約翰福音 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
拉撒路病死
11 伯大尼村有個名叫拉撒路的人病倒了。伯大尼是瑪麗亞和她姐姐瑪大居住的村莊。 2 就是這個瑪麗亞後來用香膏抹主，又用自己的頭髮擦乾祂的腳，患病的拉撒路是她的弟弟。 3 她們姊妹兩個託人去告訴耶穌，說：「主啊，你所愛的人病了！」
4 耶穌聽見後，說：「這病不會致命，而是為了上帝的榮耀，使祂的兒子藉此得到榮耀。」 5 耶穌一向愛瑪大、瑪麗亞和拉撒路， 6 可是祂聽到拉撒路有病的消息後，仍逗留了兩天， 7 然後才對門徒說：「我們去猶太吧！」
8 門徒說：「老師，猶太人近來想拿石頭打你，你還要去那裡嗎？」
9 耶穌說：「白天不是有十二個小時嗎？人在白天走路，不會跌倒，因為他看得見這世上的光。 10 人在夜間走路，才會跌倒，因為沒有光。」 11 接著耶穌又說：「我們的朋友拉撒路已經睡了，我去叫醒他。」
12 門徒說：「主啊，如果他睡了，肯定會好的。」 13 其實耶穌是指他已經死了，門徒卻以為他真的睡了。
14 於是，耶穌清楚地對他們說：「拉撒路死了。 15 為了你們的緣故，我很高興自己不在那裡，好叫你們信我。現在我們可以去了。」 16 綽號「雙胞胎」的多馬對其他門徒說：「我們也去，好跟祂一塊兒死吧。」
拉撒路死而復活
17 耶穌到了伯大尼，得知拉撒路已經在墳墓裡四天了。 18 伯大尼離耶路撒冷不遠，大約只有三公里的路， 19 很多猶太人來看瑪大和瑪麗亞，為她們兄弟的事來安慰她們。
20 瑪大聽說耶穌來了，就去迎接祂，瑪麗亞卻仍然坐在家裡。 21 瑪大對耶穌說：「主啊，你如果早在這裡，我弟弟就不會死了。 22 就是現在我也知道你無論向上帝求什麼，上帝必定賜給你。」
23 耶穌說：「你弟弟必定復活。」
24 瑪大說：「我知道，在末日復活的時候，他必復活。」
25 耶穌說：「我是復活，我是生命。信我的人雖然死了，也必復活。 26 凡活著信我的人必永遠不死。你相信嗎？」
27 瑪大說：「主啊，我信！我相信你是來到世界的基督，是上帝的兒子。」
28 瑪大說完了，就回去悄悄地告訴她妹妹瑪麗亞：「老師來了，祂叫你去。」
29 瑪麗亞聽了，急忙起來到耶穌那裡。 30 那時，耶穌還沒有進村子，仍在瑪大迎接祂的地方。 31 那些在家裡安慰瑪麗亞的猶太人，見她匆匆忙忙地跑了出去，以為她要去墳墓那裡哭，就跟著出去。
32 瑪麗亞來到耶穌那裡，俯伏在祂腳前說：「主啊，你如果早在這裡，我弟弟就不會死了。」
33 耶穌看見她和陪她來的猶太人都在哭，心中感動，十分難過， 34 便問：「你們把他葬在哪裡了？」
他們答道：「主啊，你來看。」
35 耶穌哭了。
36 猶太人說：「你看！祂多麼愛拉撒路啊！」
37 其中也有人說：「祂既然能醫好瞎眼的人，難道不能叫這個人不死嗎？」
38 耶穌又十分感動地來到墳墓前。那墳墓是個洞，洞口堵著一塊大石頭。
39 耶穌說：「把石頭挪開。」
死者的姐姐瑪大對祂說：「主啊，他死了四天了，已經臭了。」
40 耶穌說：「我不是跟你說過，只要你信，就會看見上帝的榮耀嗎？」
41 於是，他們把石頭挪開，耶穌望著天說：「父啊，我感謝你，因為你已垂聽了我的禱告， 42 我知道你常常垂聽我的禱告。我這樣說是為了周圍站著的眾人，好叫他們相信是你差了我來。」
43 說完，就大聲呼喊：「拉撒路，出來！」 44 那死者就出來了，手腳都纏著布條，臉上也包著布。
耶穌對他們說：「給他解開，讓他走！」
謀害耶穌
45 許多來看瑪麗亞的猶太人看見耶穌所行的事，就信了祂， 46 但也有些人去見法利賽人，把耶穌所行的事告訴他們。 47 祭司長和法利賽人便召開公會會議，說：「這人行了這麼多神蹟，我們該怎麼辦呢？ 48 如果讓祂這樣繼續下去，所有的人都會信祂，那時羅馬人一定會來奪取我們的土地，擄掠我們的人民。」
49 當年擔任大祭司的該亞法對他們說：「你們什麼都不懂！ 50 你們沒有認識到，祂一個人替眾人死，而不是整個民族滅亡，對你們來說更好。」 51 其實這句話不是出於他自己，只因那年他是大祭司，上帝藉著他預言耶穌將要替猶太民族死。 52 祂不單是要替猶太民族死，也要把散居在各處的上帝的兒女聚集在一起。
53 從那天起，他們就計劃要殺害耶穌， 54 所以耶穌不再公開地在猶太人中間露面。祂離開伯大尼，前往靠近曠野的地方，到了以法蓮城，就和門徒住下來。
55 猶太人的逾越節快到了，有很多人從鄉下上耶路撒冷，預備在過節前潔淨自己。 56 他們四處尋找耶穌，又彼此在聖殿裡談論：「你們怎麼想？祂不會來過節吧？」 57 當時祭司長和法利賽人早已下令，如果有人知道耶穌在哪裡，就來報告，他們好去抓祂。
John 11
New King James Version
The Death of Lazarus
11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of (A)Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (B)It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love 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 may be glorified through it.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when He heard that he was sick, (C)He stayed two more days in the place where He was. 7 Then after this He said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to (D)stone You, and are You going there again?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? (E)If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the (F)light of this world. 10 But (G)if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” 11 These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus (H)sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”
12 Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.” 13 However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.
14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.”
16 Then (I)Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about [a]two miles away. 19 And many of the Jews had joined the women around 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 was sitting in the house. 21 Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that (J)whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to Him, (K)“I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am (L)the resurrection and the life. (M)He who believes in Me, though he may (N)die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, (O)I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
