Lazarus Dies
11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3 So the sisters sent word[a] to him, saying, “Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick.” 4 And when he[b] heard it,[c] Jesus said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, in order 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, then he remained in the place where[d] he was two days.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were seeking just now to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9 Jesus replied, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks around in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But if anyone walks around in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. 11 He said these things, and after this he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I can awaken him.” 12 So the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.” 13 (Now Jesus had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about real sleep.[e]) 14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and I am glad for your sake[f] that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 Then Thomas (the one who is called Didymus)[g] said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go also, so that we may die with him.”
Jesus the Resurrection and the Life
17 So when he[h] arrived, Jesus found he had already been four days in the tomb. 18 (Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.[i] 19 So many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary in order to console them concerning their[j] brother.) 20 Now Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house. 21 So Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 Even[k] now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant 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. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die forever.[l] Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”
Jesus Weeps
28 And when she[m] had said this, she went and called her sister Mary privately, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 So that one, when she heard it,[n] got up quickly and went to him. 30 (Now Jesus has not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha went to meet him.) 31 So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they[o] saw Mary—that she stood up quickly and went out—followed her, because they[p] thought that she was going to the tomb in order to weep there.
32 Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and[q] saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled within himself. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews were saying, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do something[r] so that this man also would not have died?”
Lazarus Is Raised
38 Then Jesus, deeply moved within himself again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, “Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his[s] eyes above and said, “Father, I give thanks to you that you hear me. 42 And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd standing around I said it,[t] so that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 And when he[u] had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The one who had died came out, his[v] feet and his[w] hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped with a facecloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
The Jewish Leaders Plot to Kill Jesus
45 Then many of the Jews who had come with Mary and saw the things which he did believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs! 48 If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place[x] and our[y] nation.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, “You do not know anything at all! 50 Nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation not perish.” 51 (Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.) 53 So from that day they resolved that they should kill him. 54 So Jesus was no longer walking openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the surrounding country before the Passover, so that they could purify themselves. 56 So they were looking for Jesus, and were speaking with one another while[z] standing in the temple courts,[aa] “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?” 57 (Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report it,[ab] in order that they could arrest him.)

