John 11
King James Version
11 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

Jesus uppväcker Lasarus
11 (A) En man som hette Lasarus var sjuk. Han var från Betania[a], den by där Maria och hennes syster Marta bodde. 2 (B) Det var Maria som smorde Herren med väldoftande olja och torkade hans fötter med sitt hår, och nu var hennes bror Lasarus sjuk. 3 Systrarna skickade då bud till Jesus och lät säga: "Herre, den du har kär ligger sjuk." 4 (C) När Jesus hörde det, sade han: "Den sjukdomen slutar inte med döden. Den är till Guds ära, för att Guds Son ska bli förhärligad genom den." 5 Jesus älskade Marta och hennes syster och Lasarus.
6 När Jesus nu hörde att Lasarus var sjuk, stannade han ändå två dagar där han var. 7 Därefter sade han till sina lärjungar: "Låt oss gå tillbaka till Judeen." 8 (D) Lärjungarna sade till honom: "Rabbi, nyss försökte judarna stena dig, och nu går du dit igen!" 9 (E) Jesus svarade: "Har inte dagen tolv timmar? Den som vandrar om dagen snavar inte, för han ser denna världens ljus. 10 Men den som vandrar om natten, han snavar eftersom ljuset inte finns i honom."
11 (F) Efter att han sagt detta tillade han: "Vår vän Lasarus sover. Men jag går för att väcka honom." 12 Då sade lärjungarna till honom: "Herre, sover han så blir han frisk." 13 Jesus hade talat om hans död, men de trodde att han talade om vanlig sömn. 14 Då sade Jesus helt öppet till dem: "Lasarus är död. 15 Och för er skull, för att ni ska tro, är jag glad att jag inte var där. Men låt oss nu gå till honom." 16 (G) Tomas, som kallades Tvillingen[b], sade då till de andra lärjungarna: "Låt oss gå, vi också, och dö tillsammans med honom."
17 När Jesus kom fram, fann han att Lasarus redan hade legat fyra dagar i graven. 18 Betania låg nära Jerusalem, ungefär tre kilometer[c] därifrån. 19 Många judar hade kommit ut till Marta och Maria för att trösta dem i sorgen över deras bror. 20 När Marta fick höra att Jesus hade kommit, gick hon ut och mötte honom. Men Maria stannade kvar hemma.
21 Marta sade till Jesus: "Herre, om du hade varit här skulle min bror inte ha dött. 22 Men också nu vet jag att Gud kommer att ge dig vad du än ber honom om." 23 Jesus sade: "Din bror ska uppstå." 24 (H) Marta svarade: "Jag vet att han ska uppstå, vid uppståndelsen på den yttersta dagen." 25 Jesus sade: "Jag är uppståndelsen och livet. Den som tror på mig ska leva om han än dör, 26 (I) och den som lever och tror på mig ska aldrig någonsin dö. Tror du detta?" 27 (J) Hon svarade: "Ja, Herre. Jag tror att du är Messias, Guds Son, han som skulle komma till världen."
28 När hon hade sagt detta, gick hon och kallade på sin syster Maria och viskade: "Mästaren är här och kallar på dig." 29 Så snart hon hörde det, reste hon sig och gick ut till honom. 30 Jesus hade inte gått in i byn än, utan var kvar på platsen där Marta hade mött honom. 31 Judarna som var hemma hos Maria och tröstade henne såg att hon reste sig hastigt och gick ut. Då följde de efter henne i tron att hon skulle gå till graven för att gråta där.
32 När Maria kom till platsen där Jesus var och fick se honom, föll hon ner vid hans fötter och sade till honom: "Herre, om du hade varit här skulle min bror inte ha dött." 33 När Jesus såg hur hon grät och hur judarna som följt med henne grät, blev han djupt rörd och skakad i sin ande 34 och frågade: "Var har ni lagt honom?" De svarade: "Herre, kom och se." 35 (K) Jesus grät. 36 Då sade judarna: "Se hur han älskade honom!" 37 (L) Men några av dem sade: "Kunde inte han som öppnade ögonen på den blinde ha gjort så att Lasarus inte dog?"
