1 Бѣ́ же нѣ́кто болѧ̀ ла́зарь ѿ виѳа́нїи, ѿ ве́си марі́ины и҆ ма́рѳы сестры̀ є҆ѧ̀. 2 Бѣ́ же марі́а пома́завшаѧ гдⷭ҇а мѵ́ромъ и҆ ѡ҆те́ршаѧ но́зѣ є҆гѡ̀ власы̑ свои́ми, є҆ѧ́же бра́тъ ла́зарь болѧ́ше. 3 Посла́стѣ ᲂу҆̀бо сестрѣ̑ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лющѣ: гдⷭ҇и, сѐ, є҆го́же лю́биши, боли́тъ. 4 Слы́шавъ же і҆и҃съ речѐ: сїѧ̀ болѣ́знь нѣ́сть къ сме́рти, но ѡ҆ сла́вѣ бж҃їи, да просла́витсѧ сн҃ъ бж҃їй є҆ѧ̀ ра́ди. 5 Люблѧ́ше же і҆и҃съ ма́рѳꙋ и҆ сестрꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ ла́зарѧ. 6 Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ боли́тъ, тогда̀ пребы́сть на не́мже бѣ̀ мѣ́стѣ два̀ дни̑. 7 Пото́мъ же гл҃а ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ: и҆́демъ во і҆ꙋде́ю па́ки. 8 Глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀: равві̀, нн҃ѣ и҆ска́хꙋ тебѐ ка́менїемъ поби́ти і҆ꙋде́є, и҆ па́ки ли и҆́деши та́мѡ; 9 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: не два́ ли на́десѧте часа̑ є҆ста̀ во днѝ; а҆́ще кто̀ хо́дитъ во днѝ, не по́ткнетсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ свѣ́тъ мі́ра сегѡ̀ ви́дитъ: 10 а҆́ще же кто̀ хо́дитъ въ нощѝ, по́ткнетсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть свѣ́та въ не́мъ. 11 Сїѧ̑ речѐ и҆ посе́мъ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: ла́зарь дрꙋ́гъ на́шъ ᲂу҆́спе: но и҆дꙋ̀, да возбꙋжꙋ̀ є҆го̀. 12 Рѣ́ша ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀: гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще ᲂу҆́спе, спасе́нъ бꙋ́детъ. 13 Рече́ же і҆и҃съ ѡ҆ сме́рти є҆гѡ̀: ѻ҆ни́ же мнѣ́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆спе́нїи сна̀ гл҃етъ. 14 Тогда̀ речѐ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ: ла́зарь ᲂу҆́мре: 15 и҆ ра́дꙋюсѧ ва́съ ра́ди, да вѣ́рꙋете, ꙗ҆́кѡ не бѣ́хъ та́мѡ: но и҆́демъ къ немꙋ̀. 16 Рече́ же ѳѡма̀, глаго́лемый близне́цъ, ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ: и҆́демъ и҆ мы̀, да ᲂу҆́мремъ съ ни́мъ. 17 Прише́дъ же і҆и҃съ, ѡ҆брѣ́те є҆го̀ четы́ри дни̑ ᲂу҆жѐ и҆мꙋ́ща во гро́бѣ. 18 Бѣ́ же виѳа́нїа бли́з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, ꙗ҆́кѡ ста́дїй пѧтьна́десѧть, 19 и҆ мно́зи ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й бѧ́хꙋ пришлѝ къ ма́рѳѣ и҆ марі́и, да ᲂу҆тѣ́шатъ и҆̀хъ ѡ҆ бра́тѣ є҆ю̀. 20 Ма́рѳа ᲂу҆̀бо є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ грѧде́тъ, срѣ́те є҆го̀: марі́а же до́ма сѣдѧ́ше. 21 Рече́ же ма́рѳа ко і҆и҃сꙋ: гдⷭ҇и, а҆́ще бы є҆сѝ здѣ̀ бы́лъ, не бы̀ бра́тъ мо́й ᲂу҆́мерлъ: 22 но и҆ нн҃ѣ вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще про́сиши ѿ бг҃а, да́стъ тебѣ̀ бг҃ъ. 23 Гл҃а є҆́й і҆и҃съ: воскре́снетъ бра́тъ тво́й. 24 Глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀ ма́рѳа: вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воскре́снетъ въ воскр҃ше́нїе, въ послѣ́днїй де́нь. 25 Рече́ (же) є҆́й і҆и҃съ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь воскр҃ше́нїе и҆ живо́тъ: вѣ́рꙋѧй въ мѧ̀, а҆́ще и҆ ᲂу҆́мретъ, ѡ҆живе́тъ: 26 и҆ всѧ́къ живы́й и҆ вѣ́рꙋѧй въ мѧ̀ не ᲂу҆́мретъ во вѣ́ки.

Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Among all the miracles wrought by our Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of Lazarus holds a foremost place in preaching. But if we consider attentively who did it, our duty is to rejoice rather than to wonder.

When, therefore, we read in the Gospel that the hard-heartedness of the Jews moved Him to sorrowful indignation, that He said, "I am glad for your sakes, to the intent ye may believe," that when about to raise Lazarus He even shed tears, that He earnestly desired to eat the passover with His disciples, that as His passion drew near …

… Lazarus, added also a prayer; and then, lest this should make Him appear less than Him that begat Him, He, to correct this suspicion, added, "I said these things, because of the people which standeth by, that they may believe that thou hast sent me." And neither doth He work all things as one who acted by His own power, …
