PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Beše pak jedan bolesnik, Lazar iz Vitanije iz sela Marije i Marte, sestre njene.
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
1 Ἦν δέ τις ἀσθενῶν Λάζαρος ἀπὸ Βηθανίας, ἐκ τῆς κώμης Μαρίας καὶ Μάρθας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς.
2 (A Marija, koje brat Lazar bolovaše, beše ona što pomaza Gospoda mirom i otre noge Njegove svojom kosom.)
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
2 ἦν δὲ Μαρία ἡ ἀλείψασα τὸν Κύριον μύρῳ καὶ ἐκμάξασα τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς, ἧς ὁ ἀδελφὸς Λάζαρος ἠσθένει.
3 Onda poslaše sestre k Njemu govoreći: Gospode! Gle, onaj koji Ti je mio bolestan je.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
3 ἀπέστειλαν οὖν αἱ ἀδελφαὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσαι· Κύριε, ἴδε ὃν φιλεῖς ἀσθενεῖ.
4 A kad ču Isus, reče: Ova bolest nije na smrt, nego na slavu Božiju, da se proslavi Sin Božji s nje.
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.”
4 ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· αὕτη ἡ ἀσθένεια οὐκ ἔστι πρὸς θάνατον, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὲρ τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ δι᾽ αὐτῆς.
5 A Isus ljubljaše Martu i sestru njenu i Lazara.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
5 ἠγάπα δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν Μάρθαν καὶ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον.
6 A kad ču da je bolestan, tada osta dva dana na onom mestu gde beše.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
6 ὡς οὖν ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἀσθενεῖ, τότε μὲν ἔμεινεν ἐν ᾧ ἦν τόπῳ δύο ἡμέρας·
7 A potom reče učenicima: Hajdemo opet u Judeju.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
7 ἔπειτα μετὰ τοῦτο λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς· ἄγωμεν εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν πάλιν.
8 Učenici Mu rekoše: Ravi! Sad Judejci htedoše da Te ubiju kamenjem, pa opet hoćeš da ideš onamo?
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
8 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί· ῥαββί, νῦν ἐζήτουν σε λιθάσαι οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ πάλιν ὑπάγεις ἐκεῖ;
9 Isus odgovori: Nije li dvanaest sahata u danu? Ko danju ide ne spotiče se, jer vidi videlo ovog sveta;
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.
9 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· οὐχὶ δώδεκά εἰσιν ὧραι τῆς ἡμέρας; ἐάν τις περιπατῇ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, οὐ προσκόπτει, ὅτι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου τούτου βλέπει·
10 a ko ide noću spotiče se, jer nema videla u njemu.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
10 ἐὰν δέ τις περιπατῇ ἐν τῇ νυκτί, προσκόπτει, ὅτι τὸ φῶς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ.
11 Ovo kaza, i potom im reče: Lazar, naš prijatelj, zaspa; nego idem da ga probudim.
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.”
11 ταῦτα εἶπε, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο λέγει αὐτοῖς· Λάζαρος ὁ φίλος ἡμῶν κεκοίμηται· ἀλλὰ πορεύομαι ἵνα ἐξυπνίσω αὐτόν.
12 Onda Mu rekoše učenici Njegovi: Gospode! Ako je zaspao, ustaće.
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
12 εἶπον οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· Κύριε, εἰ κεκοίμηται, σωθήσεται.
13 A Isus im reče za smrt njegovu, a oni mišljahu da govori za spavanje sna.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
13 εἰρήκει δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς περὶ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ· ἐκεῖνοι δὲ ἔδοξαν ὅτι περὶ τῆς κοιμήσεως τοῦ ὕπνου λέγει.
14 Tada im Isus kaza upravo: Lazar umre.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
14 τότε οὖν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς παρρησίᾳ· Λάζαρος ἀπέθανε,
15 I milo mi je vas radi što nisam bio onamo da verujete; nego hajdemo k njemu.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
15 καὶ χαίρω δι᾽ ὑμᾶς, ἵνα πιστεύσητε, ὅτι οὐκ ἤμην ἐκεῖ· ἀλλ᾽ ἄγωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν.
