John 11
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
11 Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
2 (And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
7 Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
8 The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:
10 But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
11 These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14 Then therefore 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: but let us go to him.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
18 (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
19 And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21 Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26 And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?
27 She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
28 And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.
30 For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.
31 The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.
32 When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,
34 And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
35 And Jesus wept.
36 The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.
37 But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.
39 Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.
40 Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
44 And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.
45 Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47 The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?
48 If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.
49 But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
50 Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.
52 And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.
53 From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.
54 Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his disciples.
55 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to purify themselves.
56 They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.

Muerte de Lázaro
11 Y estaba enfermo cierto hombre llamado Lázaro, de Betania(A), la aldea de María y de su hermana Marta(B). 2 María, cuyo hermano Lázaro estaba enfermo, fue la que ungió al Señor(C) con perfume y le secó los pies con sus cabellos(D). 3 Las hermanas entonces mandaron a decir a Jesús[a]: Señor(E), mira, el que tú amas(F) está enfermo. 4 Cuando Jesús lo oyó, dijo: Esta enfermedad no es para muerte, sino para la gloria de Dios(G), para que el Hijo de Dios sea glorificado por medio de ella. 5 Y Jesús amaba a Marta, a su hermana y a Lázaro(H). 6 Cuando oyó, pues, que Lázaro estaba enfermo, entonces se quedó dos días más en el lugar donde estaba. 7 Luego, después de esto, dijo* a sus discípulos: Vamos de nuevo a Judea(I). 8 Los discípulos le dijeron*: Rabí[b](J), hace poco que[c] los judíos procuraban apedrearte(K), ¿y vas otra vez allá? 9 Jesús respondió: ¿No hay doce horas en el día? Si alguno anda de día no tropieza, porque ve la luz de este mundo(L). 10 Pero si alguno anda de noche, tropieza, porque la luz no está en él. 11 Dijo esto, y después de esto añadió[d]: Nuestro amigo Lázaro(M) se ha dormido(N); pero voy a despertarlo. 12 Los discípulos entonces le dijeron: Señor, si se ha dormido, se recuperará[e]. 13 Pero Jesús había hablado de la muerte de Lázaro[f], mas ellos creyeron que hablaba literalmente del sueño[g](O). 14 Entonces Jesús, por eso, les dijo claramente: Lázaro ha muerto; 15 y por causa de vosotros me alegro de no haber estado allí, para que creáis; pero vamos a donde está él. 16 Tomás(P), llamado el Dídimo[h](Q), dijo entonces a sus condiscípulos: Vamos nosotros también para morir con Él.
17 Llegó, pues, Jesús y halló que ya hacía cuatro días(R) que estaba en el sepulcro. 18 Betania(S) estaba cerca de Jerusalén, como a tres kilómetros[i]; 19 y muchos de los judíos(T) habían venido a casa de Marta y María(U), para consolarlas(V) por la muerte de su hermano. 20 Entonces Marta, cuando oyó que Jesús venía, fue a su encuentro, pero María(W) se quedó sentada en casa. 21 Y[j] Marta dijo a Jesús: Señor(X), si hubieras estado aquí, mi hermano no habría muerto(Y). 22 Aun ahora, yo sé que todo lo que pidas a Dios, Dios te lo concederá(Z). 23 Jesús le dijo*: Tu hermano resucitará. 24 Marta le contestó*: Yo sé que resucitará en la resurrección(AA), en el día final. 25 Jesús le dijo: Yo soy la resurrección y la vida(AB); el que cree en mí, aunque muera, vivirá, 26 y todo el que vive y cree en mí, no morirá jamás(AC). ¿Crees esto? 27 Ella le dijo*: Sí, Señor; yo he creído que tú eres el Cristo[k], el Hijo de Dios(AD), el que viene[l] al mundo(AE). 28 Y habiendo dicho esto, se fue(AF) y llamó a su hermana María, diciéndole en secreto: El Maestro(AG) está aquí, y te llama. 29 Tan pronto como ella lo oyó, se levantó* rápidamente y fue hacia Él.
