John 11:17-53

17SoG3767 when JesusG2424 cameG2064, He foundG2147 that he had alreadyG2235 beenG2192 in the tombG3419 1fourG5064 daysG2250. 18NowG1161 2BethanyG963 was nearG1451 JerusalemG2414, aboutG5613 3twoG1178 milesG4712 offG575; 19and manyG4183 of 4the JewsG2453 had comeG2064 to 5MarthaG3136 and MaryG3137, 6to consoleG3888 them concerningG4012 their brotherG80. 207MarthaG3136 thereforeG3767, whenG5613 she heardG191 that JesusG2424 was comingG2064, wentG5221 to meetG5221 Him, but 8MaryG3137 9stayedG2516 at the houseG3624. 21MarthaG3136 thenG3767 saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “10LordG2962, 11ifG1487 You had beenG1510 hereG5602, my brotherG80 would not have diedG599. 22EvenG2532 nowG3568 I knowG3609 that 12whateverG3745G302 You askG154 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will giveG1325 You.” 23JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “Your brotherG80 will riseG450 againG450.” 24MarthaG3136 saidG3004 to Him, “13I knowG3609 that he will riseG450 againG450 in the resurrectionG386 on the lastG2078 dayG2250.” 25JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “14I amG1510 the resurrectionG386 and the lifeG2222; he who believesG4100 in Me will liveG2198 evenG2579 ifG2579 he diesG599, 26and everyoneG3956 who livesG2198 and believesG4100 in Me 15will neverG3756G3361 dieG599. Do you believeG4100 thisG3778?” 27She saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; I have believedG4100 that You are 1617the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of GodG2316, even 1819He who comesG2064 into the worldG2889.”

28When she had saidG3004 thisG3778, she 20wentG565 awayG565 and calledG5455 MaryG3137 her sisterG79, sayingG3004 secretlyG2977, “21The TeacherG1320 is hereG3918 and is callingG5455 for you.” 29And whenG5613 she heardG191 it, she gotG1453 up quicklyG5035 and was comingG2064 to Him.

30NowG1161 JesusG2424 had not yetG3768 comeG2064 into the villageG2968, but 22was stillG2089 in the placeG5117 whereG3699 MarthaG3136 metG5221 Him. 3123ThenG3767 the JewsG2453 who were with her in the houseG3614, and 24consolingG3888 her, when they sawG3708 that MaryG3137 gotG450 up quicklyG5030 and wentG1831 out, they followedG190 her, supposingG1380 that she was goingG5217 to the tombG3419 to weepG2799 thereG1563. 32ThereforeG3767, whenG5613 MaryG3137 cameG2064 whereG3699 JesusG2424 was, she sawG3708 Him, and fellG4098 at His feetG4228, sayingG3004 to Him, “25LordG2962, 26ifG1487 You had beenG1510 hereG5602, my brotherG80 would not have diedG599.” 33WhenG5613 JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sawG3708 her weepingG2799, and 27the JewsG2453 who cameG4905 with her also weepingG2799, He 28was deeplyG1690 movedG1690 in spiritG4151 and 2930was troubledG5015, 34and saidG3004, “WhereG4226 have you laidG5087 him?” They saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, comeG2064 and seeG3708.” 35JesusG2424 31weptG1145. 36SoG3767 32the JewsG2453 were sayingG3004, “SeeG2396 howG4459 He 33lovedG5368 him!” 37But someG5100 of them saidG3004, “CouldG1410 not thisG3778 manG3778, who 34openedG455 the eyesG3788 of the blindG5185 manG3778, 35haveG4160 keptG4160 thisG3778 manG3778 alsoG2532 from dyingG599?”

38SoG3767 JesusG2424, againG3825 being deeplyG1690 movedG1690 withinG1722G1438, cameG2064 to the tombG3419. NowG1161 it was a 36caveG4693, and a stoneG3037 was lyingG1945 againstG1909 it. 39JesusG2424 saidG3004, “RemoveG142 the stoneG3037.” MarthaG3136, the sisterG79 of the deceasedG5053, saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, by thisG2235 timeG2235 37there will be a stenchG3605, for he has beenG1510 dead 38fourG5066 daysG5066.” 40JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “39Did I not sayG3004 to you that ifG1437 you believeG4100, you will seeG3708 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316?” 41SoG3767 they removedG142 the 40stoneG3037. ThenG1161 JesusG2424 41raisedG142 His eyesG3788, and saidG3004, “42FatherG3962, I thankG2168 You that You have heardG191 Me. 42I knewG3609 that You alwaysG3842 hearG191 Me; but 43becauseG1223 of the 44peopleG3793 standingG4026 aroundG4026 I saidG3004 it, soG2443 that they may believeG4100 that 45You sentG649 Me.” 43When He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, He criedG2905 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “LazarusG2976, comeG1204 forthG1854.” 44The man who had diedG2348 cameG1831 forthG1831, 46boundG1210 handG5495 and footG4228 with wrappingsG2750, and 47his faceG3799 was wrappedG4019 aroundG4019 with a clothG4676. JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “UnbindG3089 him, and letG863 him goG5217.”

4548ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 of the JewsG2453 49who cameG2064 to MaryG3137, and 50sawG2300 whatG3739 He had doneG4160, believedG4100 in Him. 46But someG5100 of them wentG565 to the 51PhariseesG5330 and toldG3004 them the things whichG3739 JesusG2424 had doneG4160.

47ThereforeG3767 52the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 53convenedG4863 a 54councilG4892, and were sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 are we doingG4160? For thisG3778 manG444 is performingG4160 manyG4183 5556signsG4592. 48IfG1437 we letG863 Him go on likeG3779 thisG3779, allG3956 menG3956 will believeG4100 in Him, and the RomansG4514 will comeG2064 and takeG142 awayG142 bothG2532 our 57placeG5117 and our nationG1484.” 49But oneG1520 of them, 58CaiaphasG2533, 59who was highG749 priestG749 that yearG1763, saidG3004 to them, “You knowG3609 nothingG3762 at allG3762, 50norG3761 do you takeG3049 into accountG3049 that 60it is expedientG4851 for you that oneG1520 manG444 dieG599 for the peopleG2992, and that the wholeG3650 nationG1484 not perishG622.” 51NowG1161 he did not sayG3004 thisG3778 61on his ownG1438 initiativeG1438, but 62beingG1510 highG749 priestG749 that yearG1763, he prophesiedG4395 that JesusG2424 was goingG3195 to dieG599 for the nationG1484, 52and not for the nationG1484 onlyG3440, but in orderG2443 that He might alsoG2532 63gatherG4863 togetherG4863 into oneG1520 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316 who are scatteredG1287 abroadG1287. 53SoG3767 from that dayG2250 on they 64plannedG1011 togetherG1011 to killG615 Him.
