At
this
time
a man named
Lazarus
was sick .
He
lived
in
Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Now
a certain
man was sick ,
Lazarus
of
Bethany, of
the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
(Mary,
whose
brother
Lazarus
was
sick,
was to
anoint
the Lord with perfume
and wipe
His feet with her hair. )
And
it
was that
Mary
who
anointed
the Lord with ointment,
and wiped
his feet with her hair ,
whose
brother
Lazarus
was
sick
.
So
the sisters sent word
to
Jesus
, “
Lord, the
one
You
love
is sick. ”
The sisters therefore
sent unto
him
, saying,
Lord, behold,
he
whom
thou
lovest
is sick.
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
. ”
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
.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha ,
and her sister ,
and Lazarus.
So
on
hearing
that Lazarus
was sick, He stayed
where He was for
two
days,
When
therefore
he
heard
that he
was sick, he abode
at
that
time
two
days
in
the
place
where he was .
and
then He said
to the disciples, “
Let us go back
to
Judea
. ”
Then after
this
he saith
to the disciples, Let us go into
Judaea
again
.
“Rabbi
, ”
they
replied
, “
the Jews just
tried
to stone You,
and You
are
going
back
there
? ”
The
disciples
say
unto
him
, Rabbi
, the Jews were
but
now
seeking
to stone thee;
and goest
thou
thither
again
?
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.
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.
But if anyone
walks
at
night, he will
stumble
, because he
has
no
light. ”
But if a
man
walk
in
the
night, he stumbleth
, because the
light is
not
in
him
.
After
He had
said
this ,
He told
them, “
Our friend Lazarus has
fallen asleep ,
but I am
going
there
to
wake
him up
. ”
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
.
His
disciples replied
, “
Lord, if he is sleeping
, he will get
better
. ”
The
disciples therefore
said
unto
him
, Lord, if he is fallen
asleep
, he will recover
.
They thought that Jesus
was
talking
about
actual
sleep,
but
He was
speaking
about
the
death
of Lazarus
.
Now
Jesus
had
spoken
of
his
death:
but
they thought that he spake
of taking
rest
in
sleep
.
So
Jesus told
them plainly, “
Lazarus is dead ,
Then
Jesus therefore
said
unto
them plainly, Lazarus is dead .
and for
your
sake
I am glad I was not there, so
that
you
may believe .
But
let us go to
him. ”
And I am glad for
your
sakes
that
I was not there, to
the
intent
ye
may believe ;
nevertheless
let us go unto
him.
Then
Thomas called Didymus said to
his fellow disciples, “
Let us also go, so
that we may die with Him. ”
Thomas therefore,
who
is
called Didymus ,
said unto
his fellow -
disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
When Jesus arrived
, He found that Lazarus
had already
spent
four
days
in the tomb.
So
when Jesus came
, he found that he
had been
in the tomb four
days
already
.
Now Bethany was near
Jerusalem, a
little
less
than
two
miles
away,
Now Bethany was nigh
unto
Jerusalem, about
fifteen
furlongs
off;
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in
the
loss
of
their brother.
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary ,
to console them concerning
their brother.
So
when
Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she
went out
to
meet
Him ;
but Mary stayed
at
home
.
Martha therefore,
when
she
heard that Jesus was coming, went and
met
him :
but Mary still
sat
in
the
house
.
Martha said to
Jesus, “
Lord, if You
had
been here, my brother would
not have
died.
Martha therefore
said unto
Jesus, Lord, if thou
hadst
been here, my brother had
not died.
But
even now I know that God will give You
whatever
You
ask
of
Him
. ”
And
even now I know that ,
whatsoever
thou
shalt
ask
of
God ,
God
will give thee
.
“Your
brother will
rise again ,”
Jesus
told
her
.
Jesus
saith
unto
her,
Thy
brother shall
rise again.
Martha replied
, “
I know that he will
rise again in the resurrection at the last day. ”
Martha saith
unto
him
, I know that he shall
rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Jesus said to
her, “
I am the resurrection and the life .
Whoever
believes
in
Me will
live
, even
though he dies.
