Berean Standard Bible
And
there
was
a certain
one
ailing,
Lazarus ,
from
Bethany, of
the village of Mary and Martha
her sister --
At
this
time
a man
named
Lazarus was
sick.
He
lived
in
Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
and
it
was
Mary who
did
anoint the Lord with ointment,
and did
wipe his feet with her hair ,
whose
brother
Lazarus
was
ailing
--
(
Mary ,
whose
brother
Lazarus
was
sick,
was
to
anoint the Lord with perfume
and wipe His feet with her hair .)
therefore
sent
the sisters unto
him,
saying,
`Sir
, lo
, he
whom
thou
dost
love is ailing;'
So
the sisters sent
word
to
Jesus
, “Lord
, the
one
You
love is sick.”
and
Jesus having
heard, said, `
This ailment
is
not unto
death, but
for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it. '
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. ”
And
Jesus was
loving
Martha ,
and her sister ,
and Lazarus ,
Now
Jesus loved
Martha and her sister and Lazarus .
when,
therefore,
he
heard
that he
is
ailing
, then
indeed
he remained
in
the
place
in
which
he was two days,
So
on
hearing
that Lazarus
was
sick
, He stayed
where
He was for
two days,
then after
this,
he saith
to the disciples, `We
may
go to Judea again;'
and
then He said
to the disciples, “Let
us
go back
to Judea .”
the
disciples
say
to
him,
`
Rabbi, now
were
the Jews seeking
to stone thee
, and again
thou
dost
go
thither!'
“
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
one
may
walk
in the day
, he doth
not stumble, because the light of this world he
doth
see;
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 .
and
if any
one
may
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
he said ,
and
after
this he saith
to
them, `Lazarus
our friend hath
fallen asleep, but I go
on
that
I
may
awake
him ;'
After
He had
said this ,
He told
them, “
Our friend Lazarus
has
fallen asleep, but I am
going
there
to
wake
him up.”
therefore
said
his disciples, `Sir
, if he hath
fallen
asleep
, he will be
saved;'
His disciples replied
, “Lord
, if he is
sleeping
, he will get
better.”
but
Jesus had
spoken
about his
death
, but they
thought
that
about the repose
of sleep
he
speaketh
.
They
thought
that
Jesus was
talking
about actual
sleep
, but He
was
speaking
about the death
of Lazarus
.
Then,
therefore,
Jesus said
to
them freely
, `
Lazarus hath
died;
So
Jesus told
them plainly
, “
Lazarus is
dead,
and I
rejoice,
for your sake ,
(that
ye
may
believe,)
that
I was not there ;
but
we
may go to him ;'
and for your sake I am
glad
I
was not there ,
so
that
you
may believe.
But
let
us
go to him .”
therefore
said
Thomas ,
who
is
called Didymus ,
to the
fellow -
disciples, `We
may
go
--
we
also, 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 .”
Jesus ,
therefore,
having
come
, found him
having
been
four days already
in the tomb.
When
Jesus arrived
, He
found that
Lazarus
had
already
spent
four days in the tomb.
And
Bethany was nigh
to
Jerusalem, about
fifteen
furlongs
off
,
Now
Bethany was near
Jerusalem, a
little
less
than
two
miles
away
,
and many of the Jews had come unto
Martha and Mary ,
that
they
might
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 .
Martha,
therefore,
when she
heard that Jesus doth
come
, met
him ,
and
Mary kept
sitting
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, `Sir
, 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 even now ,
I have
known
that whatever
thou
mayest
ask
of
God ,
God
will give to
thee;'
But even now I know
that God will give You
whatever
You
ask
of
Him.”
Jesus
saith
to
her,
`Thy
brother shall
rise again. '
“Your
brother will
rise again ,”
Jesus
told
her
.
Martha saith
to
him
, `
I have
known
that he will rise again ,
in the rising
again
in
the last day ;'
Martha replied
, “
I know
that he will rise again in the resurrection
at
the last day .”
Jesus said to her, `
I am the rising
again,
and the life ;
he
who
is
believing
in me, even if
he may
die,
shall
live;
Jesus said to her, “
I am the resurrection
and the life .
Whoever
believes
in Me will
live
, even though
he dies.
and every
one
who is
living
and believing
in me shall
not
die --
to
the
age;
And everyone
who lives
and believes
in Me will
never
die .
