If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe.

Do you believe this?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who comes into the world."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Then the Judeans who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Jesus wept. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-47.htm"><b>47</b></a></span>The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-48.htm"><b>48</b></a></span>If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-49.htm"><b>49</b></a></span>But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-50.htm"><b>50</b></a></span>nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-51.htm"><b>51</b></a></span>Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-52.htm"><b>52</b></a></span>and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-53.htm"><b>53</b></a></span>So from that day on they plotted to kill him.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-54.htm"><b>54</b></a></span>Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim; and stayed there with his disciples.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-55.htm"><b>55</b></a></span>Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-56.htm"><b>56</b></a></span>Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that he is not coming to the feast at all?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/john/11-57.htm"><b>57</b></a></span>Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
