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

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).

  1. Commentary 11:1 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter XI — 1-54)

    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.

    Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 7 (1888)

  2. Commentary 11:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of John (Homily LXII)

    Many men, when they see any of those who are pleasing to God suffering anything terrible, as, for instance, having fallen into sickness, or poverty, and any other the like, are offended, not knowing that to those especially dear to God it belongeth to endure these things; since Lazarus also was one of the friends of Christ, and was sick.

    Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 14 (1889)

  3. Quotes verse 11:54 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapter XXI)
