Giăng 11
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Cái chết của La-xa-rơ
11 Ở làng Bê-tha-ni có một người tên La-xa-rơ lâm bệnh. Bê-tha-ni là nơi mà Ma-ri và chị là Ma-thê cư ngụ. 2 Ma-ri là người đã xức dầu thơm lên chân của Chúa, rồi lấy tóc mình mà lau. La-xa-rơ, người bị bệnh là anh của Ma-ri. 3 Hai chị em Ma-ri và Ma-thê nhờ người đến báo tin cho Chúa Giê-xu hay, “Thưa Chúa, người Chúa yêu đang bị bệnh.”
4 Khi được tin, Chúa Giê-xu bảo, “Bệnh nầy không đến nỗi chết đâu nhưng để làm vinh hiển Thượng Đế và Con Ngài cũng được rạng danh.” 5 Chúa Giê-xu yêu quí Ma-thê, em cô, và La-xa-rơ. 6 Khi nghe tin La-xa-rơ lâm bệnh thì Ngài ở nán thêm hai ngày nữa nơi Ngài đang ở. 7 Rồi Ngài bảo các môn đệ, “Chúng ta hãy đi trở về miền Giu-đia.”
8 Các môn đệ hỏi, “Thưa thầy, mới đây người Do-thái ở đó muốn ném đá giết thầy mà thầy còn định trở lại đó sao?”
9 Chúa Giê-xu đáp, “Mỗi ngày có mười hai giờ phải không? Ai đi ban ngày sẽ không vấp, vì thấy đường nhờ ánh sáng trần thế [a]. 10 Nhưng ai đi ban đêm sẽ vấp té vì không có ánh sáng soi đường.”
11 Nói xong Ngài tiếp, “La-xa-rơ, bạn chúng ta đang ngủ nhưng ta sẽ đến để đánh thức anh ấy.”
12 Các môn đệ thưa, “Thưa Chúa, nếu anh ấy ngủ chắc sẽ lành bệnh.”
13 Chúa Giê-xu muốn nói La-xa-rơ đã chết rồi nhưng họ lại tưởng Ngài nói đến giấc ngủ thường. 14 Vì thế Chúa Giê-xu phải nói rõ ra, “La-xa-rơ chết rồi. 15 Ta mừng cho các con, vì ta không có ở đó để các con tin. Nhưng bây giờ chúng ta hãy đi đến với anh ấy.”
16 Thô-ma, còn có tên là Đi-đim, nói với các môn đệ khác, “Thôi chúng ta hãy đi đến đó để cùng chết với thầy.”
Chúa Giê-xu ở Bê-tha-ni
17 Khi đến nơi, Chúa Giê-xu nghe La-xa-rơ đã chết và được chôn trong mộ bốn ngày rồi. 18 Vì Bê-tha-ni chỉ cách Giê-ru-sa-lem khoảng ba cây số [b], 19 nên có nhiều người Do-thái đến thăm và an ủi hai chị em Ma-ri và Ma-thê về cái chết của anh các cô.
20 Vừa hay tin Chúa Giê-xu đến, Ma-thê liền đi ra đón Ngài nhưng Ma-ri thì ngồi lại nhà. 21 Lúc gặp Chúa Giê-xu, Ma-thê thổn thức, “Lạy Chúa, nếu có Chúa đây thì anh con không chết, 22 nhưng bây giờ con biết Thượng Đế sẽ ban cho Ngài bất cứ điều gì Ngài xin.”
23 Chúa Giê-xu bảo, “Anh con sẽ sống lại.”
24 Ma-thê thưa, “Con vẫn biết là anh con sẽ sống lại trong ngày cuối cùng.”
25 Chúa Giê-xu bảo cô, “Ta là sự sống lại và sự sống. Ai tin ta thì sẽ sống mặc dù đã chết. 26 Còn ai sống và tin ta sẽ không chết nữa. Ma-thê, con tin như vậy không?”
27 Cô thưa, “Lạy Chúa, con tin. Con tin rằng Ngài là Đấng Cứu Thế, Con Thượng Đế, Đấng phải đến thế gian.”
Chúa Giê-xu khóc
28 Nói xong, Ma-thê trở về nhà nói riêng với Ma-ri, “Thầy đến đây rồi và hỏi thăm em.” 29 Ma-ri nghe thế vội vàng đứng dậy đi đón Chúa Giê-xu. 30 Lúc ấy Chúa Giê-xu chưa vào làng. Ngài vẫn còn đang đứng nơi Ma-thê gặp Ngài. 31 Các người Do-thái đang có mặt trong nhà để an ủi Ma-ri thấy cô vội vã đứng dậy đi, họ liền đi theo vì tưởng cô ra mộ khóc. 32 Nhưng Ma-ri đi đến nơi Chúa Giê-xu đang đứng. Vừa thấy Ngài, Ma-ri quì xuống nơi chân Ngài nức nở, “Lạy Chúa, nếu có Chúa đây thì anh con không chết.”