38 Jesus blev åter djupt rörd i sitt inre och gick fram till graven. Det var en klippgrav med en sten för öppningen. 39 Jesus sade: "Ta bort stenen!" Den dödes syster Marta sade till honom: "Herre, han luktar redan. Det är fjärde dagen." 40 Jesus sade till henne: "Har jag inte sagt dig att om du tror ska du få se Guds härlighet?" 41 Då tog de bort stenen, och Jesus lyfte blicken mot himlen och sade: "Far, jag prisar dig för att du hör mig. 42 Jag vet att du alltid hör mig, men jag säger det för folket som står här, för att de ska tro att du har sänt mig." 43 (M) När han hade sagt detta, ropade han med hög röst: "Lasarus, kom ut!" 44 Då kom den döde ut, med fötter och händer inlindade i bindlar och med ansiktet täckt av en duk. Jesus sade till dem: "Gör honom fri och låt honom gå."
45 (N) Många judar som hade kommit till Maria och sett vad Jesus gjorde kom till tro på honom. 46 Men några av dem gick till fariseerna och berättade för dem vad Jesus hade gjort.
47 Översteprästerna och fariseerna kallade då samman Stora rådet och sade: "Vad gör vi? Den här mannen gör många tecken. 48 Låter vi honom hålla på så här kommer alla att tro på honom, och sedan kommer romarna och tar ifrån oss både templet och folket." 49 En av dem, Kaifas som var överstepräst det året, sade till dem: "Ni förstår ingenting. 50 (O) Inser ni inte att det är bättre för er att en man dör för folket än att hela folket går under?"
51 Detta sade han inte av sig själv, utan som överstepräst det året profeterade han att Jesus skulle dö för folket, 52 (P) och inte bara för folket utan också för att samla och förena Guds skingrade barn. 53 (Q) Från den dagen bestämde de sig för att döda honom. 54 Jesus rörde sig därför inte längre öppet bland judarna utan drog sig undan därifrån till landsbygden nära öknen, till en stad som heter Efraim[d]. Där stannade han tillsammans med sina lärjungar.
55 (R) Judarnas påsk närmade sig, och många gick från landsbygden upp till Jerusalem före påsken för att rena sig[e]. 56 De sökte efter Jesus och sade till varandra där de stod på tempelplatsen: "Vad tror ni? Kommer han inte alls till högtiden?" 57 Men översteprästerna och fariseerna hade gett order om att den som visste var han fanns skulle tala om det så att de kunde gripa honom.

The Death of Lazarus
11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany,(A) the village of Mary and her sister Martha.(B) 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)(C) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love(D) is sick.”
4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory(E) so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”(F)
8 “But Rabbi,”(G) they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you,(H) and yet you are going back?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.(I) 10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend(J) Lazarus has fallen asleep;(K) but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.(L)
14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 Then Thomas(M) (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
Jesus Comforts the Sisters of Lazarus
17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.(N) 18 Now Bethany(O) was less than two miles[b] from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.(P) 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.(Q)
21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.(R) 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”(S)
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection(T) at the last day.”(U)
25 Jesus said to her, “I am(V) the resurrection and the life.(W) The one who believes(X) in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing(Y) in me will never die.(Z) Do you believe this?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah,(AA) the Son of God,(AB) who is to come into the world.”(AC)
28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher(AD) is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.(AE) 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her,(AF) 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.”(AG)
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved(AH) in spirit and troubled.(AI) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35 Jesus wept.(AJ)
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”(AK)
37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man(AL) have kept this man from dying?”(AM)
Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved,(AN) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.(AO) 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.”(AP)
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,(AQ) you will see the glory of God?”(AR)
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up(AS) and said, “Father,(AT) 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,(AU) that they may believe that you sent me.”(AV)
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”(AW) 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,(AX) and a cloth around his face.(AY)
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,(AZ) and had seen what Jesus did,(BA) believed in him.(BB) 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees(BC) called a meeting(BD) of the Sanhedrin.(BE)
“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.(BF) 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,(BG) who was high priest that year,(BH) 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.”(BI)
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.(BJ) 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.(BK)
54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea.(BL) 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,(BM) many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing(BN) before the Passover. 56 They kept looking for Jesus,(BO) 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.
