< John 11 >
1 Was now a certain [man] ailing, Lazarus of Bethany of the village of Mary and Martha the sister of her;
Now there was a certain person sick, to wit, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
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.
(And it was Mary, that anointed the Lord with ointment, 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.
His sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest 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.
But when Jesus heard it, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
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.
Therefore when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed indeed two days in the place where He was:
7 Then after this He says to the disciples; Let us go into Judea again.
and after that He saith to his disciples, Let us go again into 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 say unto Him, Master, the Jews very lately attempted to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?
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 answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble; for he seeth the light of this world:
10 if however anyone shall walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light not is in him.
but if any one walk in the night, he stumbleth; because he hath 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 thus answered them, He afterwards saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him.
12 Said therefore the disciples (to Him; *N(K)O*) Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.
Therefore his disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he will do well.
13 Had spoken however Jesus of the death of him; they however thought that of the rest of sleep He speaks.
But Jesus spake of his death; though they thought that He was speaking of the refreshment of sleep.
14 Then therefore said to them Jesus plainly; Lazarus has died.
Then Jesus said to 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 I am glad for your sakes, I was not there, that ye 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.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Having come therefore Jesus found him four already days having been in the tomb.
And when Jesus came, He found that he had been four days in the grave.
18 Was now Bethany near Jerusalem about away stadia fifteen.
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, being but about fifteen furlongs from it:
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*)
and many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that (*k*) Jesus is coming, met with Him; Mary however in the house was sitting.
Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him: but Mary was sitting 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.
And Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst 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 whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will grant it thee.
23 Says to her Jesus; Will rise again the brother of you.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy 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 saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at 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 then told her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, shall live again.
26 and everyone who is living and believing in Me myself certainly not he shall die to the age. Believe you this? (aiōn )
And every one that is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die. (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.
Dost thou believe this? She saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come 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.
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, telling her privately, The Master is coming and calleth for thee.
29 She (then *no*) when she heard ([she] rose up *N(k)O*) quickly and (was coming *N(k)O*) to Him.
As soon as she heard it, she gets up with all speed and comes to Him.
30 Not yet now had come Jesus into the village, but was (still *no*) in the place where met with Him Martha.
For Jesus was not yet come into the town, 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 therefore that were with her in the house to comfort her, seeing Mary that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the grave 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.
Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw Him, fell down at his feet, saying unto Him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, 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
Jesus therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping, that came with her, groaned in spirit and was troubled.
34 And He said; Where have you laid him? They say to Him; Lord, do come and do see.
And He said, Where have ye laid him?
They say unto Him, Lord, come and see: and Jesus wept.
36 Were saying therefore the Jews; Behold how He was loving him!
The Jews therefore said, Behold, 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 opened the eyes of the blind, have caused also that this man should not have died?
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 in himself, cometh to the sepulchre: which was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
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 saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto Him, Lord, by this time he is offensive; for it 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 saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou believest, thou shalt 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.
So they took away the stone from the place where the corpse was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and 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.
I knew indeed that Thou always hearest me: but because of the people standing by I say this, 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.
And when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 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.
And he that had been dead came forth, having his feet and hands rolled up in grave-cloths: and his face bound about with a napkin. Then Jesus bid them, Loosen 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.
Therefore many of the Jews, that came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed on Him.
46 some however of them went to the Pharisees and told to them what did (*ko*) Jesus.
But some of them went 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!
Therefore the chief priests and the pharisees held a council and said, What are we doing? for this man worketh 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 suffer Him to go on thus, all the people will believe on Him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our place and nation.
49 One however certain of them Caiaphas, high priest being on the year same, said to them; You yourselves not know no [thing],
But Caiaphas who was one of them, being high-priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all;
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.
nor do ye consider, that it is better for us that one man should die for the people, than that the whole nation should perish.
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 however he spake not of himself, but being high-priest at that time he prophesied that Jesus would 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 the Jewish nation only, but that he might also gather together the children of God that are dispersed.
53 From that [very] therefore day (they plotted *N(k)O*) that they may kill Him.
From that day therefore they consulted together to put Him to death.
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*)
Wherefore Jesus appeared no longer publicly among the Jews; but went away from thence into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued 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.
Now the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up to Jerusalem out of 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?
So they sought for Jesus, and said to one another in the temple, What think ye? that He will not come to the feast?
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 both the chief priests and the pharisees had given order, that if any one knew where He was, he should inform them, that they might take Him.
