1 Беше пак један болесник, Лазар из Витаније из села Марије и Марте, сестре њене.
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 (А Марија, које брат Лазар боловаше, беше она што помаза Господа миром и отре ноге Његове својом косом.)
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 Онда послаше сестре к Њему говорећи: Господе! Гле, онај који Ти је мио болестан је.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 А кад чу Исус, рече: Ова болест није на смрт, него на славу Божију, да се прослави Син Божји с ње.
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 А Исус љубљаше Марту и сестру њену и Лазара.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 А кад чу да је болестан, тада оста два дана на оном месту где беше.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 А потом рече ученицима: Хајдемо опет у Јудеју.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Ученици Му рекоше: Рави! Сад Јудејци хтедоше да Те убију камењем, па опет хоћеш да идеш онамо?
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Исус одговори: Није ли дванаест сахата у дану? Ко дању иде не спотиче се, јер види видело овог света;
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 а ко иде ноћу спотиче се, јер нема видела у њему.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11 Ово каза, и потом им рече: Лазар, наш пријатељ, заспа; него идем да га пробудим.
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 Онда Му рекоше ученици Његови: Господе! Ако је заспао, устаће.
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 А Исус им рече за смрт његову, а они мишљаху да говори за спавање сна.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Тада им Исус каза управо: Лазар умре.
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 И мило ми је вас ради што нисам био онамо да верујете; него хајдемо к њему.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Онда Тома, који се зваше Близанац, рече ученицима: Хајдемо и ми да помремо с њим.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 А кад дође Исус нађе га, а он већ четири дана у гробу.
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 (А Витанија беше близу Јерусалима око петнаест потркалишта.)
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 И многи од Јудејаца беху дошли к Марти и Марији да их теше за братом њиховим.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Кад Марта дакле чу да Исус иде, изађе преда Њ, а Марија сеђаше дома.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Онда рече Марта Исусу: Господе! Да си Ти био овде не би мој брат умро.
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22 А и сад знам да шта заиштеш у Бога даће ти Бог.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Исус јој рече: Брат ће твој устати.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Марта Му рече: Знам да ће устати о васкрсењу, у последњи дан.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 А Исус јој рече: Ја сам васкрсење и живот; који верује мене ако и умре живеће.
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 И ниједан који живи и верује мене неће умрети вавек. Верујеш ли ово?
26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 Рече Му: Да, Господе! Ја веровах да си Ти Христос, Син Божји који је требало да дође на свет.
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 И ово рекавши отиде те зовну тајно Марију, сестру своју говорећи: Учитељ је дошао, и зове те.
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 А она кад чу, уста брзо и отиде к Њему.
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Јер Исус још не беше дошао у село, него беше на оном месту где Га срете Марта.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 А Јудејци онда који беху с њом у кући и тешаху је, кад видеше Марију да брзо уста и изиђе, пођоше за њом говорећи да иде на гроб да плаче онамо.
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 А Марија како дође где беше Исус, и виде Га, паде на ноге Његове говорећи Му: Господе! Да си Ти био овде, не би умро мој брат.
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 Онда Исус кад је виде где плаче, и где плачу Јудејци који дођоше с њом, згрози се у духу, и сам постаде жалостан.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 И рече: Где сте га метнули? Рекоше Му: Господе! Хајде да видиш.
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Ударише сузе Исусу.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Онда Јудејци говораху: Гледај како га љубљаше,
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 а неки од њих рекоше: Не могаше ли овај који отвори очи слепцу учинити да и овај не умре?
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 А Исус опет се згрози у себи, и дође на гроб; а беше пећина, и камен лежаше на њој.
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Исус рече: Узмите камен. Рече Му Марта, сестра оног што је умро: Господе! Већ смрди; јер су четири дана како је умро.
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 Исус јој рече: Не рекох ли ти да ако верујеш видећеш славу Божју?
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Узеше, дакле, камен где лежаше мртвац; а Исус подиже очи горе, и рече: Оче! Хвала Ти што си ме услишио.
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 А ја знадох да ме свагда слушаш; него рекох народа ради који овде стоји, да верују да си ме Ти послао.
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 И ово рекавши зовну гласно: Лазаре! Изиђи напоље.
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 И изиђе мртвац обавит платном по рукама и по ногама, и лице његово убрусом повезано. Исус им рече: Разрешите га и пустите нек иде.
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 Онда многи од Јудејаца који беху дошли к Марији и видеше шта учини Исус, вероваше Га.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 А неки од њих отидоше к фарисејима и казаше им шта учини Исус.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Онда главари свештенички и фарисеји сабраше скупштину, и говораху: Шта ћемо чинити? Човек овај чини многа чудеса.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Ако га оставимо тако, сви ће га веровати; па ће доћи Римљани и узети нам земљу и народ.
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 А један од њих, по имену Кајафа, који оне године беше поглавар свештенички, рече им: Ви не знате ништа;
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 и не мислите да је нама боље да један човек умре за народ, неголи да народ сав пропадне.
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 А ово не рече сам од себе, него, будући поглавар свештенички оне године, прорече да Исусу ваља умрети за народ;
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 и не само за народ, него да и расејану децу Божију скупи уједно.
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 Од тога, дакле, дана договорише се да Га убију.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 А Исус више не хођаше јавно по Јудејцима, него оданде отиде у крај близу пустиње у град по имену Јефрем, и онде хођаше с ученицима својим.
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 А беше близу пасха јеврејска, и многи из оног краја дођоше у Јерусалим пре пасхе да се очисте.
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 Тада тражаху Исуса, и стојећи у цркви говораху међу собом: Шта мислите ви зашто не долази на празник?
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 А главари свештенички и фарисеји издаше заповест ако Га ко опази где је, да јави да Га ухвате.
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).
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, …
