John 11 — DBY
11Verse 1Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.Verse 2It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.Verse 3The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.Verse 4But 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 by it.Verse 5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.Verse 6When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.Verse 7Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.Verse 8The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?Verse 9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;Verse 10but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.Verse 11These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.Verse 12The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.Verse 13But Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.Verse 14Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.Verse 15And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.Verse 16Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.Verse 17Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.Verse 18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,Verse 19and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.Verse 20Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.Verse 21Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;Verse 22but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of°God,°God will give thee.Verse 23Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.Verse 24Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.Verse 25Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;Verse 26and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?Verse 27She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of°God, who should come into the world.Verse 28And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.Verse 29She, when she heard [that], rises up quickly and comes to him.Verse 30Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.Verse 31The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.Verse 32Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.Verse 33Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,Verse 34and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.Verse 35Jesus wept.Verse 36The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!Verse 37And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died?Verse 38Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.Verse 39Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days [there].Verse 40Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of°God?Verse 41They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;Verse 42but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.Verse 43And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.Verse 44And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.Verse 45Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;Verse 46but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.Verse 47The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.Verse 48If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.Verse 49But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothingVerse 50nor consider that it is profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish.Verse 51But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;Verse 52and not for the nation only, but that he should also gather together into one the children of°God who were scattered abroad.Verse 53From that day therefore they took counsel that they might kill him.Verse 54Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he sojourned with the disciples.Verse 55But the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves.Verse 56They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come to the feast?Verse 57Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might take him.
