2 Chronicles 10-12
Maori Bible
10 Na ka haere a Rehopoama ki Hekeme: kua tae mai hoki a Iharaira katoa ki Hekeme ki te whakakingi i a ia.
2 A, no te rongonga o Ieropoama tama a Nepata; i Ihipa hoki ia, i rere hoki ki reira i te aroaro o Kingi Horomona; na hoki mai ana a Ieropoama i Ihipa.
3 Na ka tono tangata ratou ki te tiki i a ia. A ka haere a Ieropoama ratou ko Iharaira katoa, ka korero ki a Rehopoama, ka mea,
4 He pakeke te ioka i meatia e tou papa ki a matou: na mau e whakamama ake te mahi pakeke a tou papa me tana ioka taimaha i meatia e ia ki a matou, a ka mahi matou ki a koe.
5 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kia toru ra, ka hoki mai ki ahau. Na haere ana te iwi.
6 Na ka runanga a Kingi Rehopoama ki nga kaumatua i tu i te aroaro o tona papa, o Horomona, i a ia i te ora, ka mea, Ki to koutou whakaaro me pehea te kupu e whakahokia e ahau ki tenei iwi?
7 Na ka korero ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te mea ka pai tau ki tenei iwi, a ka whakamanawareka koe i a ratou, a ka pai nga korero e korerotia e koe ki a ratou, na ko ratou hei pononga mau i nga ra katoa.
8 Otiia whakarerea ake e ia te whakaaro i whakatakotoria mana e nga kaumatua, a runanga ana ki nga taitama i kaumatua ngatahi nei me ia, i tu nei ki tona aroaro.
9 I mea ia ki a ratou, Ki to koutou whakaaro me pehea te kupu e whakahokia e tatou ki tenei hunga i korero mai nei ki ahau, i mea mai nei, Whakamamakia ake te ioka i meatia e tou papa ki a matou?
10 Na ka korero ki a ia nga taitama i kaumatua ngatahi nei me ia, ka mea, Kia penei tau ki atu ki tenei hunga i korero mai nei ki a koe, i mea mai nei, I whakataimahatia e tou papa to matou ioka, na kia mama tau ki a matou; kia penei tau ki atu ki a ratou, ko toku maihao iti, ka nui atu i te hope o toku papa.
11 Na, i whakawaha e toku papa he ioka taimaha ki a koutou, ka tapiritia e ahau tetahi atu mea ki to koutou ioka; he wepu ta toku papa i whiu ai i a koutou, otiia ka whiua koutou e ahau ki te kopiona.
12 Heoi kua tae a Ieropoama ratou ko te iwi katoa ki a Rehopoama i te toru o nga ra; ko ta te kingi hoki tena i korero ai, i a ia i mea ra, Hoki mai ki ahau i te toru o nga ra.
13 A pakeke tonu ta te kingi i whakahoki ai ki a ratou; whakarerea ake e Rehopoama te whakaaro o nga kaumatua,
14 Ka korero ki a ratou i runga i to nga taitama whakaaro, a ka mea, I whakataimahatia to koutou ioka e toku papa, heoi ka tapiritia atu ano e ahau: i whiua koutou e toku papa ki te wepu, ka whiua ia koutou e ahau ki te kopiona.
15 Heoi kihai i rongo te kingi ki ta te iwi; na te Atua hoki te take, kia mana ai tana kupu i korero ai a Ihowa, na te mangai o Ahia Hironi ki a Ieropoama tama a Nepata.
16 A, no te kitenga o Iharaira katoa kihai te kingi i rongo ki ta ratou, ka utua e te iwi te kingi; ka mea ratou, Ko te aha ianei to matou wahi i a Rawiri? kahore nei hoki o tatou wahi tupu i te tama a Hehe: ki o koutou teneti, e Iharaira! na kia w hai kanohi koe ki tou whare, e Rawiri! Heoi haere ana a Iharaira katoa ki tona teneti, ki tona teneti.
17 Ko nga tama ia a Iharaira e noho ana i nga pa o Hura, ko Rehopoama i kingi mo ratou.
18 Katahi ka tono a Kingi Rehopoama i te rangatira takoha, i a Harorama; a akina ana ia e nga tama a Iharaira ki te kohatu, a mate iho. Na hohoro tonu te eke o Kingi Rehopoama ki tona hariata, a rere ana ki Hiruharama.
