Jesus

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it , that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;'

and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.'

Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'

And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you--that he may not come to the feast?'

and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it , so that they may seize him.

Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;

they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;

Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.

Therefore saith one of his disciples--Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up--

Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,

for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'

A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.

On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,

took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, `Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord--the king of Israel;'

and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,

`Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
