A morte de Lázaro
11 Um homem chamado Lázaro estava doente. Ele vivia na cidade de Betânia, onde também viviam Maria e a sua irmã Marta. 2 (Maria foi a mulher que, mais tarde, derramou perfume sobre o Senhor e enxugou-lhe os pés com os seus cabelos. Lázaro, o homem que estava doente, era irmão de Maria.) 3 Então Maria e Marta mandaram um recado a Jesus, dizendo:
—Senhor, aquele a quem o senhor ama está doente.
4 Quando Jesus ouviu isso, disse:
—Esta doença não é para a morte, mas para a glória de Deus; para que o Filho de Deus seja glorificado por ela.
5 Jesus amava Marta, sua irmã Maria e Lázaro. 6 Ainda assim, permaneceu por mais dois dias no lugar onde estava, mesmo sabendo que Lázaro estava doente. 7 Depois disso, Jesus disse aos seus discípulos:
—Vamos voltar para a Judeia.
8 Os discípulos perguntaram:
—Mas Mestre, ainda há pouco tempo atrás os judeus queriam apedrejá-lo, e agora o senhor quer voltar para lá?
9 Jesus respondeu:
—Não há doze horas de luz no dia? Se alguém anda de dia não tropeça porque pode ver com a luz que brilha neste mundo.[a] 10 Mas se alguém anda de noite, tropeça, pois não há luz para que ele possa ver.
11 Depois de Jesus ter dito isto, acrescentou:
—O nosso amigo Lázaro adormeceu. Eu vou lá para acordá-lo. 12 Os discípulos disseram:
—Senhor, se ele está dormindo, quer dizer que vai ficar bom. 13 (Jesus queria dizer que Lázaro tinha morrido, mas os discípulos pensaram que ele estivesse falando de sono.) 14 Então Jesus lhes disse claramente:
—Lázaro morreu, 15 e eu estou contente por não ter estado lá, pois assim vocês podem crer. Vamos até lá para vê-lo.
16 Então Tomé (o que se chama Dídimo) disse aos outros discípulos:
—Vamos nós também, para morrermos com Jesus.
Jesus em Betânia
17 Quando Jesus chegou em Betânia, soube que Lázaro já tinha sido enterrado há quatro dias. 18 (Betânia ficava cerca de três quilômetros[b] de Jerusalém 19 e muitos dos judeus tinham ido para lá confortar Marta e Maria pela morte de seu irmão.) 20 Quando Marta ouviu dizer que Jesus estava chegando, foi ao seu encontro, mas Maria ficou em casa, sentada. 21 Marta disse a Jesus:
—Senhor, se tivesse estado aqui o meu irmão não teria morrido. 22 Mas eu sei que, mesmo agora, Deus dará tudo o que lhe pedir.
23 Jesus disse a ela:
—O seu irmão se levantará e viverá outra vez.
24 Marta respondeu:
—Eu sei que ele se levantará e viverá outra vez na ressurreição, no último dia.
25 Jesus lhe disse:
—Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida. Quem crê em mim, mesmo que esteja morto, viverá; 26 e todo aquele que vive e crê em mim nunca morrerá. Você crê nisto?
27 Marta respondeu:
—Sim, Senhor! Eu creio que o senhor é o Messias, o Filho de Deus, que estava para vir ao mundo.
Jesus chora
28 Depois de ter dito isto, Marta voltou, chamou sua irmã Maria e lhe disse em particular:
—O Mestre está aqui e está chamando você.
29 Ao ouvir isto, Maria se levantou rapidamente e foi ao encontro de Jesus. 30 (Jesus ainda nem tinha entrado na cidade; ele tinha ficado no lugar onde Marta o havia encontrado.) 31 Os judeus que estavam na casa de Maria para confortá-la a viram sair às pressas e a seguiram. Eles pensaram que ela estava indo ao túmulo para chorar. 32 Maria, porém, seguia para o lugar onde Jesus estava. Quando ela o viu, caiu aos pés dele e disse:
—Senhor, se tivesse estado aqui o meu irmão não teria morrido.
33 Quando Jesus viu que Maria estava chorando e que os judeus que tinham vindo atrás dela também choravam, sentiu grande tristeza no coração e ficou muito perturbado. 34 Então Jesus perguntou:
—Onde foi que vocês o enterraram?
Eles responderam:
—Senhor, venha e verá.
35 E Jesus começou a chorar. 36 Então os judeus disseram:
—Vejam o quanto ele o amava!
37 Mas outros disseram:
—Se Jesus abriu os olhos do cego, por que não impediu a morte de Lázaro?
Jesus ressuscita Lázaro
38 De novo Jesus sentiu uma grande tristeza no coração e foi para o túmulo. Era uma gruta fechada por uma grande pedra. 39 Jesus disse:
—Tirem a pedra.
Marta, a irmã do morto, então disse:
—Senhor, já cheira mal, pois já faz quatro dias que ele morreu.
40 Jesus disse a ela:
—Eu não lhe disse que, se você cresse, veria a glória de Deus?
41 Então tiraram a pedra da entrada do túmulo. Jesus olhou para o céu e disse:
—Pai, obrigado pelo senhor ter me ouvido. 42 Eu sei que o senhor me ouve sempre, mas digo isto para que as pessoas que estão à minha volta possam crer que o senhor me enviou.
43 Depois de Jesus ter dito isto, chamou em voz alta:
—Lázaro, venha para fora!
44 O homem que tinha morrido veio para fora. Ele tinha as mãos e os pés envolvidos em faixas de pano e seu rosto também estava coberto por um lenço. Jesus disse ao povo:
—Tirem os panos dele e deixem que ele vá embora.
O plano para matar Jesus
(Mt 26.1-5; Mc 14.1-2; Lc 22.1-2)
45 Muitos dos judeus que tinham ido com Maria e visto o que Jesus tinha feito, creram nele. 46 Outros, porém, foram contar aos fariseus o que Jesus tinha feito. 47 Então os líderes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus convocaram uma reunião do Conselho Superior dos judeus e perguntaram:
—Que devemos fazer? Este homem está fazendo muitos milagres. 48 Se deixarmos que ele continue fazendo estas coisas, todos vão crer nele e os romanos virão e destruirão nosso templo e nossa nação.
49 Porém, estava entre eles o sumo sacerdote daquele ano, Caifás, e ele disse:
—Vocês não entendem nada. 50 Vocês não percebem que é muito melhor que um homem morra em lugar do povo em vez de ser destruída toda uma nação?
51 Caifás não disse isso de si mesmo. Sendo o sumo sacerdote daquele ano, ele estava profetizando que Jesus teria que morrer pela nação dos judeus. 52 E não só por ela, mas também por todos os filhos de Deus espalhados pelo mundo. E todos seriam um só povo. 53 A partir daquele dia, eles começaram a planejar uma maneira de matar Jesus. 54 Por já não poder mais andar livremente entre os judeus, Jesus saiu dali. Ele foi para uma cidade chamada Efraim, perto do deserto, e ali ficou com os seus discípulos.
55 Estava próxima a festa da Páscoa dos judeus. Muitas pessoas do campo foram para a cidade de Jerusalém, antes da festa, para se purificarem. 56 O povo procurava Jesus. No templo perguntavam uns aos outros:
—Será que ele virá para a festa? O que vocês acham?
57 Mas os líderes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus tinham dado ordens que, se alguém soubesse onde Jesus estava, devia informá-los para que eles pudessem prendê-lo.

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.

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.
