Berean Standard Bible
Now
a certain
man was
sick,
named Lazarus ,
of
Bethany, the town
of Mary and her sister Martha.
At
this
time
a man named Lazarus was
sick.
He
lived
in
Bethany, the village
of Mary and her sister Martha.
( It
was
that
Mary which
anointed
the Lord with ointment,
and wiped
his feet with her hair ,
whose
brother
Lazarus
was
sick
.)
(Mary ,
whose
brother
Lazarus
was
sick,
was
to
anoint
the Lord with perfume
and wipe
His feet with her hair.)
Therefore
his
sisters sent unto
him,
saying
, Lord, behold,
he
whom
thou
lovest
is sick.
So
the
sisters sent word
to
Jesus
, “
Lord, the
one
You
love
is sick. ”
When Jesus heard that
, he said, This sickness is
not unto
death, but
for the glory of God, that the Son of God might
be glorified thereby
.
When Jesus heard this
, He said, “
This sickness will
not end
in
death .
No
, it
is
for the glory of God, so
that the Son of God may
be glorified through
it
. ”
Now Jesus loved Martha ,
and her sister ,
and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
When
he
had
heard
therefore
that he
was sick, he abode
two
days
still
in
the
same
place
where he was .
So
on
hearing
that Lazarus
was sick, He stayed
where He was for
two
days,
Then after
that
saith
he to his
disciples, Let us go into
Judaea
again
.
and
then He said
to the
disciples, “
Let us go back
to
Judea
. ”
His
disciples
say
unto
him
, Master
, the Jews of
late
sought
to stone thee;
and goest
thou
thither
again
?
“Rabbi
, ”
they
replied
, “
the Jews just
tried
to stone You,
and You
are
going
back
there
? ”
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in
the
day
? If any
man
walk
in the day
, he stumbleth
not, because he seeth
the light of this world.
Jesus answered, “
Are there not twelve hours of
daylight
? If anyone
walks
in the daytime
, he will
not stumble
, because he sees
by
the light of this world.
But if a
man
walk
in
the
night, he stumbleth
, because there
is
no light in
him
.
But if anyone
walks
at
night, he will
stumble
, because he
has
no light. ”
These
things
said
he:
and
after that
he saith
unto
them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth;
but
I
go
, that
I may
awake
him out
of
sleep
.
After He had
said
this,
He
told
them, “
Our friend Lazarus has
fallen
asleep
, but
I am
going
there
to
wake
him up
. ”
Then
said
his disciples, Lord, if he sleep
, he shall
do
well
.
His disciples replied
, “
Lord, if he is
sleeping
, he will
get
better
. ”
Howbeit
Jesus
spake
of
his
death:
but
they thought that he had
spoken
of
taking
of rest
in
sleep
.
They thought that Jesus
was
talking
about
actual
sleep,
but
He was
speaking
about
the
death
of Lazarus
.
Then
said
Jesus unto
them plainly, Lazarus is dead .
So
Jesus told
them plainly, “
Lazarus is dead ,
And I am glad for
your
sakes
that
I was not there, to
the
intent
ye
may believe ;
nevertheless
let us go unto
him.
and for
your
sake
I am glad I was not there, so
that
you
may believe .
But
let us go to
him. ”
Then said
Thomas ,
which
is
called Didymus ,
unto
his fellowdisciples
, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Then Thomas called Didymus said
to
his fellow
disciples
, “
Let us also go, so
that we may die with Him. ”
Then
when Jesus came
, he found that he
had lain
in
the
grave
four days already
.
When Jesus arrived
, He found that Lazarus
had already
spent
four days in
the
tomb
.
Now Bethany was nigh
unto
Jerusalem, about
fifteen
furlongs
off:
Now Bethany was near
Jerusalem, a
little
less
than
two
miles
away,
And many of the Jews came
to Martha and Mary ,
to comfort
them concerning
their brother.
and many of the Jews had
come
to Martha and Mary to console
them in
the
loss
of
their brother.
Then
Martha ,
as
soon
as
she
heard that Jesus was coming, went and
met
him :
but Mary sat
still
in
the
house
.
So
when
Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she
went out
to
meet
Him ;
but Mary stayed
at
home
.