19 Heoi whakakeke ana a Iharaira ki te whare o Rawiri, a taea noatia tenei ra.
11 Na, i te taenga o Rehopoama ki Hiruharama, ka huihuia e ia te whare o Hura raua ko Pineamine, kotahi rau e waru tekau mano; he hunga whiriwhiri, he hunga whawhai, hei whawhai ki a Iharaira, kia hoki ai te kingitanga ki a Rehopoama.
2 Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hemaia tangata a te Atua; i mea ia,
3 Korero ki a Rehopoama tama a Horomona, kingi o Hura, ki a Iharaira katoa hoki i a Hura, i a Pineamine, mea atu,
4 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kei haere koutou ki runga, kei whawhai ki o koutou tuakana. Hoki atu ki tona whare, ki tona whare; naku hoki tenei mea. Heoi rongo tonu ratou ki nga kupu a Ihowa, a hoki ana, kihai i haere ki te whawhai ki a Ieropoama.
5 Na ka noho a Rehopoama ki Hiruharama, a hanga ana e ia etahi pa tiaki ki Hura.
6 Nana i hanga a Peterehema, a Etema, a Tekoa,
7 A Peteturu, a Hoko, a Aturama,
8 A Kata, a Mareha, a Tiwhi,
9 A Aroaraima, a Rakihi, a Ateka,
10 A Toraha, a Atarono, a Heperona. I a Hura enei raua ko Pineamine, he pa taiepa.
11 I hanga ano e ia kia kaha etahi pa taiepa, whakawhiwhi rawa ki te rangatira mo roto, ki tona nui ano hoki o te kai, o te hinu, o te waina,
12 Ki te pukupuku, ki te tao ano hoki i roto i tenei pa, i tenei pa; no ka tino kaha rawa; i a ia hoki a Hura raua ko Pineamine.
13 Na, ko nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti puta noa i a Iharaira, haere ana ratou ki a ia i o ratou rohe katoa.
14 I whakarerea hoki e nga Riwaiti o ratou wahi i nga pa, me o ratou kainga ake, a haere ana ki Hura, ki Hiruharama: i peia hoki ratou e Ieropoama ratou ko ana tama, kei mahi tohunga ratou ki a Ihowa.
15 I whakaritea ano e ia etahi tohunga mana ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga koati toa, ki nga kuao kau i hanga e ia.
16 Na i muri i a ratou ko te hunga o nga iwi katoa o Iharaira i homai nei i o ratou ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, haere ana ratou ki Hiruharama ki te mea patunga tapu ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua.
17 Heoi na ratou i whakau te kingitanga o Hura, i whakakaha hoki a Rehopoama tama a Horomona, e toru tau: e toru hoki nga tau i haere ai ratou i te ara o Rawiri raua ko Horomona.
18 Na ka tangohia e Rehopoama hei wahine mana a Maharata tamahine a Terimoto tama a Rawiri, a raua ko Apihaira tamahine a Eriapa tama a Hehe;
19 Na, ko ana tama i whanau i tenei; ko Ieuhu, ko Hemaria, ko Tahama.
20 A i muri i tenei wahine ka tangohia e ia ko Maaka tamahine a Apoharama. Na, ko ana tama i whanau i tenei; ko Apia, ko Atai, ko Tita, ko Heromiti.
21 Na ko Maaka tamahine a Apoharama ta Rehopoama i matenui ai o ana wahine katoa, o ana wahine iti ano hoki: kotahi tekau ma waru nga wahine i tangohia e ia, e ono tekau nga wahine i tangohia e ia, e ono tekau nga wahine iti; a e rua tekau ma waru ana tama i whanau, e ono tekau nga tamahine.
22 Na ka meinga e Rehopoama ko Apia tama a Maaka hei upoko, hei rangatira, i roto i ona tuakana, teina; ko ia hoki tana i mea ai hei kingi.
23 Na ka mahi tupato ia, a whakamararatia atu ana e ia ana tama ki nga whenua katoa o Hura, o Pineamine, ki nga pa taiepa katoa: nui atu hoki te kai i hoatu e ia ki a ratou. He tokomaha hoki nga wahine i rapua e ia ma ratou.
12 Nawai a, no te unga o te kingitanga o Rehopoama, a ka whai kaha ia, whakarerea ake e ia te ture a Ihowa, e ratou ko Iharaira katoa.
