La mort de Lazare
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick."4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.7 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let's go into Judea again."8 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"9 Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn't in him."11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."12 The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him."16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go also, that we may die with him."Jésus est la résurrection et la vie
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died.22 Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."Jésus pleure
28 When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."29 When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died."33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,34 and said, "Where have you laid him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."35 Jesus wept.36 The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"37 Some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"Lazare est ramené à la vie
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."40 Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."Le complot contre Jésus
45 Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."51 Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that he isn't coming to the feast at all?"57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him. -
La mort de Lazare
1 Or il y avait un certain homme malade, Lazare, de Béthanie, du village de Marie et de Marthe sa soeur.2 (Et c'était la Marie qui oignit le Seigneur d'un parfum et qui lui essuya les pieds avec ses cheveux, de laquelle Lazare, le malade, était le frère).3 Les soeurs donc envoyèrent vers lui, disant : Seigneur, voici, celui que tu aimes est malade.4 Jésus, l'ayant entendu, dit : Cette maladie n'est pas à la mort, mais pour la gloire de Dieu, afin que le Fils de Dieu soit glorifié par elle.5 Or Jésus aimait Marthe, et sa soeur, et Lazare.6 Après donc qu'il eut entendu que Lazare était malade, il demeura encore deux jours au lieu où il était.7 Puis après cela, il dit à ses disciples : Retournons en Judée.8 Les disciples lui disent : Rabbi, les Juifs cherchaient tout à l'heure à te lapider, et tu y vas encore !9 Jésus répondit : N'y a-t-il pas douze heures au jour ? Si quelqu'un marche de jour, il ne bronche pas, car il voit la lumière de ce monde ;10 mais si quelqu'un marche de nuit, il bronche, car la lumière n'est pas en lui.11 Il dit ces choses ; et après cela il leur dit : Lazare, notre ami, s'est endormi ; mais je vais pour l'éveiller.12 Les disciples donc lui dirent : Seigneur, s'il s'est endormi, il sera guéri.13 Jésus avait parlé de sa mort ; mais eux pensaient qu'il avait parlé du dormir du sommeil.14 Jésus leur dit donc alors ouvertement : Lazare est mort ;15 et je me réjouis, à cause de vous, de ce que je n'étais pas là, afin que vous croyiez. Mais allons vers lui.16 Thomas donc, appelé Didyme, dit à ses condisciples : Allons-y, nous aussi, afin que nous mourions avec lui.Jésus est la résurrection et la vie
17 Jésus étant donc arrivé trouva qu'il était déjà depuis quatre jours dans le sépulcre.18 Béthanie était près de Jérusalem, à une distance d'environ quinze stades.19 Et plusieurs d'entre les Juifs étaient venus auprès de Marthe et de Marie, pour les consoler au sujet de leur frère.20 Marthe donc, quand elle eut ouï dire que Jésus venait, alla au-devant de lui ; mais Marie se tenait assise dans la maison.21 Marthe donc dit à Jésus : Seigneur, si tu eusses été ici mon frère ne serait pas mort ;22 mais même maintenant je sais que tout ce que tu demanderas à Dieu, Dieu te le donnera.23 Jésus lui dit : Ton frère ressuscitera.24 Marthe lui dit : Je sais qu'il ressuscitera en la résurrection, au dernier jour.25 Jésus lui dit : Moi, je suis la résurrection et la vie : celui qui croit en moi, encore qu'il soit mort, vivra ;26 et quiconque vit, et croit en moi, ne mourra point, à jamais. Crois-tu cela ?27 Elle lui dit : Oui, Seigneur, moi je crois que tu es le Christ, le Fils de Dieu, qui vient dans le monde.Jésus pleure
