John 11
1 Now there was a certain sick man, Lazarus of Bethania, from the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
2 And Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was sick.
(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore, his sisters sent to him, saying: “Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.”
His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 Then, upon hearing this, Jesus said to them: “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6 Even so, after he heard that he was sick, he then still remained in the same place for two days.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
7 Then, after these things, he said to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
8 The disciples said to him: “Rabbi, the Jews are even now seeking to stone you. And would you go there again?”
The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus responded: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:
10 But if he walks in the nighttime, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
11 He said these things, and after this, he said to them: “Lazarus our friend is sleeping. But I am going, so that I may awaken him from sleep.”
These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 And so his disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he shall be healthy.”
His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 But Jesus had spoken about his death. Yet they thought that he spoke about the repose of sleep.
But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14 Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died.
Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sake that 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, that you may believe: but let us go to him.
16 And then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go, too, so that we may die with him.”
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 And so Jesus went. And he found that he had already been in the tomb for four days.
Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
18 (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia. )
(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother.
And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home.
Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21 And then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, 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.
22 But even now, I know that whatever you will request from God, God will give to you.”
But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”
Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he shall rise again, at the resurrection on the last day.”
Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.
Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26 And everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die for eternity. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him: “Certainly, Lord. I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, who has come into this world.”
She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
28 And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary quietly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and he is calling you.”
And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 When she heard this, she rose up quickly and went to him.
She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.
30 For Jesus had not yet arrived in the town. But he was still at that place where Martha had met him.
For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.
31 Therefore, the Jews who were with her in the house and who were consoling her, when they had seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there.”
The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.
32 Therefore, when Mary had arrived to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and she said to him. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 And then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had arrived with her weeping, he groaned in spirit and became troubled.
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,
34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
35 And Jesus wept.
And Jesus wept.
36 Therefore, the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!”
The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.
37 But some of them said, “Would not he who opened the eyes of one born blind have been able to cause this man not to die?”
But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?
38 Therefore, Jesus, again groaning from within himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone had been placed over it.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who had died, said to him, “Lord, by now it will smell, for this is the fourth day.”
Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?”
Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
41 Therefore, they took away the stone. Then, lifting up his eyes, Jesus said: “Father, I give thanks to you because you have heard me.
They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.
42 And I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the people who are standing nearby, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”
And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 When he had said these things, he cried in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”
When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
44 And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound with a separate cloth. Jesus said to them, “Release him and let him go.”
And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.
45 Therefore, many of the Jews, who had come to Mary and Martha, and who had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
46 But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47 And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: “What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.
The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?
48 If we leave him alone, in this way all will believe in him. And then the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.”
If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.
49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, since he was the high priest that year, said to them: “You do not understand anything.
But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
50 Nor do you realize that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the entire nation should not perish.”
Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 Yet he did not say this from himself, but since he was the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation.
And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.
52 And not only for the nation, but in order to gather together as one the children of God who have been dispersed.
And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.
53 Therefore, from that day, they planned to put him to death.
From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.
54 And so, Jesus no longer walked in public with the Jews. But he went into a region near the desert, to a city which is called Ephraim. And he lodged there with his disciples.
Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his disciples.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near. And many from the countryside ascended to Jerusalem before the Passover, so that they might sanctify themselves.
And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to purify themselves.
56 Therefore, they were seeking Jesus. And they conferred with one another, while standing in the temple: “What do you think? Will he come to the feast day?”
They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day?
57 And the high priests and Pharisees had given an order, so that if anyone would know where he may be, he should reveal it, so that they might apprehend him.
And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
