Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
1ην δε τισ ασθενων λαζαροσ απο βηθανιασ εκ τησ κωμησ μαριασ και μαρθασ τησ αδελφησ αυτησ
2It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
2ην δε μαρια η αλειψασα τον κυριον μυρω και εκμαξασα τουσ ποδασ αυτου ταισ θριξιν αυτησ ησ ο αδελφοσ λαζαροσ ησθενει
3The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
3απεστειλαν ουν αι αδελφαι προσ αυτον λεγουσαι κυριε ιδε ον φιλεισ ασθενει
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.”
4ακουσασ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτη η ασθενεια ουκ εστιν προσ θανατον αλλ υπερ τησ δοξησ του θεου ινα δοξασθη ο υιοσ του θεου δι αυτησ
5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
5ηγαπα δε ο ιησουσ την μαρθαν και την αδελφην αυτησ και τον λαζαρον
6When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
6ωσ ουν ηκουσεν οτι ασθενει τοτε μεν εμεινεν εν ω ην τοπω δυο ημερασ
7Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
7επειτα μετα τουτο λεγει τοισ μαθηταισ αγωμεν εισ την ιουδαιαν παλιν
8The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
8λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται ραββι νυν εζητουν σε λιθασαι οι ιουδαιοι και παλιν υπαγεισ εκει
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.
9απεκριθη ιησουσ ουχι δωδεκα εισιν ωραι τησ ημερασ εαν τισ περιπατη εν τη ημερα ου προσκοπτει οτι το φωσ του κοσμου τουτου βλεπει
10But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
10εαν δε τισ περιπατη εν τη νυκτι προσκοπτει οτι το φωσ ουκ εστιν εν αυτω
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.”
11ταυτα ειπεν και μετα τουτο λεγει αυτοισ λαζαροσ ο φιλοσ ημων κεκοιμηται αλλα πορευομαι ινα εξυπνισω αυτον
12The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
12ειπον ουν οι μαθηται αυτου κυριε ει κεκοιμηται σωθησεται
13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
13ειρηκει δε ο ιησουσ περι του θανατου αυτου εκεινοι δε εδοξαν οτι περι τησ κοιμησεωσ του υπνου λεγει
14So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
14τοτε ουν ειπεν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ παρρησια λαζαροσ απεθανεν
15I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
15και χαιρω δι υμασ ινα πιστευσητε οτι ουκ ημην εκει αλλα αγωμεν προσ αυτον
16Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
16ειπεν ουν θωμασ ο λεγομενοσ διδυμοσ τοισ συμμαθηταισ αγωμεν και ημεισ ινα αποθανωμεν μετ αυτου
17So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
17ελθων ουν ο ιησουσ ευρεν αυτον τεσσαρασ ημερασ ηδη εχοντα εν τω μνημειω
18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
18ην δε η βηθανια εγγυσ των ιεροσολυμων ωσ απο σταδιων δεκαπεντε
19Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
19και πολλοι εκ των ιουδαιων εληλυθεισαν προσ τασ περι μαρθαν και μαριαν ινα παραμυθησωνται αυτασ περι του αδελφου αυτων
20Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
20η ουν μαρθα ωσ ηκουσεν οτι ιησουσ ερχεται υπηντησεν αυτω μαρια δε εν τω οικω εκαθεζετο
21Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
21ειπεν ουν μαρθα προσ τον ιησουν κυριε ει ησ ωδε ο αδελφοσ μου ουκ αν ετεθνηκει
22Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
22αλλα και νυν οιδα οτι οσα αν αιτηση τον θεον δωσει σοι ο θεοσ
23Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
23λεγει αυτη ο ιησουσ αναστησεται ο αδελφοσ σου
24Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
24λεγει αυτω μαρθα οιδα οτι αναστησεται εν τη αναστασει εν τη εσχατη ημερα
25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
25ειπεν αυτη ο ιησουσ εγω ειμι η αναστασισ και η ζωη ο πιστευων εισ εμε καν αποθανη ζησεται
26Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
26και πασ ο ζων και πιστευων εισ εμε ου μη αποθανη εισ τον αιωνα πιστευεισ τουτο
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.”
27λεγει αυτω ναι κυριε εγω πεπιστευκα οτι συ ει ο χριστοσ ο υιοσ του θεου ο εισ τον κοσμον ερχομενοσ
28When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
28και ταυτα ειπουσα απηλθεν και εφωνησεν μαριαν την αδελφην αυτησ λαθρα ειπουσα ο διδασκαλοσ παρεστιν και φωνει σε
29When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
29εκεινη ωσ ηκουσεν εγειρεται ταχυ και ερχεται προσ αυτον
30Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
30ουπω δε εληλυθει ο ιησουσ εισ την κωμην αλλ ην εν τω τοπω οπου υπηντησεν αυτω η μαρθα
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.”
31οι ουν ιουδαιοι οι οντεσ μετ αυτησ εν τη οικια και παραμυθουμενοι αυτην ιδοντεσ την μαριαν οτι ταχεωσ ανεστη και εξηλθεν ηκολουθησαν αυτη λεγοντεσ οτι υπαγει εισ το μνημειον ινα κλαυση εκει
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.”
