Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Ἦν δέ τις ἀσθενῶν Λάζαρος ἀπὸ Βηθανίας, ἐκ τῆς κώμης Μαρίας καὶ Μάρθας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς.
Ēn de tis asthenōn Lazaros apo Bēthanias, ek tēs kōmēs Marias kai Marthas tēs adelphēs autēs.
Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with fragrant perfume and wiped His feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Ἦν δὲ Μαρία ἡ ἀλείψασα τὸν κύριον μύρῳ, καὶ ἐκμάξασα τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς, ἧς ὁ ἀδελφὸς Λάζαρος ἠσθένει.
Ēn de Maria hē aleipsasa ton kyrion myrō, kai ekmaxasa tous podas autou tais thrixin autēs, hēs ho adelphos Lazaros ēsthenei.
So the sisters sent word to Jesus: “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Ἀπέστειλαν οὖν αἱ ἀδελφαὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσαι, Κύριε, ἴδε ὃν φιλεῖς ἀσθενεῖ.
Apesteilan oun hai adelphai pros auton legousai, Kyrie, ide hon phileis asthenei.
When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not ultimately end in death. It will display the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, Αὕτη ἡ ἀσθένεια οὐκ ἔστιν πρὸς θάνατον, ἀλλ’ ὑπὲρ τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ δι’ αὐτῆς.

Jesus loved Martha, her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Ἠγάπα δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν Μάρθαν καὶ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον.
Ēgapa de ho Iēsous tēn Marthan kai tēn adelphēn autēs kai ton Lazaron.
Yet when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He remained where He was for two more days.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
Ὡς οὖν ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἀσθενεῖ, τότε μὲν ἔμεινεν ἐν ᾧ ἦν τόπῳ δύο ἡμέρας.

Then He told His disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
Ἔπειτα μετὰ τοῦτο λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς, Ἄγωμεν εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν πάλιν.
Epeita meta touto legei tois mathētais, Agōmen eis tēn Ioudaian palin.
The disciples said, “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone You, and You want to go back there?”
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί, Ῥαββί, νῦν ἐζήτουν σε λιθάσαι οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ πάλιν ὑπάγεις ἐκεῖ;

Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks during the day does not stumble because he can see by the light of this world.
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς, Οὐχὶ δώδεκά εἰσιν ὧραι τῆς ἡμέρας; Ἐάν τις περιπατῇ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, οὐ προσκόπτει, ὅτι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου τούτου βλέπει.
Apekrithē Iēsous, Ouchi dōdeka eisin hōrai tēs hēmeras? Ean tis peripatē en tē hēmera, ou proskoptei, hoti to phōs tou kosmou toutou blepei.
But anyone who walks at night stumbles because he has no light.”
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
Ἐὰν δέ τις περιπατῇ ἐν τῇ νυκτί, προσκόπτει, ὅτι τὸ φῶς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ.
Ean de tis peripatē en tē nykti, proskoptei, hoti to phōs ouk estin en autō.
After saying this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Ταῦτα εἶπεν, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο λέγει αὐτοῖς, Λάζαρος ὁ φίλος ἡμῶν κεκοίμηται∙ ἀλλὰ πορεύομαι ἵνα ἐξυπνίσω αὐτόν.
Tauta eipen, kai meta touto legei autois, Lazaros ho philos hēmōn kekoimētai; alla poreuomai hina exypnisō auton.
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover.”
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Εἶπον οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, Κύριε, εἰ κεκοίμηται, σωθήσεται.
Eipon oun hoi mathētai autou, Kyrie, ei kekoimētai, sōthēsetai.
Jesus had been speaking about Lazarus’ death, but they thought He meant ordinary sleep.
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Εἰρήκει δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς περὶ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ∙ ἐκεῖνοι δὲ ἔδοξαν ὅτι περὶ τῆς κοιμήσεως τοῦ ὕπνου λέγει.
Eirēkei de ho Iēsous peri tou thanatou autou; ekeinoi de edoxan hoti peri tēs koimēseōs tou hypnou legei.
So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Τότε οὖν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς παρρησίᾳ, Λάζαρος ἀπέθανεν.
Tote oun eipen autois ho Iēsous parrēsia, Lazaros apethanen.
And for your sake, I am glad I was not there, because what is about to happen will help you believe. Now let’s go to him.”
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Καὶ χαίρω δι’ ὑμᾶς, ἵνα πιστεύσητε, ὅτι οὐκ ἤμην ἐκεῖ∙ ἀλλὰ ἄγωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν.

Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to the other disciples, “Let’s go too, so we can die with Him.”
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Εἶπεν οὖν Θωμᾶς, ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος, τοῖς συμμαθηταῖς, Ἄγωμεν καὶ ἡμεῖς, ἵνα ἀποθάνωμεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

When Jesus arrived, He learned that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

Bethany was only about two miles from Jerusalem,
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Ἦν δὲ ἡ Βηθανία ἐγγὺς τῶν Ἱεροσολύμων, ὡς ἀπὸ σταδίων δεκαπέντε∙
Ēn de hē Bēthania engys tōn Hierosolymōn, hōs apo stadiōn dekapente;
and many Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them after the death of their brother.
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
καὶ πολλοὶ ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐληλύθεισαν πρὸς τὰς περὶ Μάρθαν καὶ Μαρίαν, ἵνα παραμυθήσωνται αὐτὰς περὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῶν.

