King James Version
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 ,
named
Lazarus,
of
Bethany, the town
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.)
( It
was that
Mary
which
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. ”
Therefore
his
sisters 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
. ”
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
.
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
he
had
heard
therefore
that he
was sick, he abode
two
days
still
in
the
same
place
where he was .
and
then He said
to the
disciples, “
Let us go back
to
Judea
. ”
Then after
that
saith
he to his
disciples, Let us go into
Judaea
again
.
“Rabbi
, ”
they
replied
, “
the Jews just
tried
to stone You,
and You
are
going
back
there
? ”
His
disciples
say
unto
him
, Master
, the Jews of
late
sought
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 any
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 there
is
no light 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
said he :
and
after
that
he
saith
unto
them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth;
but I go,
that
I
may
awake
him out
of
sleep
.
His disciples replied
, “
Lord, if he is
sleeping
, he will
get
better
. ”
Then
said
his disciples, Lord, if he sleep
, he shall
do
well
.
They thought that Jesus
was
talking
about
actual
sleep,
but
He was
speaking
about
the
death
of Lazarus
.
Howbeit
Jesus
spake
of
his
death:
but
they thought that he had
spoken
of taking
of
rest
in
sleep
.
So
Jesus told
them plainly, “
Lazarus is dead ,
Then
said
Jesus 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. ”
Then said
Thomas ,
which
is
called Didymus ,
unto
his fellowdisciples
, 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
.
Then
when Jesus came
, he found that he
had lain
in the grave
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 came
to Martha and Mary ,
to comfort
them concerning
their brother.
So
when
Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she
went out
to
meet
Him ;
but Mary stayed
at
home
.
Then
Martha ,
as
soon
as
she
heard that Jesus was coming, went and
met
him :
but Mary sat
still
in
the
house
.
Martha
said to
Jesus, “
Lord, if You
had
been here, my brother would
not have
died.
Then
said Martha
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
. ”
But I know ,
that even
now,
whatsoever
thou
wilt
ask
of
God ,
God
will give it
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
in me, though he were
dead,
yet
shall
he
live:
And everyone
who
lives
and believes
in Me will
never die. Do
you
believe
this? ”
And whosoever
liveth
and believeth
in 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 believe that thou
art
the Christ, the Son of God, which
should
come 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 so
said, she went her
way,
and called Mary her sister
secretly
, saying,
The Master
is come,
and calleth
for thee
.
And
when
Mary
heard this
, she got
up
quickly and went
to
Him.
As
soon
as
she
heard that
, she arose
quickly ,
and came
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 town
, but was in
that
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
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 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. ”
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 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 which
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
said
unto
him
, Lord, come
and
see
.
Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
Then the Jews said
, “See
how He loved him! ”
Then said
the Jews, 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
? ”
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
?
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 grave
. It was a cave ,
and
a stone lay
upon
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
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.
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
wouldest
believe
, 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.
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.
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 people which
stand
by
I
said
it
, that
they may believe that thou
hast
sent me.
After
Jesus
had said
this
, He called
out
in
a loud voice, “
Lazarus, come out!”
And
when
he
thus
had 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
.
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.
Therefore
many of the Jews who
had
come
to Mary, and had seen what
Jesus did, believed in
Him.
Then
many of the Jews which
came
to Mary, and had seen the
things
which
Jesus did, believed on
him.
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
But some of them went their
ways
to the Pharisees ,
and told them what things
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
.
Then gathered
the chief priests and the Pharisees
a
council,
and said, What do we
? for
this man doeth
many miracles
.
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 shall
come and take away both our place and nation.
But
one of them, named Caiaphas, who
was
high priest that year, said to
them, “You
know nothing at all !
And
one of them, named Caiaphas, being
the
high priest that same
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
consider
that it is expedient
for us,
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 ,
And
this spake
he
not
of
himself:
but
being
high priest that year, he prophesied
that Jesus should
die for that
nation ;
and not only
for the
nation, but also for
the scattered
children of God ,
to
gather
them
together
into
one
.
And not for that
nation only
, but that
also he
should
gather
together
in
one
the children of God that
were
scattered
abroad
.
So
from that day on
they plotted
to kill
Him.
Then
from that day forth
they took
counsel
together
for
to 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 went
thence
unto
a country
near to
the wilderness ,
into
a
city
called
Ephraim,
and there continued
with his
disciples.
Now
the Jewish
Passover was near,
and many people
went up
from
the country to Jerusalem to
purify
themselves
before the Passover.
And
the Jews'
passover was nigh
at
hand:
and many went out
of
the country up
to Jerusalem 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
? ”
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?
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
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.
