1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

<>sick

2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

<>It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, <>anointed

3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

<>he whom thou lovest

4 When 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.

<>This sickness is … for the glory of God, <>death

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

<>Master

9 Jesus 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.

<>answered, <>he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light

10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

<>v. 10, <>stumbleth, <>there is no light in him

11 These 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.

<>sleepeth, <>that I may awake him out of sleep

12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

<>if he sleep, he shall do well

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

<>taking of rest

14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

<>Then said Jesus unto them plainly, <>is dead

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

<>that we may die with him

17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

<>the grave

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

<>furlongs

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

<>to comfort them, <>to comfort

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

<>Jesus was coming

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

<>whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

<>shall rise again

24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

<>he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day, <>the resurrection at the last day

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

<>Jesus said … I am … the life, <>he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, <>yet shall he live

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

<>whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die, <>Believest thou

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

<>I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, <>thou art the Christ, <>the Christ, the Son of God

28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

<>The Master … calleth for thee.

29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

<>came unto him

30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

31 The 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.

32 Then 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.

<>Mary … fell down at his feet, <>was come where Jesus was, and saw him

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

<>groaned

34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

<>come and see

35 Jesus wept.

<>v. 35

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

<>Behold how he loved him!

37 And 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?

<>opened the eyes, <>the blind

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

<>stone

39 Jesus 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.

<>Take ye away the stone.

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

<>if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God

41 Then 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.

<>lifted up his eyes, <>thou hast heard me

42 And 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.

<>thou hast sent me

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

<>vv. 43-44

44 And 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.

<>vv. 43-44, <>bound … bound, <>bound … Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, <>let him go

45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

<>many of the Jews which … had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him, <>believed on him

46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

<>v. 46, <>the Pharisees

47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

<>Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, <>chief, <>priests

48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

<>take away … our place

49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

<>high priest

50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

<>it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, <>expedient, <>one man should die … that the whole nation perish not, <>perish not

51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

<>this spake he not of himself, <>Jesus should die

52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

<>that also he should gather together in one the children of God, <>the children of God that were scattered abroad, <>the children of God

53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

<>they took counsel together for to put him to death, <>counsel

54 Jesus 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.

<>Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, <>a country, <>city, <>Ephraim

55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

<>the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went … up to Jerusalem, <>passover … the passover, <>to purify themselves

56 Then 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?

<>Then sought they for Jesus, <>spake among themselves, <>the temple

57 Now 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.
