John 11
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Death of Lazarus
11 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus,[a] “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5 Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, 6 after having heard that Lazarus[b] was ill, he stayed two days longer 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, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world. 10 But those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them.” 11 After saying this, he told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to awaken him.” 12 The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right.” 13 Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was referring merely to sleep. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15 For your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 Thomas, who was called the Twin,[c] said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
Jesus the Resurrection and the Life
17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus[d] had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles[e] away, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.” 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 on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.[f] Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah,[g] the Son of God, the one coming into the world.”
Jesus Weeps
28 When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34 He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus began to weep. 36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”
Jesus Raises Lazarus to Life
38 Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus
45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what he had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council, and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place[h] and our nation.” 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not understand that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed.” 51 He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the dispersed children of God. 53 So from that day on they planned to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore no longer walked about openly among the Jews, but went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness; and he remained there with the disciples.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves. 56 They were looking for Jesus and were asking one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? Surely he will not come to the festival, will he?” 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus[i] was should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
11 Isang tao nga na may-sakit, si Lazaro na taga Betania, na nayon ni Maria at ni Marta na kaniyang kapatid.
2 At ito'y yaong si Maria na nagpahid sa Panginoon ng unguento, at kinuskos ang kaniyang mga paa ng kaniyang mga buhok, na ang kaniyang kapatid na si Lazaro ay may-sakit.
3 Nagpasugo nga sa kaniya ang mga kapatid na babae, na nagsasabi, Panginoon, narito, siya na iyong iniibig ay may-sakit.
4 Nguni't pagkarinig ni Jesus nito, ay sinabi niya, Ang sakit na ito'y hindi sa ikamamatay, kundi sa ikaluluwalhati ng Dios, upang ang Anak ng Dios ay luwalhatiin sa pamamagitan niyaon.
5 Iniibig nga ni Jesus si Marta, at ang kaniyang kapatid na babae, at si Lazaro.
6 Nang mabalitaan nga niya na siya'y may-sakit, siya'y tumahang dalawang araw nang panahong yaon sa dating kinaroroonan niya.
7 Saka pagkatapos nito ay sinabi niya sa mga alagad, Tayo nang muli sa Judea.
8 Sinabi sa kaniya ng mga alagad, Rabi, ngayo'y pinagsisikapang batuhin ka ng mga Judio; at muli kang paroroon doon?
9 Sumagot si Jesus, Hindi baga ang araw ay may labingdalawang oras? Kung ang isang tao'y lumalakad samantalang araw, ay hindi siya natitisod, sapagka't nakikita niya ang ilaw ng sanglibutang ito.
10 Nguni't ang isang taong lumalakad samantalang gabi, ay natitisod siya, sapagka't walang ilaw sa kaniya.
11 Ang mga bagay na ito'y sinalita niya: at pagkatapos nito'y sinabi niya sa kanila, Si Lazaro na ating kaibigan ay natutulog; nguni't ako'y paroroon, upang gisingin ko siya sa pagkakatulog.
12 Sinabi nga ng mga alagad sa kaniya, Panginoon, kung siya'y natutulog, ay siya'y gagaling.
13 Sinalita nga ni Jesus ang tungkol sa kaniyang pagkamatay: datapuwa't sinapantaha nila na ang sinalita ay ang karaniwang pagtulog.
14 Nang magkagayon nga ay sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus ng malinaw, Si Lazaro ay patay.
15 At ikinagagalak ko dahil sa inyo rin na ako'y wala roon, upang kayo'y magsipaniwala; gayon ma'y tayo na sa kaniya.
16 Si Tomas nga, na tinatawag na Didimo, ay nagsabi sa mga kapuwa niya alagad, Tayo'y magsiparoon din naman, upang tayo'y mangamatay na kasama niya.
17 Kaya't nang dumating si Jesus, ay naratnan niyang apat na araw na siya'y nalilibing.
18 Ang Betania nga'y malapit sa Jerusalem, na may layong labing-limang estadio;
19 At marami sa mga Judio ang nangakaparoon na kay Marta at kay Maria, upang sila'y aliwin tungkol sa kanilang kapatid.
20 Si Marta nga, nang marinig niyang si Jesus ay dumarating, ay yumaon at sumalubong sa kaniya: nguni't si Maria ay nanatiling nakaupo sa bahay.
21 Sinabi nga ni Marta kay Jesus, Panginoon, kung ikaw sana'y narito, disin ang kapatid ko ay hindi namatay.
22 At ngayon man nama'y nalalaman ko na, anomang hingin mo sa Dios, ay ipagkakaloob sa iyo ng Dios.
23 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Magbabangon uli ang iyong kapatid.
24 Si Marta ay nagsabi sa kaniya, Nalalaman ko na siya'y magbabangon uli sa pagkabuhay na maguli sa huling araw.
25 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Ako ang pagkabuhay na maguli, at ang kabuhayan: ang sumasampalataya sa akin, bagama't siya'y mamatay, gayon ma'y mabubuhay siya;
26 At ang sinomang nabubuhay at sumasampalataya sa akin ay hindi mamamatay magpakailan man. Sinasampalatayanan mo baga ito?
27 Sinabi niya sa kaniya, Oo, Panginoon: sumasampalataya ako na ikaw ang Cristo ang Anak ng Dios, sa makatuwid baga'y ang naparirito sa sanglibutan.
28 At nang masabi na niya ito, ay yumaon siya, at tinawag ng lihim si Maria na kapatid niya, na sinasabi, Ang Guro ay narito, at tinatawag ka.
