John 11:41-57
New American Standard Bible 1995
41 So they removed the (A)stone. Then Jesus (B)raised His eyes, and said, “(C)Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 I knew that You always hear Me; but (D)because of the [a]people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that (E)You sent Me.” 43 When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” 44 The man who had died came forth, (F)bound hand and foot with wrappings, and (G)his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus *said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
45 (H)Therefore many of the Jews (I)who came to Mary, and (J)saw what He had done, believed in Him. 46 But some of them went to the (K)Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Conspiracy to Kill Jesus
47 Therefore (L)the chief priests and the Pharisees (M)convened a (N)council, and were saying, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many [b](O)signs. 48 If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our (P)place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, (Q)Caiaphas, (R)who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 nor do you take into account that (S)it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.” 51 Now he did not say this [c]on his own initiative, but (T)being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also (U)gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they (V)planned together to kill Him.
54 Therefore Jesus (W)no longer continued to walk publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness, into a city called (X)Ephraim; and there He stayed with the disciples.
55 Now (Y)the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover (Z)to purify themselves. 56 So they (AA)were seeking for Jesus, and were 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 Now (AB)the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he was to report it, so that they might seize Him.