33 Chúa Giê-xu thấy Ma-ri khóc và những người đi theo cô cũng khóc, lòng Ngài bồi hồi và vô cùng xúc động. 34 Ngài hỏi, “Các anh em chôn anh ấy ở đâu?”
Họ thưa, “Lạy Chúa, xin hãy đến xem.”
35 Chúa Giê-xu khóc.
36 Người Do-thái bảo nhau, “Xem kìa, ông ta yêu anh ấy quá chừng!”
37 Nhưng một vài người trong đám họ nói, “Nếu ông ta đã mở mắt người mù được chẳng lẽ không thể khiến La-xa-rơ khỏi chết sao?”
Chúa Giê-xu khiến La-xa-rơ sống lại
38 Ngài lại mủi lòng nữa liền bước đến mộ.
Mộ là một cái hang có tảng đá lớn chận miệng lại. 39 Chúa Giê-xu bảo, “Lăn tảng đá đi!”
Ma-thê, em gái người chết thưa, “Lạy Chúa sẽ có mùi hôi xông ra vì anh ấy bị chôn bốn ngày rồi!”
40 Chúa Giê-xu đáp, “Ta đã chẳng nói với con là nếu con tin thì sẽ thấy sự vinh hiển của Thượng Đế sao?”
41 Họ liền lăn tảng đá đi. Chúa Giê-xu ngước mắt lên trời nói, “Lạy Cha, con tạ ơn Ngài vì Ngài nghe lời con. 42 Con biết rằng Cha nghe lời Con luôn luôn nhưng con nói những lời nầy là vì những người đứng đây, để họ tin rằng Cha sai con đến.” 43 Nói xong Ngài kêu lớn, “La-xa-rơ ơi, hãy đi ra!” 44 Người chết đi ra, tay chân còn quấn vải liệm, có miếng vải phủ qua mặt. Chúa Giê-xu bảo họ, “Hãy mở vải liệm để anh ấy đi.”
Các lãnh tụ Do-thái âm mưu giết Chúa Giê-xu(A)
45 Trong số những người Do-thái đến thăm Ma-ri và chứng kiến việc Chúa Giê-xu làm, thì nhiều người tin Ngài. 46 Nhưng một vài người trong đám họ đi báo với người Pha-ri-xi về việc Chúa Giê-xu đã làm. 47 Cho nên người Pha-ri-xi cùng các giới trưởng tế triệu tập Hội đồng Do-thái. Họ hỏi nhau, “Chúng ta phải làm sao đây? Người nầy làm quá nhiều phép lạ. 48 Nếu chúng ta không ngăn chận thì mọi người sẽ theo ông ta, rồi quân La-mã sẽ đến chiếm đền thờ và quốc gia chúng ta!”
49 Một người trong nhóm họ tên Cai-pha, đang giữ chức tế lễ tối cao năm đó, lên tiếng, “Mấy anh chẳng biết gì cả! 50 Các anh không biết rằng chẳng thà một người vì dân chịu chết còn hơn cả dân tộc bị tiêu diệt sao?”
51 Ông nói như thế không phải tự ý mình mà là vì đang giữ chức tế lễ tối cao năm đó, nên thật ra ông nói tiên tri về việc Chúa Giê-xu sẽ phải chết vì toàn dân. 52 Không những vì dân Do-thái thôi, mà còn để thu nhóm tất cả con cái của Thượng Đế đang bị tản lạc khắp thế giới.
53 Từ ngày đó trở đi họ lập mưu giết Ngài. 54 Vì thế Chúa Giê-xu không đi công khai giữa người Do-thái nữa. Ngài rời vùng ấy đến một địa điểm gần sa mạc, tới một thị trấn gọi là Ép-ra-im, cư ngụ với các môn đệ.
55 Đại lễ Vượt Qua của Do-thái gần đến, nên vô số người từ vùng quê đổ lên thành Giê-ru-sa-lem để thi hành nghi thức tẩy sạch, chuẩn bị cho ngày đại lễ. 56 Dân chúng đi tìm Chúa Giê-xu. Họ đứng trong đền thờ hỏi nhau, “Mấy anh nghĩ sao? Ông ta dám đến dự Đại lễ không?” 57 Các giới trưởng tế và người Pha-ri-xi đã ra lệnh rằng hễ ai biết Ngài ở đâu phải báo để họ bắt Ngài.

