11John 11

1Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and of Martha her sister.Select John 11:1

2(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)Select John 11:2

3His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.Select John 11:3

4And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.Select John 11:4

5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister Mary and Lazarus.Select John 11:5

6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.Select John 11:6

7Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.Select John 11:7

8The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee. And goest thou thither again?Select John 11:8

9Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:Select John 11:9

10But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.Select John 11:10

11These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth: but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.Select John 11:11

12His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.Select John 11:12

13But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.Select John 11:13

14Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.Select John 11:14

15And I am glad, for your sakes; that I was not there, that you may believe. But, let us go to him.Select John 11:15

16Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.Select John 11:16

17Jesus therefore came: and found that he had been four days already in the grave.Select John 11:17

18(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)Select John 11:18

19And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.Select John 11:19

20Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.Select John 11:20

21Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.Select John 11:21

22But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.Select John 11:22

23Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.Select John 11:23

24Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.Select John 11:24

25Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:Select John 11:25

26And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?Select John 11:26

27She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.Select John 11:27

28And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come and calleth for thee.Select John 11:28

29She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him.Select John 11:29

30For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.Select John 11:30

31The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.Select John 11:31

32When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet and saith to him. Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.Select John 11:32

33Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself,Select John 11:33

34And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.Select John 11:34

35And Jesus wept.Select John 11:35

36The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.Select John 11:36

37But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind have caused that this man should not die?Select John 11:37

38Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.Select John 11:38

39Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.Select John 11:39

40Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?Select John 11:40

41They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.Select John 11:41

42And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.Select John 11:42

43When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.Select John 11:43

44And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go.Select John 11:44

45Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.Select John 11:45

46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.Select John 11:46

47The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?Select John 11:47

48If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.Select John 11:48

49But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.Select John 11:49

50Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not.Select John 11:50

51And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.Select John 11:51

52And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God that were dispersed.Select John 11:52

53From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.Select John 11:53

54Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews: but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem. And there he abode with his disciples.Select John 11:54

55And the pasch of the Jews was at hand: and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch, to purify themselves.Select John 11:55

56They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment that, if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.Select John 11:56