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him. Mary remained sitting in the house.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
Ἡ οὖν Μάρθα, ὡς ἤκουσεν ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἔρχεται, ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ∙ Μαρία δὲ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ἐκαθέζετο.

Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Εἶπεν οὖν Μάρθα πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, Κύριε, εἰ ἦς ὧδε, ὁ ἀδελφός μου οὐκ ἂν ἐτεθνήκει.

But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
Ἀλλὰ καὶ νῦν οἶδα ὅτι ὅσα ἂν αἰτήσῃ τὸν θεόν, δώσει σοι ὁ θεός.
Alla kai nyn oida hoti hosa an aitēsē ton theon, dōsei soi ho theos.
Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀναστήσεται ὁ ἀδελφός σου.
Legei autē ho Iēsous, Anastēsetai ho adelphos sou.
Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Λέγει αὐτῷ Μάρθα, Οἶδα ὅτι ἀναστήσεται ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
Legei autō Martha, Oida hoti anastēsetai en tē anastasei en tē eschatē hēmera.
Jesus said to her, “I AM the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in Me will live even if he dies.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀνάστασις καὶ ἡ ζωή∙ ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ, κἂν ἀποθάνῃ, ζήσεται∙
Eipen autē ho Iēsous, Egō eimi hē anastasis kai hē zōē; ho pisteuōn eis eme, kan apothanē, zēsetai;
And everyone who is alive and believes in Me will never ultimately die. Do you believe this?”
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
καὶ πᾶς ὁ ζῶν καὶ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ, οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Πιστεύεις τοῦτο;
kai pas ho zōn kai pisteuōn eis eme, ou mē apothanē eis ton aiōna. Pisteueis touto?
She answered, “Yes, Lord. I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God—the One who was promised to come into the world.”
She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Λέγει αὐτῷ, Ναί, κύριε∙ ἐγὼ πεπίστευκα, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστός, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, ὁ εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐρχόμενος.
Legei autō, Nai, kyrie; egō pepisteuka, hoti sy ei ho christos, ho huios tou theou, ho eis ton kosmon erchomenos.
After saying this, Martha went back and quietly told her sister Mary, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Καὶ ταῦτα εἰποῦσα ἀπῆλθεν, καὶ ἐφώνησεν Μαρίαν τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς λάθρᾳ, εἰποῦσα, Ὁ διδάσκαλος πάρεστιν καὶ φωνεῖ σε.
Kai tauta eipousa apēlthen, kai ephōnēsen Marian tēn adelphēn autēs lathra, eipousa, Ho didaskalos parestin kai phōnei se.
As soon as Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Ἐκείνη ὡς ἤκουσεν, ἐγείρεται ταχὺ καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτόν.
Ekeinē hōs ēkousen, egeiretai tachy kai erchetai pros auton.
Jesus had not yet entered the village but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Οὔπω δὲ ἐληλύθει ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν κώμην, ἀλλ’ ἦν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ὅπου ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ἡ Μάρθα.

The Jewish people who were in the house comforting Mary saw her get up quickly and leave, so they followed her, thinking she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
Οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι οἱ ὄντες μετ’ αὐτῆς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ παραμυθούμενοι αὐτήν, ἰδόντες τὴν Μαρίαν ὅτι ταχέως ἀνέστη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῇ, λέγοντες ὅτι Ὑπάγει εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, ἵνα κλαύσῃ ἐκεῖ.

When Mary reached Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Ἡ οὖν Μαρία, ὡς ἦλθεν ὅπου ἦν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἰδοῦσα αὐτόν, ἔπεσεν αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς πόδας λέγουσα αὐτῷ, Κύριε, εἰ ἦς ὧδε, οὐκ ἂν ἀπέθανέν μου ὁ ἀδελφός.

When Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the people who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in His spirit and troubled.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Ἰησοῦς οὖν ὡς εἶδεν αὐτὴν κλαίουσαν, καὶ τοὺς συνελθόντας αὐτῇ Ἰουδαίους κλαίοντας, ἐνεβριμήσατο τῷ πνεύματι, καὶ ἐτάραξεν ἑαυτόν,

He asked, “Where have you laid him?”
They answered, “Lord, come and see.”
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

The people said, “Look how much He loved him!”
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, Ἴδε πῶς ἐφίλει αὐτόν.
Elegon oun hoi Ioudaioi, Ide pōs ephilei auton.
But some said, “Couldn’t the Man who opened the blind man’s eyes have kept Lazarus from dying?”
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶπον, Οὐκ ἠδύνατο οὗτος, ὁ ἀνοίξας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ τυφλοῦ, ποιῆσαι ἵνα καὶ οὗτος μὴ ἀποθάνῃ;
Tines de ex autōn eipon, Ouk ēdynato houtos, ho anoixas tous ophthalmous tou typhlou, poiēsai hina kai houtos mē apothanē?
Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone covering the entrance.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Ἰησοῦς οὖν πάλιν ἐμβριμώμενος ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔρχεται εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον. Ἦν δὲ σπήλαιον, καὶ λίθος ἐπέκειτο ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.