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 certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of (A)Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (B)It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, (C)he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, (D)“This illness does not lead to death. It is for (E)the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Now (F)Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus[a] was ill, (G)he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, (H)“Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to him, (I)“Rabbi, (J)the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, (K)“Are there not twelve hours in the day? (L)If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10 But (M)if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not (N)in him.” 11 After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus (O)has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” 12 The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died, 15 and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16 (P)So Thomas, called the Twin,[b] said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, (Q)that we may die with him.”
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb (R)four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles[c] off, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary (S)to console them concerning their brother. 20 (T)So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Martha said to (U)Jesus, “Lord, (V)if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, (W)God will give you.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 (X)Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in (Y)the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, (Z)“I am the resurrection and (AA)the life.[d] Whoever believes in me, (AB)though he die, (AC)yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me (AD)shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; (AE)I believe that (AF)you are the Christ, the Son of God, (AG)who is coming into the world.”
Jesus Weeps
28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, (AH)“The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews (AI)who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, (AJ)“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he (AK)was deeply moved[e] in his spirit and (AL)greatly troubled. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 (AM)Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See (AN)how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he (AO)who opened the eyes of the blind man (AP)also have kept this man from dying?”
Jesus Raises Lazarus
38 Then Jesus, (AQ)deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was (AR)a cave, and (AS)a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for (AT)he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, (AU)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see (AV)the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus (AW)lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 (AX)I knew that you always hear me, but I said this (AY)on account of the people standing around, (AZ)that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 (BA)The man who had died came out, (BB)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and (BC)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus
45 (BD)Many of the Jews therefore, (BE)who had come with Mary and (BF)had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees (BG)gathered (BH)the council and said, (BI)“What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and (BJ)the Romans will come and take away both our (BK)place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, (BL)Caiaphas, (BM)who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that (BN)it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but (BO)being high priest that year (BP)he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and (BQ)not for the nation only, but also (BR)to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they (BS)made plans to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore (BT)no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
55 Now (BU)the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and (BV)many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover (BW)to purify themselves. 56 (BX)They were looking for[f] Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?” 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

Възкресяване на Лазар
11 (A)Имаше един болен човек – Лазар от Витания, селото на Мария и сестра ѝ Марта. 2 (B)А Мария, чийто брат Лазар бе болен, беше тази, която помаза Господа с миро и изтри нозете Му с косата си. 3 Сестрите изпратиха да Му кажат: „Господи, ето този, когото обичаш, е болен.“ 4 (C)Като чу това, Иисус рече: „Тази болест не е за умиране, а за Божия слава, за да се прослави чрез нея Божият Син.“ 5 А Иисус обичаше Марта и сестра ѝ, както и Лазар. 6 Когато чу, че Лазар е болен, Той престоя още два дена на мястото, където се намираше. 7 След това рече на учениците Си: „Да отидем пак в Юдея.“ 8 (D)Учениците Му попитаха: „Учителю, тъкмо сега юдеите искаха с камъни да Те убият – пак ли там отиваш?“ 9 (E)Иисус отговори: „Нали денят има дванадесет часа? Който ходи денем, не се препъва, защото вижда светлината на този свят. 10 А който ходи нощем, препъва се, защото светлината не е у него.“
11 (F)Той каза това и после добави: „Лазар, нашият приятел, е заспал. Но Аз отивам да го събудя.“ 12 Учениците Му рекоха: „Господи, ако е заспал, ще оздравее.“ 13 Иисус беше казал за смъртта му, а те помислиха, че говори за обикновен сън. 14 Тогава Иисус им рече открито: „Лазар умря. 15 Но Аз се радвам за вас, че Ме нямаше там, за да повярвате. Нека обаче отидем при него.“ 16 Тогава Тома, което означава Близнак, каза на другите ученици: „Да отидем и ние да умрем с Него.“
17 Когато пристигна във Витания, Иисус разбра, че Лазар от четири дена вече е в гроба. 18 А Витания беше близо до Йерусалим, на около петнадесет стадия. 19 (G)Много юдеи бяха дошли при Марта и Мария да ги утешат за загубата на техния брат. 20 Като чу, че Иисус идва, Марта Го посрещна. А Мария седеше в къщи. 21 (H)Тогава Марта каза на Иисус: „Господи, ако Ти беше тук, брат ми нямаше да умре. 22 Но и сега зная, че каквото и да поискаш от Бога, Бог ще Ти го даде.“ 23 Иисус ѝ рече: „Брат ти ще възкръсне.“ 24 Марта Му каза: „Зная, че ще възкръсне при възкресението, в последния ден.“ 25 (I)Иисус ѝ рече: „Аз съм възкресението и животът. Който вярва в Мене, дори и да умре, ще оживее. 26 Всеки, който живее и вярва в Мене, няма да умре за вечни времена. Вярваш ли в това?“ 27 (J)Тя Му отговори: „Да, Господи, аз вярвам, че Ти си идващият на света Христос, Божият Син.“
28 Като каза това, тя отиде да повика скришом сестра си Мария с думите: „Учителят е тук и те вика.“ 29 Щом чу, тя стана бързо и тръгна към Него. 30 Иисус още не бе дошъл в селото, а стоеше на мястото, където Го бе посрещнала Марта. 31 Юдеите, които бяха с нея в къщи и я утешаваха, като видяха, че Мария стана бързо и излезе, тръгнаха след нея, защото мислеха, че отива на гроба да плаче там.
