约翰福音 11
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
拉撒路死了
11 有一个患病的人,名叫拉撒路,住在伯大尼,就是马利亚和她姊姊马大的村庄。 2 这马利亚就是后来用香膏抹主,并且用头发把主的脚擦干的那人;患病的拉撒路是她的兄弟。 3 姊妹二人派人到耶稣那里去,说:“主啊,你所爱的人病了。” 4 耶稣听见,就说:“这病不至于死,而是为了 神的荣耀,使 神的儿子因此得到荣耀。” 5 耶稣向来爱马大和她的妹妹马利亚,以及拉撒路。 6 他听说拉撒路病了,仍然在原来的地方住了两天, 7 然后对门徒说:“我们再到犹太去吧。” 8 门徒对他说:“拉比,近来犹太人要拿石头打你,你还到那里去吗?” 9 耶稣说:“白昼不是有十二小时吗?人若在白昼行走,就不会跌倒,因为他看见这世上的光; 10 人若在夜间行走,就会跌倒,因为他没有光。” 11 耶稣说完了这些话,跟着又对他们说:“我们的朋友拉撒路睡了,我要去唤醒他。” 12 门徒说:“主啊,如果他睡了,就会好过来的。” 13 其实耶稣是指着拉撒路的死说的,门徒却以为他是指正常的睡眠说的。 14 于是,耶稣公开地告诉他们:“拉撒路死了。 15 我为你们欢喜,因为我不在那里,是要使你们相信。现在我们到他那里去吧。” 16 那称为“双生子”(“双生子”原文作“低土马”)的多马,对其他的门徒说:“我们也去跟他一同死吧!”
耶稣是复活是生命
17 耶稣到了,知道拉撒路在坟墓里已经四天了。 18 伯大尼靠近耶路撒冷,相距约有三公里。 19 有许多犹太人来到马大和马利亚那里,为了拉撒路的死来安慰她们。 20 马大听见耶稣来了,就去迎接他,马利亚却仍然坐在家里。 21 马大对耶稣说:“主啊,如果你早在这里,我的兄弟就不会死了! 22 就是现在,我也知道无论你向 神求甚么, 神必赐给你。” 23 耶稣对她说:“你的兄弟必会复活。” 24 马大说:“我知道在末日复活的时候,他必会复活。” 25 耶稣说:“我就是复活和生命;信我的人,虽然死了,也要活着。 26 所有活着又信我的人,必定永远不死,你信这话吗?” 27 她说:“主啊,我信;我已经信了,你是基督,是 神的儿子,是那要到世上来的。”
耶稣使拉撒路复活
28 马大说了这些话,就回去叫她妹妹马利亚,暗暗地说:“老师来了,他叫你。” 29 马利亚一听见,就急忙起来,到耶稣那里去。 30 那时,耶稣还没有进入村子,仍然在马大迎接他的地方。 31 那些在房子里和马利亚在一起安慰她的犹太人,见她匆忙地起来出去,就跟着她,以为她要到坟墓那里去哭。 32 马利亚来到耶稣那里,一看见他,就俯伏在他脚前,说:“主啊,如果你早在这里,我的兄弟就不会死了!” 33 耶稣看见她在哭,和她一同来的犹太人也在哭,就心里激动,难过起来, 34 说:“你们把他安放在哪里?”他们说:“主啊,请来看。” 35 耶稣哭了。 36 于是犹太人说:“你看,他多么爱这个人!” 37 他们中间有人说:“他既然开了瞎子的眼睛,难道不能使这个人不死吗?”