Jesus said unto
her, I am the resurrection ,
and the life :
he
that
believeth
on
me, though he die,
yet
shall
he
live;
And everyone
who
lives
and believes
in
Me will
never die. Do
you
believe
this? ”
and whosoever
liveth
and believeth
on
me shall
never die. Believest
thou
this?
“Yes,
Lord,”
she answered
, “
I believe
that You
are
the Christ, the Son of God, who
was
to
come
into the world. ”
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.
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
when
she
had said this, she went away,
and called Mary her sister
secretly
, saying,
The Teacher is her,
and calleth
thee
.
And when Mary
heard this
, she
got
up
quickly and went to
Him.
And she,
when she
heard it
, arose
quickly ,
and went unto
him.
Now Jesus had
not yet entered
the village, but was still at
the place where Martha had
met Him.
(
Now Jesus was
not yet come
into
the village, but was still in
the place where Martha met him. )
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.
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
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. ”
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 Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had
come
with her also
weeping
, He was
deeply
moved
in spirit and troubled .
When Jesus therefore
saw her weeping, and the Jews `also'
weeping
who came
with her, he groaned
in the
spirit ,
and was
troubled ,
“
Where have you
put
him? ”
He
asked.
“Come
and
see
, Lord, ”
they
answered
.
and
said,
Where have ye
laid
him? They
say
unto
him
, Lord, come
and
see
.
Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
Then
the Jews said, “See
how He loved him! ”
The Jews therefore
said, Behold
how he loved him!
But some of them asked
, “
Could not this man who opened the eyes of the
blind also
have kept
Lazarus
from
dying
? ”
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
?
Jesus ,
once
again deeply
moved,
came
to the tomb. It was a cave with
a stone laid
across
the
entrance
.
Jesus therefore
again groaning
in
himself
cometh
to the tomb. Now
it was a cave ,
and
a stone lay
against
it
.
“
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,
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.
Jesus replied
, “Did
I not tell
you
that if you
believed
, you
would
see the glory of God? ”
Jesus saith
unto
her
, Said
I not unto
thee,
that ,
if thou
believedst
, thou
shouldest
see the glory of God?
So they took away the stone. Then
Jesus lifted His eyes upward
and said, “
Father, I thank You
that You
have
heard
Me.
So they took away the stone. And
Jesus lifted up
his eyes ,
and said, Father, I thank thee
that thou
heardest
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
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.
After
Jesus
had said
this
, He called
out
in
a loud voice, “
Lazarus, come out!”
And
when
he
had thus
spoken
, he cried
with
a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
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
.
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.
Therefore
many of the Jews who had
come
to Mary ,
and had
seen
what
Jesus
did, believed in
Him.
Many therefore
of the Jews ,
who came
to Mary and beheld
that
which
he
did, believed on
him.
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what
Jesus had done.
But some of them went away
to the Pharisees ,
and told them the
things
which
Jesus had done.
Then
the chief priests and Pharisees
convened
the Sanhedrin
and said, “
What are
we
to
do? This man is
performing
many signs.
The chief priests therefore
and the Pharisees
gathered
a
council,
and said, What do we
? for
this man doeth
many signs.
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. ”
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.
But one of them, named
Caiaphas, who
was
high priest that year, said to
them, “You
know nothing at all !
But a
certain
one of them, Caiaphas, being
high priest that year, said unto
them, Ye
know nothing at all ,
You
do not
realize
that it is better
for you that one man die for the people than
that the whole nation perish. ”
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
.
Caiaphas
did
not
say
this on
his
own.
Instead
, as
high priest that year, he was
prophesying
that Jesus would
die for the nation ,
Now
this he
said
not
of
himself:
but
, being
high priest that year, he prophesied
that Jesus should
die for the nation ;
and not only
for the nation, but also for
the
scattered
children
of
God,
to
gather them
together into one.
and not for the nation only
, but that
he
might
also gather together into one the
children
of
God
that
are
scattered
abroad
.
So from that day on
they plotted
to
kill
Him.
So from that day forth
they took
counsel
that
they
might
put
him to
death
.
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.
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.
Now the Jewish
Passover was near,
and many people
went up from
the
country
to Jerusalem to
purify
themselves
before the Passover.
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
.
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
? ”
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?
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.
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.
