< 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 man named Lazarus was ill. He was from Bethany, 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.
- it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
3 Sent therefore the sisters to Him saying; Lord, behold [he] whom You love was being sick.
So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."
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 it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through 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.
However, when he heard that he was ill,
7 Then after this He says to the disciples; Let us go into Judea again.
he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."
8 Say to Him the disciples; Rabbi, just now were seeking You to stone the Jews, and again You are going there?
"Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there 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 replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds 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 during the night he does stumble, 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.
This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."
12 Said therefore the disciples (to Him; *N+KO) Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.
"Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.
13 Had spoken however Jesus of the death of him; they however thought that of the rest of sleep He speaks.
Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.
14 Then therefore said to them Jesus plainly; Lazarus has died.
So then he told them plainly.
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.
"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, 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.
Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, that we may die with him."
17 Having come therefore Jesus found him four already days having been in the tomb.
so when Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.
18 Was now Bethany near Jerusalem about away stadia fifteen.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away;
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)
so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, met with Him; Mary however in the house was sitting.
So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting 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. "Master, had you 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 you ask of God, God will give you."
23 Says to her Jesus; Will rise again the brother of you.
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Says to him Martha; I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
Martha answered, "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,
"I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall 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 every one who is living and believes in 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.
"Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are 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.
With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."
29 She (then *no) when she heard ([she] rose up *N+kO) quickly and (was coming *N+kO) to Him.
So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him.
30 Not yet now had come Jesus into the village, but was (still *no) in the place where met with Him Martha.
Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still at 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 who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was 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.
When Mary came to the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you 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 sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.
34 And He said; Where have you laid him? They say to Him; Lord, do come and do see.
"Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.
35 Wept Jesus.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Were saying therefore the Jews; Behold how He was loving him!
"See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,
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?
"Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also from dying?"
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 shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying 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.
"Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."
40 Says to her Jesus; Surely I said to you that if you shall believe you will see the glory of God?
Jesus answered 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 rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.
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.
"Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order 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.
When he had said this he cried with a great 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.
Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie 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 of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what 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 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!
So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
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.
"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."
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 their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,
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.
"You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be destroyed."
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 he did not say this of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in behalf of 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 in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.
53 From that [very] therefore day (they plotted *N+kO) that they may kill Him.
So from that day they plotted to kill him.
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 no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,
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 there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.
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?
So they kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not come to the feast at all?"
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 Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
