11 1-2 Do you remember Mary, who poured the costly perfume on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair?[a] Well, her brother Lazarus, who lived in Bethany with Mary and her sister Martha, was sick. 3 So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Sir, your good friend is very, very sick.”
4 But when Jesus heard about it he said, “The purpose of his illness is not death, but for the glory of God. I, the Son of God, will receive glory from this situation.”
5 Although Jesus was very fond of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, 6 he stayed where he was for the next two days and made no move to go to them. 7 Finally, after the two days, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go to Judea.”
8 But his disciples objected. “Master,” they said, “only a few days ago the Jewish leaders in Judea were trying to kill you. Are you going there again?”
9 Jesus replied, “There are twelve hours of daylight every day, and during every hour of it a man can walk safely and not stumble. 10 Only at night is there danger of a wrong step, because of the dark.” 11 Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep, but now I will go and waken him!”
12-13 The disciples, thinking Jesus meant Lazarus was having a good night’s rest, said, “That means he is getting better!” But Jesus meant Lazarus had died.
14 Then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15 And for your sake, I am glad I wasn’t there, for this will give you another opportunity to believe in me. Come, let’s go to him.”
16 Thomas, nicknamed “The Twin,” said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go too—and die with him.”
17 When they arrived at Bethany, they were told that Lazarus had already been in his tomb for four days. 18 Bethany was only a couple of miles down the road from Jerusalem, 19 and many of the Jewish leaders had come to pay their respects and to console Martha and Mary on their loss. 20 When Martha got word that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary stayed at home.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Sir, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. 22 And even now it’s not too late, for I know that God will bring my brother back to life again, if you will only ask him to.”
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will come back to life again.”
24 “Yes,” Martha said, “when everyone else does, on Resurrection Day.”
25 Jesus told her, “I am the one who raises the dead and gives them life again. Anyone who believes in me, even though he dies like anyone else, shall live again. 26 He is given eternal life for believing in me and shall never perish. Do you believe this, Martha?”
27 “Yes, Master,” she told him. “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one we have so long awaited.”
28 Then she left him and returned to Mary and, calling her aside from the mourners, told her, “He is here and wants to see you.” 29 So Mary went to him at once.
30 Now Jesus had stayed outside the village, at the place where Martha met him. 31 When the Jewish leaders who were at the house trying to console Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus’ tomb to weep; so they followed her.
32 When Mary arrived where Jesus was, she fell down at his feet, saying, “Sir, if you had been here, my brother would still be alive.”
33 When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jewish leaders wailing with her, he was moved with indignation and deeply troubled. 34 “Where is he buried?” he asked them.
They told him, “Come and see.” 35 Tears came to Jesus’ eyes.
36 “They were close friends,” the Jewish leaders said. “See how much he loved him.”
37-38 But some said, “This fellow healed a blind man—why couldn’t he keep Lazarus from dying?”
And again Jesus was moved with deep anger. Then they came to the tomb. It was a cave with a heavy stone rolled across its door.
39 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them.
But Martha, the dead man’s sister, said, “By now the smell will be terrible, for he has been dead four days.”
40 “But didn’t I tell you that you will see a wonderful miracle from God if you believe?” Jesus asked her.
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, of course, but I said it because of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.)” 43 Then he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 And Lazarus came—bound up in the gravecloth, his face muffled in a head swath. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”
45 And so at last many of the Jewish leaders who were with Mary and saw it happen, finally believed on him. 46 But some went away to the Pharisees and reported it to them.
47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened a council to discuss the situation.
“What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “For this man certainly does miracles. 48 If we let him alone the whole nation will follow him—and then the Roman army will come and kill us and take over the Jewish government.”
49 And one of them, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said, “You stupid idiots— 50 let this one man die for the people—why should the whole nation perish?”
51 This prophecy that Jesus should die for the entire nation came from Caiaphas in his position as High Priest—he didn’t think of it by himself, but was inspired to say it. 52 It was a prediction that Jesus’ death would not be for Israel only, but for all the children of God scattered around the world. 53 So from that time on the Jewish leaders began plotting Jesus’ death.
54 Jesus now stopped his public ministry and left Jerusalem; he went to the edge of the desert, to the village of Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.