Jesus and Death, the Last Enemy
28 And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but [b]was in the place where Martha met Him. 31 (P)Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, [c]saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she (Q)fell down at His feet, saying to Him, (R)“Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34 And He said, “Where have you laid him?”
They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 (S)Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
37 And some of them said, “Could not this Man, (T)who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”
Lazarus Raised from the Dead
38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a (U)stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”
Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would (V)see the glory of God?” 41 Then they took away the stone [d]from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but (W)because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with (X)graveclothes, and (Y)his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus(Z)
45 Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, (AA)and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him. 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and (AB)told them the things Jesus did. 47 (AC)Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, (AD)“What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. 48 If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”
49 And one of them, (AE)Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 (AF)nor do you consider that it is expedient for [e]us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and (AG)not for that nation only, but (AH)also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
53 Then, from that day on, they plotted to (AI)put Him to death. 54 (AJ)Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called (AK)Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.
55 (AL)And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to (AM)purify themselves. 56 (AN)Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that He will not come to the feast?” 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might (AO)seize Him.

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Namatay si Lazaro
11 (A)May isang lalaking may sakit na ang pangalan ay Lazaro na taga-Betania. Kasama niyang naninirahan sa nayon ang mga kapatid na sina Maria at Marta. 2 (B)Si Maria ang nagbuhos ng pabango at nagpunas ng kanyang buhok sa mga paa ng Panginoon; ang kapatid niyang si Lazaro ay may sakit. 3 Kaya ang magkapatid na babae ay nagpadala ng mensahe kay Jesus, “Panginoon, siya na iyong minamahal ay may sakit.” 4 At nang marinig ito ni Jesus, sinabi niya, “Ang sakit na ito ay hindi mauuwi sa kamatayan, sa halip, ito ay para sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos, nang sa gayon ay luwalhatiin ang Anak ng Diyos sa pamamagitan nito.” 5 Mahal ni Jesus ang magkakapatid na sina Marta, Maria at Lazaro. 6 Gayunman matapos marinig na si Lazaro ay may sakit, dalawang araw pang nanatili si Jesus sa kanyang tinutuluyan.
