1ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲱⲛⲓ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϯⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲓ.
1At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2ⲛⲉ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲑⲁϩⲥ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲟϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥϥⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭ ⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲥϥⲱⲓ ⲑⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲟⲛ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ϣⲱⲛⲓ.
2(Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)
3ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲓⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲕⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ϥϣⲱⲛⲓ.
3So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
4ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓⲓⲁⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲓⲁⲃⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲥ.
4When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ.
5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲃ̅.
6So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,
7ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲛ.
7and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
8ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁⲃⲃⲓ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⳿ⲭⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲩ.
8“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
9ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϥϭⲓϭⲣⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
10ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ϣⲁϥϭⲓϭⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲛ.
10But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
11ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲁϥ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ.
11After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲧⲱⲛϥ.
12His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”
13Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲓⲛⲓⲙ.
13They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.
14ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ.
14So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ.
15and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
16Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
17ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲇ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ.
17When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
18ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ.
18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,
19ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ.
19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.
20ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲛⲥ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲏⲓ.
20So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him; but Mary stayed at home.
21ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲕⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
21Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ.
22But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”
23ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲟⲛ.
23“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
24ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲛϥ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
24Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϯ ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ.
25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
26ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ.
26And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯ ⲛⲁϩϯ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
27“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
28ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲥϫⲟϥ ⲁⲥϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲁⲥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ.
28After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
29⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛ ⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ.
29And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
30ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏ ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϯⲙⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁϥⲭⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
30Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
31ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲏⲓ ⲉⲩⲑⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲥϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲥ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲛⲁϩⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
31When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲥϩⲓⲧⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲕⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
32When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ.
33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⲭⲁϥ ⲑⲱⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ.
34“Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.
35ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ϯⲉⲣⲙⲏ.
35Jesus wept.
36ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ϥⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
36Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

37But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”
38Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
38Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
39ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲁϥⲭⲱⲛⲥ ⲡⲉϥⲇ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲫⲟⲟⲩ.
39“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
40ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲧⲉⲣⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
40Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41ⲁⲩⲱⲗⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ϯϣⲉⲡ ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲕ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ.
41So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”

43After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲥⲉⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲇⲁⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϯⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲭⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ.
44The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
45ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
45Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
46ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲉ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲁ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.

49But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
