1 Now a cer­tain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sis­ter Martha. 2 (It was that Mary which anoint­ed the Lord with oint­ment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose broth­er Lazarus was sick.) 3 There­fore his sis­ters sent unto him, say­ing, Lord, be­hold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 When Je­sus heard that, he said, This sick­ness is not unto death, but for the glo­ry of God, that the Son of God might be glo­ri­fied there­by. 5 Now Je­sus loved Martha, and her sis­ter, and Lazarus. 6 When he had heard there­fore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. 7 Then af­ter that saith he to his dis­ci­ples, Let us go into Ju­daea again. 8 His dis­ci­ples say unto him, Mas­ter, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thith­er again? 9 Je­sus an­swered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stum­bleth not, be­cause he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man walk in the night, he stum­bleth, be­cause there is no light in him. 11 These things said he: and af­ter that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleep­eth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said his dis­ci­ples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 How­beit Je­sus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spo­ken of tak­ing of rest in sleep. 14 Then said Je­sus unto them plain­ly, Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the in­tent ye may be­lieve; nev­er­the­less let us go unto him. 16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didy­mus, unto his fel­lowdis­ci­ples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 17 Then when Je­sus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days al­ready. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fif­teen fur­longs off: 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to com­fort them con­cern­ing their broth­er. 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Je­sus was com­ing, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. 21 Then said Martha unto Je­sus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my broth­er had not died. 22 But I know, that even now, what­so­ev­er thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23 Je­sus saith unto her, Thy broth­er shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the res­ur­rec­tion at the last day. 25 Je­sus said unto her, I am the res­ur­rec­tion, and the life: he that be­lieveth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whoso­ev­er liveth and be­lieveth in me shall nev­er die. Be­lievest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I be­lieve that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sis­ter se­cret­ly, say­ing, The Mas­ter is come, and cal­leth for thee. 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quick­ly, and came unto him. 30 Now Je­sus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and com­fort­ed her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hasti­ly and went out, fol­lowed her, say­ing, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. 32 Then when Mary was come where Je­sus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, say­ing unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my broth­er had not died. 33 When Je­sus there­fore saw her weep­ing, and the Jews also weep­ing which came with her, he groaned in the spir­it, and was trou­bled, 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 Je­sus wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Be­hold how he loved him! 37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? 38 Je­sus there­fore again groan­ing in him­self cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Je­sus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sis­ter of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stin­keth: for he hath been dead four days. 40 Je­sus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest be­lieve, thou shouldest see the glo­ry of God? 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Je­sus lift­ed up his eyes, and said, Fa­ther, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hear­est me al­ways: but be­cause of the peo­ple which stand by I said it, that they may be­lieve that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spo­ken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave­clothes: and his face was bound about with a nap­kin. Je­sus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Je­sus did, be­lieved on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Phar­isees, and told them what things Je­sus had done. 47 Then gath­ered the chief priests and the Phar­isees a coun­cil, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many mir­a­cles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will be­lieve on him: and the Ro­mans shall come and take away both our place and na­tion. 49 And one of them, named Ca­iaphas, be­ing the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know noth­ing at all, 50 Nor con­sid­er that it is ex­pe­di­ent for us, that one man should die for the peo­ple, and that the whole na­tion per­ish not. 51 And this spake he not of him­self: but be­ing high priest that year, he proph­e­sied that Je­sus should die for that na­tion; 52 And not for that na­tion on­ly, but that also he should gath­er to­geth­er in one the chil­dren of God that were scat­tered abroad. 53 Then from that day forth they took coun­sel to­geth­er for to put him to death. 54 Je­sus there­fore walked no more open­ly among the Jews; but went thence unto a coun­try near to the wilder­ness, into a city called Ephraim, and there con­tin­ued with his dis­ci­ples. 55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the coun­try up to Jerusalem be­fore the passover, to pu­ri­fy them­selves. 56 Then sought they for Je­sus, and spake among them­selves, as they stood in the tem­ple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? 57 Now both the chief priests and the Phar­isees had giv­en a com­mand­ment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
