JOHN ยท Chapter 11
11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town
of Mary and her sister Martha.
11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped
his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he
whom you love is sick.
11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death,
but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days
still in the same place where he was.
11:7 Then after that says he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea
again.
11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to
stone you; and go you thither again?
11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any
man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this
world.
11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is
no light in him.
11:11 These things said he: and after that he says unto them, Our friend
Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
11:13 Nevertheless Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that
he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent
all of you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples,
Let us also go, that we may die with him.
11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave
four days already.
11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother.
11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went
and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother
had not died.
11:22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever you will ask of God, God
will give it you.
11:23 Jesus says unto her, Your brother shall rise again.
11:24 Martha says unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
11:26 And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe
you this?
11:27 She says unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ,
the Son of God, which should come into the world.
11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her
sister secretly, saying, The Master has come, and calls for you.
11:29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place
where Martha met him.
11:31 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 goes unto the grave to weep there.
11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell
down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother
had not died.
11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping
which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
11:34 And said, Where have all of you laid him? They said unto him,
Lord, come and see.
11:35 Jesus wept.
11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes
of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave.
It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
11:39 Jesus said, Take all of you away the stone. Martha, the sister
of him that was dead, says unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for
he has been dead four days.
11:40 Jesus says unto her, Said I not unto you, that, if you would
believe, you should see the glory of God?
11:41 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 you that
you have heard me.
11:42 And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people
which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth.
11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave
clothes: and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus says unto them,
Loose him, and let him go.
11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things
which Jesus did, believed on him.
11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them
what things Jesus had done.
11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council,
and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the
Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same
year, said unto them, All of you know nothing at all,
11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should
die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
11:51 And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that
year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather
together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together in order
to put him to death.
11:54 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.
11:55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of
the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
11:56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they
stood in the temple, What think all of you, that he will not come to the
feast?
11:57 Now both the chief 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.
