The Good News According to Yochanan, Chapter 11
{11:1} Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the
village of Miriam and her sister, Martha. {11:2} It was that Miriam
who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her
hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick. {11:3} The sisters therefore
sent to him, saying, "Lord, behold, he for whom you have great
affection is sick." {11:4} But when Yeshua heard it, he said, "This
sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may
be glorified by it." {11:5} Now Yeshua loved Martha, and her sister,
and Lazarus. {11:6} When therefore he heard that he was sick, he
stayed two days in the place where he was. {11:7} Then after this he
said to the disciples, "Let's go into Judea again."
{11:8} The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Judeans were just trying
to stone you, and are you going there again?"
{11:9} Yeshua answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a
man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of
this world. {11:10} But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles,
because the light isn't in him." {11:11} He said these things, and
after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep,
but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."
{11:12} The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen
asleep, he will recover."
{11:13} Now Yeshua had spoken of his death, but they thought that he
spoke of taking rest in sleep. {11:14} So Yeshua said to them plainly
then, "Lazarus is dead. {11:15} I am glad for your sakes that I was
not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let's go to him."
{11:16} Thomas therefore, who is called [1>]Didymus,[<1] said to his
fellow disciples, "Let's go also, that we may die with him."
{11:17} So when Yeshua came, he found that he had been in the tomb
four days already. {11:18} Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about
[2>]fifteen stadia[<2] away. {11:19} Many of the Judeans had joined
the women around Martha and Miriam, to console them concerning their
brother. {11:20} Then when Martha heard that Yeshua was coming, she
went and met him, but Miriam stayed in the house. {11:21} Therefore
Martha said to Yeshua, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother
wouldn't have died. {11:22} Even now I know that, whatever you ask of
God, God will give you." {11:23} Yeshua said to her, "Your brother
will rise again."
{11:24} Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection at the last day."
{11:25} Yeshua said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He
who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. {11:26} Whoever
lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
{11:27} She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you
are the Messiah, God's Son, he who comes into the world."
{11:28} When she had said this, she went away, and called Miriam,
her sister, secretly, saying, "The Rabbi is here, and is calling you."
{11:29} When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
{11:30} Now Yeshua had not yet come into the village, but was in the
place where Martha met him. {11:31} Then the Judeans who were with her
in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Miriam, that she
rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to
the tomb to weep there." {11:32} Therefore when Miriam came to where
Yeshua was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him,
"Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn't have died."
{11:33} When Yeshua therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans
weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
{11:34} and said, "Where have you laid him?"
They told him, "Lord, come and see."
{11:35} Yeshua wept.
{11:36} The Judeans therefore said, "See how much affection he had
for him!" {11:37} Some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened
the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
{11:38} Yeshua therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the
tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. {11:39} Yeshua
said, "Take away the stone."
Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this
time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
{11:40} Yeshua said to her, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed,
you would see God's glory?"
{11:41} So they took away the stone [3>]from the place where the
dead man was lying.[<3] Yeshua lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father,
I thank you that you listened to me. {11:42} I know that you always
listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said
this, that they may believe that you sent me." {11:43} When he had
said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
{11:44} He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with
wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth.
Yeshua said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
{11:45} Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Miriam and saw
what Yeshua did, believed in him. {11:46} But some of them went away
to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Yeshua had done.
{11:47} The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a
council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
{11:48} If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him,
and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
{11:49} But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that
year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, {11:50} nor do you
consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for
the people, and that the whole nation not perish." {11:51} Now he
didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he
prophesied that Yeshua would die for the nation, {11:52} and not for
the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the
children of God who are scattered abroad. {11:53} So from that day
forward they took counsel that they might put him to death. {11:54}
Yeshua therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed
from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called
Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
{11:55} Now the Passover in Judea was at hand. Many went up from the
country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
{11:56} Then they sought for Yeshua and spoke one with another, as
they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that he isn't coming to
the feast at all?" {11:57} Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had
commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that
they might seize him.
