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

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

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

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. Cross refs

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

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

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

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

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. Cross refs

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

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. Cross refs

¹² Then said his disciples, Lord, 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. Cross refs

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

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. Cross refs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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: Cross refs

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

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

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. Cross refs

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

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

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. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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

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

³⁵ Jesus wept. Cross refs

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

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? Cross refs

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

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. Cross refs

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

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. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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

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. Cross refs

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

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

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

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. Cross refs

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

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

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

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

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

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. Cross refs

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. Cross refs

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? Cross refs

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. Cross refs
