The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 50: John: The Challoner Revision
Bible. John
11:35. And Jesus wept.
11:36. The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.
11:37. But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the
man born blind have caused that this man should not die?
11:38. Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the
sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.
11:39. Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that
was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of
four days.
11:40. Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee that if thou believe,
thou shalt see the glory of God?
11:41. They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his
eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.
11:42. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people
who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast
sent me.
11:43. When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice:
Lazarus, come forth.
11:44. And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and
hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go.
11:45. Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and
had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
11:46. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things
that Jesus had done.
11:47. The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a
council and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?
11:48. If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans
will come, and take away our place and nation.
11:49. But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year,
said to them: You know nothing.
11:50. Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man
should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not.
11:51. And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of
that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.
11:52. And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the
children of God that were dispersed.
11:53. From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.
11:54. Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews: but he went
into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem. And
there he abode with his disciples.
11:55. And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and many from the country
went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch, to purify themselves.
11:56. They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with
another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to
the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a
commandment that, if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that
they might apprehend him.
