Old/New Testament

Jesus Hears That Lazarus Is Sick

11 Now there was a certain one being sick— Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha, her sister. ² And it was Mary, the one having anointed^[a] the Lord with perfume and having wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ So the sisters sent out a message to Him, saying, “Lord, look— the one whom You love is sick”. ⁴ And having heard, Jesus said “This sickness is not leading to death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified through it”.

Jesus Returns To Judea To Raise Lazarus From The Dead

⁵ Now Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ So when He heard that he was sick, at that time He remained for two days in which place He was— ⁷ then after this, says to the disciples, “Let us be going to Judea again”. ⁸ The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just-now seeking to stone You, and You are going there again?” ⁹ Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of the day? If one walks during the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if one walks during the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him”. ¹¹ He said these things, and after this He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen-asleep, but I am going in order that I may awaken him”. ¹² So the disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be restored”. ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken concerning his death, but those ones thought that He was speaking concerning the sleep of slumber^[b]. ¹⁴ So at-that-time Jesus said to them with plainness, “Lazarus died. ¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us be going to him”. ¹⁶ Then Thomas, the one being called Didymus^[c], said to his fellow-disciples, “Let us indeed be going, so that we may die with Him^[d]”.

Jesus Says, I Am The Resurrection And The Life. The One Believing In Me Will Live

¹⁷ So having come, Jesus found him already having four days in the tomb. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stades^[e] away. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary in order that they might console them concerning their brother. ²⁰ So Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met Him. But Mary was sitting in the house. ²¹ Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. ²² But even now I know that whatever You ask God, God will give You”. ²³ Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise-up”. ²⁴ Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise-up in the resurrection at the last day”. ²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one believing in Me— even though he dies, he will live. ²⁶ And everyone living and believing in Me will never die, ever. Do you believe this?” ²⁷ She says to Him, “Yes, Lord. I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world”. ²⁸ And having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, having said, “The Teacher is here and is calling you”. ²⁹ And that one, when she heard, arose quickly and was going to Him.
