John 11
New King James Version
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.

Jesus uppväcker Lasarus
11 (A) En man som hette Lasarus var sjuk. Han var från Betania[a], den by där Maria och hennes syster Marta bodde. 2 (B) Det var Maria som smorde Herren med väldoftande olja och torkade hans fötter med sitt hår, och nu var hennes bror Lasarus sjuk. 3 Systrarna skickade då bud till Jesus och lät säga: "Herre, den du har kär ligger sjuk." 4 (C) När Jesus hörde det, sade han: "Den sjukdomen slutar inte med döden. Den är till Guds ära, för att Guds Son ska bli förhärligad genom den." 5 Jesus älskade Marta och hennes syster och Lasarus.
6 När Jesus nu hörde att Lasarus var sjuk, stannade han ändå två dagar där han var. 7 Därefter sade han till sina lärjungar: "Låt oss gå tillbaka till Judeen." 8 (D) Lärjungarna sade till honom: "Rabbi, nyss försökte judarna stena dig, och nu går du dit igen!" 9 (E) Jesus svarade: "Har inte dagen tolv timmar? Den som vandrar om dagen snavar inte, för han ser denna världens ljus. 10 Men den som vandrar om natten, han snavar eftersom ljuset inte finns i honom."
11 (F) Efter att han sagt detta tillade han: "Vår vän Lasarus sover. Men jag går för att väcka honom." 12 Då sade lärjungarna till honom: "Herre, sover han så blir han frisk." 13 Jesus hade talat om hans död, men de trodde att han talade om vanlig sömn. 14 Då sade Jesus helt öppet till dem: "Lasarus är död. 15 Och för er skull, för att ni ska tro, är jag glad att jag inte var där. Men låt oss nu gå till honom." 16 (G) Tomas, som kallades Tvillingen[b], sade då till de andra lärjungarna: "Låt oss gå, vi också, och dö tillsammans med honom."
17 När Jesus kom fram, fann han att Lasarus redan hade legat fyra dagar i graven. 18 Betania låg nära Jerusalem, ungefär tre kilometer[c] därifrån. 19 Många judar hade kommit ut till Marta och Maria för att trösta dem i sorgen över deras bror. 20 När Marta fick höra att Jesus hade kommit, gick hon ut och mötte honom. Men Maria stannade kvar hemma.
21 Marta sade till Jesus: "Herre, om du hade varit här skulle min bror inte ha dött. 22 Men också nu vet jag att Gud kommer att ge dig vad du än ber honom om." 23 Jesus sade: "Din bror ska uppstå." 24 (H) Marta svarade: "Jag vet att han ska uppstå, vid uppståndelsen på den yttersta dagen." 25 Jesus sade: "Jag är uppståndelsen och livet. Den som tror på mig ska leva om han än dör, 26 (I) och den som lever och tror på mig ska aldrig någonsin dö. Tror du detta?" 27 (J) Hon svarade: "Ja, Herre. Jag tror att du är Messias, Guds Son, han som skulle komma till världen."
28 När hon hade sagt detta, gick hon och kallade på sin syster Maria och viskade: "Mästaren är här och kallar på dig." 29 Så snart hon hörde det, reste hon sig och gick ut till honom. 30 Jesus hade inte gått in i byn än, utan var kvar på platsen där Marta hade mött honom. 31 Judarna som var hemma hos Maria och tröstade henne såg att hon reste sig hastigt och gick ut. Då följde de efter henne i tron att hon skulle gå till graven för att gråta där.
32 När Maria kom till platsen där Jesus var och fick se honom, föll hon ner vid hans fötter och sade till honom: "Herre, om du hade varit här skulle min bror inte ha dött." 33 När Jesus såg hur hon grät och hur judarna som följt med henne grät, blev han djupt rörd och skakad i sin ande 34 och frågade: "Var har ni lagt honom?" De svarade: "Herre, kom och se." 35 (K) Jesus grät. 36 Då sade judarna: "Se hur han älskade honom!" 37 (L) Men några av dem sade: "Kunde inte han som öppnade ögonen på den blinde ha gjort så att Lasarus inte dog?"
38 Jesus blev åter djupt rörd i sitt inre och gick fram till graven. Det var en klippgrav med en sten för öppningen. 39 Jesus sade: "Ta bort stenen!" Den dödes syster Marta sade till honom: "Herre, han luktar redan. Det är fjärde dagen." 40 Jesus sade till henne: "Har jag inte sagt dig att om du tror ska du få se Guds härlighet?" 41 Då tog de bort stenen, och Jesus lyfte blicken mot himlen och sade: "Far, jag prisar dig för att du hör mig. 42 Jag vet att du alltid hör mig, men jag säger det för folket som står här, för att de ska tro att du har sänt mig." 43 (M) När han hade sagt detta, ropade han med hög röst: "Lasarus, kom ut!" 44 Då kom den döde ut, med fötter och händer inlindade i bindlar och med ansiktet täckt av en duk. Jesus sade till dem: "Gör honom fri och låt honom gå."
45 (N) Många judar som hade kommit till Maria och sett vad Jesus gjorde kom till tro på honom. 46 Men några av dem gick till fariseerna och berättade för dem vad Jesus hade gjort.
47 Översteprästerna och fariseerna kallade då samman Stora rådet och sade: "Vad gör vi? Den här mannen gör många tecken. 48 Låter vi honom hålla på så här kommer alla att tro på honom, och sedan kommer romarna och tar ifrån oss både templet och folket." 49 En av dem, Kaifas som var överstepräst det året, sade till dem: "Ni förstår ingenting. 50 (O) Inser ni inte att det är bättre för er att en man dör för folket än att hela folket går under?"
51 Detta sade han inte av sig själv, utan som överstepräst det året profeterade han att Jesus skulle dö för folket, 52 (P) och inte bara för folket utan också för att samla och förena Guds skingrade barn. 53 (Q) Från den dagen bestämde de sig för att döda honom. 54 Jesus rörde sig därför inte längre öppet bland judarna utan drog sig undan därifrån till landsbygden nära öknen, till en stad som heter Efraim[d]. Där stannade han tillsammans med sina lärjungar.
55 (R) Judarnas påsk närmade sig, och många gick från landsbygden upp till Jerusalem före påsken för att rena sig[e]. 56 De sökte efter Jesus och sade till varandra där de stod på tempelplatsen: "Vad tror ni? Kommer han inte alls till högtiden?" 57 Men översteprästerna och fariseerna hade gett order om att den som visste var han fanns skulle tala om det så att de kunde gripa honom.

Juan 11
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
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.
