riversident@John:11:1 @ THERE was a certain man sick \'97 Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

riversident@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Master with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.

riversident@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent to Jesus, saying, "Master, he whom you love is sick."

riversident@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard it he said,

riversident@John:11:5 @ Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

riversident@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed where he was two days.

riversident@John:11:7 @ Then, after that, he said to the disciples,

riversident@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, just now the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

riversident@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered,

riversident@John:11:10" />

riversident@John:11:11 @ He said this, and then he said to them,

riversident@John:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

riversident@John:11:13 @ But Jesus had spoken of his death. They thought that he was speaking of the repose of sleep.

riversident@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said to them frankly,

riversident@John:11:15" />

riversident@John:11:16 @ Thomas, who is called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too to die with him."

riversident@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.

riversident@John:11:18 @ Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,

riversident@John:11:19 @ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them regarding their brother.

riversident@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. Mary was sitting in the house.

riversident@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died.

riversident@John:11:22 @ And now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

riversident@John:11:23 @ Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise at the resurrection on the last day."

riversident@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:11:26" />

riversident@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Master. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

riversident@John:11:28 @ Having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying to her privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

riversident@John:11:29 @ She, when she heard it, rose quickly and went to meet him.

riversident@John:11:30 @ Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

riversident@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with Mary in the house trying to comfort her, seeing her rise quickly and go out, followed thinking that she was going to the tomb to wail there.

riversident@John:11:32 @ When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died."

riversident@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he was indignant in spirit and disturbed,

riversident@John:11:34 @ and said, They said to him, "Master, come and see."

riversident@John:11:35 @ Jesus wept.

riversident@John:11:36 @ The Jews said, "See, how he loved him!"

riversident@John:11:37 @ Some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have prevented this man from dying?"

riversident@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again indignant, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying on the entrance.

riversident@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Master, he is already offensive, for he has been dead four days."

riversident@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,

riversident@John:11:42" />

riversident@John:11:43 @ After saying this he called in a loud voice,

riversident@John:11:44 @ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said,

riversident@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.

riversident@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

riversident@John:11:47 @ So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we doing? for this man is doing many signs.

riversident@John:11:48 @ If we let him alone in this way, all will believe in him and the Romans will come and destroy our place and nation."

riversident@John:11:49 @ One of them, Caiaphas, who was High Priest that year, said to them, "You do not know anything

riversident@John:11:50 @ nor do you reason that it is better for you that one man should die for the people and so the whole nation escape destruction."

riversident@John:11:51 @ He did not say this of himself, but being High Priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

riversident@John:11:52 @ and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God now scattered far and wide.

riversident@John:11:53 @ From that day they plotted to kill him.

riversident@John:11:54 @ So Jesus no more walked about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wild lands, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with his disciples.

riversident@John:11:55 @ The Passover of the Jews was near and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

riversident@John:11:56 @ They were looking for Jesus and were saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple courts, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"

riversident@John:11:57 @ The high priests and the Pharisees had given orders that, if any one knew where he was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.
