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

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

3The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick."

John 11:5, John 11:5, Revelation 3:19, Revelation 3:19, Psalms 16:3

4But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."

John 11:40, John 11:40, John 9:3, John 9:3, 1 Peter 4:14

5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

7Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."

stylus

John 10:40, John 10:42, John 10:40, John 10:42, Acts 20:22

8The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

9Jesus answered, "Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

stylus

John 9:4, John 9:4, John 12:35, John 12:35, Jeremiah 31:9

10But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."

1 John 2:10, 1 John 2:11, 1 John 2:10, 1 John 2:11, Jeremiah 13:16

11He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."

stylus

Daniel 12:2, Daniel 12:2, John 11:13, John 11:13, Acts 7:60

12The disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

stylus

13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

stylus

Matthew 9:24, Matthew 9:24

14So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.

John 16:29, John 10:24, John 16:25, John 16:29, John 10:24

15I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."

16Thomas therefore, who is called The Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."

John 13:37, Matthew 10:3, John 21:2, John 13:37, Matthew 10:3

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

John 11:39, John 11:39, Hosea 6:2, Acts 2:27, Acts 2:31

18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

stylus

19Many of the Judeans had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

Job 2:11, Job 2:11, John 11:31, John 11:31, 1 Thessalonians 5:11

20Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.

stylus

1 Thessalonians 4:17, 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Luke 10:38, Luke 10:42, Luke 10:38

21Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.

stylus

John 11:32, John 11:32, Matthew 9:18, Matthew 9:18, 1 Kings 17:18

22Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."

John 9:31, John 9:31, John 11:41, John 11:42, John 11:41

23Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

24Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

stylus

Daniel 12:2, Daniel 12:3, Daniel 12:2, Daniel 12:3, Acts 24:15

25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

stylus

1 Thessalonians 4:14, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, John 3:36, John 3:36, 1 John 5:11

26Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

stylus

John 10:28, John 10:28, Romans 8:13, Romans 8:13, John 5:24

27She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, God's Son, he who comes into the world."

stylus

Matthew 16:16, Matthew 16:16, John 6:69, John 6:14, John 6:69

28When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."

stylus

John 13:13, John 11:20, Mark 10:49, John 13:13, John 11:20

29When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

Proverbs 15:23, Psalms 27:8, Proverbs 15:23, Psalms 27:8, Song of Solomon 3:1

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

stylus

John 11:20, John 11:20

31Then the Judeans 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 to the tomb to weep there.

stylus

John 11:19, John 11:19, 2 Samuel 12:16, 2 Samuel 12:18, Genesis 37:35

32Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."

stylus

John 11:21, John 11:21, Luke 5:8, Luke 17:16, Luke 5:8

33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

stylus

John 11:38, John 11:38, John 12:27, Mark 3:5, John 12:27

34and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."

stylus

Mark 16:6, John 1:39, Mark 15:47, John 20:2, Matthew 28:6

35Jesus wept.

stylus

36The Judeans therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"

stylus

John 11:3, John 11:3, Revelation 1:5, 1 John 4:9, 1 John 4:10

37Some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"

stylus

John 9:6, John 9:7, John 9:6, John 9:7, Psalms 78:19

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

stylus

John 11:33, John 11:33, Matthew 27:60, Matthew 27:60, Genesis 23:19

39Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

stylus

John 11:17, John 11:17, Mark 16:3, Psalms 49:7, Mark 16:3

40Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"

stylus

John 11:4, John 11:4, Romans 4:17, Romans 4:25, John 11:23

41So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

stylus

Matthew 11:25, Matthew 11:25, John 17:1, John 17:1, Psalms 123:1

42I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."

stylus

John 3:17, John 3:17, John 17:21, John 17:21, Romans 8:3

43When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

2 Kings 4:33, 2 Kings 4:36, 2 Kings 4:33, 2 Kings 4:36, Acts 9:40

44He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."

stylus

John 5:25, John 5:25, John 20:7, John 20:7, John 11:25

45Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

stylus

John 11:19, John 2:23, John 11:19, John 2:23, John 10:41

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

stylus

John 9:13, John 9:13, John 5:15, John 5:16, John 12:37

47The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

stylus

Matthew 26:3, Matthew 26:3, Acts 4:5, Acts 4:6, Acts 4:16

48If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."

stylus

Matthew 21:40, Matthew 21:42, Luke 23:28, Luke 23:31, Matthew 22:7

49But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

stylus

John 11:51, John 18:13, John 18:14, Matthew 26:3, John 11:51

50nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."

stylus

John 18:14, John 18:14, Luke 24:46, Luke 24:46, Romans 3:8

51Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

stylus

Daniel 9:26, Daniel 9:26, 1 Samuel 23:9, Exodus 28:30, 2 Corinthians 5:21

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

stylus

John 10:16, John 10:16, 1 John 2:2, Isaiah 49:6, 1 John 2:2

53So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

stylus

Acts 5:33, Acts 9:23, Acts 5:33, Acts 9:23, Jeremiah 38:4

54Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.

stylus

John 7:1, John 7:1, John 7:4, 2 Chronicles 13:19, John 7:4

55Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.

stylus

2 Chronicles 30:17, 2 Chronicles 30:20, Hebrews 9:13, Hebrews 9:14, 2 Chronicles 30:17

56Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think-that he is not coming to the feast at all?"

stylus

John 7:11, John 7:11, John 11:7, John 11:8, John 11:7

57Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
