Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
The Death of Lazarus
Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
(This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)
It was [the] 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 to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son 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 by it.
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,
When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.
and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
“But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”
The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.
Jesus 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;
It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
These 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.
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”
The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
But Jesus spoke of his death, but *they* thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.
So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.
and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.
Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let *us* also go, that we may die with him.

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.
“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;
and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.
After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”
And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.

The 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.
When Mary reached the place where Jesus was 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, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

“Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days [there].
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;
I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
but 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.
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
And 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.

The Plot to Kill Jesus
Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;

Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.
“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.
The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does 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 temple and our nation.”
If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all!
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing
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 profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish.
He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,
But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;
and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.
and not for the nation only, but that he should also gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
So from that day on they plotted to take his life.
From that day therefore they took counsel that they might kill him.
Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.

When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover.
But 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.
They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, “What do you think? Isn’t he coming to the festival at all?”
They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come to the feast?
But the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where Jesus was should report it so that they might arrest him.