32 (K)А Мария дойде на мястото, където стоеше Иисус, видя Го, падна при нозете Му и рече: „Господи, ако Ти беше тук, брат ми нямаше да умре.“ 33 Когато Иисус видя как тя плаче и как дошлите с нея юдеи плачеха, обзет от душевен смут, развълнувано 34 рече: „Къде сте го положили?“ Казаха Му: „Господи, ела и виж.“ 35 Иисус се просълзи. 36 Тогава юдеите възкликнаха: „Гледай колко го е обичал.“ 37 (L)Някои пък от тях казаха: „Не можеше ли Този, Който отвори очите на слепеца, да направи така, че и Лазар да не умре?“
38 Все още дълбоко смутен, Иисус дойде при гроба. Това беше пещера с привален на нея камък. 39 Иисус каза: „Отместете камъка.“ Марта, сестрата на умрелия, Му каза: „Господи, вече мирише, защото от четири дена е мъртъв.“ 40 Иисус ѝ рече: „Не ти ли казах, че ако повярваш, ще видиш Божията слава?“ 41 (M)Тогава отместиха камъка от пещерата, където лежеше умрелият[a]. А Иисус вдигна очи нагоре и рече: „Отче, благодаря Ти, че Ме послуша. 42 (N)Аз знаех, че Ти винаги Ме слушаш. Но това казах заради народа, който стои наоколо, за да повярват, че Ти си Ме изпратил.“ 43 (O)След тези думи извика със силен глас: „Лазаре, излез вън!“ 44 И умрелият излезе с повити ръце и нозе в погребални повивки, а лицето му бе увито с кърпа. Иисус им каза: „Разповийте го и го оставете да ходи.“
Заговор за убийството на Иисус Христос
45 (P)Тогава много от юдеите, които бяха дошли при Мария и видяха това, което извърши Иисус, повярваха в Него. 46 А някои от тях отидоха при фарисеите и им разказаха какво извърши Иисус.
47 Затова първосвещениците и фарисеите се събраха на съвет и казаха: „Какво да правим? Този Човек върши много чудеса. 48 Ако Го оставим така, всички ще повярват в Него. Тогава ще дойдат римляните и ще разорят и храма, и народа.“ 49 (Q)Но един от тях, Каяфа, който през онази година беше първосвещеник, им рече: „Вие нищо не разбирате, 50 нито осъзнавате, че за нас е по-добре един човек да умре за народа, отколкото цял народ да загине.“ 51 (R)Това обаче той каза не от себе си, но като първосвещеник през онази година предсказа, че Иисус ще умре за народа; 52 и то – не само за народа, но и за да събере заедно разпръснатите Божии деца. 53 (S)И от този ден те се сговориха да Го убият.
54 Поради това Иисус вече не ходеше открито между юдеите, а оттам отиде в една местност, близо до пустинята, в един град, наричан Ефраим. Там Той остана с учениците Си.
55 Наближаваше юдейската Пасха и много хора от цялата страна отидоха в Йерусалим преди Пасха, за да се очистят. 56 (T)Тогава търсеха Иисус и както стояха в храма, разговаряха помежду си: „Как ви се струва? Дали Той няма да дойде на празника?“ 57 А първосвещениците и фарисеите бяха издали заповед – всеки, който разбере къде е Той, да съобщи, за да Го заловят.

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.
