< 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, the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
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 the Mary that 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 to 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 to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God may be glorified.
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 still remained 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 said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea 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 said to him: Rabbi, the Jews just now sought to stone thee, and art thou going 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 one walks during the day, he does not stumble, for 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 any one walks 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.
Thus spoke he; and after this he said to 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 his disciples said: Lord, if he sleeps, he will be saved.
13 Had spoken however Jesus of the death of him; they however thought that of the rest of sleep He speaks.
Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Then therefore said to them Jesus plainly; Lazarus has died.
Therefore, Jesus then said to 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 rejoice, on your account, that I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to 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 Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to 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 already been four days in the tomb.
18 Was now Bethany near Jerusalem about away stadia fifteen.
Now Bethany was near 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 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, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet 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 Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother would not have died.
22 Nevertheless even now I know that as much as maybe You may ask God will give You God.
But even now, I know that whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give thee.
23 Says to her Jesus; Will rise again the brother of you.
Jesus said to 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 said to him: I know that he will rise, 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 to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on 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 he that lives and believes on me, shall never die. Do you believe 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 said to him: Yes, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to 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 said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying: The Teacher 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.
When she heard it, she rose quickly and came to 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 had not yet come into the village, but was 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.
Then the Jews that were with her in the house, and were comforting her, seeing Mary rise and go out quickly, followed her, saying: She is going to 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.
Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have 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
Then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews that came with her weeping also, he was greatly moved in spirit, and troubled;
34 And He said; Where have you laid him? They say to Him; Lord, do come and do see.
and he said: Where have you laid him? They said to 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: See 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 he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, 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.
Then Jesus, again greatly moved within himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was laid 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 said: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him: Lord, the body is offensive; 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 said to her: Did I not tell 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. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: Father, I thank thee, that thou hast 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.
I know, in deed, that thou dost always hear me. But for the sake of the multitude who stand around me, I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And these things having said in a voice loud He cried out; Lazarus, come forth.
And when he had said these things, 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 had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound around with a handkerchief. Jesus said to 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 that had come to Mary, and who saw what he had done, 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 what 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 the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does 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 thus let him alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away 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 one of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, said to them: You know nothing,
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 you consider that it is profitable for us, that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.
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,
But this he did not speak of himself; but being chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to 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 should gather into one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 From that [very] therefore day (they plotted *N+kO) that they may kill Him.
From that day, therefore, they consulted together 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)
Therefore, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but withdrew thence to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he remained 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 passover of the Jews was near; and many went up from the country 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 they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple: What think 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 the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should inform them, that they might take him.