32η ουν μαρια ωσ ηλθεν οπου ην ο ιησουσ ιδουσα αυτον επεσεν αυτου εισ τουσ ποδασ λεγουσα αυτω κυριε ει ησ ωδε ουκ αν απεθανεν μου ο αδελφοσ
33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
33ιησουσ ουν ωσ ειδεν αυτην κλαιουσαν και τουσ συνελθοντασ αυτη ιουδαιουσ κλαιοντασ ενεβριμησατο τω πνευματι και εταραξεν εαυτον
34and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
34και ειπεν που τεθεικατε αυτον λεγουσιν αυτω κυριε ερχου και ιδε
35Jesus wept.
35εδακρυσεν ο ιησουσ
36The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
36ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι ιδε πωσ εφιλει αυτον
37Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
37τινεσ δε εξ αυτων ειπον ουκ ηδυνατο ουτοσ ο ανοιξασ τουσ οφθαλμουσ του τυφλου ποιησαι ινα και ουτοσ μη αποθανη
38Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
38ιησουσ ουν παλιν εμβριμωμενοσ εν εαυτω ερχεται εισ το μνημειον ην δε σπηλαιον και λιθοσ επεκειτο επ αυτω
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.”
39λεγει ο ιησουσ αρατε τον λιθον λεγει αυτω η αδελφη του τεθνηκοτοσ μαρθα κυριε ηδη οζει τεταρταιοσ γαρ εστιν
40Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
40λεγει αυτη ο ιησουσ ουκ ειπον σοι οτι εαν πιστευσησ οψει την δοξαν του θεου
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.
41ηραν ουν τον λιθον ου ην ο τεθνηκωσ κειμενοσ ο δε ιησουσ ηρεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ ανω και ειπεν πατερ ευχαριστω σοι οτι ηκουσασ μου
42I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
42εγω δε ηδειν οτι παντοτε μου ακουεισ αλλα δια τον οχλον τον περιεστωτα ειπον ινα πιστευσωσιν οτι συ με απεστειλασ
43When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
43και ταυτα ειπων φωνη μεγαλη εκραυγασεν λαζαρε δευρο εξω
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.”
44και εξηλθεν ο τεθνηκωσ δεδεμενοσ τουσ ποδασ και τασ χειρασ κειριαισ και η οψισ αυτου σουδαριω περιεδεδετο λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ λυσατε αυτον και αφετε υπαγειν
45Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
45πολλοι ουν εκ των ιουδαιων οι ελθοντεσ προσ την μαριαν και θεασαμενοι α εποιησεν ο ιησουσ επιστευσαν εισ αυτον
46But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
46τινεσ δε εξ αυτων απηλθον προσ τουσ φαρισαιουσ και ειπον αυτοισ α εποιησεν ο ιησουσ
47The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
47συνηγαγον ουν οι αρχιερεισ και οι φαρισαιοι συνεδριον και ελεγον τι ποιουμεν οτι ουτοσ ο ανθρωποσ πολλα σημεια ποιει
48If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
48εαν αφωμεν αυτον ουτωσ παντεσ πιστευσουσιν εισ αυτον και ελευσονται οι ρωμαιοι και αρουσιν ημων και τον τοπον και το εθνοσ
49But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
49εισ δε τισ εξ αυτων καιαφασ αρχιερευσ ων του ενιαυτου εκεινου ειπεν αυτοισ υμεισ ουκ οιδατε ουδεν
50nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
50ουδε διαλογιζεσθε οτι συμφερει ημιν ινα εισ ανθρωποσ αποθανη υπερ του λαου και μη ολον το εθνοσ αποληται
51Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
51τουτο δε αφ εαυτου ουκ ειπεν αλλα αρχιερευσ ων του ενιαυτου εκεινου προεφητευσεν οτι εμελλεν ιησουσ αποθνησκειν υπερ του εθνουσ
52and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
52και ουχ υπερ του εθνουσ μονον αλλ ινα και τα τεκνα του θεου τα διεσκορπισμενα συναγαγη εισ εν
53So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
53απ εκεινησ ουν τησ ημερασ συνεβουλευσαντο ινα αποκτεινωσιν αυτον
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.
54ιησουσ ουν ουκετι παρρησια περιεπατει εν τοισ ιουδαιοισ αλλα απηλθεν εκειθεν εισ την χωραν εγγυσ τησ ερημου εισ εφραιμ λεγομενην πολιν κακει διετριβεν μετα των μαθητων αυτου
55Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
55ην δε εγγυσ το πασχα των ιουδαιων και ανεβησαν πολλοι εισ ιεροσολυμα εκ τησ χωρασ προ του πασχα ινα αγνισωσιν εαυτουσ
56Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
56εζητουν ουν τον ιησουν και ελεγον μετ αλληλων εν τω ιερω εστηκοτεσ τι δοκει υμιν οτι ου μη ελθη εισ την εορτην
57Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
57δεδωκεισαν δε και οι αρχιερεισ και οι φαρισαιοι εντολην ινα εαν τισ γνω που εστιν μηνυση οπωσ πιασωσιν αυτον