38 耶稣又再心里激动,来到坟墓前面。那坟墓是一个洞穴,洞口有块石头堵住。 39 耶稣说:“把这块石头挪开!”死者的姊姊马大对他说:“主啊,已经四天了,他必定臭了。” 40 耶稣说:“我不是对你说过‘如果你信,就必定看见 神的荣耀’吗?” 41 于是他们把石头挪开。耶稣举目向天,说:“父啊,我感谢你,因为你垂听了我, 42 我知道你常常听我,但我说这话,是为了周围站着的群众,叫他们信是你差了我来。” 43 说了这话,就大声呼喊:“拉撒路,出来!” 44 那死了的人就出来,他的手脚都缠着布,脸上裹着巾。耶稣说:“解开他,让他走!”
祭司长等想杀害耶稣
45 有许多到马利亚那里去的犹太人,看见了耶稣所作的事,就信了他。 46 但他们中间有些人到法利赛人那里去,把耶稣所作的事都告诉他们。 47 于是祭司长和法利赛人召开公议会,说:“这个人行了许多神迹,我们怎么办呢? 48 我们若让他这样,所有的人都会信他,罗马人就会来,夺取我们的圣地,除灭我们的民族。” 49 他们当中有一位该亚法,是那年作大祭司的,对他们说:“你们甚么都不知道, 50 也不去想想,一个人代替人民死,免得整个民族灭亡,这对你们是有益的。” 51 他说这话不是由于自己,而是因为他是那年的大祭司,所以预言耶稣要替犹太民族死; 52 不但替犹太民族死,也要把散居各地的 神的儿女招聚成为一体。 53 从那天起,他们就想杀害耶稣。
54 因此,耶稣不再在犹太人中间公开活动,却离开那里,到旷野附近的地方去;到了一座名叫以法莲的城,就和门徒住在那里。
55 犹太人的逾越节快到了,有许多人在过节前从各乡上耶路撒冷去,要在那里洁净自己。 56 他们到处寻找耶稣,站在圣殿里的时候,彼此说:“你们认为怎样?他不会来过节吧?” 57 祭司长和法利赛人早已下了命令:如果有人知道耶稣在哪里,就要前来报告,好去逮捕他。

New International Version
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 ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of (A)Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (B)It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, (C)he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, (D)“This illness does not lead to death. It is for (E)the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Now (F)Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus[a] was ill, (G)he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, (H)“Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to him, (I)“Rabbi, (J)the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, (K)“Are there not twelve hours in the day? (L)If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But (M)if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not (N)in him.” 11 After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus (O)has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” 12 The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 (P)So Thomas, called the Twin,[b] said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, (Q)that we may die with him.”
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb (R)four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles[c] off, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary (S)to console them concerning their brother. 20 (T)So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Martha said to (U)Jesus, “Lord, (V)if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, (W)God will give you.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 (X)Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in (Y)the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, (Z)“I am the resurrection and (AA)the life.[d] Whoever believes in me, (AB)though he die, (AC)yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me (AD)shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; (AE)I believe that (AF)you are the Christ, the Son of God, (AG)who is coming into the world.”
Jesus Weeps
28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, (AH)“The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews (AI)who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, (AJ)“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he (AK)was deeply moved[e] in his spirit and (AL)greatly troubled. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 (AM)Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See (AN)how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he (AO)who opened the eyes of the blind man (AP)also have kept this man from dying?”
Jesus Raises Lazarus
38 Then Jesus, (AQ)deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was (AR)a cave, and (AS)a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for (AT)he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, (AU)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see (AV)the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus (AW)lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 (AX)I knew that you always hear me, but I said this (AY)on account of the people standing around, (AZ)that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 (BA)The man who had died came out, (BB)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and (BC)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus
45 (BD)Many of the Jews therefore, (BE)who had come with Mary and (BF)had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees (BG)gathered (BH)the council and said, (BI)“What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and (BJ)the Romans will come and take away both our (BK)place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, (BL)Caiaphas, (BM)who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that (BN)it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but (BO)being high priest that year (BP)he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and (BQ)not for the nation only, but also (BR)to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they (BS)made plans to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore (BT)no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
55 Now (BU)the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and (BV)many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover (BW)to purify themselves. 56 (BX)They were looking for[f] Jesus and 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 the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
