John 11:1-18

1At this timeG1161 aG5100 man named LazarusG2976 wasG1510 sickG770. He lived in BethanyG963, theG3588 villageG2968 of MaryG3137 andG2532 herG846 sisterG79 MarthaG3136. 2(MaryG3137, whoseG3739 brotherG80 LazarusG2976 was sickG770, wasG1510 to anointG218 theG3588 LordG2962 with perfumeG3464 andG2532 wipeG1591 HisG846 feetG42281 withG3588 herG846 hairG2359.) 3SoG3767 theG3588 sistersG79 sentG649 wordG3004 toG4314 Jesus, “LordG2962G2400, theG3739 one You loveG5368 is sickG770.”

4When JesusG2424 heardG191 this, He saidG2036, “ThisG3778 sicknessG769 willG1510 notG3756 end inG4314 deathG2288. NoG235, it is forG5228 theG3588 gloryG1391 of GodG2316, so thatG2443 theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 itG846.”

5NowG1161 JesusG2424 lovedG25 MarthaG3136 andG2532 herG846 sisterG79 andG2532 LazarusG2976. 6SoG3767 onG5613 hearingG191 thatG3754 Lazarus was sickG770, He stayedG3306 whereG1722G5117G3739 He wasG1510 for twoG1417 daysG2250, 7and thenG1899G3326G3778 He saidG3004 to theG3588 disciplesG3101, “Let us goG71 backG3825 toG1519 JudeaG2449.”

8“RabbiG4461,” they repliedG3004, “theG3588 JewsG2453 justG3568 triedG2212 to stoneG3034 YouG4771, andG2532 You are goingG5217 backG3825 thereG1563?”

9JesusG2424 answeredG611, “Are thereG1510 notG3780 twelveG1427 hoursG5610 ofG3588 daylightG2250? IfG1437 anyoneG5100 walksG4043 inG1722 theG3588 daytimeG2250, he will not stumbleG3756G4350, becauseG3754 he seesG991 by theG3588 lightG5457 of thisG3778 worldG2889. 10ButG1161 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 walksG4043 atG1722 nightG3571, he will stumbleG4350, becauseG3754 heG846 hasG1510 noG3756 lightG5457.”

11

AfterG3326 He had saidG2036 thisG3778, He toldG3004 themG846, “OurG1473 friendG5384 LazarusG2976 has fallen asleepG2837, butG235 I am goingG4198 there toG2443 wake him upG1852G846.”

12

HisG846 disciplesG3101 repliedG2036, “LordG2962, ifG1487 he is sleepingG2837, he will get betterG4982.” 13TheyG1565 thoughtG1380 thatG3754 Jesus was talkingG3004 aboutG4012 actual sleepG2838G3588G5258, butG1161 He was speakingG2046 aboutG4012 theG3588 deathG2288 ofG846 Lazarus.

14SoG3767 JesusG2424 toldG2036 themG846 plainlyG3954, “LazarusG2976 is deadG599, 15andG2532 for your sakeG1223G4771 I am gladG5463 I wasG1510 notG3756 thereG1563, so thatG2443 you may believeG4100. ButG235 let us goG71 toG4314 himG846.”

16ThenG3767 ThomasG2381 calledG3004 DidymusG13242 saidG2036 toG3588 his fellow disciplesG4827, “Let usG1473 alsoG2532 goG71, so thatG2443 we may dieG599 withG3326 HimG846.”

17When JesusG2424 arrivedG2064, He found thatG2147 Lazarus had already spentG2192G2235 fourG5064 daysG2250 inG1722 theG3588 tombG3419. 18NowG1161 BethanyG963 wasG1510 nearG1451 JerusalemG2414, a little less thanG5613 two milesG1178G47123 awayG575,