Then
said
Martha unto
Jesus, Lord, if thou
hadst
been here, my brother had
not died.
Martha said
to
Jesus, “
Lord, if You
had
been here, my brother would
not have
died.
But I know ,
that even
now,
whatsoever
thou
wilt
ask
of
God ,
God
will give it
thee
.
But even
now
I know that God will give You
whatever
You
ask
of
Him
. ”
Jesus
saith
unto
her,
Thy
brother shall
rise again.
“Your
brother will
rise again ,”
Jesus
told
her
.
Martha saith
unto
him
, I know that he shall
rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Martha replied
, “
I know that he will
rise again in the resurrection at the last day. ”
Jesus said unto
her, I am the resurrection ,
and the life :
he
that
believeth
in me, though he were
dead,
yet
shall
he
live:
Jesus said to
her, “
I am the resurrection and the life .
Whoever
believes
in Me will
live
, even
though he dies.
And whosoever
liveth
and believeth
in me shall
never die. Believest
thou
this?
And everyone
who
lives
and believes
in Me will
never die. Do
you
believe
this? ”
She
saith
unto
him,
Yea
, Lord :
I believe that thou
art
the Christ, the Son of God, which
should
come into the world.
“Yes
, Lord ,”
she
answered,
“
I believe that You
are
the Christ, the Son of God, who
was
to
come into the world. ”
And
when
she
had so
said, she went her
way,
and called Mary
her sister secretly,
saying
, The Master
is come,
and calleth
for thee
.
After
Martha
had said this
, she went back
and called her sister Mary
aside
to
tell
her
, “
The Teacher
is here
and is
asking
for you
. ”
As
soon
as
she
heard that
, she arose
quickly ,
and came
unto
him.
And
when
Mary
heard this
, she got
up
quickly and went
to
Him.
Now Jesus was
not yet come
into
the town
, but was in
that
place where Martha met him.
Now Jesus had
not yet entered
the village
, but was still
at
the
place where Martha had
met Him.
The Jews then
which
were with
her
in the house ,
and
comforted
her,
when
they
saw
Mary ,
that
she rose
up hastily
and went out, followed her, saying,
She goeth
unto
the grave
to weep
there.
When
the Jews who
were in the house consoling
Mary saw
how
quickly
she got
up and went out, they
followed her, supposing
she was
going
to
the tomb
to mourn
there.
Then
when Mary was
come
where
Jesus was,
and saw him, she fell down
at his feet ,
saying
unto
him
, Lord, if thou
hadst
been here, my brother had
not died.
When Mary came
to
Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and
said
, “
Lord, if You
had
been here, my brother would
not have
died. ”
When Jesus therefore
saw her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping
which
came
with her, he groaned
in the
spirit ,
and was
troubled.
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who
had
come
with her also
weeping
, He was
deeply
moved
in spirit and troubled.
And
said,
Where have ye
laid
him? They
said
unto
him,
Lord,
come and see.
“
Where have you
put
him? ”
He
asked.
“
Come and see ,
Lord,”
they
answered
.
Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
Then said
the Jews, Behold
how he loved him!
Then the Jews said
, “See
how He loved him! ”
And
some of them said
, Could not this man ,
which
opened the eyes of the blind ,
have
caused
that
even
this
man
should
not
have died
?
But
some of them asked
, “
Could not this man who
opened the eyes of the blind also
have kept
Lazarus
from
dying
? ”
Jesus therefore
again groaning
in
himself
cometh
to the grave
. It was a cave ,
and
a stone lay
upon
it
.
Jesus ,
once
again deeply
moved,
came
to the tomb
. It was a cave with
a stone laid
across
the
entrance
.
Jesus
said,
Take ye
away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
that
was
dead ,
saith
unto
him,
Lord,
by
this
time
he
stinketh:
for
he
hath
been dead
four days.
“
Take away the stone ,”
Jesus
said
. “Lord,
by
now
he
stinks,”
said
Martha, the sister of the
dead man.
“It
has
already
been four days. ”
Jesus saith
unto
her
, Said
I not unto
thee,
that ,
if thou
wouldest
believe
, thou
shouldest
see the glory of God?
