Jefus anfwered them, "Is it not written in your Law, I faid, Ye are gods? 35. If he called them gods, " unto whom the word of God came, and the fcripture cannot be broken : 36. Say ye of him, whom the Father hath fan&tified, and fent into the world, Thou blafphemeft; because I faid, I am the Son of God? 37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39. Therefore they fought again to take him but he escaped out of their hand. 40. And went away again beyond Jordan, into the place where John at firft baptized; and there he abode. 41.

Therefore his fifters fent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is fick. 4. When Jefus heard that, he faid, This fickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 5. Now Jefus loved Martha, and her fifter, and Lazarus. 6. When he had heard therefore that he was fick, he abode two days ftill in the fame place where he was. 7. Then after that, faith he to his difciples, Let us go into Judea again. 8. His difciples fay unto him, Mafter, the Jews of late fought to f ftone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9. Jefus anfwered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he ftumbleth not, because he feeth the light of this world. 10. But hif a man walk in the night, he ftumbleth, because there is no light in him. 11. These things faid he: and after that he faith unto them, Our friend Lazarusi fleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of fleep. 12. Then faid his difciples, Lord, if he fleep, he fhall do well. 13. Howbeit Jefus fpake of his death: but they thought that he had fpoken of taking of reft in fleep. 14. Then faid Jefus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15. And I am glad for your fakes, that I was not there (to the intent ye may believe) nevertheless, let us go unto him. 16. Then faid Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow-difciples, Let us alfo go, that we may die with him. 17.

(Now Bethany, was nigh unto Jerufalem, * about fifteen furlongs off)[That is, about two miles] 19. And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20. Then Martha, as foon as fhe heard that Jefus was coming, went and met him: but Mary fat ftill in the house. 21. Then faid Martha unto Jefus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22. But I know, that even now whatfoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23. Jefus faith unto her, Thy brother fhall rife again. 24. Martha faid unto him, I know that he fhall rife again in the refurrection at the laft day. 25. Jefus faid unto her, I am the refurrection and the life: m he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet fhall he live; 26. And whofoever liveth, and believeth in me, fhall never die. Believeft thou this? 27. She faith unto him, Yea, Lord: P I believe that thou art the Chrift the Son of God, which fhould come into the world. 28. And when he had fo faid, fhe went her way, and called Mary her fifter fecretly, faying, The Mafter is come, and calleth for thee. 29. As foon as fhe heard that, fhe arofe quickly, and came unto him. 30. Now Jefus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31. The Jews then which were with her in the houfe, and comforted her, when they faw Mary that she rofe up hastily, and went out, followed her, faying, She goeth unto the grave, to weep there. 32. Then when Mary was come where Jefus was, and faw him, fhe fell down at his feet, faying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had the Juft. * ο **Luk.14.14.

When Jefus therefore faw her weeping, and the Jews alfo weeping which came with her, he groaned in the fpirit, and was troubled [Gr. he troubled himself], 34 And faid, Where have ye laid him? They faid unto him, Lord, come and fee. 35. Jefus wept. 36. Then faid the Jews, Behold how he loved him. 37. And fome of them faid, Could not this man which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man fhould not have died? 38. Jefus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a ftone lay upon it. 39. Jefus faid, Take ye away the ftone. Martha, the fifter of him that was dead, faith unto him, Lord, by this time he ftinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40. Jefus faith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldft believe, that thou fhouldft fee the glory of God. 41. Then they took away the ftone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jefus lift up his eyes, and faid, Father, I thank thee that thou haft heard me. 42. And I knew that thou heareft me always: but because of the people which ftand by, I faid it, that they may believe that thou haft fent me. 43. And when he thus had fpoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus fcome forth. 44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jefus faith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had a feen the things which Jefus did, believed on him. 46. But fome of them went their ways to the Pharifees, and told them what things Jefus had done. 47. Then gathered the chief Priests and the Pha g તે e h at Luk. 19. 41.

And one of them named Caiaphas, being the high Prieft that fame year, faid unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50. Nor confider that it is "expedient for us, that one man fhould die for the People, and that the whole nation perish not. 51. And this fpake he not of himself: but being high prieft that year, he prophefied that Jefus fhould die for that nation: 52. And for that P nation only, but that alfo he fhould gather together in one, the children of God that were fcattered abroad. 33. Then from that day forth, they took counsel together for to put him to death. 54. Jefus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the Wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his difciples. 55. And the Jews paffover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerufalem before the paffover, to purifie themfelves. 56. Then " fought they for Jefus, and fpake among themselves, as they ftood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feaft? 57. Now both the chief priests Joh. 12. 19. † A&s 4. 16.
