The Raising of Lazarus
11 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha. 2 This is the Mary who later poured the expensive perfume on the Lord’s feet and wiped them with her hair.[a] Her brother, Lazarus, was sick. 3 So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, your dear friend is very sick.”
4 But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it happened for the glory of God so that the Son of God will receive glory from this.” 5 So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, 6 he stayed where he was for the next two days. 7 Finally, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
8 But his disciples objected. “Rabbi,” they said, “only a few days ago the people[b] in Judea were trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Jesus replied, “There are twelve hours of daylight every day. During the day people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world. 10 But at night there is danger of stumbling because they have no light.” 11 Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up.”
12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will soon get better!” 13 They thought Jesus meant Lazarus was simply sleeping, but Jesus meant Lazarus had died.
14 So he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15 And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.”
16 Thomas, nicknamed the Twin,[c] said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too—and die with Jesus.”
17 When Jesus arrived at Bethany, he was told that Lazarus had already been in his grave for four days. 18 Bethany was only a few miles[d] down the road from Jerusalem, 19 and many of the people had come to console Martha and Mary in their loss. 20 When Martha got word that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask.”
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 “Yes,” Martha said, “he will rise when everyone else rises, at the last day.”
25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life.[e] Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she told him. “I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God.” 28 Then she returned to Mary. She called Mary aside from the mourners and told her, “The Teacher is here and wants to see you.” 29 So Mary immediately went to him.
30 Jesus had stayed outside the village, at the place where Martha met him. 31 When the people who were at the house consoling Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus’s grave to weep. So they followed her there. 32 When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him,[f] and he was deeply troubled. 34 “Where have you put him?” he asked them.
They told him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Then Jesus wept. 36 The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!” 37 But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
38 Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. 39 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them.
But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”
40 Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” 41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. 42 You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.” 43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”
The Plot to Kill Jesus
45 Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen. 46 But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council[g] together. “What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “This man certainly performs many miraculous signs. 48 If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple[h] and our nation.”
49 Caiaphas, who was high priest at that time,[i] said, “You don’t know what you’re talking about! 50 You don’t realize that it’s better for you that one man should die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”
51 He did not say this on his own; as high priest at that time he was led to prophesy that Jesus would die for the entire nation. 52 And not only for that nation, but to bring together and unite all the children of God scattered around the world.
53 So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus’ death. 54 As a result, Jesus stopped his public ministry among the people and left Jerusalem. He went to a place near the wilderness, to the village of Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.
55 It was now almost time for the Jewish Passover celebration, and many people from all over the country arrived in Jerusalem several days early so they could go through the purification ceremony before Passover began. 56 They kept looking for Jesus, but as they stood around in the Temple, they said to each other, “What do you think? He won’t come for Passover, will he?” 57 Meanwhile, the leading priests and Pharisees had publicly ordered that anyone seeing Jesus must report it immediately so they could arrest him.

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.

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.