Muerte de Lázaro
11 Había un hombre enfermo que se llamaba Lázaro, natural de Betania, el pueblo de María y de su hermana Marta. 2 Esta María, que era hermana de Lázaro, fue la que derramó perfume sobre los pies del Señor y los secó con sus cabellos. 3 Así pues, las dos hermanas mandaron a decir a Jesús:
—Señor, tu amigo querido está enfermo.
4 Jesús, al oírlo, dijo:
—Esta enfermedad no va a terminar en muerte, sino que ha de servir para mostrar la gloria de Dios, y también la gloria del Hijo de Dios.
5 Aunque Jesús quería mucho a Marta, a su hermana y a Lázaro, 6 cuando le dijeron que Lázaro estaba enfermo se quedó dos días más en el lugar donde se encontraba. 7 Después dijo a sus discípulos:
—Vamos otra vez a Judea.
8 Los discípulos le dijeron:
—Maestro, hace poco los judíos de esa región trataron de matarte a pedradas, ¿y otra vez quieres ir allá?
9 Jesús les dijo:
—¿No es cierto que el día tiene doce horas? Pues si uno anda de día, no tropieza, porque ve la luz que hay en este mundo; 10 pero si uno anda de noche, tropieza, porque le falta la luz.
11 Después añadió:
—Nuestro amigo Lázaro se ha dormido, pero voy a despertarlo.
12 Los discípulos le dijeron:
—Señor, si se ha dormido, es señal de que va a sanar.
13 Pero lo que Jesús les decía es que Lázaro había muerto, mientras que los discípulos pensaban que se había referido al sueño natural. 14 Entonces Jesús les dijo claramente:
—Lázaro ha muerto. 15 Y me alegro de no haber estado allí, porque así es mejor para ustedes, para que crean. Pero vamos a verlo.
16 Entonces Tomás, al que llamaban el Gemelo, dijo a los otros discípulos:
—Vamos también nosotros, para morir con él.
Jesús, la resurrección y la vida
17 Al llegar, Jesús se encontró con que ya hacía cuatro días que Lázaro había sido sepultado. 18 Betania se hallaba cerca de Jerusalén, a unos tres kilómetros; 19 y muchos de los judíos habían ido a visitar a Marta y a María, para consolarlas por la muerte de su hermano. 20 Cuando Marta supo que Jesús estaba llegando, salió a recibirlo; pero María se quedó en la casa. 21 Marta le dijo a Jesús:
—Señor, si hubieras estado aquí, mi hermano no habría muerto. 22 Pero yo sé que aun ahora Dios te dará todo lo que le pidas.
23 Jesús le contestó:
—Tu hermano volverá a vivir.
24 Marta le dijo:
—Sí, ya sé que volverá a vivir cuando los muertos resuciten, en el día último.
25 Jesús le dijo entonces:
—Yo soy la resurrección y la vida. El que cree en mí, aunque muera, vivirá; 26 y todo el que todavía está vivo y cree en mí, no morirá jamás. ¿Crees esto?
27 Ella le dijo:
—Sí, Señor, yo creo que tú eres el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, el que tenía que venir al mundo.
Jesús llora junto al sepulcro de Lázaro
28 Después de decir esto, Marta fue a llamar a su hermana María, y le dijo en secreto:
—El Maestro está aquí y te llama.
29 Tan pronto como lo oyó, María se levantó y fue a ver a Jesús. 30 Jesús no había entrado todavía en el pueblo; estaba en el lugar donde Marta se había encontrado con él. 31 Al ver que María se levantaba y salía rápidamente, los judíos que estaban con ella en la casa, consolándola, la siguieron pensando que iba al sepulcro a llorar.
32 Cuando María llegó a donde estaba Jesús, se puso de rodillas a sus pies, diciendo:
—Señor, si hubieras estado aquí, mi hermano no habría muerto.
33 Jesús, al ver llorar a María y a los judíos que habían llegado con ella, se conmovió profundamente y se estremeció, 34 y les preguntó:
—¿Dónde lo sepultaron?
Le dijeron:
—Ven a verlo, Señor.
35 Y Jesús lloró. 36 Los judíos dijeron entonces:
—¡Miren cuánto lo quería!
37 Pero algunos de ellos decían:
—Éste, que dio la vista al ciego, ¿no podría haber hecho algo para que Lázaro no muriera?
Resurrección de Lázaro
38 Jesús, otra vez muy conmovido, se acercó a la tumba. Era una cueva, cuya entrada estaba tapada con una piedra. 39 Jesús dijo:
—Quiten la piedra.
Marta, la hermana del muerto, le dijo:
—Señor, ya huele mal, porque hace cuatro días que murió.
40 Jesús le contestó:
—¿No te dije que, si crees, verás la gloria de Dios?
41 Quitaron la piedra, y Jesús, mirando al cielo, dijo:
—Padre, te doy gracias porque me has escuchado. 42 Yo sé que siempre me escuchas, pero lo digo por el bien de esta gente que está aquí, para que crean que tú me has enviado.
43 Después de decir esto, gritó:
—¡Lázaro, sal de ahí!
44 Y el que había estado muerto salió, con las manos y los pies atados con vendas y la cara envuelta en un lienzo. Jesús les dijo:
—Desátenlo y déjenlo ir.
Conspiración para arrestar a Jesús(A)
45 Por esto creyeron en Jesús muchos de los judíos que habían ido a acompañar a María y que vieron lo que él había hecho. 46 Pero algunos fueron a ver a los fariseos, y les contaron lo que había hecho Jesús. 47 Entonces los fariseos y los jefes de los sacerdotes reunieron a la Junta Suprema, y dijeron:
—¿Qué haremos? Este hombre está haciendo muchas señales milagrosas. 48 Si lo dejamos, todos van a creer en él, y las autoridades romanas vendrán y destruirán nuestro templo y nuestra nación.
49 Pero uno de ellos, llamado Caifás, que era el sumo sacerdote aquel año, les dijo:
—Ustedes no saben nada, 50 ni se dan cuenta de que es mejor para ustedes que muera un solo hombre por el pueblo, y no que toda la nación sea destruida.
51 Pero Caifás no dijo esto por su propia cuenta, sino que, como era sumo sacerdote aquel año, dijo proféticamente que Jesús iba a morir por la nación judía; 52 y no solamente por esta nación, sino también para reunir a todos los hijos de Dios que estaban dispersos. 53 Así que desde aquel día las autoridades judías tomaron la decisión de matar a Jesús.
54 Por eso Jesús ya no andaba públicamente entre los judíos, sino que salió de la región de Judea y se fue a un lugar cerca del desierto, a un pueblo llamado Efraín. Allí se quedó con sus discípulos.
55 Faltaba poco para la fiesta de la Pascua de los judíos, y mucha gente de los pueblos se dirigía a Jerusalén a celebrar los ritos de purificación antes de la Pascua. 56 Andaban buscando a Jesús, y se preguntaban unos a otros en el templo:
—¿Qué les parece? ¿Vendrá a la fiesta o no?
57 Los fariseos y los jefes de los sacerdotes habían dado orden de que, si alguien sabía dónde estaba Jesús, lo dijera, para poder arrestarlo.

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.

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.
