1 N ow a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister --

2 A nd it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing --

3 T he sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

4 B ut when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

5 N ow Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

6 W hen therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.

when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,

7 T hen after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;'

8 T he disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

9 J esus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

10 B ut if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'

11 T hese things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'

12 T he disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.

therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'

13 N ow Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.

but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

14 T hen Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath died;

15 A nd I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

16 T homas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'

17 S o when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.

18 N ow Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;

And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

19 a nd many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

20 M artha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

21 M artha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

22 A nd even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

23 J esus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.'

24 M artha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

25 J esus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;

Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

26 a nd whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;

27 S he saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world.

believest thou this?' she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

28 A nd when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is her, and calleth thee.

And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

29 A nd she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.

she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

30 ( Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)

and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

31 T he Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.

the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'

32 M ary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'

33 W hen Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

34 a nd said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.

`Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, `Sir, come and see;'

35 J esus wept.

Jesus wept.

36 T he Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!'

37 B ut some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?

and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

38 J esus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

39 J esus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been dead four days.

Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

40 J esus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

41 S o they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.

They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

42 A nd I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

43 A nd when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;'

44 H e that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.'

45 M any therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.

Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

46 B ut some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

47 T he chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.

the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

48 I f we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'

49 B ut a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

50 n or do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

51 N ow this he said not of himself: but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

52 a nd not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

53 S o from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

54 J esus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples.

Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

55 N ow the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves.

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

56 T hey sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?

they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'

57 N ow the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.

and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew, so that they may seize him.
