New Testament in a Year

³⁰ Now he had not yet come into the shtetl, but was still in the place where Marta met him.

³¹ Therefore, those of Yehudah, the ones sitting shiva with her in the bais and giving her nechamah, when they saw Miryam get up quickly and rush out, followed her, assuming that she is going to the kever (tomb) that she might weep there.

³² Therefore, Miryam, when she came where Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was, and when she saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to Rebbe, Adoni, if you were here, achi (my brother) would not have died.

³³ Therefore, when he saw her weeping and those of Yehudah coming with her and also weeping, he was deeply moved in his neshamah and was troubled in himself,

³⁴ And said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Adoni, come and see.

³⁵ Yehoshua wept.

³⁶ Therefore, those of Yehudah were saying, Hinei! See how much ahavah he had for him.

³⁷ But some of them said, Could not this man, who was able to open the eyes of the ivver, have also prevented this man from passing?

³⁸ Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, therefore, again being deeply moved within himself, comes to the kever (tomb). Now it was a me’arah (cave) type of kever and a stone was lying against it.

³⁹ Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Lift the stone. Marta, the achot of the niftar (deceased), says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Adoni, already he smells, for it is now arba’ah yamim (four days).

⁴⁰ He says to her, Did I not tell you that if you have emunah (faith), you will see the kavod Hashem?

⁴¹ Therefore, they lifted the stone and he lifted up his eyes and said, Avi, I thank You that You heard me.

⁴² And I knew that You always hear me, but, because of the multitude standing around, I said it, that they may have emunah (faith) that You sent me.

⁴³ And having said these things, he cried out with a kol gadol, El’azar, come forth!

⁴⁴ Then the niftar, having been bound feet and hands with the linen clothes of the tachrichin, and with his face covered with a mitznefet (head wrapping), came out. He says to them, Untie him and let him go.

⁴⁵ Therefore, many of those of Yehudah, the ones having come to Miryam and having seen the things which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did, put their emunah in him. [SHEMOT 14:31]

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Perushim and reported to them everything Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did.

⁴⁷ Therefore, the Rashei Hakohanim and the Perushim called a meeting of the Sanhedrin and were saying, What are we doing, for this man is performing many otot (miraculous signs)?

⁴⁸ If we leave him thus, kol Bnei Adam will have emunah (faith) in him, and the Romans will come and will take away from us both the Beis Hamikdash and the nation.

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiapha, being Kohen Gadol that year, said to them, You do not have da’as of anything

⁵⁰ Nor do you consider that it is a bedievedike (expedient) thing for you that one man should die on behalf of HaAm and not that all the nation should perish. [YONAH 1:12 15; YESHAYAH 53:8]

⁵¹ But this he did not utter from himself, but, being Kohen Gadol that year, he uttered a dvar hanevu’ah that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was about to die on behalf of the nation [Ex 28:30; Num 27:21; Isa 53:8]

⁵² And not on behalf of Am Yisroel only but also the yeladim of Hashem, the ones having been scattered, that he may gather into echad. [YESHAYAH 49:6]

⁵³ From that Yom on, therefore, they planned that they might put him to death.

⁵⁴ Therefore he no longer was walking openly among those of Yehudah, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness, to a shtetl called Efrayim, and there Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remained with the talmidim. [SHMUEL BAIS 13:23]

⁵⁵ Now Pesach was near and many went up to Yerushalayim from the country before the Pesach for the purpose of HITTEHARU (they purified themselves, 2Ch 30:18).

⁵⁶ They were seeking, therefore, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach and were saying to one another while they stood in the Beis Hamikdash, What does it appear to you? Surely he will not come to the Chag (Feast)!

⁵⁷ Now the Rashei Hakohanim and the Perushim had given orders that if anyone had da’as of where he is, he should reveal it so that they might arrest him.
