u believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand
that the Father is in me and I in the Father. [10:39]Then they sought
again to take him by force; and he escaped out of their hand.
3 [10:40]And he went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where
John first baptized, and continued there. [10:41]And many came to him
and said, John performed no miracle, but all things which John said of
this man were true. [10:42]And many believed on him there.
CHAPTER XIV.
CHRIST RAISING LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD.
1 [11:1]A CERTAIN man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of
Mary and Martha her sister. [11:2]It was the Mary who anointed the Lord
with ointment and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus
was sick. [11:3]Then the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he
whom you love is sick. [11:4] But Jesus hearing it said, This sickness
is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be
glorified by it. [11:5]And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and
Lazarus. [11:6]When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he

[11:13]But Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of
the rest of sleep. [11:14]Then Jesus, therefore, said to them plainly,
Lazarus has died; [11:15]and I am glad for your sakes that I was not
there, that you may believe; but let us go to him. [11:16]Then Thomas,
who is called The twin, said to the fellow disciples, Let us go also,
that we may die with him.
3 [11:17]Then Jesus coming found that he had been four days in the
tomb. [11:18]And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadiums [1
3-4 miles] distant. [11:19]And many of the Jews came to those with

Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out