16 Onda Toma, koji se zvaše Blizanac, reče učenicima: Hajdemo i mi da pomremo s njim.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
16 εἶπεν οὖν Θωμᾶς ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος τοῖς συμμαθηταῖς· ἄγωμεν καὶ ἡμεῖς ἵνα ἀποθάνωμεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
17 A kad dođe Isus nađe ga, a on već četiri dana u grobu.
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
17 Ἐλθὼν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εὗρεν αὐτὸν τέσσαρας ἡμέρας ἤδη ἔχοντα ἐν τῷ μνημείῳ.
18 (A Vitanija beše blizu Jerusalima oko petnaest potrkališta.)
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
18 ἦν δὲ ἡ Βηθανία ἐγγὺς τῶν Ἱεροσολύμων ὡς ἀπὸ σταδίων δεκαπέντε,
19 I mnogi od Judejaca behu došli k Marti i Mariji da ih teše za bratom njihovim.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
19 καὶ πολλοὶ ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐληλύθεισαν πρὸς τὰς περὶ Μάρθαν καὶ Μαρίαν ἵνα παραμυθήσωνται αὐτὰς περὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῶν.
20 Kad Marta dakle ču da Isus ide, izađe preda Nj, a Marija seđaše doma.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
20 ἡ οὖν Μάρθα ὡς ἤκουσεν ὅτι ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔρχεται, ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ· Μαρία δὲ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ἐκαθέζετο.
21 Onda reče Marta Isusu: Gospode! Da si Ti bio ovde ne bi moj brat umro.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
21 εἶπεν οὖν [ἡ] Μάρθα πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν· Κύριε, εἰ ἦς ὧδε, ὁ ἀδελφός μου οὐκ ἂν ἐτεθνήκει.
22 A i sad znam da šta zaišteš u Boga daće ti Bog.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
22 ἀλλὰ καὶ νῦν οἶδα ὅτι ὅσα ἂν αἰτήσῃ τὸν Θεόν, δώσει σοι ὁ Θεός.
23 Isus joj reče: Brat će tvoj ustati.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
23 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀναστήσεται ὁ ἀδελφός σου.
24 Marta Mu reče: Znam da će ustati o vaskrsenju, u poslednji dan.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
24 λέγει αὐτῷ Μάρθα· οἶδα ὅτι ἀναστήσεται ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
25 A Isus joj reče: Ja sam vaskrsenje i život; koji veruje mene ako i umre živeće.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
25 εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀνάστασις καὶ ἡ ζωή.
26 I nijedan koji živi i veruje mene neće umreti vavek. Veruješ li ovo?
26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
26 ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ, κἂν ἀποθάνῃ, ζήσεται· καὶ πᾶς ὁ ζῶν καὶ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. πιστεύεις τοῦτο;
27 Reče Mu: Da, Gospode! Ja verovah da si Ti Hristos, Sin Božji koji je trebalo da dođe na svet.
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.”
27 λέγει αὐτῷ· ναί, Κύριε, ἐγὼ πεπίστευκα ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐρχόμενος.
28 I ovo rekavši otide te zovnu tajno Mariju, sestru svoju govoreći: Učitelj je došao, i zove te.
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
28 καὶ ταῦτα εἰποῦσα ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἐφώνησε Μαρίαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς λάθρᾳ εἰποῦσα· ὁ διδάσκαλος πάρεστι καὶ φωνεῖ σε.
29 A ona kad ču, usta brzo i otide k Njemu.
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
29 ἐκείνη ὡς ἤκουσεν, ἐγείρεται ταχὺ καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτόν.
30 Jer Isus još ne beše došao u selo, nego beše na onom mestu gde Ga srete Marta.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
30 οὔπω δὲ ἐληλύθει ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν κώμην, ἀλλ᾽ ἦν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ὅπου ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ἡ Μάρθα.
