isv John:11:1-46
isv@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
isv@John:11:2 @ Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was the one who was ill.
isv@John:11:3 @ So the sisters sent word to Jesus, saying, “Lord, the one whom you love is ill.”
isv@John:11:4 @ But when Jesus heard it, he said,“This illness is not meant to end in death. It is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
isv@John:11:5 @ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
isv@John:11:6 @ Yet, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed where he was for two days.
isv@John:11:7 @ After this he said to the disciples,“Let's go back to Judea.”
isv@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?”
isv@John:11:9 @ Jesus replied,“There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
isv@John:11:10 @ But if anyone walks at night he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
isv@John:11:11 @ These were the things he said. Then after this he told them,“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am leaving to wake him up.”
isv@John:11:12 @ So the disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well.”
isv@John:11:13 @ Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about resting or sleeping.
isv@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus told them plainly,“Lazarus has died.
isv@John:11:15 @ For your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let's go to him.”
isv@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let's go, too, so that we may die with him!”
isv@John:11:17 @ When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
isv@John:11:18 @ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
isv@John:11:19 @ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother.
isv@John:11:20 @ As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home.
isv@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
isv@John:11:22 @ But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give it to you.”
isv@John:11:23 @ Jesus told her,“Your brother will rise again.”
isv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
isv@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her,“I am the resurrection and the life.The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live.
isv@John:11:26 @ Indeed, everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?”
isv@John:11:27 @ She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world.”
isv@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went away and called her sister Mary and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you!”
isv@John:11:29 @ As soon as Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
isv@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus had not yet arrived at the village but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
isv@John:11:31 @ When the Jews who had been with her, consoling her in the house, saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, thinking that she had gone to the tomb to cry there.
isv@John:11:32 @ As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
isv@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, he was greatly troubled in spirit and deeply moved.
isv@John:11:34 @ He said,“Where have you put him?”They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
isv@John:11:35 @ Jesus burst into tears.
isv@John:11:36 @ So the Jews said, “See how much he loved him!”
isv@John:11:37 @ But some of them said, “Surely the one who opened the eyes of the blind man could have kept this man from dying, couldn't he?”
isv@John:11:38 @ Groaning deeply again, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
isv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said,“Remove the stone.”Martha, the dead man's sister, told him, “Lord, there must be a stench by now, because he's been dead for four days.”
isv@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her,“I told you that if you believed you would see God's glory, didn't I?”
isv@John:11:41 @ So they removed the stone.Then Jesus looked upward and said,“Father, I thank you for hearing me.
isv@John:11:42 @ I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.”
isv@John:11:43 @ After saying this, he shouted with a loud voice,“Lazarus, come out!”
isv@John:11:44 @ The dead man came out, his hands and feet tied with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus told them,“Untie him, and let him go.”
isv@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews who had come with Mary and had observed what Jesus did believed in him.
isv@John:11:46 @ Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
