< John 11 >
1 Was now a certain [man] ailing, Lazarus of Bethany of the village of Mary and Martha the sister of her;
Now, one Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 Was now Mary the [one] having anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and having wiped the feet of Him with the hair of her, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
(It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with balsam, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Sent therefore the sisters to Him saying; Lord, behold [he] whom You love was being sick.
The sisters, therefore, sent to tell Jesus, Master, lo! he whom you love, is sick.
4 Having heard then Jesus said; This sickness not is unto death but for the glory of God that may be glorified the Son of God through it.
Jesus hearing it, said, This sickness will not prove fatal; but conduce to the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 was loving now Jesus Martha and the sister of her and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When therefore He heard that he is sick, then indeed He remained in which He was [the] place two days.
Having, then, heard that he was sick, Jesus staid two days in the place where he was.
7 Then after this He says to the disciples; Let us go into Judea again.
Afterward, he said to the disciples, Let us return to Judea.
8 Say to Him the disciples; Rabbi, just now were seeking You to stone the Jews, and again You are going there?
The disciples answered, Rabbi, but very lately the Jews would have stoned you, and you would return thither?
9 Answered (*k*) Jesus; Surely twelve hours are there in the day? If anyone shall walk in the day, not he stumbles, because the light of the world this he sees.
Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not: because he sees the light of the world:
10 if however anyone shall walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light not is in him.
but if he walk in the night, he stumbles; because there is no light.
11 These things He said and after this He says to them; Lazarus the friend of us has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awaken him.
Having spoken this, he added, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go to wake him.
12 Said therefore the disciples (to Him; *N(K)O*) Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.
Then said his disciples, Master, if he sleep, he will recover.
13 Had spoken however Jesus of the death of him; they however thought that of the rest of sleep He speaks.
Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14 Then therefore said to them Jesus plainly; Lazarus has died.
Then Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I rejoice for sake of you, in order that you may believe, that not I was there; But let us go to him.
And on your account I am glad that I was not there, that you may believe; but let us go to him.
16 Said therefore Thomas who is being named Didymus to the fellow disciples; Let us go also us that we may die with Him.
Then Thomas, that is, Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us go, that we may die with him.
17 Having come therefore Jesus found him four already days having been in the tomb.
When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.
18 Was now Bethany near Jerusalem about away stadia fifteen.
Now, (Bethany being about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem, )
19 (and *k*) Many (now *no*) of the Jews had come unto (*N(k)O*) (concerning *k*) Martha and Mary that they may console them concerning the brother (of them. *k*)
many of the Jews came to Martha, and Mary, to comfort them on the death of their brother.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that (*k*) Jesus is coming, met with Him; Mary however in the house was sitting.
Martha having heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary remained in the house.
21 Said then Martha to Jesus; Lord, if You had been here, not then would (be dead *N(k)O*) the brother of mine.
Then Martha said to Jesus, Master, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
22 Nevertheless even now I know that as much as maybe You may ask God will give You God.
But I know that even now, whatever you shall ask of God, God will give you.
23 Says to her Jesus; Will rise again the brother of you.
Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.
24 Says to him (*no*) Martha; I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
Martha replied, I know that he will rise at the resurrection, on the last day.
25 Said to her Jesus; I myself am the resurrection and the life; the [one] believing in Me myself even if even if he shall die he will live,
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes on me, though he were dead, shall live;
26 and everyone who is living and believing in Me myself certainly not he shall die to the age. Believe you this? (aiōn )
and no man who lives and believes on me, shall ever die. Do you believe this? (aiōn )
27 She says to Him; Yes Lord; I myself have believed that You yourself are the Christ the Son of God the [One] into the world coming.
She answered, Yes, Master, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, He who comes into the world.
28 And (these things *N(k)O*) having said she went away and she called Mary the sister of her secretly having said; The Teacher is come and He calls you.
Having said this, she went and called Mary, her sister, aside, saying, The Teacher is come, and calls for you.
29 She (then *no*) when she heard ([she] rose up *N(k)O*) quickly and (was coming *N(k)O*) to Him.
When Mary heard this, she instantly rose and went to him.
30 Not yet now had come Jesus into the village, but was (still *no*) in the place where met with Him Martha.
Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 The then Jews who are being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen Mary that soon she rose up and went out, followed after her, (having supposed *N(K)O*) that she is going to the tomb that she may weep there.
The Jews, then, who were condoling with Mary in the house, when they saw that she arose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Therefore Mary when she came to where was (*k*) Jesus, having seen Him she fell of Him (at *N(k)O*) the feet saying to Him; Lord, if You had been here, not then would my have died brother.