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.
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.”
31 οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι οἱ ὄντες μετ᾽ αὐτῆς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ παραμυθούμενοι αὐτήν, ἰδόντες τὴν Μαρίαν ὅτι ταχέως ἀνέστη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῇ, λέγοντες ὅτι ὑπάγει εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον ἵνα κλαύσῃ ἐκεῖ.
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.
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.”
32 ἡ οὖν Μαρία ὡς ἦλθεν ὅπου ἦν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἰδοῦσα αὐτὸν ἔπεσεν αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς πόδας λέγουσα αὐτῷ· Κύριε, εἰ ἦς ὧδε, οὐκ ἂν ἀπέθανέ μου ὁ ἀδελφός.
33 Onda Isus kad je vide gde plače, i gde plaču Judejci koji dođoše s njom, zgrozi se u duhu, i sam postade žalostan.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
33 Ἰησοῦς οὖν ὡς εἶδεν αὐτὴν κλαίουσαν καὶ τοὺς συνελθόντας αὐτῇ Ἰουδαίους κλαίοντας, ἐνεβριμήσατο τῷ πνεύματι καὶ ἐτάραξεν ἑαυτόν,
34 I reče: Gde ste ga metnuli? Rekoše Mu: Gospode! Hajde da vidiš.
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
34 καὶ εἶπε· ποῦ τεθείκατε αὐτόν; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Κύριε, ἔρχου καὶ ἴδε.
36 Onda Judejci govorahu: Gledaj kako ga ljubljaše,
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
36 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· ἴδε πῶς ἐφίλει αὐτόν·
37 a neki od njih rekoše: Ne mogaše li ovaj koji otvori oči slepcu učiniti da i ovaj ne umre?
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?”
37 τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶπον· οὐκ ἠδύνατο οὗτος, ὁ ἀνοίξας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ τυφλοῦ, ποιῆσαι ἵνα καὶ οὗτος μὴ ἀποθάνῃ;
38 A Isus opet se zgrozi u sebi, i dođe na grob; a beše pećina, i kamen ležaše na njoj.
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
38 Ἰησοῦς οὖν, πάλιν ἐμβριμώμενος ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ἔρχεται εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον· ἦν δὲ σπήλαιον, καὶ λίθος ἐπέκειτο ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ.
39 Isus reče: Uzmite kamen. Reče Mu Marta, sestra onog što je umro: Gospode! Već smrdi; jer su četiri dana kako je umro.
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.”
39 λέγει ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἄρατε τὸν λίθον. λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ ἀδελφὴ τοῦ τεθνηκότος Μάρθα· Κύριε, ἤδη ὄζει· τεταρταῖος γάρ ἐστι.
40 Isus joj reče: Ne rekoh li ti da ako veruješ videćeš slavu Božju?
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
40 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οὐκ εἶπόν σοι ὅτι ἐὰν πιστεύσῃς, ὄψει τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ;
41 Uzeše, dakle, kamen gde ležaše mrtvac; a Isus podiže oči gore, i reče: Oče! Hvala Ti što si me uslišio.
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.
41 ἦραν οὖν τὸν λίθον οὗ ἦν ὁ τεθνηκὼς κείμενος. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἦρε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἄνω καὶ εἶπε· πάτερ, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι ἤκουσάς μου.
42 A ja znadoh da me svagda slušaš; nego rekoh naroda radi koji ovde stoji, da veruju da si me Ti poslao.
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.”
42 ἐγὼ δὲ ᾔδειν ὅτι πάντοτέ μου ἀκούεις· ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον τὸν περιεστῶτα εἶπον, ἵνα πιστεύσωσιν ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας.
43 I ovo rekavši zovnu glasno: Lazare! Iziđi napolje.
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
43 καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐκραύγασε· Λάζαρε, δεῦρο ἔξω.
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.
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.”
