43_JOH_11_01 now A certain [ man ] was sick , [ named ] Lazarus , of Bethany , the town of Mary And her sister Martha .
43_JOH_11_02 [ it was [ that ] Mary which anointed the LORD with ointment , And wiped his feet with her hair , whose brother Lazarus was sick . ]
43_JOH_11_03 therefore his sisters sent unto him , saying , LORD , behold , he whom thou lovest Is sick .
43_JOH_11_04 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 .
43_JOH_11_05 now Jesus loved Martha , And her sister , And Lazarus .
43_JOH_11_06 when he had heard therefore that he was sick , he abode two days still in the same place where he was .
43_JOH_11_07 Then after that saith he to [ his ] disciples , let us go into Judaea again .
43_JOH_11_08 [ his ] disciples say unto him , master , the Jews of late sought to stone thee ; And goest thou thither again ?
43_JOH_11_09 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 .
43_JOH_11_10 but if A man walk in the night , he stumbleth , because there Is no light in him .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_12 Then said his disciples , LORD , if he Sleep , he shall do Well .
43_JOH_11_13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death : but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in Sleep .
43_JOH_11_14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly , Lazarus Is dead .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_16 Then said Thomas , which Is called Didymus , unto his fellowdisciples , let us also go , that we may die with him .
43_JOH_11_17 Then when Jesus came , he found that he had [ lain ] in the grave four days already .
43_JOH_11_18 now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem , about fifteen furlongs off :
43_JOH_11_19 And Many of the Jews came to Martha And Mary , to comfort them concerning their brother .
43_JOH_11_20 Then Martha , as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming , went And met him : but Mary sat [ still ] in the house .
43_JOH_11_21 Then said Martha unto Jesus , LORD , if thou hadst been here , my brother had not died .
43_JOH_11_22 but I know , that even now , whatsoever thou Wilt ask of God , God will give [ it ] thee .
43_JOH_11_23 Jesus saith unto her , thy brother shall rise again .
43_JOH_11_24 Martha saith unto him , I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day .
43_JOH_11_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 :
43_JOH_11_26 And whosoever liveth And believeth in me shall never die . believest thou this ?
43_JOH_11_27 she saith unto him , yea , LORD : I believe that thou art the Christ , the son of God , which should come into the world .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_29 as soon as she heard [ that ] , she arose quickly , And came unto him .
43_JOH_11_30 now Jesus was not yet come into the town , but was in that place where Martha met him .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_33 when Jesus therefore saw her weeping , And the Jews also weeping which came with her , he groaned in the spirit , And was troubled ,
43_JOH_11_34 And said , where have ye laid him ? they said unto him , LORD , come And see .
43_JOH_11_35 Jesus wept .
43_JOH_11_36 Then said the Jews , behold how he loved him !
43_JOH_11_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 ?
43_JOH_11_38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave . it was A cave , And A stone lay upon it .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_40 Jesus saith unto her , said I not unto thee , that , if thou wouldest believe , thou shouldest see the glory of God ?
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_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_JOH_11_43 And when he thus had spoken , he cried with A loud voice , Lazarus , come forth .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_45 Then Many of the Jews which came to Mary , And had seen the things which Jesus did , believed on him .
43_JOH_11_46 but some of them went their ways to the Pharisees , And told them what things Jesus had done .
43_JOH_11_47 Then gathered the chief priests And the Pharisees A council , And said , what do we ? for this man doeth Many miracles .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_49 And one of them , [ named ] Caiaphas , being the high priest that same year , said unto them , ye know nothing at all ,
43_JOH_11_50 nor consider that it Is expedient for us , that one man should die for the people , And that the whole nation perish not .
43_JOH_11_51 And this spake he not of himself : but being high priest that year , he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation ;
43_JOH_11_52 And not for that nation only , but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad .
43_JOH_11_53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_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 .
43_JOH_11_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 ?
43_JOH_11_57 now Both the chief priests And the Pharisees had given A commandment , that , if any man knew where he were , he should show [ it ] , that they might take him .
