John 11
1 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —
Now there was a certain person sick, to wit, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
2 and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —
(And it was Mary, that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
His sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified 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 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,
Therefore when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed indeed two days in the place where He was:
7 then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
and after that He saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea.
8 the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
The disciples say unto Him, Master, the Jews very lately attempted to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?
9 Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
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 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not 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 saith to them, 'Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
Having thus answered them, He afterwards saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him.
12 therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
Therefore his disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he will do well.
13 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
But Jesus spake of his death; though they thought that He was speaking of the refreshment of sleep.
14 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;
Then Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead:
15 and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe, ) that I was not there; but we may 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 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, 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 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
And when Jesus came, He found that he had been four days in the grave.
18 And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, being but about fifteen furlongs from it:
19 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
and many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him: but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
And Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
But I know that even now whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will grant it thee.
23 Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;
Jesus then told her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, shall live again.
And every one that is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die. (aiōn g165)
27 believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
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 having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
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, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
As soon as she heard it, she gets up with all speed and comes to Him.
30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
For Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was 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 doth go away 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 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
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 Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,
Jesus therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping, that came with her, groaned in spirit and was troubled.
34 'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'
And He said, Where have ye laid him?
35 Jesus wept.
They say unto Him, Lord, come and see: and Jesus wept.
36 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'
The Jews therefore said, Behold, how he loved him!
37 and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not 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 groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre: which was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'
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 Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt 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 the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear 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 and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'
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 saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'
And when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer 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 who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
Therefore many of the Jews, that came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed on Him.
46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
But some of them went to the pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many 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 may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and 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 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,
But Caiaphas who was one of them, being high-priest that year, said unto 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 better for us that one man should die for the people, than that the whole nation should perish.
51 And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about 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, who have been scattered abroad, 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 day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
From that day therefore they consulted together to put Him to death.
54 Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
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 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might 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 said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you — that he may not 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 and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [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.
