The Death of Lazarus
11 There was a man named Lazarus who was sick. He lived in the town of Bethany, where Mary and her sister Martha lived. 2 Mary is the woman who later put perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. Mary’s brother was Lazarus, the man who was now sick. 3 So Mary and Martha sent someone to tell Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
4 When Jesus heard this he said, “This sickness will not end in death. It is for the glory of God. This has happened to bring glory to the Son of God.” 5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 But when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days. 7 Then Jesus said to his followers, “Let us go back to Judea.”
8 The followers said, “But Teacher, the Jews there tried to kill you with stones. That was only a short time ago. Now you want to go back there?”
9 Jesus answered, “Are there not 12 hours in the day? If anyone walks in the daylight, he will not stumble because he can see by this world’s light. 10 But if anyone walks at night he stumbles because there is no light to help him see.”
11 After Jesus said this, he added, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. But I am going there to wake him.”
12 The followers said, “But Lord, if he can sleep, he will get well.”
13 Jesus meant that Lazarus was dead. But Jesus’ followers thought that he meant Lazarus was really sleeping. 14 So then Jesus said plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there so that you may believe. But let us go to him now.”
16 Then Thomas (the one called Didymus) said to the other followers, “Let us go, too. We will die with him.”
Jesus in Bethany
17 Jesus arrived in Bethany. There he learned that Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days. 18 Bethany was about two miles from Jerusalem. 19 Many Jews had come there to comfort Martha and Mary about their brother.
20 Martha heard that Jesus was coming, and she went out to meet him. But Mary stayed at home. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that even now God will give you anything you ask.”
23 Jesus said, “Your brother will rise and live again.”
24 Martha answered, “I know that he will rise and live again in the resurrection[a] on the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will have life even if he dies. 26 And he who lives and believes in me will never die. Martha, do you believe this?”
27 Martha answered, “Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God. You are the One who was coming to the world.”
Jesus Cries
28 After Martha said this, she went back to her sister Mary. She talked to Mary alone. Martha said, “The Teacher is here and he is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus. 30 Jesus had not yet come into the town. He was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews were with Mary in the house, comforting her. They saw Mary stand and leave quickly. They followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to cry there. 32 But Mary went to the place where Jesus was. When she saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Jesus saw that Mary was crying and that the Jews who came with her were crying, too. Jesus felt very sad in his heart and was deeply troubled. 34 He asked, “Where did you bury him?”
“Come and see, Lord,” they said.
35 Jesus cried.
36 So the Jews said, “See how much he loved him.”
37 But some of them said, “If Jesus healed the eyes of the blind man, why didn’t he keep Lazarus from dying?”
Jesus Raises Lazarus
38 Again Jesus felt very sad in his heart. He came to the tomb. The tomb was a cave with a large stone covering the entrance. 39 Jesus said, “Move the stone away.”
Martha said, “But, Lord, it has been four days since he died. There will be a bad smell.” Martha was the sister of the dead man.
40 Then Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 So they moved the stone away from the entrance. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you heard me. 42 I know that you always hear me. But I said these things because of the people here around me. I want them to believe that you sent me.” 43 After Jesus said this, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out. His hands and feet were wrapped with pieces of cloth, and he had a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take the cloth off of him and let him go.”
The Leaders Plan to Kill Jesus
45 There were many Jews who had come to visit Mary. They saw what Jesus did. And many of them believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees. They told the Pharisees what Jesus had done. 47 Then the leading priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Jewish council. They asked, “What should we do? This man is doing many miracles. 48 If we let him continue doing these things, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will come and take away our Temple and our nation.”
49 One of the men there was Caiaphas. He was the high priest that year. Caiaphas said, “You people know nothing! 50 It is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed. But you don’t realize this.”
51 Caiaphas did not think of this himself. He was high priest that year. So he was really prophesying that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation 52 and for God’s scattered children. This would bring them all together and make them one.
53 That day they started planning to kill Jesus. 54 So Jesus no longer traveled openly among the Jews. He left there and went to a place near the desert. He went to a town called Ephraim and stayed there with his followers.
55 It was almost time for the Jewish Passover Feast. Many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover. They went to do the special things to make themselves pure. 56 The people looked for Jesus. They stood in the Temple and were asking each other, “Is he coming to the Feast? What do you think?” 57 But the leading priests and the Pharisees had given orders about Jesus. They said that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he must tell them. Then they could arrest Jesus.

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.

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.
