Now there was a certain man who was sick, Lazar of Beth-Anya the village, the brother of Maryam and of Martha.

Now this Maryam is the one who anointed the feet of Y'shua with perfume and wiped them with her hair; her brother Lazar was the one who was sick.

And his two sisters sent to Y'shua and said, Our Master, look, he whom you love is sick.

But Y'shua said, This sickness is not of death, but for the glory of Elohim, that the Son of Elohim may be glorified by it.

Now Y'shua loved Martha and Maryam and Lazar.

And when he heard that he was sick, he stayed in the place where he was two days.

And afterwards he said to his disciples: Come, let us go again to Yehuda.

His disciples say to him: Our Rabbi, the Yehudaye were just seeking to stone you; and are you going again there?

Y'shua said to them: Are there not twelve hours in the day? And if a man walks in the daytime, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

These things Y'shua said, and afterwards he said to them: Lazar our friend is lying down. But I am going to awaken him.

His disciples say to him: Our Master, if he is sleeping, he is recovering.

But Y'shua spoke of his death; and they thought he spoke of the sleep of slumber.

Then Y'shua said to them plainly, Lazar is dead.

And I rejoice that I was not there, for your sakes, that you may believe. But let us go there.

Toma, who is called Tama, said to the disciples his companions, Let us also go die with him.

And Y'shua came to Beth-Anya and found that he had been four days in the tomb.

Now Beth-Anya was near Urishlim, about fifteen stadia distant from it.

And many of the Jews were coming to Martha and Maryam to speak to their hearts concerning their brother.

But Martha, when she heard that Y'shua was coming, went out to meet him; but Maryam was sitting in the house.

And Martha said to Y'shua, My Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

But even now I know that whatever you ask of Elohim, he gives you.

Y'shua said to her, Your brother will rise.

Martha said to him, I know that he will rise in the consolation at the last day.

Y'shua said to her: I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live.

And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?

She said to him: Yes, my Master; I believe that you are the Mashiyach, the Son of Elohim, who comes into the world.

And when she said these things, she went and called Maryam her sister secretly, and said to her: Our Rabbi has come, and calls for you.

And Maryam, when she heard it, rose up quickly and was coming to him.

But Y'shua had not yet come into the village, but was in that place where Martha met him.

Those Jews also who were with her in the house consoling her, when they saw that Maryam rose quickly and went out, went after her; for they supposed she was going to the grave to weep.

But Maryam, when she came where Y'shua was and saw him, fell at his feet and said to him: If you had been here, my Master, my brother would not have died.

But Y'shua, when he saw her weeping, and those Jews who came with her weeping, was stirred in his spirit and agitated himself.

And he said: Where have you laid him? And they say to him: Our Master, come, see.

And the tears of Y'shua came.

And the Jews were saying: See how much he loved him.

And some of them said, Could not this one who opened the eyes of that blind man have caused that this one also should not die?

And Y'shua, still agitated within himself, came to the tomb. Now the tomb was a cave, and a stone was laid upon its entrance.

And Y'shua said, Take away this stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, my Master, by now he stinks, for four days have passed for him.

Y'shua said to her, Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of Elohim?

And they took away the stone. And Y'shua raised his eyes upward and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

And I know that you always hear me; but because of this crowd that stands here, I say these things, that they may believe that you sent me.

And when he said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: Lazar, come outside!

And the dead man came outside, his hands and his feet bound with bandages, and his face bound with a cloth. Y'shua said to them: Untie him, and let him go.

And many of the Yehudaye who had come to Maryam, when they saw what Y'shua did, believed in him.

And some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Y'shua did.

And the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled and were saying: What will we do? For this man does many signs.

And if we leave him alone like this, all the people will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

But one of them, whose name was Qayapa, was the high priest of that year, and he said to them: You do not know anything.

And you are not considering that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not that the whole people perish.

But this he did not say from his own mind; rather, because he was the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Y'shua was about to die for the people,

and not only for the people, but also that he might gather into one the children of Elohim who are scattered.

And from that day they plotted to kill him.

But Y'shua was not walking openly among the Yehudaye; instead he went from there to a place near the wilderness, to a town called Ephrayim, and there he was staying with his disciples.

Now the passover of the Judeans was near, and many went up from the villages to Urishlim before the feast, that they might purify themselves.

And they were seeking for Y'shua, and saying one to another in the temple: What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should make it known to them, that they might seize him.