Mary being come to the place where Jesus was, and seeing him, threw herself at his feet, saying, Had you be here, Master, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus therefore when He saw her weeping and the having come with her Jews weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled Himself
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping, who came with her, he groaned deeply, and was troubled,
34 And He said; Where have you laid him? They say to Him; Lord, do come and do see.
and said, Where have you laid him? They answered, and said, Master, come and see.
36 Were saying therefore the Jews; Behold how He was loving him!
The Jews, therefore, said, Mark how he loved him.
37 Some however of them said; Surely was able this [man] who having opened the eyes of the blind to have caused that also this one not may have died?
But some of them said, Could not he who gave sight to the blind man, even have prevented this man's death?
38 Jesus therefore again being deeply moved in Himself He comes to the tomb; It was now a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
Jesus, therefore, again, groaning, came to the tomb. It was a cave, the entrance of which was shut up with a stone.
39 Says Jesus; do take away the stone. Says to Him the sister of the [one] (having deceased *N(k)O*) Martha; Lord, already he stinks; four days for it is.
Jesus said, Remove the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, answered, Sir, by this time, the smell is offensive, for this is the fourth day.
40 Says to her Jesus; Surely I said to you that if you shall believe you will see the glory of God?
Jesus replied, Did I not say to you, If you believe, you shall see the glory of God?
41 They took away therefore the stone (where was who having died laid. *K*) Now Jesus lifted [His] eyes upwards and said; Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Then they removed the stone. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes, said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 I myself and knew that always Me You hear; but on account of the crowd which already standing around I said [it], that they may believe that You yourself Me sent.
As for me, I know that thou hearest me always; but I speak, for the people's sake who surround me, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And these things having said in a voice loud He cried out; Lazarus, come forth.
After these words, raising his voice, he cried, Lazarus, come forth!
44 (and *k*) Came forth the [one] having died bound the feet and the hands with linen strips, and the face of him in a headcloth had bound about. Says to them Jesus: do unbind him and do allow him to go.
He who had been dead, came forth, bound hand and foot with fillets, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.
45 Many therefore of the Jews having come to Mary and having seen (what things *NK(o)*) He did (Jesus *k*) believed in Him.
Many, therefore, of the Jews, who had come to Mary, and seen what he did, believed on him.
46 some however of them went to the Pharisees and told to them what did (*ko*) Jesus.
But some of the repaired to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Gathered therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees a council and they were saying; What are we to do? For this man many does signs!
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrim, and said, What are we doing? for this man works many miracles.
48 If we shall let him alone Him like this, all will believe in Him, and will come the Romans and will take away of us both the place and the nation.
If we let him go on thus, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our place and our nation.
49 One however certain of them Caiaphas, high priest being on the year same, said to them; You yourselves not know no [thing],
One of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You are utterly at a loss,
50 nor (consider you *N(k)O*) that it is profitable (for you *N(K)O*) that one man may die for the people, and not all the nation may perish.
and do not consider, that it is better for us that one man die for the people, than that the whole nation should be ruined.
51 This now from himself not he said, but high priest being on the year that he prophesied that was about (*k*) Jesus to die for the nation,
This he spoke, not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 and not for the nation only but that also the children of God those scattered He may gather together into one.
and not for that nation only, but that he should assemble into one body the dispersed children of God.
53 From that [very] therefore day (they plotted *N(k)O*) that they may kill Him.
From that day, therefore, they concerted how they might destroy him.
54 (*no*) Therefore Jesus no longer no longer publicly was walking among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness to Ephraim being named a city, And there And there (He stayed *N(k)O*) with the disciples (of him. *k*)
For that reason, Jesus appeared no longer publicly among the Jews, but retired to the country, near the desert, to a city called Ephraim; and continued there with his disciples.
55 Was now near the Passover of the Jews, and went up many to Jerusalem out of the region before the Passover so that they may purify themselves.
Meantime, the Jewish passover approached, and many went to Jerusalem from the country, before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 They were seeking therefore Jesus and were saying among one another in the temple already standing; What does it seem to you, that certainly not He may come to the feast?
These inquired after Jesus, and said, one to another, as they stood in the temple, What do you think? Will he not come to the festival?
57 Had given now (also *k*) the chief priests and the Pharisees (commands *N(K)O*) that if anyone shall know where He is he shall show [it], so that they may seize Him.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had issued an order, that whosoever knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might apprehend him.
