Tyndale - John - 11

11:1  A certayne man was sicke named Lazarus of Bethania the toune of Mary and her sister Martha.

11:2  It was that Mary which annoynted Iesus with oyntment and wyped his fete with her heere whose brother Lazarus was sicke

11:3  and his sisters sent vnto him sayinge. Lorde behold he whom thou lovest is sicke.

11:4  When Iesus hearde yt he sayd: this infirmite is not vnto deth but for ye laude of God that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it.

11:5  Iesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

11:6  After he hearde that he was sicke then aboode he two dayes still in the same place where he was.

11:7  Then after that sayd he to his disciples: let us goo into Iewry agayne.

11:8  His disciples sayde vnto him. Master the Iewes lately sought meanes to stone the and wilt thou goo thyther agayne?

11:9  Iesus answered: are ther not twelve houres in ye daye? Yf a man walke in ye daye he stombleth not because he seith the lyght of this worlde.

11:10  But yf a ma walke in ye nyght he stombleth because ther is no lyght in him.

11:11  This sayde he and after yt he sayde vnto the: oure frende Lazarus slepeth but I goo to wake him out of slepe.

11:12  Then sayde his disciples: Lorde yf he slepe he shall do well ynough.

11:13  How be it Iesus spake of his deeth: but they thought yt he had spoke of ye naturall slepe.

11:14  Then sayde Iesus vnto the playnly Lazarus is deed

11:15  and I am glad for youre sakes yt I was not there because ye maye beleve. Neverthelesse let vs go vnto him.

11:16  Then sayde Thomas which is called Dydimus vnto ye disciples: let vs also goo that we maye dye wt him

11:17  Then went Iesus and founde that he had lyne in his grave foure dayes already.

11:18  Bethanie was nye vnto Ierusalem aboute. xv. furlonges of

11:19  and many of the Iewes were come to Martha and Mary to comforte them over their brother.

11:20  Martha assone as she hearde yt Iesus was comynge went and met him: but Mary sate still in the housse.

11:21  Then sayde Martha vnto Iesus: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed:

11:22  but neverthelesse I knowe that whatsoever thou axest of God God will geve it the.

11:23  Iesus sayde vnto her: Thy brother shall ryse agayne.

11:24  Martha sayde vnto him: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurreccion at the last daye.

11:25  Iesus sayde vnto her: I am the resurreccion and the lyfe: He that beleveth on me ye though he were deed yet shall he lyve.

11:26  And whosoever lyveth and belevest on me shall never dye. Beleveth thou this?

11:27  She sayde vnto him: ye Lorde I beleve that thou arte Christ the sonne of god which shuld come into the worlde.

11:28  And assone as she had so sayde she went her waye and called Marie her sister secretly sayinge: The master is come and calleth for the

11:29  And she assone as she hearde that arose quickly and came vnto him.

11:30  Iesus was not yet come into the toune: but was in the place where Martha met him.

11:31  The Iewes then which were with her in the housse and comforted her when they sawe Mary that she rose vp hastely and went out folowed her saying: She goeth vnto the grave to wepe there.

11:32  Then when Mary was come where Iesus was and sawe him she fell doune at his fete sayinge vnto him: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed.

11:33  When Iesus sawe her wepe and ye Iewes also wepe which came wt her he groned in ye sprete and was troubled in him selfe

11:34  and sayde: Where have ye layed him? They sayde vnto him: Lorde come and se.

11:35  And Iesus wept.

11:36  Then sayde the Iewes: Beholde howe he loved him.

11:37  And some of the sayde: coulde not he which openned the eyes of the blynde have made also that this man shuld not have dyed?

11:38  Iesus agayne groned in him selfe and came to the grave. It was a caue and a stone layde on it.

11:39  And Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed sayd vnto him: Lorde by this tyme he stinketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes:

11:40  Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto the yt if thou didest beleve thou shuldest se ye glory of God.

11:41  Then they toke awaye ye stone from ye place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes and sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me.

11:42  I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it yt they maye beleve that thou hast sent me.

11:43  And when he thus had spoken he cryed wt a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe.

11:44  And he that was deed came forth bounde hand and fote with grave bondes and his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto the: loowse him and let him goo.

11:45  Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary and had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd beleved on him.

11:46  But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises and tolde them what Iesus had done.

11:47  Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This ma doeth many miracles.

11:48  Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and ye Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people.

11:49  And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest yt same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all

11:50  nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs that one man dye for the people and not that all the people perisshe.

11:51  This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people

11:52  and not for the people only but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode.

11:53  From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder for to put him to deeth.

11:54  Iesus therfore walked no more opely amoge the Iewes: but wet his waye thence vnto a coutre nye to a wildernes into a cite called Ephraim and there hauted with his disciples.

11:55  And the Iewes ester was nye at hand and many went out of the countre vp to Ierusalem before the ester to purify them selves.

11:56  Then sought they for Iesus and spake bitwene the selves as they stode in the teple: What thinke ye seynge he cometh not to the feast.

11:57  The hye prestes and Pharises had geven a comaundemet that yf eny man knew where he were he shuld shewe it that they myght take him.