7 Pagkatapos nito'y sinabi ni Jesus sa mga alagad, “Bumalik tayo sa Judea.” 8 Sinabi ng mga alagad sa kanya, “Rabbi, nagtatangka ang mga Judio na batuhin kayo, nais pa ba ninyong bumalik doon?” 9 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ba may labindalawang oras ng liwanag sa isang araw? Ang naglalakad kapag araw ay hindi matitisod sapagkat nakikita niya ang liwanag ng sanlibutang ito. 10 Ngunit ang lumalakad sa gabi ay matitisod, sapagkat ang liwanag ay wala sa kanya.” 11 Matapos niyang sabihin ito'y idinugtong niya, “Ang kaibigan nating si Lazaro ay natutulog, ngunit pupunta ako roon para gisingin siya.” 12 Sinabi ng mga alagad sa kanya, “Panginoon, kung siya ay natutulog, gagaling siya.” 13 Subalit ang tinutukoy ni Jesus ay ang pagkamatay ni Lazaro, ngunit ang akala ng mga alagad ay karaniwang pagtulog lamang. 14 Kaya pagkatapos nito ay tuwirang sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Patay na si Lazaro. 15 Para sa inyong kapakanan, mabuting wala ako roon, upang kayo’y sumampalataya. Gayunman, puntahan natin siya.” 16 Sinabi ni Tomas, na tinatawag na kambal, sa kapwa niya mga alagad, “Pumunta rin tayo upang mamatay na kasama niya.”
Si Jesus ang Muling Pagkabuhay at ang Buhay
17 Nang dumating si Jesus, nadatnan niyang apat na araw nang nakalibing si Lazaro. 18 Malapit ang Betania sa Jerusalem, mga tatlong kilometro[a] ang layo. 19 Maraming Judio ang pumunta kina Marta at Maria para aliwin sila dahil sa kanilang kapatid. 20 Nang marinig ni Marta na paparating si Jesus, sinalubong niya ito, habang si Maria naman ay naiwan sa bahay. 21 Sinabi ni Marta kay Jesus, “Panginoon, kung narito ka lang, hindi po sana namatay ang aking kapatid. 22 Ngunit ngayon, alam kong anumang hilingin mo sa Diyos ay ibibigay niya sa iyo.” 23 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Mabubuhay muli ang iyong kapatid.” 24 (C)Sumagot si Marta, “Alam kong mabubuhay siyang muli sa Pagkabuhay, sa huling araw.” 25 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Ako ang muling pagkabuhay at ang buhay. Ang mga sumasampalataya sa akin ay mabubuhay kahit na siya ay mamatay, 26 at sinumang nabubuhay at sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi mamamatay kailanman. Naniniwala ka ba rito?” 27 Sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Opo, Panginoon, naniniwala ako na ikaw ang Cristo, ang Anak ng Diyos, na siyang dumarating sa sanlibutan.” 28 Pagkasabi niya nito, bumalik siya kay Maria. Tinawag niya ito at palihim niyang sinabi, “Nandito ang guro at tinatawag ka.” 29 Nang marinig ito ni Maria, nagmadali siyang tumayo at pinuntahan si Jesus. 30 Hindi pa nakararating si Jesus sa nayon, naroon pa lang siya sa lugar na kinasalubungan sa kanya ni Marta. 31 Nakita ng mga Judiong kasama ni Maria sa bahay at umaaliw sa kanya na nagmadali siyang tumayo at umalis. Kaya sinundan nila si Maria sa pag-aakalang pupunta siya sa libingan para tumangis doon. 32 Pagdating ni Maria sa kinaroroonan ni Jesus, lumuhod siya sa paanan nito at nagsabi, “Panginoon, kung narito ka lang, hindi po sana namatay ang aking kapatid.” 33 Nang makita ni Jesus na tumatangis si Maria, maging ang mga Judiong kasama niya, nabagbag ang kanyang kalooban at siya'y nabahala. 34 Nagtanong si Jesus, “Saan ninyo siya inilagay?” Sumagot sila, “Halikayo, Panginoon, at tingnan ninyo.” 35 Tumangis si Jesus. 36 Dahil dito, sinabi ng mga Judio, “Tingnan ninyo kung gaano niya kamahal si Lazaro!” 37 Subalit ilan sa kanila ang nagsabi, “Hindi ba ang taong ito ang nagpagaling sa taong bulag? Bakit hindi niya napigilan ang pagkamatay ni Lazaro?”
