Old/New Testament

³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him. ³¹ So the Jews— the ones being with her in the house and consoling her—having seen that Mary stood up quickly and went out, followed her, having supposed that she was going to the tomb in order that she might weep there. ³² Then Mary— when she came where Jesus was, having seen Him— fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died”. ³³ Then Jesus— when He saw her weeping, and the Jews having come with her weeping— was deeply-moved^[a] in His spirit, and troubled^[b] Himself. ³⁴ And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see”. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ So the Jews were saying, “Look— how He was loving him!” ³⁷ And^[c] some of them said, “Was not this One— the One having opened the eyes of the blind one— able to cause that this one also should not die?”

Jesus Calls Lazarus Out of The Tomb. Many Believe In Him

³⁸ Then Jesus, again being deeply-moved in Himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon^[d] it. ³⁹ Jesus says, “Take away the stone”. Martha, the sister of the one having come-to-an-end^[e], says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks, for it is the fourth-day”. ⁴⁰ Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” ⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted His eyes upward, and said, “Father, I thank You that You heard Me. ⁴² Now I knew that You always hear Me. But I said this for the sake of the crowd having stood around— in order that they may believe that You sent Me forth”. ⁴³ And having said these things, He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come outside!” ⁴⁴ The one having died came out, having been bound as to the feet and the hands with grave-cloths. And his face had been bound-around with a face-cloth. Jesus says to them, “Unbind him, and allow him to go”. ⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews— the ones having come to Mary, and having seen the things which He did— believed in Him.

Some Told The Pharisees. Caiaphas Prophesies, Better For One To Die For The People

⁴⁶ But some^[f] of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus did. ⁴⁷ So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together a council^[g]. And they were saying, “What are we doing? Because this man is doing many signs! ⁴⁸ If we tolerate Him in this manner, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place^[h] and nation”. ⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being the high priest of that year, said to them, “You do not know anything— ⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is better for you that one Man die for the people, and the whole nation not perish”. ⁵¹ Now he did not say this from himself, but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation. ⁵² And not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God having been scattered [in the world]. ⁵³ Therefore from that day, they planned to kill Him.

Jesus Withdraws From The Public

⁵⁴ Therefore Jesus was no longer walking in public among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city being called Ephraim. And He stayed there with the disciples.

At The Passover, Everyone Was Looking For Jesus

⁵⁵ Now the Passover [Feast] of the Jews was near. And many went up to Jerusalem from the country^[i] before the Passover [Feast], in order that they might purify themselves. ⁵⁶ So they were seeking Jesus, and saying, standing with one another in the temple, “What seems right to you— that He will by no means come to the Feast?” ⁵⁷ And the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commands that if anyone came-to-know where He was, he should disclose it— so that they might seize Him.
