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

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

2 I t was 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 to 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, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.

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, He is sick, he remained two days then 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 says to his 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 to him, Rabbi, now the Jews sought 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 any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees 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 any one walk in the night, he stumbles, 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 said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, 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 to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.

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

13 B ut Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.

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

14 J esus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.

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

15 A nd I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to 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, called Didymus, said to 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 J esus therefore arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.

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

18 N ow Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,

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

19 a nd many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might 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 then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary 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 to 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 b ut 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 says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.

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

24 M artha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in 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 to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall 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 every one who lives and believes 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 says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come 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 having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls 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 S he, when she heard, rises up quickly and comes to him.

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

30 N ow Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.

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

31 T he Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may 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, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to 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 J esus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in 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 put him? They say to 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 A nd some of them said, Could not this, who has opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that this also should not have died?

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 deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon 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 says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is 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 says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, 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 T hey took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard 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 b ut I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said, that they may believe that thou hast sent 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 having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

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

44 A nd the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to 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 saw what he had done, 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 to the Pharisees and told them what 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 does 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 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 to them, Ye know nothing

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

50 n or consider that it is profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish.

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

51 B ut this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to 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 should also gather together into one the children of God who were 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 F rom that day therefore they took counsel that they might kill him.

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

54 J esus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he sojourned 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 B ut the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might 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 Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? 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 one knew where he was, he should make it known, 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.
