John 11
1 Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 - it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
4 When Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 However, when he heard that he was ill,
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."
Then after that says he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 "Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go you thither again?
9 Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world;
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
10 but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him."
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
11 This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."
These things said he: and after that he says unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.
Nevertheless Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 So then he told them plainly.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 "Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, let us go to him."
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent all of you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away;
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you been here my brother would not have died;
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
22 but even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
But I know, that even now, whatsoever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
Jesus says unto her, Your brother shall rise again.
24 Martha answered, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the Last Day."
Martha says unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 "I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And every one who is living and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this? (aiōn g165)
27 "Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
She says unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."
And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master has come, and calls for you.
29 So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him.
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at the place where Martha met him.
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.
The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goes unto the grave to weep there.
32 When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you been here, my brother would not have died."
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
33 Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, (pneuma) and was troubled.
34 "Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.
And said, Where have all of you laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus burst into tears.
Jesus wept.
36 "See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37 "Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?"
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon it.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 "Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."
Jesus said, Take all of you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, says unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.
40 Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should see the glory of God?"
Jesus says unto her, Said I not unto you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
41 Then they rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
42 "Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."
And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
43 When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus says unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on him;
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
46 but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
48 "What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49 But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, All of you know nothing at all,
50 "You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be destroyed."
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 now he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in behalf of the nation,
And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 and not in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 So from that day they plotted to kill him.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together in order to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 and there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.
And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not come to the feast at all?"
Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think all of you, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
