¹And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —

¹ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܚܘܗ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܘܕܡܪܬܐ ܀

²and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —

²ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܝ ܕܡܫܚܬ ܒܒܤܡܐ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܘܝܬ ܒܤܥܪܗ ܐܚܘܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ ܀

³therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;`

³ܘܫܕܪܝܢ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܬܗ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܢ ܡܪܢ ܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܟܪܝܗ ܀

⁴and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.`

⁴ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܢܐ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܀

⁵And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

⁵ܡܚܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܪܬܐ ܘܠܡܪܝܡ ܘܠܠܥܙܪ ܀

⁶when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

⁶ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܟܪܝܗ ܟܬܪ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܀

⁷then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;`

⁷ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܬܘ ܢܐܙܠ ܬܘܒ ܠܝܗܘܕ ܀

⁸the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!`

⁸ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܪܒܢ ܗܫܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܪܓܡܟ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܠܬܡܢ ܀

⁹Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܫܥܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܠܟ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܙܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

¹⁰and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.`

¹⁰ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܡܬܬܩܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܗܝܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܀

¹¹These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;`

¹¹ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܙܪ ܪܚܡܢ ܫܟܒ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܥܝܪܝܘܗܝ ܀

¹²therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;`

¹²ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܪܢ ܐܢ ܕܡܟ ܡܬܚܠܡ ܀

¹³but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹³ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܡܘܬܗ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܤܒܪܘ ܕܥܠ ܡܕܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܢܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܀

¹⁴Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

¹⁴ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܠܥܙܪ ܡܝܬ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁵and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;`

¹⁵ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܕܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܠܬܡܢ ܀

¹⁶therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go — we also, that we may die with him,`

¹⁶ܐܡܪ ܬܐܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܐܡܪ ܬܐܡܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܒܪܘܗܝ ܢܐܙܠ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܥܡܗ ܀

¹⁷Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁷ܘܐܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܀

¹⁸And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

¹⁸ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܕ ܦܪܝܩܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܤܛܕܘܬܐ ܚܡܫܬܥܤܪ ܀

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

¹⁹ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܝܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܘܡܪܝܡ ܕܢܡܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܐܚܘܗܝܢ ܀

²⁰Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

²⁰ܡܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܐܬܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܝܬܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܀

²¹Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²¹ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܪܬܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܝ ܐܠܘ ܬܢܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝ ܀

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;`

²²ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܡܐ ܕܬܫܐܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟ ܀

²³Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.`

²³ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܐܡ ܐܚܘܟܝ ܀

²⁴Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;`

²⁴ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܝܕܥܐܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܒܢܘܚܡܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܀

²⁵Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܚܡܐ ܘܚܝܐ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܦܢ ܢܡܘܬ ܢܚܐ ܀

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁶ܘܟܠ ܕܚܝ ܘܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܝ ܗܕܐ ܀

²⁷believest thou this?` she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.`

²⁷ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܀

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;`

²⁸ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܠܬ ܩܪܬ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܚܬܗ ܟܤܝܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܪܒܢ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܟܝ ܀

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

²⁹ܘܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܬ ܩܡܬ ܥܓܠ ܘܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܀

³⁰and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

³⁰ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܬܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܀

³¹the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.`

³¹ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܒܝܐܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܚܙܘ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܕܥܓܠ ܩܡܬ ܢܦܩܬ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܤܒܪܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܩܒܪܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܠܡܒܟܐ ܀

³²Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;`

³²ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܐܬܬ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܚܙܬܗ ܢܦܠܬ ܥܠ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܠܘ ܬܢܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܪܝ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܚܝ ܀

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³³ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܚܙܗ ܕܒܟܝܐ ܘܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܥܡܗ ܕܒܟܝܢ ܐܬܥܙܙ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܘܐܙܝܥ ܢܦܫܗ ܀

³⁴`Where have ye laid him?` they say to him, `Sir, come and see;`

³⁴ܘܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܐ ܤܡܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܬܐ ܚܙܝ ܀

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁵ܘܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܥܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

³⁶The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!`

³⁶ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܚܙܘ ܟܡܐ ܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀

³⁷and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?`

³⁷ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܀

³⁸Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

³⁸ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܡܬܥܙܙ ܒܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܘܗܘ ܒܝܬ ܩܒܘܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܗ ܀

³⁹Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;` the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;`

³⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܩܘܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܬܐ ܚܬܗ ܕܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܤܪܝ ܠܗ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܀

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?`

⁴⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܝ ܕܐܢ ܬܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܬܚܙܝܢ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁴¹They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

⁴¹ܘܫܩܠܘ ܟܐܦܐ ܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܥܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܫܡܥܬܢܝ ܀

⁴²and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.`

⁴²ܘܐܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܫܕܪܬܢܝ ܀

⁴³And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;`

⁴³ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܠܥܙܪ ܬܐ ܠܒܪ ܀

⁴⁴and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.`

⁴⁴ܘܢܦܩ ܗܘ ܡܝܬܐ ܟܕ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܒܦܤܩܝܬܐ ܘܐܦܘܗܝ ܐܤܝܪܢ ܒܤܘܕܪܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܪܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܒܘܩܘ ܐܙܠ ܀

⁴⁵Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁵ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܀

⁴⁶but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁶ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܠܘܬ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁴⁷the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

⁴⁷ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

⁴⁸if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.`

⁴⁸ܘܐܢ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܫܩܠܝܢ ܐܬܪܢ ܘܥܡܢ ܀

⁴⁹and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

⁴⁹ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܗ ܩܝܦܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܀

⁵⁰nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.`

⁵⁰ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܦܩܚ ܠܢ ܕܚܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܢܐܒܕ ܀

⁵¹And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

⁵¹ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܐܬܢܒܝ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܢܡܘܬ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܀

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

⁵²ܘܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܦ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܒܕܪܝܢ ܢܟܢܫ ܠܚܕܐ ܀

⁵³From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

⁵³ܘܡܢ ܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

⁵⁴Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

⁵⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܟܪܟܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܬܡܢ ܡܬܗܦܟ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

⁵⁵And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

⁵⁵ܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܨܚܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܕܡ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܢܕܟܘܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܀

⁵⁶they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?`

⁵⁶ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܀

⁵⁷and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.

⁵⁷ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܦܩܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܕܥ ܐܝܟܘ ܢܒܕܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܀
