כִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־מִרְיָם כִּי־קָמָה פִתְאֹם וַתֵּצֵא הָלְכוּ אַחֲרֶיהָ בְּאָמְרָם כִּי־הָלְכָה לָּהּ אֶל־הַקֶּבֶר לִבְכּוֹת שָׁמָּה	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.
32 וַתָּבֹא מִרְיָם אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יֵשׁוּעַ עֹמֵד שָׁם וַתֵּרֶא אֹתוֹ וַתִּפֹּל לְרַגְלָיו וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֲדֹנִי אִלּוּ הָיִיתָ פֹּה כִּי־אָז לֹא־מֵת אָחִי	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.'
33 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ אֹתָהּ בֹּכִיָּה וְגַם־הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ אִתָּהּ בֹּכִים וַתִּזְעֹם רוּחוֹ וַיְהִי מַרְעִיד	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,
34 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵיפֹה שַׂמְתֶּם אֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֲדֹנִי בֹּא וּרְאֵה	34 'Where have you put him?' They said, 'Lord, come and see.'
35 וַיֵּבְךְּ יֵשׁוּעַ	35 Jesus wept;
36 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַיְּהוּדִים הִנֵּה מַה־גָּדְלָה אַהֲבָתוֹ אֹתוֹ	36 and the Jews said, 'See how much he loved him!'
37 וּמִקְצָתָם אָמְרוּ הַפֹּקֵחַ עֵינֵי הָעִוֵּר הֲלֹא יָכֹל לַעֲשֹוֹת שֶׁגַּם־זֶה לֹא יָמוּת	37 But there were some who remarked, 'He opened the eyes of the blind man. Could he not haveprevented this man's death?'
38 וַיּוֹסֶף עוֹד יֵשׁוּעַ לְהִזָּעֵם בְּרוּחוֹ וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַקֶּבֶר וְהוּא מְעָרָה וְאֶבֶן עַל־מְבוֹאָהּ	38 Sighing again, Jesus reached the tomb: it was a cave with a stone to close the opening.
39 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ שְׂאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן מֵעָלֶיהָ וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מָרְתָא אֲחוֹת הַמֵּת אֲדֹנִי הִנֵּה כְּבָר בָּאָשׁ כִּי־אַרְבָּעָה יָמִים לוֹ	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.'
40 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ הֲלֹא אָמַרְתִּי לָךְ כִּי אִם־תַּאֲמִינִי תֶּחֱזִי אֶת־כְּבוֹד הָאֱלֹהִים	40 Jesus replied, 'Have I not told you that if you believe you wil see the glory of God?'
41 וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן אֲשֶׁר הַמֵּת הוּשַׂם שָׁם וְיֵשׁוּעַ נָשָׂא אֶת־עֵינָיו לַמָּרוֹם וַיֹּאמַר אוֹדְךָ אָבִי כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי	41 So they took the stone away. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: Father, I thank you for hearingmy prayer.
42 וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי בְכָל־עֵת תַּעֲנֵנִי אוּלָם בַּעֲבוּר הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבוֹתַי דִּבַּרְתִּי לְמַעַן יַאֲמִינוּ בִי כִּי אַתָּה שְׁלַחְתָּנִי	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.
43 וַיְהִי כְּכַלּוֹתוֹ לְדַבֵּר וַיִּקְרָא בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל לַעְזָר קוּם צֵא	43 When he had said this, he cried in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!'
44 וַיֵּצֵא הַמֵּת וְיָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו כְּרוּכֹת בְּתַכְרִיכִין וּפָנָיו לוּטִים בְּמִטְפָּחַת וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ הַתִּירוּ אֹתוֹ וְיֵלֵךְ לְדַרְכּוֹ	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.'
45 וְרַבִּים מִן־הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר בָּאוּ אֶל־מִרְיָם בִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יֵשׁוּעַ הֶאֱמִינוּ בוֹ	45 Many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him,
46 וּמִקְצָתָם הָלְכוּ אֶל־הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיַּגִּידוּ לָהֶם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יֵשׁוּעַ	46 but some of them went to the Pharisees to tel them what Jesus had done.
47 אָז יַקְהִילוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אֶת־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין וַיֹּאמְרוּ מַה־נַּעֲשֶׂה כִּי הָאִישׁ הַלָּזֶה עֹשֶׂה אֹתוֹת הַרְבֵּה	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?
48 אִם־נַנִּיחַ לוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת כֻּלָּם יַאֲמִינוּ בוֹ וּבָאוּ הָרוֹמִיִּים וְלָקְחוּ גַּם אֶת־אַדְמָתֵנוּ וְגַם אֶת־עַמֵּנוּ	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.'
49 וְאֶחָד מֵהֶם קַיָּפָא שְׁמוֹ וְהוּא כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם הֵן לֹא־תֵדְעוּ מְאוּמָה	49 One of them, Caiaphas, the high priest that year, said, 'You do not seem to have grasped thesituation at al ;
50 אַף לֹא־תָבִינוּ כִּי טוֹב לָנוּ מוּת אִישׁ אֶחָד בְּעַד הַגּוֹי מֵאֲבֹד הָעָם כֻּלּוֹ	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.'
51 וְזֹאת לֹא־דִבֶּר מִלִּבּוֹ כִּי אִם־בִּהְיוֹתוֹ כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא נִבָּא כִּי־יֵשׁוּעַ יָמוּת בְּעַד הָעָם	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-
52 וְלֹא־בְעַד הָעָם לְבַד כִּי אִם־לְקַבֵּץ גַּם־אֶת־בְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים הַמְפֻזָּרִים וְהָיוּ לְאֶחָד	52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather together into one the scattered children of God.
53 וַיִּוָּעֲצוּ יַחְדָּו לַהֲמִיתוֹ מֵהַיּוֹם הַהוּא וָהָלְאָה	53 From that day onwards they were determined to kill him.
54 עַל־כֵּן לֹא־הִתְהַלֵּךְ יֵשׁוּעַ עוֹד בְּתוֹךְ הַיְּהוּדִים בַּגָּלוּי כִּי אִם־סָר מִשָּׁם לָאָרֶץ הַקְּרוֹבָה אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּר אֶל־עִיר אֶפְרַיִם וַיָּגָר־שָׁם עִם־תַּלְמִידָיו	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.
55 וַיִּקְרְבוּ יְמֵי הַפֶּסַח לַיְּהוּדִים וְעַם־רַב עָלוּ מִן־הָאָרֶץ יְרוּשָׁלַיְמָה לִפְנֵי הַפֶּסַח לְמַעַן יִטֶּהָרוּ	55 The Jewish Passover was drawing near, and many of the country people who had gone up toJerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves
56 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וּבְעָמְדָם בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ נִדְבְּרוּ לֵאמֹר מַה־תַּחְשְׁבוּ הֲכִי לֹא־יָבוֹא אֶל־הֶחָג	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?'
57 וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים גָּזְרוּ גְזֵרָה אֲשֶׁר אִם־יֵדַע אִישׁ אֶת־מְקוֹמוֹ יוֹדִיעֶנּוּ לְמַעַן יִתְפְּשֻׂהוּ	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.
