John 11
57 But the chief priests and the
Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where Jesus was should
report it so that they might arrest Him.
138
53
So from that day on they plotted to take His life.
54
Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea.
Instead He withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called
Ephraim, where He stayed with His disciples.
55
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country
to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover.
147
44
The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a
cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let
him go.”
45
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus
did, believed in Him.
46
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
147
35
Jesus wept.
36
Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
37
But some of them said, “Could not He who opened the eyes of the blind man have
kept this man from dying?”
147
26
and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of GOD,
who is to come into the world.”
28
After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The
Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”
147
17
On His arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four
days.
18
Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19
and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their
brother.
147
8
“But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone You,
and yet You are going back?”
9
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in
the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.
10
It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
147
50
You do not realize that it is better for you that one Man die for the people
than that the whole nation perish.”
51
He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that
Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,
52
and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of GOD, to
bring them together and make them one.
147
41
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank
You that You have heard Me.
42
I knew that you always hear Me, but I said this for the benefit of the people
standing here, that they may believe that You sent Me.”
43
When He had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
147
32
When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet
and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also
weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34
“Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
147
23
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24
Martha answered, “I know he will rise
again in the Resurrection at the last day.”
25
Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection
and the Life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though
they die;
147
14
So then He told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15
and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let
us go to him.”
16
Then Thomas (also known as Didymus ) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us
also go, that we may die with Him.”
147
5
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6
So when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was two more days,
7
and then He said to His disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
147
56
They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked
one another, “What do you think? Isn’t He coming to the festival at all?”
258
47
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this Man performing many
signs.
48
If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the
Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”
49
Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You
know nothing at all!
147
38
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone
laid across the entrance.
39
“Take away the stone,” He said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the
dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
40
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the Glory
of GOD?”
147
29
When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
30
Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where
Martha had met Him.
31
When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how
quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to
the tomb to mourn there.
147
20
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him, but Mary
stayed at home.
21
“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have
died.
22
But I know that even now GOD will give you whatever you ask.”
147
11
After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen
asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
12
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”
13
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but His disciples thought He meant
natural sleep.
147
1
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and
her sister Martha.
2
(This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured
perfume on the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair.)
3
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
4 When He heard this, Jesus said,
“This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for GOD’s glory so that GOD’s
Son may be glorified through it.”