2 Na i te rima o nga tau o Kingi Rehopoama ka haere mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, kua whakakeke nei hoki ratou ki a Ihowa,
3 Me nga hariata tekau ma rua rau, me nga hoia eke hoiho e ono tekau mano: kahore hoki he tauanga o te hunga i haere tahi mai i a ia i Ihipa; ko nga Rupimi, ko nga Hukiimi, ko nga Etiopiana.
4 Na kua riro i a ia nga pa taiepa o Hura, a ka tae ki Hiruharama.
5 Katahi a Hemaia poropiti ka haere mai ki a Rehopoama, ki nga rangatira o Hura i huihui nei ki Hiruharama i te wehi i a Hihaka, a ka mea ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kua whakarerea ahau e koutou, no reira kua waiho atu koutou e ahau ki te ringa o Hihaka.
6 Katahi ka whakaiti nga rangatira o Iharaira me te kingi i a ratou, ka mea, He tika a Ihowa.
7 A, no te kitenga o Ihowa kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou, ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Hemaia; i mea ia, Kua whakaiti ratou i a ratou; e kore ratou e huna e ahau; engari ka hoatu e ahau ki a ratou he oranga, he mea iti nei; e kore hoki toku riri e t ahoroa ki runga ki Hiruharama e te ringa o Hihaka.
8 Otiia ka meinga ratou hei pononga mana; kia mohio ai ratou ki taku mahi, ki te mahi ano a nga kingitanga o nga whenua.
9 Heoi haere ana mai a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa ki Hiruharama, tangohia ana e ia nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi: riro katoa ana i a ia: tangohia ana ano e ia nga pukupuku koura i hanga nei e Horomona.
10 Na ka hanga e Kingi Rehopoama etahi pukupuku parahi hei whakakapi mo era, a tukua ana e ia ki te ringa o te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, i tiaki nei i te tatau o te whare o te kingi.
11 Na i te wa i haere ai te kingi ki te whare o Ihowa, ka haere nga kaitiaki ki te tiki, a whakahokia ana e ratou ki te whare o nga kaitiaki.
12 Na i a ia ka whakaiti i a ia, ka tahuri atu te riri o Ihowa i a ia, kia kaua ia e whakangaromia rawatia e ia: he pai hoki nga mea i kitea ki a Hura.
13 Heoi kua u a Kingi Rehopoama ki Hiruharama hei kingi: e wha tekau ma tahi hoki nga tau o Rehopoama i a ia ka meinga hei kingi, a kotahi tekau ma whitu nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e Ihowa i roto i nga iwi katoa o I haraira hei waihotanga iho mo tona ingoa. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Naama, he Amoni.
14 He kino tana mahi; kihai hoki i whakatikaia e ia tona ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa.
15 Na, ko nga meatanga a Rehopoama, o mua, o muri, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Hemaia poropiti, ki ta Iro matakite ano, kei reira nei nga korero whakapapa? Na he whawhai ta Rehopoama raua ko Ieropoama ki a raua i nga ra katoa.
16 Na kua moe a Rehopoama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Apia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

2 Chronicles 10-12
New International Version
Israel Rebels Against Rehoboam(A)
10 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king. 2 When Jeroboam(B) son of Nebat heard this (he was in Egypt, where he had fled(C) from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt. 3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel(D) went to Rehoboam and said to him: 4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us,(E) but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people went away.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders(F) who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How would you advise me to answer these people?” he asked.
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them and give them a favorable answer,(G) they will always be your servants.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected(H) the advice the elders(I) gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 9 He asked them, “What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “The people have said to you, ‘Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter.’ Now tell them, ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. 11 My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
12 Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, “Come back to me in three days.” 13 The king answered them harshly. Rejecting the advice of the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from God,(J) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.(K)
16 When all Israel(L) saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share do we have in David,(M)
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!
Look after your own house, David!”
So all the Israelites went home. 17 But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.
18 King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram,[a](N) who was in charge of forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
11 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem,(O) he mustered Judah and Benjamin—a hundred and eighty thousand able young men—to go to war against Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam.
2 But this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah(P) the man of God: 3 “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, 4 ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your fellow Israelites.(Q) Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the words of the Lord and turned back from marching against Jeroboam.
Rehoboam Fortifies Judah
5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem and built up towns for defense in Judah: 6 Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa, 7 Beth Zur, Soko, Adullam, 8 Gath, Mareshah, Ziph, 9 Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah, 10 Zorah, Aijalon and Hebron. These were fortified cities(R) in Judah and Benjamin. 11 He strengthened their defenses and put commanders in them, with supplies of food, olive oil and wine. 12 He put shields and spears in all the cities, and made them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin were his.
