And there was a certain one ailing – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 11 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —

²and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —

³therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;’

⁴and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’

⁵And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

⁶when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

⁷then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;’

⁸the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!’

⁹Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

¹⁰and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.’

¹¹These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;’

¹²therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;’

¹³but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹⁴Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

¹⁵and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;’

¹⁶therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go — we also, that we may die with him,’

¹⁷Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁸And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

^{20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.}

^{21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;}

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;’

²³Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.’

²⁴Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;’

²⁵Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁷believest thou this?’ she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.’

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;’

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

³⁰and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

³¹the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.’

³²Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;’

³³Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³⁴`Where have ye laid him?’ they say to him, `Sir, come and see;’

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!’

³⁷and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?’

³⁸Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

³⁹Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;’ the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;’

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?’

⁴¹They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

^{42 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.’}

⁴³And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;’

⁴⁴and 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.’

⁴⁵Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁶but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁷the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

⁴⁸if 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.’

⁴⁹and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

⁵⁰nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.’

⁵¹And 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,

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

⁵³From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

⁵⁴Jesus, 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.

⁵⁵And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

⁵⁶they 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?’

⁵⁷and 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. – Aslan International Ministry

These [are] the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – These [are] the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

^{2 And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, `Ye — ye have seen all that which Jehovah hath done before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;}

³the great trials which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders;

⁴and Jehovah hath not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, till this day,

⁵and I cause you to go forty years in a wilderness; your garments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoe hath not worn away from off thy foot;

⁶bread ye have not eaten, and wine and strong drink ye have not drunk, so that ye know that I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁷`And ye come in unto this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon — also Og king of Bashan — doth come out to meet us, to battle, and we smite them,

⁸and take their land, and give it for an inheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh;

⁹and ye have kept the words of this covenant, and done them, so that ye cause all that ye do to prosper.

¹⁰`Ye are standing to-day, all of you, before Jehovah your God — your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your authorities — every man of Israel;

¹¹your infants, your wives, and thy sojourner who [is] in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water —

^{12 for thy passing over into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into His oath which Jehovah thy God is making with thee to-day;}

¹³in order to establish thee to-day to Him for a people, and He Himself is thy God, as He hath spoken to thee, and as He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

¹⁴`And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath;

^{15 but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Jehovah our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day,}

¹⁶for ye have known how ye dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed by through the midst of the nations which ye have passed by;

¹⁷and ye see their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [are] with them,

¹⁸lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart is turning to-day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a root fruitful of gall and wormwood:

^{19 `And it hath been, in his hearing the words of this oath, and he hath blessed himself in his heart, saying, I have peace, though in the stubbornness of my heart I go on, in order to end the fulness with the thirst.}

^{20 Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens,}

²¹and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is written in this book of the law.

^{22 `And the latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it, —}

²³([with] brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,) —

^{24 yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?}

²⁵`And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt,

²⁶and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them — gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;

²⁷and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,

²⁸and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as [at] this day.

²⁹`The things hidden [are] to Jehovah our God, and the things revealed [are] to us and to our sons — to the age, to do all the words of this law. – Aslan International Ministry

And on the first of the sabbaths – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 20 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

²she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.’

³Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

⁴and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

⁵and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.

⁶Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

⁷and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;

⁸then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

⁹for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.

¹⁰The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,

¹¹and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting,

¹²one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.

¹³And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?’ she saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;’

^{14 and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.}

^{15 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;’ she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;’}

¹⁶Jesus saith to her, `Mary!’ having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;’ that is to say, `Teacher.’

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.’

¹⁸Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and [that] these things he said to her.

¹⁹It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;’

²⁰and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

²¹Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;’

²²and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit;

²³if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.’

²⁴And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;

²⁵the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;’ and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.’

²⁶And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!’

²⁷then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.’

²⁸And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;’

²⁹Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.’

³⁰Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;

^{31 and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.’ – Aslan International Ministry}

And at dawn he came again to the temple – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 8 And at dawn he came again to the temple,

²and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

³and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

⁴they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,

⁵and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?’

⁶and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

⁷and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;’

⁸and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

⁹and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁰And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?’

¹¹and she said, `No one, Sir;’ and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.’

¹²Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.’

¹³The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;’

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵`Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

¹⁶and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

¹⁷and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

¹⁸I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.’

¹⁹They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?’ Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.’

^{20 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;}

²¹therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.’

²²The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?’

²³and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

²⁴I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.’

²⁵They said, therefore, to him, `Thou — who art thou?’ and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

²⁶many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.’

²⁷They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

²⁸Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

²⁹and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.’

³⁰As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

³¹Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

³²and the truth shall make you free.’

³³They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?’

^{34 Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,}

³⁵and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age;

³⁶if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

³⁷`I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

³⁸I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.’

³⁹They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;’ Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

^{40 and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;}

⁴¹ye do the works of your father.’ They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;’

⁴²Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

⁴³wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

^{44 `Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.}

⁴⁵`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.’

⁴⁸The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?’

⁴⁹Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

⁵⁰and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

⁵¹verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.’

^{52 The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age!}

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?’

⁵⁴Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

⁵⁵and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

⁵⁶Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.’

⁵⁷The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?’

⁵⁸Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham’s coming — I am;’

^{59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. – Aslan International Ministry}

And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 2 And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

²and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

³and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;’

⁴Jesus saith to her, `What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.’

⁵His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you — do.’

⁶And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁷Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;’ and they filled them — unto the brim;

⁸and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;’ and they bare.

⁹And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

¹⁰and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.’

¹¹This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

¹²after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

¹³And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹⁴and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁵and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.’

¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;’

¹⁸the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?’

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.’

²⁰The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?’

²¹but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

^{22 when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.}

²³And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

²⁴and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all [men],

^{25 and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man. – Aslan International Ministry}