Do
you
believe
this?”
believest
thou
this?'
she
saith
to
him,
`
Yes, sir
, I have
believed
that thou
art
the Christ, the Son of God, who is
coming
to 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
these
things
having
said, she went away,
and called Mary
her sister privately,
saying
, `
The Teacher is present,
and doth
call
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.”
she,
when she
heard, riseth
up quickly ,
and doth
come
to him ;
And
when Mary
heard this
, she
got
up quickly and went
to Him .
and
Jesus had not yet come
to
the village, but was 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 ,
therefore,
who were with
her
in the house ,
and
were
comforting
her,
having
seen
Mary that
she rose
up quickly
and went forth
, followed her, saying
--
`
She doth
go
away
to the tomb ,
that
she
may
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,
having
seen
him, fell at his feet ,
saying
to
him
, `Sir
, 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 .”
Jesus,
therefore,
when he
saw her weeping, and the Jews who came
with her weeping, did
groan
in the
spirit ,
and troubled himself,
and
he
said,
When Jesus
saw her weeping, and the Jews who had
come
with her also
weeping, He
was
deeply
moved
in spirit and troubled .
`
Where have ye
laid
him? '
they
say
to
him,
`Sir,
come and see ;'
“
Where have you
put
him? ”
He
asked.
“
Come and see ,
Lord,”
they
answered.
Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
The Jews ,
therefore,
said, `Lo,
how he was
loving
him! '
Then
the Jews said, “See
how He loved
him! ”
and
certain
of them said
, `Was
not this one,
who did
open
the eyes of the blind man,
able
to
cause
that
also this
one
might
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 tomb ,
and
it was a cave ,
and
a stone was
lying
upon
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 ;'
the
sister
of
him
who
hath
died
--
Martha
--
saith
to
him
, `Sir
, already
he stinketh
, for
he
is
four days dead;'
“
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
to
her
, `Said
I not to
thee,
that if thou
mayest
believe
, thou
shalt
see the glory of God? '
Jesus replied
, “Did
I not tell
you
that if you
believed
, you
would
see the glory of God? ”
They took away ,
therefore,
the stone where
the
dead
was
laid,
and
Jesus lifted his eyes upwards,
and said, `
Father, I thank Thee,
that Thou
didst
hear
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
always dost
hear me, but ,
because
of the multitude
that
is
standing by,
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
these
things
saying
, with
a loud voice he
cried
out
, `
Lazarus, come forth;'
After
Jesus
had
said
this
, He
called
out
in
a loud voice, “
Lazarus, come out!”
and
he
who died
came forth,
being
bound
feet
and
hands
with grave-clothes
, and his visage
with
a napkin
was
bound
about;
Jesus
saith
to
them,
`Loose
him ,
and suffer
to
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
unto
Mary, and beheld
what Jesus did, believed in him ;
Therefore many
of the Jews who had
come
to
Mary, and had
seen
what Jesus did, believed in Him .
but certain
of them went away
unto
the Pharisees ,
and told them what Jesus did;
But some
of them went to
the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had
done.
the chief priests ,
therefore,
and the
Pharisees ,
gathered
together
a
sanhedrim,
and said, `
What may
we do? because
this man doth
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 may
let him alone
thus
, all
will believe in him ;
and the Romans will come ,
and will
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
a
certain
one of them, Caiaphas, being
chief
priest of
that year, said to them, `Ye
have
not
known
anything,
But
one of them, named
Caiaphas, who
was
high
priest that year, said to them, “You
know
nothing
at
all!
nor
reason
that it is good
for us
that one man may
die for the people ,
and
not
the whole nation perish. '
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
he
said
not of
himself
, but
being
chief
priest of
that year, he did
prophesy
that Jesus was
about
to
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
also the children of God, who
have
been
scattered
abroad,
he
may
gather together into one.
and not only
for the nation, but also for
the scattered
children of God, to
gather them
together into one.
From that day ,
therefore,
they
took
counsel
together
that
they may
kill him ;
So
from that day on
they plotted
to
kill Him .
Jesus,
therefore
, was
no more
freely
walking
among the Jews, but went
away
thence
to
the
region
nigh
the
wilderness,
to a city
called Ephraim ,
and there
he tarried
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 passover of
the
Jews
was nigh
, and many went up to
Jerusalem
out
of
the country before the passover ,
that
they
might
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 were
seeking,
therefore,
Jesus ,
and said
one with
another ,
standing
in the temple, `
What doth
appear
to
you --
that
he may
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
? ”
and
both
the chief priests and the
Pharisees had given a
command,
that if
any
one
may
know
where he is,
he
may
shew
`
it '
, so that they may
seize
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.
