Berean Standard Bible
Now
a certain
man was sick ,
Lazarus
of
Bethany, of
the village 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.
And
it
was
that
Mary who
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. )
The sisters therefore
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. ”
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
.
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
therefore
he
heard
that he
was sick, he abode
at
that
time
two
days
in
the
place
where he was .
So
on
hearing
that Lazarus
was sick, He stayed
where He was for
two
days,
Then after
this
he saith
to the disciples, Let us go into
Judaea
again
.
and
then He said
to the disciples, “
Let us go back
to
Judea
. ”
The
disciples
say
unto
him,
Rabbi, the Jews were
but
now
seeking
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 a
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 the
light is
not
in
him
.
But if anyone
walks
at
night, he will
stumble
, because he
has
no
light. ”
These
things
spake
he:
and
after this he saith
unto
them, Our friend Lazarus is
fallen asleep ;
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
. ”
The
disciples therefore
said
unto
him
, Lord, if he is fallen
asleep
, he will recover
.
His
disciples replied
, “
Lord, if he is sleeping
, he will get
better
. ”
Now
Jesus
had
spoken
of
his
death:
but
they thought that he spake
of taking
rest
in
sleep
.
They thought that Jesus
was
talking
about
actual
sleep,
but
He was
speaking
about
the
death
of Lazarus
.
Then
Jesus therefore
said
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. ”
Thomas therefore,
who
is
called Didymus ,
said unto
his fellow -
disciples, 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. ”
So
when Jesus came
, he found that he
had been
in the tomb 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 had come to Martha and Mary ,
to console them concerning
their brother.
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in
the
loss
of
their brother.
Martha
therefore,
when she
heard that Jesus was coming, went and
met
him :
but Mary still
sat
in
the
house
.
So
when Martha
heard that Jesus was coming, she
went out
to
meet
Him ;
but Mary stayed
at
home
.
Martha therefore
said 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.
And
even now I know that ,
whatsoever
thou
shalt
ask
of
God ,
God
will give 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
on
me, though he die,
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
on
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 have
believed
that thou
art
the Christ, the Son of God, `even'
he
that
cometh
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 said this, she went away,
and called Mary
her sister secretly,
saying
, The Teacher is her,
and calleth
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
. ”
And she,
when she
heard it
, arose
quickly ,
and went unto
him.
And when Mary
heard this
, she
got
up
quickly and went to
Him.
(
Now Jesus was
not yet come
into
the village, but was still in
the 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
who were with
her
in the house ,
and
were
consoling her,
when
they
saw
Mary ,
that
she rose
up quickly
and went out, followed her, supposing that
she was going unto
the tomb 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.
Mary
therefore,
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.
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
who 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
say
unto
him,
Lord,
come and see.
“
Where have you
put
him? ”
He
asked.
“
Come and see ,
Lord,”
they
answered
.
Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
The Jews therefore
said, Behold
how he loved him!
Then
the Jews said, “See
how He loved him! ”
But some of them said
, Could not this man ,
who opened the eyes of him
that
was
blind ,
have
caused
that
this
man
also should
not
die
?
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 tomb. Now
it was a cave ,
and
a stone lay
against
it
.
Jesus ,
once
again deeply
moved,
came
to the tomb. It was a cave with
a stone laid
across
the
entrance
.
Jesus
saith,
Take ye
away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
that
was
dead,
saith
unto
him,
Lord,
by
this
time
the body
decayeth;
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
believedst
, 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? ”
So they took away the stone. And
Jesus lifted up
his eyes ,
and said, Father, I thank thee
that thou
heardest
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 multitude
that
standeth
around
I
said
it
, that
they may believe that thou
didst
send
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
had thus
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!”
He
that
was
dead came forth,
bound
hand
and
foot
with grave-clothes;
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
.
Many
therefore of the Jews ,
who came
to Mary and beheld
that
which
he
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 away
to the Pharisees ,
and told them the
things
which
Jesus had done.
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what
Jesus had done.
The chief priests therefore
and the
Pharisees gathered
a
council,
and said, What do
we? for
this man doeth
many signs.
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 will come and take away both our place and our 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. ”
But a
certain
one of them, Caiaphas, being
high priest that 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
do ye
take
account
that it is expedient
for you 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. ”
Now
this
he
said
not of
himself:
but
, being
high priest that year, he prophesied
that Jesus should
die for the 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 the nation only
, but that
he
might
also gather
together
into
one
the children of God that
are
scattered
abroad
.
and not only
for the nation, but also for
the scattered
children of God ,
to
gather
them
together
into
one
.
So from that day forth
they
took
counsel
that
they might
put
him
to death
.
So from that day on
they plotted
to kill
Him
.
Jesus therefore
walked
no more
openly
among the Jews, but departed
thence
into
the
country
near
to the
wilderness,
into
a city
called Ephraim ;
and there
he tarried
with the 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.
Now the passover of
the
Jews
was at
hand:
and many went up to
Jerusalem
out
of
the country 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
.
They sought
therefore
for Jesus ,
and spake
one with
another ,
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
the chief priests and the
Pharisees had given commandment,
that ,
if
any
man
knew where he was ,
he
should
show
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.