30 Pues Jesús aún no había entrado en la aldea, sino que todavía estaba en el lugar donde Marta le había encontrado(AH). 31 Entonces los judíos que estaban con ella en la casa consolándola(AI), cuando vieron que María se levantó de prisa y salió, la siguieron(AJ), suponiendo que iba al sepulcro a llorar allí. 32 Cuando María llegó adonde estaba Jesús, al verle, se arrojó entonces a sus pies, diciéndole: Señor(AK), si hubieras estado aquí, mi hermano no habría muerto(AL). 33 Y[m] cuando Jesús la vio llorando, y a los judíos(AM) que vinieron con ella llorando también, se conmovió profundamente(AN) en el espíritu, y se entristeció[n](AO), 34 y dijo: ¿Dónde lo pusisteis? Le dijeron*: Señor, ven y ve. 35 Jesús lloró(AP). 36 Por eso los judíos(AQ) decían: Mirad, cómo lo amaba(AR). 37 Pero algunos de ellos dijeron: ¿No podía este, que abrió los ojos del ciego(AS), haber evitado también que Lázaro muriera[o]?
Resurrección de Lázaro
38 Entonces Jesús, de nuevo profundamente conmovido en su interior, fue* al sepulcro. Era una cueva, y tenía una piedra puesta sobre ella(AT). 39 Jesús dijo*: Quitad la piedra. Marta, hermana del que había muerto, le dijo*: Señor, ya hiede, porque hace cuatro días(AU) que murió. 40 Jesús le dijo*: ¿No te dije que si crees, verás la gloria de Dios(AV)? 41 Entonces quitaron la piedra(AW). Jesús alzó los ojos a lo alto(AX), y dijo: Padre, te doy gracias(AY) porque me has oído. 42 Yo sabía que siempre me oyes; pero lo dije por causa de la multitud(AZ) que me rodea, para que crean que tú me has enviado(BA). 43 Habiendo dicho esto, gritó con fuerte voz: ¡Lázaro, ven fuera! 44 Y el que había muerto salió, los pies y las manos atados(BB) con vendas, y el rostro envuelto en un sudario(BC). Jesús les dijo*: Desatadlo, y dejadlo ir.
Complot para matar a Jesús
45 Por esto muchos de los judíos que habían venido a ver a María(BD), y vieron lo que Jesús había hecho, creyeron en Él(BE). 46 Pero algunos de ellos fueron a los fariseos(BF) y les contaron lo que Jesús había hecho.
47 Entonces los principales sacerdotes y los fariseos(BG) convocaron(BH) un concilio(BI), y decían: ¿Qué hacemos? Porque este hombre hace muchas señales[p](BJ). 48 Si le dejamos seguir así, todos van a creer en Él, y los romanos vendrán y nos quitarán nuestro lugar[q](BK) y nuestra[r] nación. 49 Pero uno de ellos, Caifás, que era sumo sacerdote(BL) ese año(BM), les dijo: Vosotros no sabéis nada, 50 ni tenéis en cuenta que os es más conveniente que un hombre muera por el pueblo(BN), y no que toda la nación perezca. 51 Ahora bien, no dijo esto de su propia iniciativa[s], sino que siendo el sumo sacerdote ese año(BO), profetizó que Jesús iba a morir por la nación; 52 y no solo por la nación, sino también para reunir en uno a los hijos de Dios que están esparcidos(BP). 53 Así que, desde ese día planearon entre sí para matarle(BQ).
54 Por eso Jesús ya no andaba públicamente entre los judíos(BR), sino que se fue de allí a la región cerca del desierto, a una ciudad llamada Efraín(BS); y se quedó allí con los discípulos. 55 Y estaba cerca la Pascua de los judíos(BT), y muchos de la región subieron a Jerusalén antes de la Pascua para purificarse(BU). 56 Entonces buscaban a Jesús, y estando ellos en el templo, se decían unos a otros: ¿Qué os parece? ¿Que no vendrá a la fiesta(BV)? 57 Y los principales sacerdotes y los fariseos(BW) habían dado órdenes de que si alguien sabía dónde estaba Jesús, diera aviso para que le prendieran.

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.
