'Now2a certain man3was1ill,4Lazarus5of6Bethany,7the9village10of Mary11and12her16sister15Martha.13 It was1Mary3who anointed5the6Lord7with ointment8and9wiped10his13feet12with15her16hair,15whose17brother19Lazarus20was ill.21 So2the3sisters4sent1to5him,6saying,7“Lord,8he12whom10you love11is ill.”12 But2when1Jesus4heard1ithe said,5“This6illness8doesnot9lead to1011death.12It isfor14the15glory16of God,18so that19the21Son22of God24may be glorified20through25it.”26 Now2Jesus4loved1Martha6and7her10sister9and11Lazarus.13 So,2when1he heard3that4[Lazarus] was ill,5he stayed8two13days14longer6in9the place12where10he was.11 Then1after2this3he said4to the5disciples,6“Let us go7to8Judea10again.”11 The3disciples4said1to him,2“Rabbi,5the10Jews11were7just now6seeking7to stone9you,8and12are you going14there15again?”13 Jesus2answered,1“Are there6not3twelve4hours5in the7day?8If9anyone10walks11in12the13day,14he does16not15stumble,16because17he sees23the18light19of this22world.21 But2if1anyone3walks4in5the6night,7he stumbles,8because9the10light11is13not12in14him.”15 After4saying2these things,1he said6to them,7“Our11friend10Lazarus8has fallen asleep,12but13I go14to awaken1516him.”17 The3disciples4said1to him,5“Lord,6if7he has fallen asleep,8he will recover.”9 Now2Jesus4had spoken1of5his8death,7but10they9thought11that12he meant18taking rest15in sleep.17 Then1Jesus6told3them4plainly,7“Lazarus8has died,9 and1for3your4sake3I am glad2that7I was9not8there,10so that5you may believe.6But11let us go12to13him.”14 So2Thomas,3called5the4Twin,6said1to [his] fellow disciples,8“Let us9also10go,9that12we11may die13with14him.”15 Now2when1Jesus4came,1he found5that10[Lazarus]6had10already8been10in11the12tomb13four7days.9 Bethany4was1near5Jerusalem,7about8two miles1011off,9 and2many1of3the4Jews5had come6to7Martha9and10Mary11to console1213them14concerning15theirbrother.17 So2when4Martha3heard5that6Jesus7was coming,8she went and met9him,10but12Mary11remained seated16in13the14house.15 Martha4said1to5Jesus,7“Lord,8if9you had been10here,11my17brother16would13not12have died.14 But1even2now3I know4that5whatever67you ask8from God,10God14will give11you.”12 Jesus4said1to her,2“Your8brother7will rise again.”5 Martha4said1to him,2“I know5that6he will rise again7in8the9resurrection10on11the12last13day.”14 Jesus4said1to her,2“I5am6the7resurrection8and9the10life.11Whoever believes1213in14me,15though16he die,17yet16shall he live,18 and1everyone23who lives4and5believes6in7me8shall11never910121314die.11Doyou believe15this?”16 She said1to him,2“Yes,3Lord;4I5believe6that7you8are9the10Christ,11the12Son13of God,15who is coming20into17the18world.”19 When she had said3this,2she went4and5called6her10sister9Mary,7saying12in private,11“The13Teacher14is here15and16is calling17for you.”18 And2when3she1heard4it,she rose5quickly6and7went8to9him.10 Now2Jesus5had3not yet1come3into6the7village,8but9was10still11in12the13place14where15Martha19had met16him.17 When2the1Jews3who were5with6her7in8the9house,10consoling12her,13saw14Mary16rise19quickly18and20go out,21they followed22her,23supposing24that25she was going26to27the28tomb29to weep3031there.32 Now2when4Mary3came to5where6Jesus8was7andsaw9him,10she fell11at13his12feet,15saying16to him,17“Lord,18if19you had been20here,21my24brother27would23not22have died.”25 When2Jesus1saw4her5weeping,6and7the10Jews11who had come with9her10alsoweeping,12he was deeply moved13in [his] spirit15and16greatly troubled.17 And1he said,2“Where3have you laid4him?”5They said6to him,7“Lord,8come9and10see.”11 Jesus3wept.1 So2the3Jews4said,1“See5how6he loved7him!”8 But2some1of3them4said,5“Could7not6he8who opened10the11eyes12of the13blind man14also17have kept15this man18from dying?”1920 Then2Jesus,1deeply56moved4again,3came7to8the9tomb.10It was11a cave,13and14a stone15lay16against17it.18 Jesus3said,1“Take away4the5stone.6”Martha,13the9sister10of the11dead man,12said7to him,8“Lord,14by this time15there will be an odor,16for18he has been [dead]19four days.”17 Jesus4said1to her,2“Did I6not5tell6you7that8if9you believed10you would see11the12glory13of God?”15 So2they took away1the3stone.4And6Jesus7lifted8up11hiseyes10and12said,13“Father,14I thank15you16that17you have heard18me.19 I1knew3that4you7always5hear7me,6but8I said14this15on account of9the10people11standing around,13that15they may believe16that17you18sent20me.”19 When he had said3these things,2he cried out6with a loud5voice,4“Lazarus,7come8out.”9 The man2who had died3came out,1hishands9and7feet6bound4with linen strips,10and11his14face13wrapped16with a cloth.15Jesus20said17to them,18“Unbind21him,22and23let24him25go.”26 Many1of3the4Jews5therefore,2who had come7with8Mary10and11had seen12what13he did,14believed15in16him,17 but2some1of3them4went5to6the7Pharisees8and9told10them11what12Jesus14had done.13 So2the3chief priests4and5the6Pharisees7gathered1the council8and9said,10“What11are we to do?12For13this14man16performs18many17signs.19 If1we let2him3go on2like this,4everyone5will believe6in7him,8and9the11Romans12will come10and13take away14both16our15place18and19ournation.”21 But2one1of4them,5Caiaphas,6who was8high priest7that11year,10said12to them,13“You14know16nothing at all.1517 Nor1do you understand2that3it is better4for you5that6one7man8should die9for10the11people,12not14thatthe16whole15nation17should perish.”18 He did6not5say6this1of3his own [accord],4but7being9high priest8that12year11he prophesied13that14Jesus16would die1517for18the19nation,20 and1not2for3the4nation5only,6but7also9to gather816into17one18the10children11of God13who are scattered abroad.15 So3from1that2day5onthey made plans6to put78him9to death.8 Jesus3therefore2no longer4walked6openly5among7the8Jews,9but10went11from there12to13the14region15near16the17wilderness,18to19a town22called21Ephraim,20and there23he stayed24with25the26disciples.27 Now2the4Passover5of the6Jews7was1at hand,3and8many10went up9from13the14country15to11Jerusalem12before16the17Passover18to19purify20themselves.21 They were looking for1Jesus4and5saying6to7one another8as they stood12in9the10temple,11“What13doyou15think?14That16he will19not1718come19to20the20feast22at all?”1718 Now2the3chief priests4and5the6Pharisees7had given1orders8that9if10anyone11knew12where13he was,14he should let [them] know,15so that16they might arrest17him.18
