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, of Bethany, was lying ill; he belonged to the same village as 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.
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who anointed the Master with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Sent therefore the sisters to Him saying; Lord, behold [he] whom You love was being sick.
The sisters, therefore, sent this message to Jesus – ‘Master, your friend 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.
and, when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is to redound to the honor of God, in order that the Son of God may be honored through it.”
5 was loving now Jesus Martha and the sister of her and Lazarus.
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.
Yet, when he heard of the illness of Lazarus, he still stayed 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 that, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Say to Him the disciples; Rabbi, just now were seeking You to stone the Jews, and again You are going there?
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the authorities there were but just now seeking 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.
“Are not there twelve hours in the day?” answered Jesus. “If someone walks about in the daytime, they don’t stumble, because they can see the light of the sun;
10 if however anyone shall walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light not is in him.
but, if they walk about at night, they stumble, because they have not the light.”
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.
And, when he had said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going so that I may wake him.”
12 Said therefore the disciples (to Him; *N+KO) Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.
“If he has fallen asleep, Master, he will get well,” said the disciples.
13 Had spoken however Jesus of the death of him; they however thought that of the rest of sleep He speaks.
But Jesus meant that he was dead; they, however, supposed that he was speaking of natural sleep.
14 Then therefore said to them Jesus plainly; Lazarus has died.
Then he 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 am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. 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.
At this, Thomas, who was called ‘The Twin,’ said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
17 Having come therefore Jesus found him four already days having been in the tomb.
When Jesus reached the place, he found that Lazarus had been four days in the tomb already.
18 Was now Bethany near Jerusalem about away stadia fifteen.
Bethany being only about two miles from Jerusalem,
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)
a number of the people had come there to comfort Martha and Mary because of their brother’s death.
20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, met with Him; Mary however in the house was sitting.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat quietly at home.
21 Said then Martha to Jesus; Lord, if You had been here, not then would (be dead *N+kO) the brother of mine.
“Master,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had 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.
Even now, I know that God will grant you whatever you ask him.”
23 Says to her Jesus; Will rise again the brother of you.
“Your brother will rise to life,” said Jesus.
24 Says to him Martha; I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.
“I know that he will,” replied Martha, “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 will live, though he die;
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 who lives and believes in me will 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 learned 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.
After saying this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, and whispered, “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.
As soon as Mary heard that, she got up 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 then come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had 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.
So the people, who were in the house with Mary, comforting her, when they saw her get up quickly and go out, followed her, thinking that 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 where Jesus was and saw him, she threw herself at his feet. “Master,” she exclaimed, “if you had 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
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping also, he groaned deeply, and was greatly distressed.
34 And He said; Where have you laid him? They say to Him; Lord, do come and do see.
“Where have you buried him?” he asked. “Come and see, Master,” they answered.
35 Wept Jesus.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Were saying therefore the Jews; Behold how He was loving him!
“How he must have loved him!” the people exclaimed;
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 gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus 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.
Again groaning inwardly, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against the mouth of 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.
“Move the stone away,” said Jesus. “Master,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time the smell must be offensive, for this is the fourth day since his death.”
40 Says to her Jesus; Surely I said to you that if you shall believe you will see the glory of God?
“Didn’t I tell you,” replied Jesus, “that, if you would believe in me, 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.
So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;
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 that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you has sent me as your messenger.”
43 And these things having said in a voice loud He cried out; Lazarus, come forth.
Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”
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.
The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “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.
In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.
46 some however of them went to the Pharisees and told to them what did Jesus.
Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he 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 and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so 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 allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our Temple 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],
One of them, however, Caiaphas, 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 are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should 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 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 also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.
53 From that [very] therefore day (they plotted *N+kO) that they may kill Him.
So from that day they plotted to put Jesus 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)
In consequence of this, Jesus did not go about publicly among the people any more, but left and went into the country bordering on the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he stayed 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.
But the Jewish Festival of the Passover was near; and many people had gone up from the country to Jerusalem, for their purification, before the Festival began.
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 looked for Jesus there, and said to one another, as they stood in the Temple Courts, “What do you think? Do you think he will come to the Festival?”
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.
The chief priests and the Pharisees had already issued orders that, if anyone learned where Jesus was, he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
