John 11:1-30

1NowG1161 a certainG5100 manG5100 was sickG770: LazarusG2976 of 1BethanyG963, the villageG2968 of MaryG3137 and her sisterG79 2MarthaG3136. 2And it was the MaryG3137 who 3anointedG218 4the LordG2962 with 5ointmentG3464, and wipedG1591 His feetG4228 with her hairG2359, whoseG3739 brotherG80 LazarusG2976 was sickG770. 3SoG3767 the sistersG79 sentG649 word to Him, sayingG3004, “6LordG2962, beholdG2396, 7he whomG3739 You loveG5368 is sickG770.” 4But when JesusG2424 heardG191 this, He saidG3004, “ThisG3778 sicknessG769 is not 8meantG4314 forG4314 deathG2288, but is for 9the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 may beG1392 glorifiedG1392 by it.” 5(NowG1161 JesusG2424 lovedG25 10MarthaG3136 and her sisterG79, and LazarusG2976.) 6SoG3767 whenG5613 He heardG191 that he was sickG770, He thenG5119 stayedG3306 twoG1417 daysG2250 longer in the placeG5117 whereG3739 He was. 7ThenG1899 afterG3326 thisG3778 He saidG3004 to the disciplesG3101, “11Let’s goG71 to JudeaG2449 againG3825.” 8The disciplesG3101 saidG3004 to Him, “12RabbiG4461, the JewsG2453 were justG3568 nowG3568 seekingG2212 13to stoneG3034 You, and yet You are goingG5217 thereG1563 againG3825?” 9JesusG2424 repliedG611, “14Are thereG1563 not twelveG1427 hoursG5610 in the dayG2250? IfG1437 anyoneG5100 walksG4043 duringG1722 the dayG2250, he does not stumbleG4350, becauseG3754 he seesG991 the lightG5457 of thisG3778 worldG2889. 10But ifG1437 anyoneG5100 walksG4043 duringG1722 the nightG3571, he stumblesG4350, becauseG3754 the lightG5457 is not in 15him.” 11ThisG3778 He saidG3004, and afterG3326 thisG3778 He saidG3004 to them, “Our 16friendG5384 LazarusG2976 17has fallenG2837 asleepG2837; but I am goingG4198 soG2443 thatG2443 I may awakenG1852 him fromG1852 sleepG1852.” 12The disciplesG3101 thenG3767 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, ifG1487 he has fallenG2837 asleepG2837, he will 18comeG4982 outG4982 ofG4982 itG4982.” 13NowG1161 19JesusG2424 had spokenG3004 of his deathG2288, but they thoughtG1380 that He was speakingG3004 aboutG4012 20actualG2838 sleepG5258. 14SoG3767 JesusG2424 thenG3767 saidG3004 to them plainlyG3954, “LazarusG2976 diedG599, 15and I amG5463 gladG5463 for your sakesG1223 that I was not thereG1563, soG2443 thatG2443 you may believeG4100; but let’s goG71 to him.” 1621ThereforeG3767 ThomasG2381, who was calledG3004 2223DidymusG1324, saidG3004 to his fellowG4827 disciplesG4827, “Let’s alsoG2532 goG71, soG2443 thatG2443 we may dieG599 with Him!”

17SoG3767 when JesusG2424 cameG2064, He foundG2147 that he had alreadyG2235 beenG2192 in the tombG3419 24fourG5064 daysG2250. 18NowG1161 25BethanyG963 was nearG1451 JerusalemG2414, aboutG5613 26fifteenG1178 stadiaG4712 awayG575; 19and manyG4183 of 27the JewsG2453 had comeG2064 to 28MarthaG3136 and MaryG3137, 29to consoleG3888 them aboutG4012 their brotherG80. 20SoG3767 thenG3767 30MarthaG3136, whenG5613 she heardG191 that JesusG2424 was comingG2064, wentG5221 toG5221 meetG5221 Him, but 31MaryG3137 32stayedG2516 in the houseG3624. 21MarthaG3136 thenG3767 saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “33LordG2962, 34ifG1487 You had beenG1510 hereG5602, my brotherG80 would not have diedG599. 22EvenG2532 nowG3568 I knowG3609 that 35whateverG3745G302 You askG154 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will giveG1325 You.” 23JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “Your brotherG80 will riseG450 from the dead.” 24MarthaG3136 saidG3004 to Him, “36I knowG3609 that he will riseG450 in the resurrectionG386 on the lastG2078 dayG2250.” 25JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “37I amG1510 the resurrectionG386 and the lifeG2222; the one who believesG4100 in Me will liveG2198, evenG2579 ifG2579 he diesG599, 26and everyoneG3956 who livesG2198 and believesG4100 in Me 38will neverG3756G3361G1519G165 dieG599. Do you believeG4100 thisG3778?” 27She saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; I have come to believeG4100 that You are 39the 40ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of GodG2316, and 4142He who comesG2064 into the worldG2889.”

28When she had saidG3004 thisG3778, she 43leftG565 and calledG5455 MaryG3137 her sisterG79, sayingG3004 secretlyG2977, “44The TeacherG1320 is hereG3918 and is callingG5455 for you.” 29And whenG5613 she heardG191 this, she gotG1453 upG1453 quicklyG5035 and cameG2064 to Him.

30NowG1161 JesusG2424 had not yetG3768 comeG2064 into the villageG2968, but 45was stillG2089 at the placeG5117 whereG3699 MarthaG3136 metG5221 Him.