Binuhay ni Jesus si Lazaro
38 Muling nabagabag si Jesus nang dumating siya sa libingan. Ito’y isang yungib at may batong nakatakip doon. 39 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Alisin ninyo ang bato.” Sinabi sa kanya ni Marta na kapatid ng namatay, “Panginoon, nangangamoy na siya dahil apat na araw na siyang patay.” 40 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Hindi ba sinabi ko na sa iyo na kung ikaw ay sasampalataya, makikita mo ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos?” 41 Kaya tinanggal nila ang bato. Tumingala si Jesus at nagsabi, “Ama, salamat dahil dininig mo ako. 42 Alam kong lagi mo akong pinakikinggan, ngunit sinabi ko ito para sa mga taong nakatayo rito, upang sila'y maniwala na isinugo mo ako.” 43 Pagkasabi niya nito, sumigaw siya nang malakas, “Lazaro, lumabas ka!” 44 Lumabas nga si Lazaro na nababalot ng tela ang mga kamay at paa, gayundin ang kanyang mukha. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kalagan ninyo siya, at hayaang makaalis.”
Ang Balak na Pagpatay kay Jesus
45 Kaya’t maraming Judiong sumama kay Maria na nakakita ng ginawa ni Jesus ang sumampalataya sa kanya. 46 Ngunit ilan sa kanila ay nagpunta sa mga Fariseo at nagbalita ng ginawa ni Jesus. 47 Dahil dito, ang mga punong pari at mga Fariseo ay nagpatawag ng pulong. “Ano'ng gagawin natin?” tanong nila. “Maraming himalang ginagawa ang taong ito. 48 Kung pababayaan natin siyang ganito, lahat ay maniniwala sa kanya at darating ang mga Romano para wasakin ang ating templo at ating bansa.” 49 Si Caifas na kabilang sa kanila na siya ring punong pari nang panahong iyon ay nagsabi, “Wala talaga kayong alam! 50 Hindi ninyo naiintindihan na mas mabuti para sa inyo na hayaang mamatay ang isang tao para sa bayan, kaysa hayaang mawasak ang buong bansa.” 51 Hindi niya ito sinabi mula sa kanyang sarili; kundi, bilang isang punong pari nang panahong iyon, nagpropesiya siya na si Jesus ay malapit nang mamatay para sa bansa. 52 At hindi lamang para sa bansa, kundi upang tipunin niya at pag-isahin ang mga nagkawatak-watak na anak ng Diyos. 53 Kaya’t mula sa araw na iyon, nagbalak silang patayin si Jesus. 54 Dahil dito, hindi na naglakad nang hayagan sa Judea si Jesus. Mula roon, nagpunta siya sa isang bayang tinatawag na Efraim, isang bayang malapit sa ilang. Nanatili siya roon kasama ang kanyang mga alagad.
55 Malapit na noon ang pista ng Paskuwa ng mga Judio, at maraming nagpunta sa Jerusalem mula sa kanayunan bago mag-Paskuwa upang maglinis ng mga sarili ayon sa kautusan. 56 Hinahanap nila si Jesus at habang nakatayo sa templo ay nagtatanungan, “Ano sa palagay ninyo? Hindi kaya siya pupunta sa pista?” 57 Nag-utos ang mga punong pari ng mga Judio at ang mga Fariseo na ipagbigay-alam sa kanila ng sinumang nakaaalam kung nasaan si Jesus upang siya'y maipadakip nila.