29 At siya, nang marinig niya ito, ay nagtindig na madali, at pumaroon sa kaniya.
30 (Hindi pa nga dumarating si Jesus sa nayon, kundi naroroon pa sa dakong kinasalubungan sa kaniya ni Marta.)
31 Ang mga Judio nga na kaniyang mga kasama sa bahay, at nangagsisialiw sa kaniya, pagkakita nilang si Maria, na siya'y nagtindig na madali at lumabas, ay nagsisunod sa kaniya, na inaakalang paroroon siya sa libingan upang doo'y tumangis.
32 Si Maria nga, pagdating niya sa kinaroroonan ni Jesus, at pagkakita sa kaniya, ay nagpatirapa sa kaniyang paanan, na sinabi sa kaniya, Panginoon, kung ikaw sana'y narito, disin ay hindi namatay ang aking kapatid.
33 Nang makita nga ni Jesus na siya'y tumatangis, at gayon din ang mga Judiong nagsisitangis na kasama niyang dumating, ay nalagim siya sa espiritu, at nagulumihanan,
34 At sinabi, Saan ninyo siya inilagay? Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Panginoon, halika at tingnan mo.
35 Tumangis si Jesus.
36 Sinabi nga ng mga Judio, Tingnan ninyo kung gaano ang pagibig niya sa kaniya!
37 Datapuwa't ang ilan sa kanila'y nagsipagsabi, Hindi baga magagawa ng taong ito, na nagpadilat ng mga mata ng bulag, na ang taong ito naman ay huwag mamatay?
38 Si Jesus nga sa muling pagkalagim sa kaniyang sarili ay naparoon sa libingan. Yaon nga'y isang yungib, at mayroong isang batong nakatakip sa ibabaw noon.
39 Sinabi ni Jesus, Alisin ninyo ang bato. Si Marta, na kapatid niyaong namatay, ay nagsabi sa kaniya, Panginoon, sa ngayon ay nabubulok na ang bangkay sapagka't may apat na araw nang siya'y namamatay.
40 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Di baga sinabi ko sa iyo, na, kung ikaw ay sasampalataya, ay makikita mo ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios?
41 Kaya't inalis nila ang bato. At itiningin ni Jesus sa itaas ang kaniyang mga mata, at sinabi, Ama, nagpapasalamat ako sa iyo, na ako'y iyong dininig.
42 At nalalaman ko na ako'y lagi mong dinirinig: nguni't ito'y sinabi ko dahil sa karamihang nasa palibot, upang sila'y magsisampalataya na ikaw ang nagsugo sa akin.
43 At nang masabi niya ang gayon, ay sumigaw siya ng malakas na tinig, Lazaro, lumabas ka.
44 Siya na patay ay lumabas, na natatalian ang mga kamay at mga paa ng mga kayong panglibing; at ang kaniyang mukha ay nababalot ng isang panyo. Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Siya'y inyong kalagan, at bayaan ninyo siyang yumaon.
45 Marami nga sa mga Judio ang nagsiparoon kay Maria at nangakakita ng ginawa niya, ay nagsisampalataya sa kaniya.
46 Datapuwa't ang ilan sa kanila ay nagsiparoon sa mga Fariseo, at sinaysay sa kanila ang mga bagay na ginawa ni Jesus.
47 Ang mga pangulong saserdote nga at ang mga Fariseo ay nangagpulong, at nagsipagsabi, Ano ang ginagawa natin? sapagka't ang taong ito'y gumagawa ng maraming tanda.
48 Kung siya'y ating pabayaang gayon, ang lahat ng mga tao ay magsisisampalataya sa kaniya: at magsisiparito ang mga Romano at pagkukunin ang ating kinaroroonan at gayon din naman ang ating bansa.
49 Nguni't ang isa sa kanila na si Caifas, na dakilang saserdote nang taong yaon, ay nagsabi sa kanila, Kayo'y walang nalalamang anoman.
50 Ni inyong niwawari na sa inyo'y nararapat na ang isang tao ay mamatay dahil sa bayan, at hindi ang buong bansa ay mapahamak.
51 Ito nga'y sinabi niya na hindi sa kaniyang sarili: kundi palibhasa ay dakilang saserdote nang taong yaon, ay hinulaan niya na si Jesus ay dapat mamatay dahil sa bansa;
52 At hindi dahil sa bansa lamang, kundi upang matipon din naman niya sa isa ang mga anak ng Dios na nagsisipangalat.
53 Kaya't mula nang araw na yaon ay pinagsanggunianan nilang ipapatay siya.
54 Si Jesus ay hindi na naglalakad ng hayag sa gitna ng mga Judio, kundi naparoon doon sa lupaing malapit sa ilang, sa isang bayan na tinatawag na Efraim; at siya'y nanahanan doong kasama ng mga alagad.
55 Ang paskua nga ng mga Judio ay malapit na: at maraming nagsiahon sa Jerusalem mula sa lupaing yaon bago magpaskua, upang magsipaglinis.
56 Pinaghahanap nga nila si Jesus, at pinaguusapan ng isa't isa, samantalang nangakatayo sila sa templo, Anong akala ninyo? Na hindi na kaya siya paririto sa pista?
57 Ang mga pangulong saserdote at ang mga Fariseo nga ay nangagutos, na, kung ang sinomang tao'y nakakaalam ng kung saan siya naroroon, ay dapat niyang ihayag, upang kanilang madakip siya.

New International Version
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.
