1 Beše pak jedan bolesnik, Lazar iz Vitanije iz sela Marije i Marte, sestre njene. 2 (A Marija, koje brat Lazar bolovaše, beše ona što pomaza Gospoda mirom i otre noge Njegove svojom kosom.) 3 Onda poslaše sestre k Njemu govoreći: Gospode! Gle, onaj koji Ti je mio bolestan je. 4 A kad ču Isus, reče: Ova bolest nije na smrt, nego na slavu Božiju, da se proslavi Sin Božji s nje. 5 A Isus ljubljaše Martu i sestru njenu i Lazara. 6 A kad ču da je bolestan, tada osta dva dana na onom mestu gde beše. 7 A potom reče učenicima: Hajdemo opet u Judeju. 8 Učenici Mu rekoše: Ravi! Sad Judejci htedoše da Te ubiju kamenjem, pa opet hoćeš da ideš onamo? 9 Isus odgovori: Nije li dvanaest sahata u danu? Ko danju ide ne spotiče se, jer vidi videlo ovog sveta; 10 a ko ide noću spotiče se, jer nema videla u njemu. 11 Ovo kaza, i potom im reče: Lazar, naš prijatelj, zaspa; nego idem da ga probudim. 12 Onda Mu rekoše učenici Njegovi: Gospode! Ako je zaspao, ustaće. 13 A Isus im reče za smrt njegovu, a oni mišljahu da govori za spavanje sna. 14 Tada im Isus kaza upravo: Lazar umre. 15 I milo mi je vas radi što nisam bio onamo da verujete; nego hajdemo k njemu. 16 Onda Toma, koji se zvaše Blizanac, reče učenicima: Hajdemo i mi da pomremo s njim. 17 A kad dođe Isus nađe ga, a on već četiri dana u grobu. 18 (A Vitanija beše blizu Jerusalima oko petnaest potrkališta.) 19 I mnogi od Judejaca behu došli k Marti i Mariji da ih teše za bratom njihovim. 20 Kad Marta dakle ču da Isus ide, izađe preda Nj, a Marija seđaše doma. 21 Onda reče Marta Isusu: Gospode! Da si Ti bio ovde ne bi moj brat umro. 22 A i sad znam da šta zaišteš u Boga daće ti Bog. 23 Isus joj reče: Brat će tvoj ustati. 24 Marta Mu reče: Znam da će ustati o vaskrsenju, u poslednji dan. 25 A Isus joj reče: Ja sam vaskrsenje i život; koji veruje mene ako i umre živeće. 26 I nijedan koji živi i veruje mene neće umreti vavek. Veruješ li ovo? 27 Reče Mu: Da, Gospode! Ja verovah da si Ti Hristos, Sin Božji koji je trebalo da dođe na svet. 28 I ovo rekavši otide te zovnu tajno Mariju, sestru svoju govoreći: Učitelj je došao, i zove te. 29 A ona kad ču, usta brzo i otide k Njemu. 30 Jer Isus još ne beše došao u selo, nego beše na onom mestu gde Ga srete Marta. 31 A Judejci onda koji behu s njom u kući i tešahu je, kad videše Mariju da brzo usta i iziđe, pođoše za njom govoreći da ide na grob da plače onamo. 32 A Marija kako dođe gde beše Isus, i vide Ga, pade na noge Njegove govoreći Mu: Gospode! Da si Ti bio ovde, ne bi umro moj brat. 33 Onda Isus kad je vide gde plače, i gde plaču Judejci koji dođoše s njom, zgrozi se u duhu, i sam postade žalostan. 34 I reče: Gde ste ga metnuli? Rekoše Mu: Gospode! Hajde da vidiš. 35 Udariše suze Isusu. 36 Onda Judejci govorahu: Gledaj kako ga ljubljaše, 37 a neki od njih rekoše: Ne mogaše li ovaj koji otvori oči slepcu učiniti da i ovaj ne umre? 38 A Isus opet se zgrozi u sebi, i dođe na grob; a beše pećina, i kamen ležaše na njoj. 39 Isus reče: Uzmite kamen. Reče Mu Marta, sestra onog što je umro: Gospode! Već smrdi; jer su četiri dana kako je umro. 40 Isus joj reče: Ne rekoh li ti da ako veruješ videćeš slavu Božju? 41 Uzeše, dakle, kamen gde ležaše mrtvac; a Isus podiže oči gore, i reče: Oče! Hvala Ti što si me uslišio. 42 A ja znadoh da me svagda slušaš; nego rekoh naroda radi koji ovde stoji, da veruju da si me Ti poslao. 43 I ovo rekavši zovnu glasno: Lazare! Iziđi napolje. 44 I iziđe mrtvac obavit platnom po rukama i po nogama, i lice njegovo ubrusom povezano. Isus im reče: Razrešite ga i pustite nek ide. 45 Onda mnogi od Judejaca koji behu došli k Mariji i videše šta učini Isus, verovaše Ga. 46 A neki od njih otidoše k farisejima i kazaše im šta učini Isus. 47 Onda glavari sveštenički i fariseji sabraše skupštinu, i govorahu: Šta ćemo činiti? Čovek ovaj čini mnoga čudesa. 48 Ako ga ostavimo tako, svi će ga verovati; pa će doći Rimljani i uzeti nam zemlju i narod. 49 A jedan od njih, po imenu Kajafa, koji one godine beše poglavar sveštenički, reče im: Vi ne znate ništa; 50 i ne mislite da je nama bolje da jedan čovek umre za narod, negoli da narod sav propadne. 51 A ovo ne reče sam od sebe, nego, budući poglavar sveštenički one godine, proreče da Isusu valja umreti za narod; 52 i ne samo za narod, nego da i rasejanu decu Božiju skupi ujedno. 53 Od toga, dakle, dana dogovoriše se da Ga ubiju. 54 A Isus više ne hođaše javno po Judejcima, nego odande otide u kraj blizu pustinje u grad po imenu Jefrem, i onde hođaše s učenicima svojim. 55 A beše blizu pasha jevrejska, i mnogi iz onog kraja dođoše u Jerusalim pre pashe da se očiste. 56 Tada tražahu Isusa, i stojeći u crkvi govorahu među sobom: Šta mislite vi zašto ne dolazi na praznik? 57 A glavari sveštenički i fariseji izdaše zapovest ako Ga ko opazi gde je, da javi da Ga uhvate.

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.

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.

Then, when He had raised Lazarus from the dead, and plots were formed against Him by the Pharisees, He withdrew to a city called Ephraim; and from that place, as it is written "He came to Bethany six days before the passover," and going up from Bethany to Jerusalem, He there ate the passover, and suffered on the day following.
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, …
