< 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, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village 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.
And it was that Mary who 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.
The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest 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.
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 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 therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.
7 Then after this He says to the disciples; Let us go into Judea again.
Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
8 Say to Him the disciples; Rabbi, just now were seeking You to stone the Jews, and again You are going there?
The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou 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 a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth 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 stumbleth, because the light is not 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 spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; 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.
The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.
13 Had spoken however Jesus of the death of him; they however thought that of the rest of sleep He speaks.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
14 Then therefore said to them Jesus plainly; Lazarus has died.
Then Jesus therefore said 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 ye 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.
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said 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.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb 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 had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, met with Him; Mary however in the house was sitting.
Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat 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.
Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst 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.
And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
23 Says to her Jesus; Will rise again the brother of you.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Says to him Martha; I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
Martha saith 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 believeth on me, though he die, 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 liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou 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 saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh 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 said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee.
29 She (then *no) when she heard ([she] rose up *N+kO) quickly and (was coming *N+kO) to Him.
And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went 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 village, but was still in the 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 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, supposing that she was going unto the tomb 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.
Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst 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 who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, 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 ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Wept Jesus.
Jesus wept.
36 Were saying therefore the Jews; Behold how He was loving him!
The Jews therefore said, 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?
But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?
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 cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against 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 saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath 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 saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest 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.
So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest 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 thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.
43 And these things having said in a voice loud He cried out; Lazarus, come forth.
And when he had thus 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.
He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith 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.
Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he 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 away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which 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!
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.
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 will come and take away both our place and our nation.
49 One however certain of them Caiaphas, high priest being on the year same, said to them; You yourselves not know no [thing],
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye 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 do ye take account that it is expedient for you 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,
Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the 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 the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.
53 From that [very] therefore day (they plotted *N+kO) that they may kill Him.
So from that day forth they took counsel that they might 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 departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the 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.
Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country 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?
They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? 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 the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.
