| Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. | Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha. |
| (The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.) | And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. |
| So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill. | The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. |
| When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it. | But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. |
| Now Jesus had love in his heart for Martha and her sister and Lazarus. | Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. |
| So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days. | When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was. |
| Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. | Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. |
| The disciples said to him, Master, the Jews were attempting only the other day to have you stoned, and are you going back there again? | The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? |
| Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world. | Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. |
| But if a man goes about in the night, he may have a fall because the light is not in him. | But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. |
| These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep. | These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. |
| Then his disciples said to him, Lord, if he is resting he will get well. | The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover. |
| Jesus, however, was talking of his death: but they had the idea that he was talking about taking rest in sleep. | Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep. |
| Then Jesus said to them clearly, Lazarus is dead. | Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. |
| And because of you I am glad I was not there, so that you may have faith; but let us go to him. | And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. |
| Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death. | Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. |
| Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before. | So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already. |
| Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about two miles away; | Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; |
| And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother. | and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother. |
| When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house. | Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house. |
| Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead. | Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. |
| But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you. | And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. |
| Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again. | Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. |
| Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day. | Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. |
| Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead; | Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live; |
| And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith? | and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this? |
| She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world. | She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh into the world. |
| And having said this, she went away and said secretly to her sister Mary, The Master is here and has sent for you. | And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is her, and calleth thee. |
| And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him. | And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him. |
| Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him. | (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.) |
| Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there. | The Jews then 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 unto the tomb to weep there. |
| When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead. | Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. |
| And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled, | When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews [also] weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, |
| And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord. | and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. |
| And Jesus himself was weeping. | Jesus wept. |
| So the Jews said, See how dear he was to him! | The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him! |
| But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death? | But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die? |
| So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening. | Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. |
| Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days. | Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been [dead] four days. |
| Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God? | Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God? |
| So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me. | So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me. |
| I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me. | And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me. |
| Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out! | And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. |
| And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go. | He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. |
| Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him. | Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him. |
| But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done. | But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done. |
| Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs. | The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs. |
| If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation. | If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. |
| But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything; | But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, |
| You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction. | nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. |
| He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation; | Now this he said not of himself: but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; |
| And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world. | and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad. |
| And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death. | So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death. |
| So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples. | Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples. |
| Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and numbers of people went up from the country to Jerusalem to make themselves clean before the Passover. | Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves. |
| They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast? | They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast? |
| Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him. | Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him. |
