1ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲱⲛⲓ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϯⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲓ.
1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of 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.
2It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲓⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲕⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ϥϣⲱⲛⲓ.
3The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection 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.
4But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by 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.
6When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

7Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

8The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϥϭⲓϭⲣⲟⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
9Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ϣⲁϥϭⲓϭⲣⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲛ.
10But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲁϥ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ.
11He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
12ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲧⲱⲛϥ.
12The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲓⲛⲓⲙ.
13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲍⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ.
14So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ.
15I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
16Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲇ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ.
17So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18ⲃⲏⲑⲁⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲧⲁⲇⲓⲟⲛ.
18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲡⲉ ϩⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ.
19Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲛⲥ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲏⲓ.
20Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲕⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲥⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
21Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲛ ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫϯ.
22Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲱⲛϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲟⲛ.
23Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

24Martha said to him, “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. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲧⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ.
26Whoever 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.
27She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲥϫⲟϥ ⲁⲥϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲉⲥⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲡ ⳿ⲉⲁⲥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ.
28When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲛⲥ ⳿ⲛ ⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ.
29When she heard this, she arose 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 come into the village, but was in the place where Martha 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.
31Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep 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.
32Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
33Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲥⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲁϥ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ.
33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,

34and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

35Jesus wept.

36The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”

37Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
38Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲃⲏⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲱⲛⲓ ⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
38Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲣⲑⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲧⲥⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲁϥⲭⲱⲛⲥ ⲡⲉϥⲇ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲫⲟⲟⲩ.
39Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲧⲉⲣⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
40Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
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 from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

43When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

45Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

46But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

47The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

49But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

51Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

52and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

54Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
