John 11
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair—whose brother Lazarus was sick.
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 The sisters, therefore, sent out unto him, saying—Lord, see! he whom thou tenderly lovest, is sick.
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 But Jesus hearing, said—This sickness, is not unto death, but for the glory of God, —that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, then, indeed, he abode in the place where he was, two days.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Then, after this, he saith unto the disciples—Let us be leading on into Judaea, again.
Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 The disciples say unto him—Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee—and, again, goest thou thither?
The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Jesus answered—Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth;
Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him.
But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11 These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them—Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him.
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
12 The disciples, therefore, said unto him—Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover.
The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 But Jesus had spoken concerning his death; whereas, they, supposed that, concerning the taking of rest in sleep, he had been speaking.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly, —Lazarus, died;
So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 and I rejoice, for your sake—that ye may believe, —that I was not there; but let us be going unto him.
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples—Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Jesus, therefore, coming, found that, four days already, had he been in the tomb.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.
Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus—Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22 And, now, I know, that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God, will give unto thee.
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Jesus saith unto her—Thy brother shall rise.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise, in the resurrection, in the last day.
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said unto her—I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age-abiding. Believest thou this? (aiōn g165)
Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 She saith unto him—Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God, —He who, into the world, should come.
She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28 And this saying, she went away, and called Mary her sister, secretly, saying—The teacher, is present, and calleth thee.
When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 And, she, when she heard, was roused up quickly, and was coming unto him.
When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Not yet, however, had Jesus come into the village, but was still in the place where, Martha, met him.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying unto him—Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself,
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 and said—Where have ye laid him? They say unto him—Lord! come and see.
and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.
Jesus wept.
36 The Jews, therefore, were saying—See! how tenderly he loved him!
The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 But, some from among them, said—Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died?
Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon.
Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus, saith, Take ye away the stone! Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto him—Lord! by this time, he stinketh, for it is, four days.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Jesus saith unto her—Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?
Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said—Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me:
So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake, —that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth.
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 And, these things, having said, with a loud voice, he cried out—Lazarus! Come forth!
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with bandages, and, his face, with a napkin, was bound about. Jesus saith unto them—Loose him, and let him go.
He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
45 Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him
Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 The High-priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high-council, and were saying—What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs?
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 If we let him alone thus, all, will believe on him, and the Romans will come, and take away, both our place and nation.
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High-priest, for that year, said unto them—Ye, know, nothing at all;
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 nor do ye take into account, that it is profitable for you that, one man, should die for the people, and not, the whole nation, perish.
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 This, however, from himself, he spake not, but, being, High-priest, for that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the nation;
Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put him to death.
So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Jesus, therefore, no longer openly, was walking among the Jews, but departed thence, into the country near the desert, unto a city called, Ephraim; and, there, abode, with his disciples.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly amongst the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up unto Jerusalem, out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves.
Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 They were therefore seeking Jesus, and were saying one to another, in the temple, standing—How seemeth it unto you? that he will in nowise come unto the feast?
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
57 Now the High-priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that, if anyone came to know where he was, he should inform [them], so that they might seize him.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
