\subsection{John 11}
\subsubsection{The Death of Lazarus}
\lettrine[lraise=0]{N}{ow}\normalfont{} someone was being sick, 
Lazarus from Bethany, 
from the town of Mariam and Martha her sister. 
\VS{2} Now it was Mariam the [one] having anointed the Lord 
with perfume and having wiped his feet with her hair, 
whose brother Lazarus was sick. 
\VS{3} So the sisters sent to Jesus saying: 
Lord, behold, whom you philia-love is sick. 
\VS{4} Now Jesus having heard said: 
This [one] being sick is not to death but for the glory of God, 
in order that the Son of God be glorified through it. 
\VS{5} And Jesus agape-loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 

\VS{6} So as he heard that he is sick, 
then indeed he abided in the place where he was [for] two days. 
\VS{7} Thereupon after this he says to the disciples: Let us go to Judea again. 
\VS{8} The disciples say to him: 
Rabbi, now the Jews were seeking to stone you, and you again go back there? 
\VS{9} Jesus answered: Aren't there twelve hours in the day? 
If anyone walk in the day, he does not stumble, 
because he sees the light of this world. 
\VS{10} But if he walk in the night, 
he stumbles, because the light is not in him. 

\VS{11} He spoke these [things] and after this he says to them: 
Lazarus our friend\footnote{PHILOS} 
has fallen asleep. But I go in order that I may awaken him. 
\VS{12} So the disciples said to him: 
Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will be saved. 
\VS{13} But Jesus had spoken concerning his death. 
But they supposed that he speaks concerning the sleep of slumber. 
\VS{14} So then Jesus said to them bluntly: Lazarus has died, 
\VS{15} and I rejoice for [you], in order that you believe --- 
because I was not there; but let us go to him. 
\VS{16} So Thomas the [one] being called Didimus said to the fellow-disciples: 
Let us also go in order that we may die with him. 

\VS{17} So, coming, Jesus found him already having four days in the tomb.%
\footnote{According to Jewish belief, 
the soul of a person was thought to hover around the body 
for a short time after death. 
But once the body begins to corrupt and the features change, 
usually by the fourth day, that is a sign that the soul has departed, 
and corruption is irreversible.} 
\VS{18} Now Bethany was near Jerusalem from [about] fifteen stadions.%
\footnote{stadion = 1/4 mile, so this would be about 3 3/4 miles} 
\VS{19} Now many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mariam, 
in order that they console them concerning [their] brother. 
\VS{20} So Martha, as she heard that Jesus comes, met him; 
but Mariam was sitting in the house. 
\VS{21} So Martha said to Jesus: Lord, 
if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 
\VS{22} And now I know that as much as you ask\fnAiteo{} God, God will give to you. 
\VS{23} Jesus says to her: Your brother will be resurrected. 
\VS{24} Martha says to him: 
I know that he will be resurrected in the resurrection in the last day. 
\VS{25} Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the \zoe{}-life\fnZoe{}. 
The [one] trusting in me even if he die he will \zoe{}-live, 
\VS{26} and everyone \zoe{}-living and trusting in me 
will \negd{not} die to eternity. Do you trust this? 
\VS{27} She says to him: 
Yes Lord, I have trusted that you are the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], 
the Son of God, the [one] coming into the Cosmos. 

\VS{28} And having said this she departed 
and called Mariam her sister saying privately: 
The teacher is present and calls you. 
\VS{29} Now as she heard, she rose swiftly and was going to him. 
\VS{30} For Jesus was not yet come into the town, 
but was still in the place where Martha met him. 
\VS{31} So the Jews being with her in the house and consoling her, 
having seen that Mariam swiftly arose and went out, 
followed her having supposed that she departs to the tomb 
in order that she may weep there. 
\VS{32} So Mariam, as she came where Jesus was, having seen him, 
she fell before him at his feet, saying to him: 
Lord, if you were here, my brother would not have died. 

\VS{33} So Jesus, as he saw her weeping, and the Jews having come with her weeping, 
he was deeply moved in [his] spirit and troubled himself, 
\VS{34} and said: Where have you placed him? They say to him, 
Lord, be coming and behold. 
\VS{35} Jesus wept. 
\VS{36} So the Jews were saying: Behold how he was philia-loving him. 
\VS{37} But some of them said: 
Wasn't this [one] having opened the eyes of the blind 
able to do also in order that this [one] not die? 

\subsubsection{Lazarus Raised From the Dead}
\VS{38} So Jesus, again being deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. 
Now it was [a] cave, and [a] stone was lying upon it. 
\VS{39} Jesus says: Remove the stone. 
Martha the sister of the [one] having died says to him: 
Lord, he stinks already, for it is the fourth [day]. 
\VS{40} Jesus says to her: Did I not say to you that: 
If you trust, you will see the glory of God? 
\VS{41} So they removed the stone. 
Now Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: 
Father, I thank you that you heard me. 
\VS{42} For I have known that you always hear me, 
but because of the crowd standing around I spoke, 
in order that they believe that you have sent me. 
\VS{43} And having said these [things] he cried out with [a] great voice: 
Lazarus! Come out! 
\VS{44} And the [one] having been dead came out, 
his feet and hands having been bound with bandages, 
and his face was bound with [a] handkerchief. 
Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him be going.

\subsubsection{The Response of the Jewish Leaders}
\VS{45} So, many of the Jews, the [ones] having come to Mariam 
and having seen what he did, trusted in him. 
\VS{46} But some of them departed to the Pharisees 
and told them what Jesus did. 
\VS{47} So the chief-priests and the Pharisees gathered council%
\footnote{SANEDRION} 
and were saying: 
What do we do, for this man does many signs? 
\VS{48} If we allow him thusly, all will trust in him, and the 
Romans will come and take both our place and nation. 

\VS{49} But [a] certain one of them, Caiphas, being chief-priest of that year, 
said to them: You know \negd{nothing}, 
\VS{50} nor consider that it profits you that one person 
die in behalf of the people, and the whole nation not perish\fnApollumi{}. 
\VS{51} But he did not say this from himself, 
but being chief-priest of that year 
he prophesied that Jesus was [about] to be dying in behalf of the nation, 
\VS{52} and not in behalf of the nation only, 
but in order that the children of God having been scattered be gathered into one. 
\VS{53} So from that day they resolved that they kill him. 

\VS{54} So Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, 
but departed from there to the region near the wilderness, 
to [a] city being called Ephraim, and there he abided with the disciples. 
\VS{55} Now it was near the Passover of the Jews, 
and many went up to Jerusalem from the region, before the passover, 
in order that they may purify themselves. 
\VS{56} So they were seeking Jesus and were saying with each other, 
having stood in the temple: 
What does it seem to you, that he \negd{not} come to the festival? 
\VS{57} But the chief-priests and the Pharisees had given commandments 
that if anyone knows where he is he report it, in order that they arrest him.
