John 11
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village 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 it was Mary who anointed the LORD with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing—
It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You cherish is ailing”;
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 and Jesus having heard, said, “This ailment is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through 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.
5 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 when, therefore, He heard that he is ailing, then indeed He remained in the place in which He was two days,
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days.
7 then after this, He says to the disciples, “We may go to Judea again”;
Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 the disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just seeking to stone You, and again You go there?”
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 in the day? If anyone may walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees 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 and if anyone may walk in the night, he stumbles, 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 He said these things, and after this He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him”;
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 therefore His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved”;
The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he hath fallen asleep, he will recover.
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that He speaks about 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 freely, “Lazarus has died;
Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
15 and I rejoice, for your sake (that you may believe), that I was not there; but we may go to him”;
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there; that ye may believe; but let us go to him.
16 therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to the fellow-disciples, “We may go—we also, that we may die with Him,”
Then said Thomas, who was called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having already been four days in the tomb.

18 And Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus comes, met Him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but Mary continued sitting in the house.
21 Martha, therefore, said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother had not died;
Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
22 but even now, I have known that whatever You may ask of God, God will give to You”;
and even now I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Jesus saith to her, Thy brother will rise again.
24 Martha says to Him, “I have known that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day”;
Martha saith 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 is believing in Me, even if he may die, will live;
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he have died, will live;
and whoever liveth and believeth in me will never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
27 do you believe this?” She says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the 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.
28 And having said these things, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, “The Teacher is present, and calls you”;
And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here and calleth for thee.
29 she, when she heard, rises up quickly, and comes to Him;
She, when she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him.
30 and Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him;
Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
31 the 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 goes away to the tomb, that she may weep there.”
The Jews then who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother had not died”;
Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus, therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled Himself, and He said,
Jesus therefore when he saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, was greatly moved in his spirit, and much troubled,
34 “Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see”;
and said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, “Behold, how He was cherishing him!”
The Jews therefore said, See, how he loved him!
37 And certain of them said, “Was not this One, who opened the eyes of the blind man, also able to cause that this one might not have died?”
But some of them said, Could not he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have also caused that this man should not have died?
38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in Himself, comes to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it,
Jesus therefore, again greatly moved within himself, cometh to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus says, “Take away the stone”; the sister of him who has died—Martha—says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks, for he is four days dead”;
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 says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you may believe, you will 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?
41 Therefore they took away the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted His eyes upwards, and said, “Father, I thank You that You heard Me;
They therefore took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 and I knew that You always hear Me, but because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that You sent Me.”
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 And saying these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
And having thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!
44 And he who died came forth, feet and hands being bound with grave-clothes, and his face was bound around with a napkin; Jesus says to them, “Loose him, and permit to go.”
He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came to Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in Him;
Many of the Jews therefore who had come to Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him.
46 but certain of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together [the] Sanhedrin and said, “What may we do? Because this Man does many signs?
Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we to do, seeing that this man worketh many signs?
48 If we may leave Him alone thus, all will believe in Him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.”
If we thus let him alone, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.
49 And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, “You have not known anything,
And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high-priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all;
50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.”
nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.
51 And he did not say this of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
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 for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, He may gather together into one.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together in one body the children of God that are scattered abroad.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill Him;
Therefore from that day forth they consulted together to put him to death.
54 Jesus, therefore, was no longer freely walking among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there He tarried with His disciples.
Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed thence to the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there abode with the disciples.
55 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover, that they might purify themselves;
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 therefore they were seeking Jesus and said with one another, standing in the temple, “What appears to you—that He may not come to the celebration?”
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?
57 And both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone may know where He is, he may show [it], so that they may seize Him.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should give information, that they might seize him.
