John 11
1 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister—
2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
and it was Mary who anointed the LORD with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing—
3 The sisters then sent for Jesus, saying, “Lord, see, he whom you love is sick.”
therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You cherish is ailing”;
4 When Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but instead it is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
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.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed two more days in the place where he was.
when, therefore, He heard that he is ailing, then indeed He remained in the place in which He was two days,
7 Then after this, he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
then after this, He says to the disciples, “We may go to Judea again”;
8 The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, right now the Jews are trying to stone you, and you are going back there again?”
the disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just seeking to stone You, and again You go there?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of light in a day? If someone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
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;
10 However, if he walks at night, he will stumble because the light is not in him.”
and if anyone may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 He said these things, and after these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may wake him out of sleep.”
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”;
12 The disciples therefore said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
therefore His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved”;
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he was speaking about the sleep of resting.
but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that He speaks about the repose of sleep.
14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, “Lazarus has died;
15 I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there so that you may believe. Let us go to him.”
and I rejoice, for your sake (that you may believe), that I was not there; but we may go to him”;
16 Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go so that we may die with Jesus.”
therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to the fellow-disciples, “We may go—we also, that we may die with Him,”
17 When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having already been four days in the tomb.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
And Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,
19 Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them about their brother.
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus comes, met Him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
21 Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
Martha, therefore, said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother had not died;
22 Even now, I know that whatever you ask from God, he will give to you.”
but even now, I have known that whatever You may ask of God, God will give to You”;
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
Martha says to Him, “I have known that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day”;
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, even if he dies, will live;
Jesus said to her, “I AM the resurrection, and the life; he who is believing in Me, even if he may die, will live;
and everyone who is living and believing in Me will not die—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
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.”
28 When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary privately. She said, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
And having said these things, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, “The Teacher is present, and calls you”;
29 When she heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
she, when she heard, rises up quickly, and comes to Him;
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
and Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him;
31 So when the Jews, who were with her in the house and who were comforting her, saw Mary getting up quickly and going out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
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.”
32 When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
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”;
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and was troubled;
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,
34 he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
“Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see”;
35 Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, “See how much he loved Lazarus!”
The Jews, therefore, said, “Behold, how He was cherishing him!”
37 But some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of a blind man, also have made this man not die?”
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?”
38 Then Jesus again, being deeply moved in himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
Jesus, therefore, again groaning in Himself, comes to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it,
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of Lazarus, the one who had died, said to Jesus, “Lord, by this time the body will be decaying, for he has been dead for four days.”
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”;
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you may believe, you will see the glory of God?”
41 So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
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;
42 I knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”
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.”
43 After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
And saying these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
44 The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
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.”
45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
Many, therefore, of the Jews who came to Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in Him;
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
but certain of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, “What will we do? This man does many signs.
the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together [the] Sanhedrin and said, “What may we do? Because this Man does many signs?
48 If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
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.”
49 However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing.
And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, “You have not known anything,
50 You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes.”
nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.”
51 Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
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,
52 and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.
and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, He may gather together into one.
53 So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.
From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill Him;
54 No longer did Jesus walk openly among the Jews, but he departed from there into the country near to the wilderness into a town called Ephraim. There he stayed with the disciples.
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.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
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;
56 They were looking for Jesus, and speaking one with another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the festival?”
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?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it so that they might seize him.
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.
