Chapter 11
1At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
(Hebrew unavailable)
2(Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)
(Hebrew unavailable)
3So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
4When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,
(Hebrew unavailable)
7and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
8“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
(Hebrew unavailable)
10But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
11After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
12His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
13They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
(Hebrew unavailable)
15and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
16Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
17When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,
(Hebrew unavailable)
19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
23“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
(Hebrew unavailable)
24Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
(Hebrew unavailable)
26And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
27“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
28After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
29And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
30Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
31When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
(Hebrew unavailable)
32When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
(Hebrew unavailable)
34“Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.
(Hebrew unavailable)
35Jesus wept.
(Hebrew unavailable)
36Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
(Hebrew unavailable)
37But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
38Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
(Hebrew unavailable)
39“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
40Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
41So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
42I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
43After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
(Hebrew unavailable)
44The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
(Hebrew unavailable)
45Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
(Hebrew unavailable)
47Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.
(Hebrew unavailable)
48If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
49But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
(Hebrew unavailable)
50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
51Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,
(Hebrew unavailable)
52and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
(Hebrew unavailable)
53So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.
(Hebrew unavailable)
54As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.
(Hebrew unavailable)
55Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.
(Hebrew unavailable)
56They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
57But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.
