Book 43 : JOHN - Chapter 011
011:001
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
011:002
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he
whom thou lovest is sick
011:003
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
011:004
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus
011:005
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two
days still in the same place where he was
011:006
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into
Judaea again
011:007
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to
stone thee; and goest thou thither again
011:008
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
011:009
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is
no light in him
011:010
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
011:011
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well
011:012
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had
spoken of taking of rest in sleep
011:013
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead
011:014
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the
intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him
011:015
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him
011:016
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave
four days already
011:017
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
off
011:018
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother
011:019
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went
and met him: but Mary sat still in the house
011:020
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died
011:021
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
God will give it thee
011:022
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again
011:023
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day
011:024
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live
011:025
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this
011:026
She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world
011:027
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
011:028
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto
him
011:029
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that
place where Martha met him
011:030
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
011:031
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
011:032
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
troubled
011:033
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord,
come and see
011:034
Jesus wept
011:035
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him
011:036
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
011:037
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave.
It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it
011:038
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
011:039
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God
011:040
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
011:041
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
011:042
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth
011:043
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
011:044
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the
things which Jesus did, believed on him
011:045
But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told
them what things Jesus had done
011:046
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council,
and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles
011:047
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
011:048
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that
same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all
011:049
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should
die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not
011:050
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that
year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation
011:051
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather
together in one the children of God that were scattered
abroad
011:052
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put
him to death
011:053
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
011:054
And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of
the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
themselves
011:055
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
011:056
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
