< John 11 >

1 Was now a certain [man] ailing, Lazarus of Bethany of the village of Mary and Martha the sister of her;
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Was now Mary the [one] having anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and having wiped the feet of Him with the hair of her, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Sent therefore the sisters to Him saying; Lord, behold [he] whom You love was being sick.
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
4 Having heard then Jesus said; This sickness not is unto death but for the glory of God that may be glorified the Son of God 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.
5 was loving now Jesus Martha and the sister of her and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When therefore He heard that he is sick, then indeed He remained in which He was [the] place two days.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after this He says to the disciples; Let us go into Judea again.
Then after that says he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 Say to Him the disciples; Rabbi, just now were seeking You to stone the Jews, and again You are going there?
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go you thither again?
9 Answered Jesus; Surely twelve hours are there in the day? If anyone shall walk in the day, not he stumbles, because the light of the world this he sees.
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
10 if however anyone shall walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light not is in him.
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
11 These things He said and after this He says to them; Lazarus the friend of us has fallen asleep; but I go that I may awaken him.
These things said he: and after that he says unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Said therefore the disciples (to Him; *N+KO) Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Had spoken however Jesus of the death of him; they however thought that of the rest of sleep He speaks.
Nevertheless Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then therefore said to them Jesus plainly; Lazarus has died.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I rejoice for sake of you, in order that you may believe, that not I was there; But let us go to him.
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent all of you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Said therefore Thomas who is being named Didymus to the fellow disciples; Let us go also us that we may die with Him.
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Having come therefore Jesus found him four already days having been in the tomb.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Was now Bethany near Jerusalem about away stadia fifteen.
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 (and *k) Many (now *no) of the Jews had come unto (concerning *k) Martha and Mary that they may console them concerning the brother (of them. *k)
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, met with Him; Mary however in the house was sitting.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Said then Martha to Jesus; Lord, if You had been here, not then would (be dead *N+kO) the brother of mine.
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
22 Nevertheless even now I know that as much as maybe You may ask God will give You God.
But I know, that even now, whatsoever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
23 Says to her Jesus; Will rise again the brother of you.
Jesus says unto her, Your brother shall rise again.
24 Says to him Martha; I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
Martha says unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Said to her Jesus; I myself am the resurrection and the life; the [one] believing in Me myself even if even if he shall die he will live,
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 and everyone who is living and believing in Me myself certainly not he shall die to the age. Believe you this? (aiōn g165)
And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this? (aiōn g165)
27 She says to Him; Yes Lord; I myself have believed that You yourself are the Christ the Son of God the [One] into the world coming.
She says unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And (these things *N+kO) having said she went away and she called Mary the sister of her secretly having said; The Teacher is come and He calls you.
And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master has come, and calls for you.
29 She (then *no) when she heard ([she] rose up *N+kO) quickly and (was coming *N+kO) to Him.
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Not yet now had come Jesus into the village, but was (still *no) in the place where met with Him Martha.
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 The then Jews who are being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen Mary that soon she rose up and went out, followed after her, (having supposed *N+KO) that she is going to the tomb that she may weep 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 goes unto the grave to weep there.
32 Therefore Mary when she came to where was Jesus, having seen Him she fell of Him (at *N+kO) the feet saying to Him; Lord, if You had been here, not then would my have died brother.
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus therefore when He saw her weeping and the having come with her Jews weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled Himself
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, (pneuma) and was troubled.
34 And He said; Where have you laid him? They say to Him; Lord, do come and do see.
And said, Where have all of you laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Wept Jesus.
Jesus wept.
36 Were saying therefore the Jews; Behold how He was loving him!
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37 Some however of them said; Surely was able this [man] who having opened the eyes of the blind to have caused that also this one not may have died?
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?
38 Jesus therefore again being deeply moved in Himself He comes to the tomb; It was now a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Says Jesus; do take away the stone. Says to Him the sister of the [one] (having deceased *N+kO) Martha; Lord, already he stinks; four days for it is.
Jesus said, Take all of you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, says unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.
40 Says to her Jesus; Surely I said to you that if you shall believe you will see the glory of God?
Jesus says unto her, Said I not unto you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
41 They took away therefore the stone (where was who having died laid. *K) Now Jesus lifted [His] eyes upwards 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 you that you have heard me.
42 I myself and knew that always Me You hear; but on account of the crowd which already standing around I said [it], that they may believe that You yourself Me sent.
And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
43 And these things having said in a voice loud He cried out; Lazarus, come forth.
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 (and *k) Came forth the [one] having died bound the feet and the hands with linen strips, and the face of him in a headcloth had bound about. Says to them Jesus: do unbind him and do allow him to go.
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus says unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many therefore of the Jews having come to Mary and having seen (what things *NK+o) He did (Jesus *k) believed in Him.
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
46 some however of them went to the Pharisees and told to them what did Jesus.
But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Gathered therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees a council and they were saying; What are we to do? For this man many does signs!
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
48 If we shall let him alone Him like this, all will believe in Him, and will come the Romans and will take away of us both the place and the 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.
49 One however certain of them Caiaphas, high priest being on the year same, said to them; You yourselves not know no [thing],
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, All of you know nothing at all,
50 nor (consider you *N+kO) that it is profitable (for you *N+KO) that one man may die for the people, and not all the nation may perish.
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 This now from himself not he said, but high priest being on the year that he prophesied that was about Jesus to die for the nation,
And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 and not for the nation only but that also the children of God those scattered He may gather 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.
53 From that [very] therefore day (they plotted *N+kO) that they may kill Him.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together in order to put him to death.
54 Therefore Jesus no longer no longer publicly was walking among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness to Ephraim being named a city, And there And there (He stayed *N+kO) with the disciples (of him. *k)
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.
55 Was now near the Passover of the Jews, and went up many to Jerusalem out of the region before the Passover so that they may purify themselves.
And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 They were seeking therefore Jesus and were saying among one another in the temple already standing; What does it seem to you, that certainly not He may come to the feast?
Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think all of you, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Had given now (also *k) the chief priests and the Pharisees (commands *N+KO) that if anyone shall know where He is he shall show [it], so that they may seize Him.
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
