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 thou lovest 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 saith 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 thee; and goest thou thither again?
11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If
any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the
light of this world.
11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because
there is no light in him.
11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them,
Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; 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 Howbeit Jesus spake 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 ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
fellowdisciples, 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 thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died.
11:22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
God will give [it] thee.
11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
11:24 Martha saith 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 believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art 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 is come, and
calleth for thee.
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 goeth 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 thou hadst 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 ye 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 cometh to the
grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of
him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he
stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.
11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe, thou shouldest 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 thee that thou hast heard me.
11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the
people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that
thou hast 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
graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus
saith 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 doeth 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, Ye 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 spake 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 for 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 spake among themselves, as
they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come
