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