13 The priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel sided with him. 14 The Levites(S) even abandoned their pasturelands and property(T) and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord 15 when he appointed(U) his own priests(V) for the high places and for the goat(W) and calf(X) idols he had made. 16 Those from every tribe of Israel(Y) who set their hearts on seeking the Lord, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 17 They strengthened(Z) the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon three years, following the ways of David and Solomon during this time.
Rehoboam’s Family
18 Rehoboam married Mahalath, who was the daughter of David’s son Jerimoth and of Abihail, the daughter of Jesse’s son Eliab. 19 She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham. 20 Then he married Maakah(AA) daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abijah,(AB) Attai, Ziza and Shelomith. 21 Rehoboam loved Maakah daughter of Absalom more than any of his other wives and concubines. In all, he had eighteen wives(AC) and sixty concubines, twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.
22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah(AD) son of Maakah as crown prince among his brothers, in order to make him king. 23 He acted wisely, dispersing some of his sons throughout the districts of Judah and Benjamin, and to all the fortified cities. He gave them abundant provisions(AE) and took many wives for them.
Shishak Attacks Jerusalem(AF)
12 After Rehoboam’s position as king was established(AG) and he had become strong,(AH) he and all Israel[b](AI) with him abandoned(AJ) the law of the Lord. 2 Because they had been unfaithful(AK) to the Lord, Shishak(AL) king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem in the fifth year of King Rehoboam. 3 With twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen and the innumerable troops of Libyans,(AM) Sukkites and Cushites[c](AN) that came with him from Egypt, 4 he captured the fortified cities(AO) of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.
5 Then the prophet Shemaiah(AP) came to Rehoboam and to the leaders of Judah who had assembled in Jerusalem for fear of Shishak, and he said to them, “This is what the Lord says, ‘You have abandoned me; therefore, I now abandon(AQ) you to Shishak.’”
6 The leaders of Israel and the king humbled(AR) themselves and said, “The Lord is just.”(AS)
7 When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: “Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance.(AT) My wrath(AU) will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak. 8 They will, however, become subject(AV) to him, so that they may learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of other lands.”
9 When Shishak king of Egypt attacked Jerusalem, he carried off the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields(AW) Solomon had made. 10 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and assigned these to the commanders of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace. 11 Whenever the king went to the Lord’s temple, the guards went with him, bearing the shields, and afterward they returned them to the guardroom.
12 Because Rehoboam humbled(AX) himself, the Lord’s anger turned from him, and he was not totally destroyed. Indeed, there was some good(AY) in Judah.
13 King Rehoboam established(AZ) himself firmly in Jerusalem and continued as king. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name.(BA) His mother’s name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite. 14 He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the Lord.
15 As for the events of Rehoboam’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah(BB) the prophet and of Iddo the seer that deal with genealogies? There was continual warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam. 16 Rehoboam(BC) rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Abijah(BD) his son succeeded him as king.

30 Na kahore a Ihu i tomo noa ki te kainga; heoi kei taua wahi ano ia i tutaki ai a Mata ki a ia.
31 I te kitenga o nga Hurai e noho ana ki a ia i roto i te whare, e whakamarie ana i a ia, ka hohoro a Meri te whakatika, te puta ki waho, ka aru ratou i a ia, ka mea, E haere ana ia ki te urupa, ki reira tangi ai.
32 A, no ka tae a Meri ki te wahi kei reira nei a Ihu, ka kite i a ia, ka takoto ki ona waewae, ka mea ki a ia, E te Ariki, me i konei koe, kihai i mate toku tungane.
33 A, no ka kite a Ihu i a ia e tangi ana, i nga Hurai hoki i haere tahi me ia e tangi ana, ka ngunguru ia, ara tona wairua, ka koingo.
34 Ka mea, I whakatakotoria ia e koutou ki hea? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te Ariki, haere mai kia kite.
35 Tangi ana a Ihu.
36 Na ka mea nga Hurai, Nana, tona aroha ki a ia!
37 Na ka mea etahi o ratou, Kahore ranei i taea e tenei tangata, nana nei i whakatitiro nga kanohi o te matapo, te mea i tenei tangata hoki kia kaua e mate?