44 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ τεθνηκὼς δεδεμένος τοὺς πόδας καὶ τὰς χεῖρας κειρίαις, καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ σουδαρίῳ περιεδέδετο. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· λύσατε αὐτὸν καὶ ἄφετε ὑπάγειν.
45 Onda mnogi od Judejaca koji behu došli k Mariji i videše šta učini Isus, verovaše Ga.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
45 Πολλοὶ οὖν ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς τὴν Μαρίαν καὶ θεασάμενοι ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.
46 A neki od njih otidoše k farisejima i kazaše im šta učini Isus.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
46 τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπῆλθον πρὸς τοὺς Φαρισαίους καὶ εἶπον αὐτοῖς ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς.
47 Onda glavari sveštenički i fariseji sabraše skupštinu, i govorahu: Šta ćemo činiti? Čovek ovaj čini mnoga čudesa.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
47 συνήγαγον οὖν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συνέδριον καὶ ἔλεγον· τί ποιοῦμεν, ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολλὰ σημεῖα ποιεῖ;
48 Ako ga ostavimo tako, svi će ga verovati; pa će doći Rimljani i uzeti nam zemlju i narod.
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.”
48 ἐὰν ἀφῶμεν αὐτὸν οὕτω, πάντες πιστεύσουσιν εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλεύσονται οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι καὶ ἀροῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ τὸ ἔθνος.
49 A jedan od njih, po imenu Kajafa, koji one godine beše poglavar sveštenički, reče im: Vi ne znate ništa;
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
49 εἷς δέ τις ἐξ αὐτῶν Καϊάφας, ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε οὐδέν,
50 i ne mislite da je nama bolje da jedan čovek umre za narod, negoli da narod sav propadne.
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.”
50 οὐδὲ διαλογίζεσθε ὅτι συμφέρει ἡμῖν ἵνα εἷς ἄνθρωπος ἀποθάνῃ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ ἔθνος ἀπόληται.
51 A ovo ne reče sam od sebe, nego, budući poglavar sveštenički one godine, proreče da Isusu valja umreti za narod;
51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
51 τοῦτο δὲ ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ οὐκ εἶπεν, ἀλλὰ ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου προεφήτευσεν ὅτι ἔμελλεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀποθνήσκειν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἔθνους,
52 i ne samo za narod, nego da i rasejanu decu Božiju skupi ujedno.
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
52 καὶ οὐχ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἔθνους μόνον, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα καὶ τὰ τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ τὰ διεσκορπισμένα συναγάγῃ εἰς ἕν.
53 Od toga, dakle, dana dogovoriše se da Ga ubiju.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
53 ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνης οὖν τῆς ἡμέρας συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτόν.
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.
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.
54 Ἰησοῦς οὖν οὐκέτι παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν χώραν ἐγγὺς τῆς ἐρήμου, εἰς Ἐφραὶμ λεγομένην πόλιν, κἀκεῖ διέτριβε μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ.
55 A beše blizu pasha jevrejska, i mnogi iz onog kraja dođoše u Jerusalim pre pashe da se očiste.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
55 ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς τὸ πάσχα τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πολλοὶ εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἐκ τῆς χώρας πρὸ τοῦ πάσχα ἵνα ἁγνίσωσιν ἑαυτούς.
56 Tada tražahu Isusa, i stojeći u crkvi govorahu među sobom: Šta mislite vi zašto ne dolazi na praznik?
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?”
56 ἐζήτουν οὖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἔλεγον μετ᾽ ἀλλήλων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἑστηκότες· τί δοκεῖ ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν;
57 A glavari sveštenički i fariseji izdaše zapovest ako Ga ko opazi gde je, da javi da Ga uhvate.
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.
57 δεδώκεισαν δὲ καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἐντολὴν ἵνα ἐάν τις γνῷ ποῦ ἐστι, μηνύσῃ, ὅπως πιάσωσιν αὐτόν.

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).

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, …
