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.

11 Един човек на име Лазар, от Витания, от селото на Мария и на сестра - Марта, беше болен.
2 (А Мария, чийто брат Лазар беше болен, бе оная, която помаза Господа с миро и отри нозете Му с косата си).
3 И тъй, сестрите пратиха до Него да Му кажат: Господи, ето този, когото обичаш, е болен.
4 А Исус, като чу това, рече: Тази болест не е смъртоносна, но е за Божията слава, за да се прослави Божият Син чрез нея.
5 А Исус обичаше Марта, и сестра й, и Лазара.
6 Тогава откак чу, че бил болен, престоя два дни на мястото, гдето се намираше.
7 А подир това, казва на учениците: Да отидем пак в Юдея.
8 Казват Му учениците: Учителю, сега юдеите искаха да те убият с камъни, и пак ли там отиваш?
9 Исус отговори: Нали има дванадесет часа в деня? Ако ходи някой денем, не се препъва, защото вижда виделината на този свят.
10 Но ако ходи някой нощем, препъва се, защото не е осветлен.
11 Това изговори, и подир туй им каза: Нашият приятел Лазар заспа; но Аз отивам да го събудя.
12 Затова учениците Му рекоха: Господи, ако е заспал, ще оздравее.
13 Но Исус бе говорил за смъртта му; а те мислеха, че говори за почиване в сън.
14 Тогава Исус им рече ясно: Лазар умря.
15 И заради вас, радвам се, че не бях там, за да повярвате; обаче, нека да отидем при него.
16 Тогава Тома, наречен близнак, каза на съучениците: Да отидем и ние, за да умрем с Него.
17 И тъй, като дойде Исус, намери, че Лазар бил от четири дни в гроба.
18 А Витания беше близо до Ерусалим, колкото петнадесет стадии;
19 и мнозина от юдеите бяха при Марта и Мария да ги утешават за брата им.
20 Марта, прочее, като чу, че идел Исус, отиде да Го посрещне; а Мария още седеше в къщи.
21 Тогава Марта рече на Исуса: Господи, да беше Ти тука, не щеше да умре брат ми.
22 Но и сега зная, че каквото и да поискаш от Бога, Богще Ти даде.
23 Казва - Исус: Брат ти ще възкръсне.
24 Казва Му Марта: Зная, че ще възкръсне с възкресението на последния ден.
25 Исус - рече: Аз съм възкресението и живота; който вярва в Мене, ако и да умре, ще живее;
26 и никой, който е жив и вярва в Мене, няма да умре до века. Вярваш ли това?
27 Казва му: Да Господи, вярвам, че Ти си Христос, Божият Син, Който има да дойде на света.
28 И като рече това, отиде да повика скришом сестра си Мария, казвайки: Учителят е дошъл и те вика.
29 И тя, щом чу това, стана бързо и отиде при Него.
30 Исус още не беше дошъл в селото, а беше на мястото, гдето Го посрещна Марта.
31 А юдеите, които бяха с нея в къщи и я утешаваха, като видяха, че Мария стана бързо и излезе, отидоха подире й, като мислеха че отива на гроба да плаче там.
32 И тъй, Мария, като дойде там гдето беше Исус и Го видя, падна пред нозете Му и рече Му: Господи, да беше Ти тука, нямаше да умре брат ми.
33 Исус, като я видя, че плаче, и юдеите, които я придружаваха, че плачат, разтъжи се в духа си и се смути.
34 И рече: Где го положихте? Казват Му: Господи, дойди и виж.
35 Исус се просълзи.
36 Затова юдеите думаха: Виж колко го е обичал!
37 А някои от тях рекоха: Не можеше ли Този, Който отвори очите на слепеца, да направи така, че и този да не умре?
38 Исус, прочее, като тъжеше пак в Себе Си, дохожда на гроба. Беше пещера, и на нея бе привален камък.
39 Казва Исус: Отместете камъка. Марта, сестрата на умрелия, Му казва: Господи, смърди вече, защото е от четири дни в гроба.
40 Казва - Исус: Не рекох ли ти, че ако повярваш ще видиш и Божията слава?
41 И тъй, отместиха камъка. А Исус подигна очи нагоре и рече: Отче, благодаря Ти, че Ме послуша.
42 Аз знаех, че Ти винаги Ме слушаш; но това казах заради народа, който стои наоколо, за да повярват, че Ти си Ме пратил.
43 Като каза това, извика със силен глас: Лазаре, излез вън!
44 Умрелият излезе, с ръце и нозе повити в саван, и лицето му забрадено с кърпа. Исус им каза: Разповийте го и оставете го да си иде.
45 Тогава мнозина от юдеите, които бяха дошли при Мария и видяха това що стори Исус, повярваха в Него.
46 А някои от тях отидоха при фарисеите и казаха им какво бе извършил Исус.
47 Затова главните свещеници и фарисеите събраха съвет и казаха: Какво правим ние? Защото Този човек върши много знамения.
48 Ако Го оставим така, всички ще повярват в Него; и римляните като дойдат ще отнемат и страната ни и народа ни.
49 А един от тях на име Каиафа, който беше първосвещеник през тая година, им рече: Вие нищо не знаете,
50 нито вземате в съображение, че за вас е по-добре един човек да умре за людете, а не да загине целият народ.
51 Това не каза от себе си, но бидейки първосвещеник през оная година, предсказа, че Исус ще умре за народа,
52 и не само за народа, но и за да събере в едно разпръснатите Божии чада.
53 И тъй, от онзи ден те се съветваха да Го умъртвят.
54 Затова Исус вече не ходеше явно между юдеите, но оттам отиде в страната близо до пустинята, в един град наречен Ефраим, и там остана с учениците.
55 А наближаваше юдейската пасха; и мнозина от провинцията отидоха в Ерусалим преди пасхата, за да се очистят.
56 И така, те търсеха Исуса, и, стоейки в храма, разговаряха се помежду си: Как ви се вижда? няма ли да дойде на празника?
57 А главните свещеници и фарисеите бяха издали заповед, щото, ако узнае някой къде е, да извести, за да Го уловят. ГЛАВА 12

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.
