1 Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
But there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

3 His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

4 And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
And Jesus hearing this said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.

7 Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.

8 The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?
The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews but just now were seeking to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world;
10 But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth; because the light is not in him.
11 These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
This he spoke, and afterwards said to them, Our friend Lazarus hath fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he hath fallen asleep, he will recover.
13 But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.

15 And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.

22 But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he have died, will live;
26 And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
and whoever liveth and believeth in me will never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
27 She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
She saith to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, he who was to come into the world.

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.
Jesus therefore, again greatly moved within himself, cometh to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
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.
Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time the body is offensive; for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
Jesus saith to her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?

Yet I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude standing around I said it, that they might believe that thou didst send me.
43 When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.

49 But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high-priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all;
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.
nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.

And this he spoke not from himself; but being high-priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
52 And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.

And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
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?
They sought therefore for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? that he will not come to the feast?
