John 11
Common English Bible
Lazarus is ill
11 A certain man, Lazarus, was ill. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (2 This was the Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was ill.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, saying, “Lord, the one whom you love is ill.”
4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This illness isn’t fatal. It’s for the glory of God so that God’s Son can be glorified through it.” 5 Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed where he was. After two days, 7 he said to his disciples, “Let’s return to Judea again.”
8 The disciples replied, “Rabbi, the Jewish opposition wants to stone you, but you want to go back?”
9 Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours in the day? Whoever walks in the day doesn’t stumble because they see the light of the world. 10 But whoever walks in the night does stumble because the light isn’t in them.”
11 He continued, “Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I am going in order to wake him up.”
12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he’s sleeping, he will get well.” 13 They thought Jesus meant that Lazarus was in a deep sleep, but Jesus had spoken about Lazarus’ death.
14 Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died. 15 For your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there so that you can believe. Let’s go to him.”
16 Then Thomas (the one called Didymus) said to the other disciples, “Let us go too so that we may die with Jesus.”
Jesus with Martha and Mary
17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18 Bethany was a little less than two miles from Jerusalem. 19 Many Jews had come to comfort Martha and Mary after their brother’s death. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, while Mary remained in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. 22 Even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will give you.”
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha replied, “I know that he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though they die. 26 Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, the one who is coming into the world.”
28 After she said this, she went and spoke privately to her sister Mary, “The teacher is here and he’s calling for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus. 30 He hadn’t entered the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews who were comforting Mary in the house saw her get up quickly and leave, they followed her. They assumed she was going to mourn at the tomb.
32 When Mary arrived where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
33 When Jesus saw her crying and the Jews who had come with her crying also, he was deeply disturbed and troubled. 34 He asked, “Where have you laid him?”
They replied, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus began to cry. 36 The Jews said, “See how much he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “He healed the eyes of the man born blind. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
Jesus at Lazarus’ tomb
38 Jesus was deeply disturbed again when he came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone covered the entrance. 39 Jesus said, “Remove the stone.”
Martha, the sister of the dead man, said, “Lord, the smell will be awful! He’s been dead four days.”
40 Jesus replied, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you will see God’s glory?” 41 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked up and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. 42 I know you always hear me. I say this for the benefit of the crowd standing here so that they will believe that you sent me.” 43 Having said this, Jesus shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his feet bound and his hands tied, and his face covered with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
45 Therefore, many of the Jews who came with Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Caiaphas prophesies
47 Then the chief priests and Pharisees called together the council[a] and said, “What are we going to do? This man is doing many miraculous signs! 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our people.”
49 One of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, “You don’t know anything! 50 You don’t see that it is better for you that one man die for the people rather than the whole nation be destroyed.” 51 He didn’t say this on his own. As high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would soon die for the nation— 52 and not only for the nation. Jesus would also die so that God’s children scattered everywhere would be gathered together as one. 53 From that day on they plotted to kill him.
The Passover draws near
54 Therefore, Jesus was no longer active in public ministry among the Jewish leaders. Instead, he left Jerusalem and went to a place near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 It was almost time for the Jewish Passover, and many people went from the countryside up to Jerusalem to purify themselves through ritual washing before the Passover. 56 They were looking for Jesus. As they spoke to each other in the temple, they said, “What do you think? He won’t come to the festival, will he?” 57 The chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where he was should report it, so they could arrest him.

11 Now de there was eimi a certain tis man who was ill astheneō, Lazareth Lazaros of apo Bethany Bēthania, the ho village kōmē of Mary Maria and kai her autos sister adelphē Martha Martha. · ho 2 It was eimi · de this Mary Mariam who ho anointed aleiphō the ho Lord kyrios with ointment myron and kai wiped ekmassō · ho his autos feet pous with ho her autos hair thrix, whose hos · ho brother adelphos Lazarus Lazaros was ill astheneō. 3 So oun the ho sisters adelphē sent apostellō word to pros him autos, saying legō, “ Lord kyrios, the one hos you love phileō is ill astheneō.” 4 But de when Jesus Iēsous heard akouō · ho this, he said legō, “ This houtos · ho illness astheneia will not ou lead eimi to pros death thanatos, but alla is for hyper the ho glory doxa of ho God theos, that hina the ho Son hyios of ho God theos may be glorified doxazō through dia it autos.”

1599 Geneva Bible
11 1 Christ, to show that he is, 25 the life and the resurrection, 14 cometh to Lazarus being dead, 17, 34 and buried, 43 and raiseth him up. 47 As the Priests were consulting together, 49 Caiaphas 50 prophecieth that one must die for the people. 56, 57 They command to seek Christ out, and to take him.
1 And [a]a certain man was sick, named Lazarus of Bethany, the [b]town of Mary, and her sister Martha.
2 (And it was that (A)Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest, is sick.
4 When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto [c]death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 ¶ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 [d]And after he had heard that he was sick, yet abode he two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again.
8 [e]The disciples said unto him, Master, the Jews lately sought to (B)stone thee, and dost thou go thither again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not [f]twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11 These things spake he, and after, he said unto them, Our friend Lazarus [g]sleepeth: but I go to wake him up.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall be safe.
13 Howbeit, Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the natural sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may believe: but let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas (which is called Didymus) unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 ¶ Then came Jesus, and found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 (Now Bethany was near unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
19 [h]And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary to comfort them for their brother.
20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not been dead.
22 But now I know also, that whatsoever thou askest of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall [i]rise again.
24 Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again (C)in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: (D)he that believeth in me, though he were dead yet shall he live.
26 And whosoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die: Believest thou this?
27 She said unto him, Yea, Lord, I believe that thou art that Christ that Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 ¶ And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 And when she heard it, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 For Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave, to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not been dead.
33 [j]When Jesus therefore saw her weep, and the Jews also weep which came with her, he [k]groaned in the spirit, and was troubled in himself,
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 And Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, behold, how he loved him.
37 And some of them said, (E)Could not he which opened the eyes of the blind, have made also, that this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaned in himself, and came to the grave. And it was a cave, and a stone was laid upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said unto him, Lord, he stinketh already for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus said unto her, Said I not unto thee, that if thou didst believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee, because thou hast heard me.
42 I know that thou hearest me always, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may believe, that thou hast sent me.
43 As he had spoken these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hand and foot with bands, and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 ¶ Then many of the Jews, which came to Mary, and had seen the things, which Jesus did, believed in him.
46 [l]But some of them went their way to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the high Priests, and the Pharisees a [m]council, and said, What shall we do? For this man doeth many miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and [n]take away both our place, and the nation.
49 [o]Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the high Priest that same year, said unto them, Ye perceive nothing at all,
50 (F)Nor yet do you consider that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 [p]This spake he not of himself: but being high Priest that same year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation:
52 And not for that nation only, but that he should gather together in one the children of God, which [q]were scattered.
53 Then from that day forth they consulted together, to put him to death.
54 [r]Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 ¶ And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the Temple, What think ye, that he cometh not to the feast?
57 Now both the high Priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