38 Na ka ngunguru ano a Ihu i roto i a ia, ka haere ki te urupa. He ana ia, kua oti te pa ki te kohatu.
39 Ka mea a Ihu, Tangohia atu e koutou te kohatu. Ka mea ki a ia a Mata tuahine o te tupapaku, E te Ariki, kua piro noa ake ia: ko tona po wha hoki tenei.
40 Ano ra ko Ihu ki a ia, Kihai koia ahau i mea ki a koe, Ki te whakapono koe, e kite koe i te kororia o te Atua?
41 Na ka tangohia e ratou te kohatu i te wahi i takoto ai te tupapaku. Na ka ara ake nga kanohi o Ihu, ka mea ia, E Pa, ko taku whakawhetai tenei ki a koe, mou i whakarongo ki ahau.
42 I mahara ano ahau e rongo tonu ana koe ki ahau: heoi he whakaaro ki te hunga e tu mai nei i korero ai ahau, kia whakapono ai ratou, nau ahau i tono mai.
43 A, no ka penei tana ki, he nui tona reo ki te karanga, E Raharuhi, puta mai.
44 Na ko te putanga mai o te tupapaku, he mea here nga ringa me nga waewae ki nga takai: he mea takai tona mata ki te tauera. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Wetekia, tukua kia haere.
45 Na he tokomaha nga Hurai i haere nei ki a Meri, a, i to ratou kitenga i nga mea i mea ai a Ihu, ka whakapono ki a ia.
46 Ko etahi o ratou i haere ki nga Parihi, i korero ki a ratou i nga mea i mahia e Ihu.
47 Na ka whakaminea he runanga e nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi, ka mea, Kei te aha tatou nei? he maha hoki nga merekara e meatia nei e tenei tangata.
48 Ki te penei ta tatou tuku i a ia, ka whakapono katoa ki a ia: a ka haere mai nga Roma, ka tango i to tatou kainga, i to tatou iwi.
49 Na ko tetahi o ratou ko Kaiapa, ko te tohunga nui o taua tau, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore koutou e matau ki tetahi mea.
50 Te whakaaro, he pai mo tatou ki te mate te tangata kotahi mo te iwi, a kahore e ngaro te iwi katoa.
51 Na ehara tenei korero i te mea nana ake: engari ko te tohunga nui ia mo tera tau, heoi ka poropiti kia mate a Ihu mo taua iwi.
52 Haunga ano taua iwi anake, engari kia whakaminea kia kotahi nga tamariki a te Atua kua marara noa atu.
53 No taua ra ake ano ka runanga ratou kia whakamatea ia.
54 Koia i mutu ai te haere matanui o Ihu i roto i nga Hurai. Heoi haere atu ana ia i reira ki te wahi e tata ana ki te koraha, ki tetahi pa, ko Eparaima te ingoa, a noho ana i reira ratou ko ana akonga.
55 Na kua tata te kapenga a nga Hurai: he tokomaha hoki i haere atu i taua whenua i mua o te kapenga ki Hiruharama ki te pure i a ratou.
56 Na ka rapu ratou i a Ihu, ka korerorero ki a ratou ano, i a ratou e tu ana i te temepara, E pehea ana o koutou whakaaro? e kore ranei ia e haere mai ki te hakari?
57 Na kua takoto te tikanga a nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi, ki te matau tetahi tangata ki te wahi e noho ai ia, me whakaatu, kia hopukia ai ia e ratou.

John 11:30-57
New International Version
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.(A) 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her,(B) noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”(C)
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved(D) in spirit and troubled.(E) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35 Jesus wept.(F)
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”(G)
37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man(H) have kept this man from dying?”(I)
Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved,(J) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.(K) 39 “Take away the stone,” he said.
“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”(L)
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,(M) you will see the glory of God?”(N)
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up(O) and said, “Father,(P) I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,(Q) that they may believe that you sent me.”(R)
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”(S) 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,(T) and a cloth around his face.(U)
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary,(V) and had seen what Jesus did,(W) believed in him.(X) 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees(Y) called a meeting(Z) of the Sanhedrin.(AA)
“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.(AB) 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”
49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas,(AC) who was high priest that year,(AD) spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”(AE)
51 He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, 52 and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.(AF) 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.(AG)
54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea.(AH) Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,(AI) many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing(AJ) before the Passover. 56 They kept looking for Jesus,(AK) and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, “What do you think? Isn’t he coming to the festival at all?” 57 But the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where Jesus was should report it so that they might arrest him.
