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。 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。 姊妹二人派人到耶稣那里去,说:“主啊,你所爱的人病了。” 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。” 耶稣向来爱马大和她的妹妹马利亚,以及拉撒路。 他听说拉撒路病了,仍然在原来的地方住了两天, 然后对门徒说:“我们再到犹太去吧。” 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?” 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。

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。 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。 她們姊妹兩個託人去告訴耶穌,說:「主啊,你所愛的人病了!」

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。」 耶穌一向愛瑪大、瑪麗亞和拉撒路, 可是祂聽到拉撒路有病的消息後,仍逗留了兩天, 然後才對門徒說:「我們去猶太吧!」

門徒說:「老師,猶太人近來想拿石頭打你,你還要去那裡嗎?」

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。

The Death of Lazarus

11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of (A)Mary and her sister Martha. (B)It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

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.”

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when He heard that he was sick, (C)He stayed two more days in the place where He was. Then after this He said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”

The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to (D)stone You, and are You going there again?”

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.

11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha. It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”

But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.” Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was. Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”

The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”

Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.” 11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep. 14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead. 15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus,[a] said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”

17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia[b] away. 19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. 20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house. 21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. 22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. 26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”

29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him. 31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled, 34 and said, “Where have you laid him?”

They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!” 37 Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a 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, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”

41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.[c] Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me. 42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth.

Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him. 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. 47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs. 48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.” 51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death. 54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. 56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?” 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
