John 11

CHAPTER 11

The Death of Lazarus

1And there was a certain sick man, Lazarus, from Bethany, from out of the town of Mary and Martha   her sister. 2[³was ¹And ²Mary] the one anointing the Lord with perfumed liquid, and wiped clean   his feet with  her hair, whose   brother Lazarus was sick. 3[³sent ⁴then ¹The ²sisters] to him, saying, O Lord, behold, whom you are fond of is sick. 4And hearing,   Jesus said, This   sickness is not to death, but for the glory   of God, that [⁴should be glorified ¹the ²son   ³of God] through it. 5[³loved ¹And   ²Jesus]   Martha, and   her sister, and   Lazarus. 6Then as he heard that he is sick, then indeed he stayed in [²where ³he was ¹the place] two days. 7Thereupon after this he says to the disciples, We should lead unto   Judea again. 8[³say ⁴to him ¹The ²disciples], Rabbi, now [³seek ⁴to stone you ¹the ²Jews], and again you go there? 9Jesus answered, [²not ³twelve ¹Are there] hours in the day? If anyone should walk in the day, he shall not stumble, for the light   of this world he sees. 10But if anyone should walk in the night, he stumbles, for the light is not in him. 11These things  he said. And after this he says to them, Lazarus   our friend has went to sleep; but I shall go that I should wake him. 12[²said ³then   ¹His disciples], O Lord, if he has went to sleep, he will be delivered. 13[³had spoken ¹But   ²Jesus] concerning   his death; but they thought that concerning the resting   of sleep he spoke of. 14Then therefore [²said ³to them   ¹Jesus] in an open manner, Lazarus died. 15And I rejoice because of you, (that you should believe,) that I was not there; but we should lead on to him. 16Then said Thomas, the one being called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, We should lead on also ourselves that we should die with him. 17Having come then,   Jesus found him four days already having been  in the sepulchre. 18[³was ¹And   ²Bethany] near   Jerusalem, about   [²stadiums ¹fifteen]. 19And many from the Jews had come to the ones around Martha and Mary, so as to console them concerning   their brother. 20  Then Martha, as she heard that   Jesus comes, met him; but Mary [²in ³the ⁴house ¹was seated]. 21Then said   Martha to   Jesus, O Lord, if you were here,   my brother would not have died. 22But even now I know that as much as you should ask   God, [²will give ³to you   ¹God]. 23[²says ³to her   ¹Jesus], [²shall arise   ¹Your brother]. 24[²says ³to him ¹Martha], I know that he will rise up in the resurrection in the last day.

The Resurrection and the Life

25[²said ³to her   ¹Jesus], I am the resurrection and the life. The one believing in me, even if he should die, he shall live. 26And every one    living and believing in me, in no way should die into the eon. Do you believe this? 27She says to him, Yes, O Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the son   of God, the one [²into ³the ⁴world ¹coming]. 28And these things  having said, she went forth, and called Mary   her sister in private, having said, The teacher is at hand, and calls you. 29That one, as she heard, rises quickly and comes to him. 30But not yet was Jesus come into the town, but was in the place where [²met ³him   ¹Martha]. 31Then the Jews, the ones being with her in the house, and consoling her, seeing   Mary, that quickly she rose up and went forth, they followed her, saying that, She goes unto the sepulchre that she should weep there. 32  Then Mary as she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell unto   his feet, saying to him, O Lord, if you might have been here, [³would not have ⁴died ¹my   ²brother]. 33Jesus then as he beheld her weeping, and the [²coming with ³her ¹Jews] weeping, was deeply moved in the spirit, and troubled himself. 34And he said, Where have you placed him? They say to him, O Lord, come and see! 35Jesus burst into tears. 36Then said the Jews, See how he was fond of him! 37But some of them said, [²not ³able ¹Was this one],   opening the eyes of the blind, to execute that also this one should not have died?

Lazarus Raised from the Dead

38Jesus then again deeply moved in himself comes unto the sepulchre. And it was a cave, and a stone was pressed against it. 39Jesus says, Lift the stone! [⁶says ⁷to him ²the ³sister ⁴of the one ⁵having died ¹Martha], O Lord, already he reeks, [³the fourth day ¹for ²it is]. 40[²says ³to her   ¹Jesus], Did I not say to you, that if you should believe, you shall see the glory   of God? 41Then they lifted away the stone where [³was ¹the one ²having died] situated.   And Jesus lifted his  eyes upward, and said, O father, I give thanks to you that you heard me. 42And I know that at all times you hear me; but on account of the multitude   standing around I spoke, that they should believe that you sent me. 43And these things  having said, [²voice ¹with a great] he cried out, Lazarus, come outside. 44And came forth the one having died, being tied of the feet, and the hands swathed, and   his face with a scarf tied about. [²says ³to them   ¹Jesus], Untie him, and let him  go! 45Then many of the Jews, the ones having come with   Mary, and seeing what Jesus did, believed in him. 46But some of them went forth to the Pharisees, and told to them what Jesus did. 47[⁷gathered together ¹Then ²the ³chief priests ⁴and ⁵the ⁶Pharisees] the sanhedrin, and said, What do we do, for this   man [²many ³signs ¹does]? 48If we let him do  thus, all shall believe in him; and [³shall come ¹the ²Romans] and take us and the place and the nation. 49[³one ¹And ²a certain] of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest   that year, said to them, You do not know anything; 50nor reason that it be advantageous to us that one man should die for the people, and [⁴not ¹the entire   ²nation ³should] perish. 51But this [³of ⁴himself ²not ¹he said]. But being chief priest   that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; 52and not for the nation only, but that also the children   of God, the ones being dispersed, should be brought together into one. 53From that [²then   ¹day] they advised that they should kill him. 54Jesus then no longer in an open manner walked among the Jews, but went forth from there into the place near the wilderness, into [²being called Ephraim ¹a city], and there he spent time with   his disciples. 55And it was near the passover of the Jews; and [²ascended ¹many] unto Jerusalem from out of the region before the passover, that they should purify themselves. 56Then they were seeking   Jesus, and said with one another in the temple standing, What do you think, that in no way should he come unto the holiday feast? 57[⁸gave ¹And ²even ³the ⁴chief priests ⁵and ⁶the ⁷Pharisees] a command, that if any should know where he is, he should indicate it, so that they should lay hold of him.