28 Et ayant dit cela, elle s'en alla et appela secrètement Marie, sa soeur, disant : Le maître est venu, et il t'appelle.29 Celle-ci, aussitôt qu'elle l'eut entendu, se lève promptement et s'en vient à lui.30 (Or Jésus n'était pas encore arrivé dans le village ; mais il était au lieu où Marthe l'avait rencontré).31 Les Juifs donc qui étaient avec Marie dans la maison et qui la consolaient, ayant vu que Marie s'était levée promptement et était sortie, la suivirent, disant : Elle s'en va au sépulcre pour y pleurer.32 Marie donc, quand elle fut venue là où était Jésus, et qu'elle l'eut vu, se jeta à ses pieds, lui disant : Seigneur, si tu eusses été ici, mon frère ne serait pas mort.33 Jésus donc, quand il la vit pleurer, et les Juifs qui étaient venus avec elle, pleurer, frémit en son esprit, et se troubla,34 et dit : Où l'avez-vous mis ? Ils lui disent : Seigneur, viens et vois.35 Jésus pleura.36 Les Juifs donc dirent : Voyez comme il l'affectionnait.37 Mais quelques-uns d'entre eux dirent : Celui-ci qui a ouvert les yeux de l'aveugle, n'aurait-il pas pu faire aussi que cet homme ne mourût pas ?Lazare est ramené à la vie
38 Jésus donc, frémissant encore en lui-même, vient au sépulcre (or c'était une grotte, et il y avait une pierre dessus).39 Jésus dit : Otez la pierre. Marthe, la soeur du mort, lui dit : Seigneur, il sent déjà, car il est là depuis quatre jours.40 Jésus lui dit : Ne t'ai-je pas dit que, si tu crois, tu verras la gloire de Dieu ?41 Ils ôtèrent donc la pierre. Et Jésus leva les yeux en haut et dit : Père, je te rends grâces de ce que tu m'as entendu.42 Or moi je savais que tu m'entends toujours ; mais je l'ai dit à cause de la foule qui est autour de moi, afin qu'ils croient que toi, tu m'as envoyé.43 ayant dit ces choses, il cria à haute voix : Lazare, sors dehors !44 Et le mort sortit, ayant les pieds et les mains liés de bandes ; et son visage était enveloppé d'un suaire. Jésus leur dit : Déliez-le, et laissez-le aller.Le complot contre Jésus
45 Plusieurs donc d'entre les Juifs qui étaient venus auprès de Marie, et qui avaient vu ce que Jésus avait fait, crurent en lui ;46 mais quelques-uns d'entre eux s'en allèrent auprès des pharisiens et leur dirent ce que Jésus avait fait.47 Les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens donc assemblèrent un sanhédrin, et dirent : Que faisons-nous ? car cet homme fait beaucoup de miracles.48 Si nous le laissons ainsi faire, tous croiront en lui, et les Romains viendront, et ôteront et notre lieu et notre nation.49 Et l'un d'entre eux, appelé Caïphe, qui était souverain sacrificateur cette année-là, leur dit :50 Vous ne savez rien, ni ne considérez qu'il nous est avantageux qu'un seul homme meure pour le peuple et que la nation entière ne périsse pas.51 Or il ne dit pas cela de lui-même ; mais étant souverain sacrificateur cette année-là, il prophétisa que Jésus allait mourir pour la nation ;52 et non pas seulement pour la nation, mais aussi pour rassembler en un les enfants de Dieu dispersés.53 Depuis ce jour-là donc, ils consultèrent ensemble pour le faire mourir.54 Jésus donc ne marcha plus ouvertement parmi les Juifs ; mais il s'en alla de là dans la contrée qui est près du désert, en une ville appelée Éphraïm ; et il séjourna là avec les disciples.55 Or la Pâque des Juifs était proche, et plusieurs montèrent de la campagne à Jérusalem, avant la Pâque, afin de se purifier.56 Ils cherchaient donc Jésus, et se disaient l'un à l'autre, comme ils étaient dans le temple : Que vous semble ? Pensez-vous qu'il ne viendra point à la fête ?57 Or les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens avaient donné ordre que si quelqu'un savait où il était, il le déclarât, afin qu'on le prît. -