Jesus replied
, “Did
I not tell
you
that if you
believed
, you
would
see the glory of God? ”
Then
they took away the stone from
the
place
where
the
dead
was
laid
. And
Jesus lifted up
his eyes ,
and said, Father, I thank thee
that thou
hast
heard me.
So
they took away the stone. Then
Jesus lifted His eyes upward
and said, “
Father, I thank You
that You
have
heard Me.
And
I knew that thou
hearest
me
always :
but because
of the people which
stand
by
I
said
it
, that
they may believe that thou
hast
sent me.
I knew that You
always hear
Me,
but I
say
this
for
the
benefit
of the people standing
here
, so
they may believe that You
sent Me. ”
And
when
he
thus
had spoken
, he cried
with
a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
After
Jesus
had said
this
, He called
out
in
a loud voice, “
Lazarus, come out!”
And
he
that
was
dead came forth,
bound
hand
and
foot
with graveclothes:
and his face was
bound
about
with
a napkin
. Jesus
saith
unto
them,
Loose
him ,
and let him go.
The
man
who
had
been
dead came out
with his
hands
and feet
bound
in
strips
of
linen,
and
his face wrapped
in
a cloth
. “Unwrap
him and let him go ,”
Jesus
told
them
.
Then
many of the Jews which
came
to Mary, and had seen the
things
which
Jesus did, believed on
him.
Therefore
many of the Jews who
had
come
to Mary, and had seen what
Jesus did, believed in
Him.
But some of them went their
ways
to the Pharisees ,
and told them what things
Jesus had done.
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Then gathered
the chief priests and the
Pharisees a
council,
and said, What do
we? for
this man doeth
many miracles
.
Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened
the
Sanhedrin
and said, “
What are
we to
do
? This man is
performing
many signs
.
If we let him thus
alone
, all
men
will believe on
him :
and the Romans shall
come and take away both our place and nation.
If we let Him go
on
like
this
, everyone
will believe in
Him ,
and then
the Romans will
come and take away both our place and our
nation. ”
And
one of them, named Caiaphas, being
the
high priest that same
year, said unto
them, Ye
know nothing at all ,
But
one of them, named Caiaphas, who
was
high priest that year, said to
them, “You
know nothing at all !
Nor
consider
that it is expedient
for us,
that one man should
die for the people ,
and
that the whole nation perish not
.
You
do
not
realize
that it is better
for you
that one man die for the people than
that the whole nation perish. ”
And
this
spake
he
not of
himself:
but
being
high priest that year, he prophesied
that Jesus should
die for that
nation ;
Caiaphas
did
not say
this
on
his
own.
Instead,
as
high priest that year, he was
prophesying
that Jesus would
die for the
nation ,
And not for that
nation only
, but that
also he
should
gather
together
in
one
the children of God that
were
scattered
abroad
.
and not only
for the
nation, but also for
the scattered
children of God ,
to
gather
them
together
into
one
.
Then
from that day forth
they took
counsel
together
for
to put
him to
death
.
So
from that day on
they plotted
to kill
Him.
Jesus therefore
walked
no more
openly
among the Jews ;
but went
thence
unto
a
country
near
to the
wilderness,
into
a city
called Ephraim ,
and there continued
with his
disciples.
As
a
result,
Jesus no longer
went
about
publicly
among the Jews ,
but He
withdrew
to a town
called Ephraim in
an
area
near
the
wilderness.
And He
stayed
there with the
disciples.
And
the Jews'
passover was nigh
at
hand:
and many went out
of
the country up
to Jerusalem before
the
passover,
to purify themselves.
Now
the Jewish
Passover was near,
and many people
went up
from
the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before
the
Passover
.
Then
sought
they for Jesus ,
and spake
among
themselves,
as they stood in the temple, What think ye,
that
he
will not
come to the feast?
They kept
looking
for Jesus and asking
one
another
as they stood in the temple courts
, “
What do
you
think ?
Will He
come to the feast at
all
? ”
Now
both
the chief priests and the
Pharisees had given a
commandment,
that ,
if
any
man
knew where he were,
he
should
shew
it, that they might
take
him.
But
the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders
that anyone
who
knew where He was
must
report
it, so
that they could
arrest
Him.