Jesus said, “Move the stone away.”
Martha, the dead man’s sister, said, “Lord, by now there will be a terrible odor. He has been dead for four days.”
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
Λέγει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἄρατε τὸν λίθον. Λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ ἀδελφὴ τοῦ τεθνηκότος Μάρθα, Κύριε, ἤδη ὄζει∙ τεταρταῖος γάρ ἐστιν.
Legei ho Iēsous, Arate ton lithon. Legei autō hē adelphē tou tethnēkotos Martha, Kyrie, ēdē ozei; tetartaios gar estin.
Jesus answered, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐκ εἶπόν σοι ὅτι ἐὰν πιστεύσῃς, ὄψει τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ;
Legei autē ho Iēsous, Ouk eipon soi hoti ean pisteusēs, opsei tēn doxan tou theou?
So they moved the stone away from where the dead man had been placed.
Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
Ἦραν οὖν τὸν λίθον, οὗ ἦν ὁ τεθνηκὼς κείμενος. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἦρεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἄνω, καὶ εἶπεν, Πάτερ, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι ἤκουσάς μου.

I know that You always hear Me, but I said this because of the people standing here, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Ἐγὼ δὲ ᾔδειν ὅτι πάντοτέ μου ἀκούεις∙ ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον τὸν περιεστῶτα εἶπον, ἵνα πιστεύσωσιν ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας.

After saying this, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Καὶ ταῦτα εἰπών, φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐκραύγασεν, Λάζαρε, δεῦρο ἔξω.
Kai tauta eipōn, phōnē megalē ekraugasen, Lazare, deuro exō.
The man who had been dead came out. His hands and feet were wrapped in burial cloths, and his face was wrapped with a cloth.
Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ τεθνηκώς, δεδεμένος τοὺς πόδας καὶ τὰς χεῖρας κειρίαις, καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ σουδαρίῳ περιεδέδετο. Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Λύσατε αὐτόν, καὶ ἄφετε ὑπάγειν.

Many of the Jewish people who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in Him.
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Πολλοὶ οὖν ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς τὴν Μαρίαν καὶ θεασάμενοι ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

So the chief priests and Pharisees called the ruling council together and said, “What are we going to do? This Man is performing many miraculous signs!
¶ Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
Συνήγαγον οὖν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συνέδριον, καὶ ἔλεγον, Τί ποιοῦμεν; Ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολλὰ σημεῖα ποιεῖ.

If we leave Him alone, everyone will believe in Him. Then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, “You people understand nothing!
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Εἷς δέ τις ἐξ αὐτῶν Καϊάφας, ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε οὐδέν,

Don’t you realize that it is better for one Man to die for the people than for the entire nation to be destroyed?”
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
οὐδὲ διαλογίζεσθε ὅτι συμφέρει ἡμῖν ἵνα εἷς ἄνθρωπος ἀποθάνῃ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ ἔθνος ἀπόληται.

He did not say this entirely from himself. Because he was high priest that year, he unknowingly prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation—
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Τοῦτο δὲ ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ οὐκ εἶπεν, ἀλλὰ ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου, προεφήτευσεν ὅτι ἔμελλεν Ἰησοῦς ἀποθνῄσκειν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἔθνους,

And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

From that day forward, they began making definite plans to kill Jesus.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

Because of this, Jesus no longer moved openly among the Jewish leaders. Instead, He left that region and went to a place near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where He stayed with His disciples.
Jesus 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 disciples.
Ἰησοῦς οὖν οὐκέτι παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν χώραν ἐγγὺς τῆς ἐρήμου, εἰς Ἐφραῒμ λεγομένην πόλιν, κἀκεῖ διέτριβεν μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ.

The Jewish Passover was approaching, and many people from the countryside went up to Jerusalem before the Passover to go through the required purification.
¶ And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς τὸ Πάσχα τῶν Ἰουδαίων∙ καὶ ἀνέβησαν πολλοὶ εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἐκ τῆς χώρας πρὸ τοῦ Πάσχα, ἵνα ἁγνίσωσιν ἑαυτούς.
Ēn de engys to Pascha tōn Ioudaiōn; kai anebēsan polloi eis Hierosolyma ek tēs chōras pro tou Pascha, hina hagnisōsin heautous.
They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the Temple, “What do you think? Will He come to the festival or not?”

Ezētoun oun ton Iēsoun, kai elegon met’ allēlōn en tō hierō hestēkotes, Ti dokei hymin? Hoti ou mē elthē eis tēn heortēn?
The chief priests and Pharisees had ordered that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it so they could arrest Him.

Δεδώκεισαν δὲ καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἐντολήν, ἵνα ἐάν τις γνῷ ποῦ ἐστιν, μηνύσῃ, ὅπως πιάσωσιν αὐτόν.
Dedōkeisan de kai hoi archiereis kai hoi Pharisaioi entolēn, hina ean tis gnō pou estin, mēnysē, hopōs piasōsin auton.