La mort de Lazare
1 Ἦν δέ τις ἀσθενῶν, Λάζαρος ἀπὸ Βηθανίας ἐκ τῆς κώμης Μαρίας καὶ Μάρθας τῆς ἀδελφῆς αὐτῆς.2 ἦν δὲ Μαριὰμ ἡ ἀλείψασα τὸν κύριον μύρῳ καὶ ἐκμάξασα τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ταῖς θριξὶν αὐτῆς, ἧς ὁ ἀδελφὸς Λάζαρος ἠσθένει.3 ἀπέστειλαν οὖν αἱ ἀδελφαὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσαι· Κύριε, ἴδε ὃν φιλεῖς ἀσθενεῖ.4 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.5 ἠγάπα δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὴν Μάρθαν καὶ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν Λάζαρον.6 ὡς οὖν ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἀσθενεῖ, τότε μὲν ἔμεινεν ἐν ᾧ ἦν τόπῳ δύο ἡμέρας·7 ἔπειτα μετὰ τοῦτο λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς· Ἄγωμεν εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν πάλιν.8 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί· Ῥαββί, νῦν ἐζήτουν σε λιθάσαι οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ πάλιν ὑπάγεις ἐκεῖ;9 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Οὐχὶ δώδεκα ὧραί εἰσιν τῆς ἡμέρας; ἐάν τις περιπατῇ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, οὐ προσκόπτει, ὅτι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου τούτου βλέπει·10 ἐὰν δέ τις περιπατῇ ἐν τῇ νυκτί, προσκόπτει, ὅτι τὸ φῶς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ.11 ταῦτα εἶπεν, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο λέγει αὐτοῖς· Λάζαρος ὁ φίλος ἡμῶν κεκοίμηται, ἀλλὰ πορεύομαι ἵνα ἐξυπνίσω αὐτόν.12 εἶπαν οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτῷ· Κύριε, εἰ κεκοίμηται σωθήσεται.13 εἰρήκει δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς περὶ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ. ἐκεῖνοι δὲ ἔδοξαν ὅτι περὶ τῆς κοιμήσεως τοῦ ὕπνου λέγει.14 τότε οὖν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς παρρησίᾳ· Λάζαρος ἀπέθανεν,15 καὶ χαίρω δι’ ὑμᾶς, ἵνα πιστεύσητε, ὅτι οὐκ ἤμην ἐκεῖ· ἀλλὰ ἄγωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν.16 εἶπεν οὖν Θωμᾶς ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος τοῖς συμμαθηταῖς· Ἄγωμεν καὶ ἡμεῖς ἵνα ἀποθάνωμεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.Jésus est la résurrection et la vie
17 Ἐλθὼν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εὗρεν αὐτὸν τέσσαρας ἤδη ἡμέρας ἔχοντα ἐν τῷ μνημείῳ.18 ἦν δὲ ἡ Βηθανία ἐγγὺς τῶν Ἱεροσολύμων ὡς ἀπὸ σταδίων δεκαπέντε.19 πολλοὶ δὲ ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐληλύθεισαν πρὸς τὴν Μάρθαν καὶ Μαριὰμ ἵνα παραμυθήσωνται αὐτὰς περὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ.20 ἡ οὖν Μάρθα ὡς ἤκουσεν ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἔρχεται ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ· Μαρία δὲ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ἐκαθέζετο.21 εἶπεν οὖν ἡ Μάρθα πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν· Κύριε, εἰ ἦς ὧδε οὐκ ἂν ἀπέθανεν ὁ ἀδελφός μου·22 καὶ νῦν οἶδα ὅτι ὅσα ἂν αἰτήσῃ τὸν θεὸν δώσει σοι ὁ θεός.23 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἀναστήσεται ὁ ἀδελφός σου.24 λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ Μάρθα· Οἶδα ὅτι ἀναστήσεται ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.25 εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ ἀνάστασις καὶ ἡ ζωή· ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ κἂν ἀποθάνῃ ζήσεται,26 καὶ πᾶς ὁ ζῶν καὶ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· πιστεύεις τοῦτο;27 λέγει αὐτῷ· Ναί, κύριε· ἐγὼ πεπίστευκα ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐρχόμενος.Jésus pleure