55 The Passover, a Jewish holy day, was near, and many country people arrived in Jerusalem several days early so that they could go through the cleansing ceremony before the Passover began. 56 They wanted to see Jesus, and as they gossiped in the Temple, they asked each other, “What do you think? Will he come for the Passover?” 57 Meanwhile the chief priests and Pharisees had publicly announced that anyone seeing Jesus must report him immediately so that they could arrest him.

나사로의 죽음
11 마리아와 마르다 두 자매가 사는 베다니에 나사로라는 사람이 병들어 있었다.
2 그는 마리아의 오빠였으며 마리아는 주님께 값비싼 향유를 붓고 자기 머리카락으로 주님의 발을 닦아 드린 여자였다.
3 두 자매는 예수님께 사람을 보내 “주님, 주님이 사랑하시는 사람이 병들었습니다” 라는 말을 전하게 하였다.
4 예수님은 이 말을 들으시고 “이 병은 죽을 병이 아니라 하나님의 영광을 위한 것이며 이것을 통해서 하나님의 아들이 영광을 받게 하려는 것이다” 하고 말씀하셨다.
5 예수님은 두 자매와 나사로를 사랑하고 계셨다.
6 그래서 예수님은 나사로가 병들었다는 말을 들으시고 계시던 곳에서 이틀을 더 머무시다가
7 제자들에게 “다시 유대로 가자” 하고 말씀하셨다.
8 제자들이 예수님께 “선생님, 얼마 전에도 유대인들이 선생님을 돌로 치려고 했는데 또 그리로 가려고 하십니까?” 하자
9 예수님이 대답하셨다. “낮은 열두 시간이 아니냐? 누구든지 낮에 다니는 사람은 이 세상 빛을 보기 때문에 걸려 넘어지지 않지만
10 밤에 다니면 그 사람에게 빛이 없으므로 걸려 넘어진다.”
11 예수님은 이 말씀을 하신 후 그들에게 “우리 친구 나사로가 잠들었다. 그러나 내가 그를 깨우러 간다” 하고 말씀하셨다.
12 그때 제자들이 “주님, 그가 잠들었으면 나을 것입니다” 하였다.
13 예수님은 나사로가 죽은 것을 가리켜 말씀하셨으나 제자들은 그저 잠들어 쉬고 있는 것으로 생각하였다.
14 그래서 예수님이 제자들에게 분명하게 말씀해 주셨다. “나사로는 죽었다.
15 너희를 위해 내가 거기 없었던 것을 나는 기뻐한다. 이것은 너희가 믿도록 하기 위해서이다. 그러나 이제 그에게로 가자.”
16 그때 [a]디두모라는 도마가 다른 제자들에게 “우리도 예수님과 함께 죽으러 가자” 하였다.
17 예수님이 그 곳에 도착해서 보니 나사로가 무덤에 묻힌 지 이미 4일이나 되었다.
18 베다니는 예루살렘에서 [b]3킬로미터 조금 못 되는 가까운 곳이었다.
19 많은 유대인들이 오빠의 죽음을 슬퍼하는 마르다와 마리아를 위로하러 와 있었다.
20 마르다는 예수님이 오신다는 말을 듣고 마중을 나갔으나 마리아는 집에 있었다.
21 마르다는 예수님께 이렇게 말하였다. “주님께서 여기 계셨더라면 제 오빠가 죽지 않았을 거예요.
22 그러나 저는 지금이라도 주님이 구하시는 것은 무엇이든지 하나님이 주실 것으로 압니다.”
23 “네 오빠가 다시 살아날 것이다.”
24 “마지막 날 부활 때에 오빠가 다시 살아나리라는 것은 저도 알고 있습니다.”
25 “나는 부활이며 생명이다. 나를 믿는 사람은 죽어도 살 것이며
26 누구든지 살아서 나를 믿는 사람은 영원히 죽지 않을 것이다. 네가 이것을 믿느냐?”
27 “예, 주님. 저는 주님이 세상에 오실 [c]그리스도시며 하나님의 아들이심을 믿습니다.”
28 이 말을 하고서 마르다는 집으로 돌아가 동생 마리아를 조용히 불러 “선생님이 오셔서 너를 찾으신다” 하고 일러 주었다.
29 마리아는 이 말을 듣고 급히 일어나 예수님에게로 갔다.
30 예수님은 아직 마을에 들어오시지 않고 마르다가 마중 나갔던 곳에 그대로 계셨다.