28 Καὶ τοῦτο εἰποῦσα ἀπῆλθεν καὶ ἐφώνησεν Μαριὰμ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτῆς λάθρᾳ εἰποῦσα· Ὁ διδάσκαλος πάρεστιν καὶ φωνεῖ σε.29 ἐκείνη δὲ ὡς ἤκουσεν ἠγέρθη ταχὺ καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν·30 οὔπω δὲ ἐληλύθει ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν κώμην, ἀλλ’ ἦν ἔτι ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ὅπου ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ ἡ Μάρθα.31 οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι οἱ ὄντες μετ’ αὐτῆς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ παραμυθούμενοι αὐτήν, ἰδόντες τὴν Μαριὰμ ὅτι ταχέως ἀνέστη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῇ δόξαντες ὅτι ὑπάγει εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον ἵνα κλαύσῃ ἐκεῖ.32 ἡ οὖν Μαριὰμ ὡς ἦλθεν ὅπου ἦν Ἰησοῦς ἰδοῦσα αὐτὸν ἔπεσεν αὐτοῦ πρὸς τοὺς πόδας, λέγουσα αὐτῷ· Κύριε, εἰ ἦς ὧδε οὐκ ἄν μου ἀπέθανεν ὁ ἀδελφός.33 Ἰησοῦς οὖν ὡς εἶδεν αὐτὴν κλαίουσαν καὶ τοὺς συνελθόντας αὐτῇ Ἰουδαίους κλαίοντας ἐνεβριμήσατο τῷ πνεύματι καὶ ἐτάραξεν ἑαυτόν,34 καὶ εἶπεν· Ποῦ τεθείκατε αὐτόν; λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Κύριε, ἔρχου καὶ ἴδε.35 ἐδάκρυσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς.36 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· Ἴδε πῶς ἐφίλει αὐτόν.37 τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν εἶπαν· Οὐκ ἐδύνατο οὗτος ὁ ἀνοίξας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ τυφλοῦ ποιῆσαι ἵνα καὶ οὗτος μὴ ἀποθάνῃ;Lazare est ramené à la vie
38 Ἰησοῦς οὖν πάλιν ἐμβριμώμενος ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔρχεται εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον· ἦν δὲ σπήλαιον, καὶ λίθος ἐπέκειτο ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.39 λέγει ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἄρατε τὸν λίθον. λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ ἀδελφὴ τοῦ τετελευτηκότος Μάρθα· Κύριε, ἤδη ὄζει, τεταρταῖος γάρ ἐστιν.40 λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Οὐκ εἶπόν σοι ὅτι ἐὰν πιστεύσῃς ὄψῃ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ;41 ἦραν οὖν τὸν λίθον. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἦρεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἄνω καὶ εἶπεν· Πάτερ, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι ἤκουσάς μου,42 ἐγὼ δὲ ᾔδειν ὅτι πάντοτέ μου ἀκούεις· ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον τὸν περιεστῶτα εἶπον, ἵνα πιστεύσωσιν ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας.43 καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐκραύγασεν· Λάζαρε, δεῦρο ἔξω.44 ἐξῆλθεν ὁ τεθνηκὼς δεδεμένος τοὺς πόδας καὶ τὰς χεῖρας κειρίαις, καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ σουδαρίῳ περιεδέδετο. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Λύσατε αὐτὸν καὶ ἄφετε αὐτὸν ὑπάγειν.Le complot contre Jésus
45 Πολλοὶ οὖν ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, οἱ ἐλθόντες πρὸς τὴν Μαριὰμ καὶ θεασάμενοι ἃ ἐποίησεν, ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν·46 τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπῆλθον πρὸς τοὺς Φαρισαίους καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς ἃ ἐποίησεν Ἰησοῦς.47 συνήγαγον οὖν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συνέδριον, καὶ ἔλεγον· Τί ποιοῦμεν ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολλὰ ποιεῖ σημεῖα;48 ἐὰν ἀφῶμεν αὐτὸν οὕτως, πάντες πιστεύσουσιν εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλεύσονται οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι καὶ ἀροῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ τὸ ἔθνος.49 εἷς δέ τις ἐξ αὐτῶν Καϊάφας, ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε οὐδέν,50 οὐδὲ λογίζεσθε ὅτι συμφέρει ὑμῖν ἵνα εἷς ἄνθρωπος ἀποθάνῃ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ ἔθνος ἀπόληται.51 τοῦτο δὲ ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ οὐκ εἶπεν, ἀλλὰ ἀρχιερεὺς ὢν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐκείνου ἐπροφήτευσεν ὅτι ἔμελλεν Ἰησοῦς ἀποθνῄσκειν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἔθνους,52 καὶ οὐχ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἔθνους μόνον, ἀλλ’ ἵνα καὶ τὰ τέκνα τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ διεσκορπισμένα συναγάγῃ εἰς ἕν.53 ἀπ’ ἐκείνης οὖν τῆς ἡμέρας ἐβουλεύσαντο ἵνα ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτόν.54 Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς οὐκέτι παρρησίᾳ περιεπάτει ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν χώραν ἐγγὺς τῆς ἐρήμου, εἰς Ἐφραὶμ λεγομένην πόλιν, κἀκεῖ ἔμεινεν μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν.55 Ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς τὸ πάσχα τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πολλοὶ εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἐκ τῆς χώρας πρὸ τοῦ πάσχα ἵνα ἁγνίσωσιν ἑαυτούς.56 ἐζήτουν οὖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἔλεγον μετ’ ἀλλήλων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἑστηκότες· Τί δοκεῖ ὑμῖν; ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν;57 δεδώκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἐντολὰς ἵνα ἐάν τις γνῷ ποῦ ἐστιν μηνύσῃ, ὅπως πιάσωσιν αὐτόν. -
La mort de Lazare
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick."4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.7 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let's go into Judea again."8 The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"9 Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn't in him."11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."12 The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him."16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go also, that we may die with him."Jésus est la résurrection et la vie
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died.22 Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."Jésus pleure
28 When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."29 When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died."33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,34 and said, "Where have you laid him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."35 Jesus wept.36 The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"37 Some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"Lazare est ramené à la vie
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."40 Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."Le complot contre Jésus
45 Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."51 Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that he isn't coming to the feast at all?"57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

Douce image qui signifie que, pour les hommes pieux, la mort est un repos après le travail du jour, un sommeil qui sera suivi du réveil. (Matthieu 9.24 ; Actes 7.60 ; 1Corinthiens 15.20 ; 1Thessaloniciens 4.13)
"Langage céleste !" s'écrie Bengel ; et cet auteur ajoute au sujet de ce mot, notre ami : "Avec quelle tendresse tout humaine Jésus associe ses disciples à son amitié pour Lazare !"
Jésus emploie aussi ce terme en réponse à la déclaration des deux sœurs : (verset 3) "celui que tu aimes est malade."
Un véritable chrétien ne dort que lorsqu'il meurt ; il se repose des travaux « du jour ». La mort est préférable au sommeil, car ce dernier n’est qu’un court repos, alors que la mort est la fin des soucis et des labeurs terrestres.
Les disciples pensaient qu'il était maintenant inutile pour Christ d'aller voir Lazare, et de se montrer au peuple... Quand il y a un risque à pratiquer de bonnes œuvres, nous espérons alors que d’autres s’en chargeront ! Quand Jésus a ressuscité Lazare, beaucoup furent amenés à croire en Lui, et la foi de ceux qui croyaient déjà, fut affermie.
Approchons-nous de Christ ; la mort ne peut pas nous séparer de Son amour, ni nous mettre hors de portée de Son appel. Comme le fit Thomas dans ce texte, les chrétiens doivent s'encourager mutuellement dans les moments difficiles.
L’obéissance du Seigneur Jésus, lors de Sa mort à la croix, doit nous inciter à accepter sereinement de mourir, à l'heure où Dieu nous appelle...