31 집에서 마리아를 위로하던 유대인들은 마리아가 급히 일어나 나가는 것을 보고 울려고 무덤으로 가는 줄 알고 뒤따라 나갔다.
32 마리아는 예수님이 계신 곳에 이르러 예수님을 뵙고 그 앞에 엎드려 “주님이 여기 계셨더라면 제 오빠가 죽지 않았을 거예요” 하고 말하였다.
33 예수님은 마리아가 울고 또 그녀와 함께 온 유대인들까지 우는 것을 보시고 몹시 안타까워하시며
34 “그를 어디 두었느냐?” 하고 물으셨다. 그들이 “주님, 와서 보십시오” 하자
35 예수님은 눈물을 흘리셨다.
36 그때 유대인들은 “저것 보시오. 나사로를 무척이나 사랑했던 모양이오” 하였고
37 그들 중 어떤 사람은 “소경의 눈을 뜨게 한 그가 이 사람은 죽지 않게 할 수 없었던가?” 하였다.
나사로를 살리심
38 예수님은 다시 탄식하시며 무덤으로 가셨다. 무덤은 동굴이었으며 입구는 돌로 막혀 있었다.
39 예수님이 “돌을 옮겨 놓아라” 하시자 죽은 사람의 누이 마르다가 “주님, 죽은 지가 4일이나 되었으니 냄새가 날 것입니다” 하였다.
40 그래서 예수님은 마르다에게 “네가 믿기만 하면 하나님의 영광을 보게 될 것이라고 내가 말하지 않았느냐?” 하고 말씀하셨다.
41 사람들이 돌을 옮겨 놓자 예수님은 하늘을 우러러보시고 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “아버지, 내 말을 들어주신 것을 감사합니다.
42 나는 아버지께서 항상 내 말을 들어주시는 것을 압니다. 그러나 나는 둘러선 이들이 아버지께서 나를 보내신 것을 믿게 하려고 이 말씀을 드립니다.”
43 예수님이 이 말씀을 하시고 “나사로야, 나오너라” 하고 크게 외치시자
44 죽었던 그가 손발이 베에 묶인 채 나왔다. 그의 얼굴은 수건으로 싸여 있었다. 예수님은 그들에게 “풀어서 다니게 하라” 하고 말씀하셨다.
45 마리아를 위로하러 왔다가 이 광경을 본 많은 유대인들이 예수님을 믿게 되었다.
46 그러나 그들 가운데 몇 사람은 바리새파 사람들에게 가서 예수님이 하신 일을 보고하였다.
47 그래서 대제사장들과 바리새파 사람들은 의회를 소집하고 이렇게 말하였다. “그 사람이 많은 기적을 행하고 있으니 어떻게 하면 좋겠소?
48 이대로 내버려 두면 모두 그를 믿을 것이고 그렇게 되면 로마 사람들이 와서 우리 성전을 파괴하고 우리 민족을 짓밟을 것이오.”
49 그러자 그들 중의 한 사람인 그 해의 대제사장 가야바가 이렇게 말하였다. “여러분은 그렇게도 모르시오?
50 한 사람이 백성을 위해 죽는 것이 민족 전체가 망하는 것보다 여러분에게 유익이 된다는 것을 생각지 못하시오?”
51 가야바는 이 말을 스스로 한 것이 아니라 그 해의 대제사장으로서 예수님이 유대 민족을 위해,
52 그리고 유대 민족뿐만 아니라 흩어진 하나님의 자녀들을 모아 하나 되게 하기 위해 죽으실 것을 예언한 것이었다.
53 그 날부터 그들은 예수님을 죽일 음모를 꾸미기 시작했다.
54 그래서 예수님은 유대인 가운데 더 이상 드러나게 다니지 않으시고 그 곳을 떠나 광야 가까이 있는 에브라임이라는 마을로 가셔서 제자들과 함께 거기에 머물러 계셨다.
55 유대인의 유월절이 다가오자 많은 사람들이 명절 전에 자기를 정결하게 하려고 미리 시골에서 예루살렘으로 올라갔다.
56 사람들은 예수님을 찾아다니다가 성전에 서서 “어떻게 생각하시오? 그분이 명절에 오시지 않을까요?” 하고 서로 물었다.
57 그러나 대제사장들과 바리새파 사람들은 예수님을 붙잡으려고 누구든지 예수님이 계신 곳을 알면 반드시 알려야 한다는 명령을 내렸다.

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.
