href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-1.htm"><b>1</b></a></span>Now a certain <i>man</i> was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>It was <i>that</i> Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>When Jesus heard <i>that,</i> He said, <span class="woj">“This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”</span></span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then after this He said to <i>the</i> disciples, <span class="woj">“Let us go to Judea again.”</span></span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span><i>The</i> disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Jesus answered, <span class="woj">“Are there not twelve hours in the day?</span> <span class="woj">If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the</span> <span class="woj">light of this world.</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span><span class="woj">But</span> <span class="woj">if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>These things He said, and after that He said to them, <span class="woj">“Our friend Lazarus</span> <span class="woj">sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”</span></span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Then Jesus said to them plainly, <span class="woj">“Lazarus is dead.</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span><span class="woj">And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.”</span></span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”</span></p> <h3> I Am the Resurrection and the Life</span></h3><p><span class="text John-11-17"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[a]</a></span>two miles away. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Jesus said to her, <span class="woj">“Your brother will rise again.”</span></span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Jesus said to her, <span class="woj">“I am</span> <span class="woj">the resurrection and the life.</span> <span class="woj">He who believes in Me, though he may</span> <span class="woj">die, he shall live.</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span><span class="woj">And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”</span></span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”</span></p> <h3> Jesus and Death, the Last Enemy</span></h3><p><span class="text John-11-28"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>As soon as she heard <i>that,</i> she arose quickly and came to Him. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[b]</a></span>was in the place where Martha met Him. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[c]</a></span>saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>And He said, <span class="woj">“Where have you laid him?”</span></span></p><p><span class="text John-11-34">They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Jesus wept. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>And some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”</span></p> <h3> Lazarus Raised from the Dead</span></h3><p><span class="text John-11-38"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>Jesus said, <span class="woj">“Take away the stone.”</span></span></p><p><span class="text John-11-39">Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been <i>dead</i> four days.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>Jesus said to her, <span class="woj">“Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would</span> <span class="woj">see the glory of God?”</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>Then they took away the stone <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[d]</a></span><i>from the place</i> where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up <i>His</i> eyes and said, <span class="woj">“Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span><span class="woj">And I know that You always hear Me, but</span> <span class="woj">because of the people who are standing by I said <i>this,</i> that they may believe that You sent Me.”</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, <span class="woj">“Lazarus, come forth!”</span> </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/john/11-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth.
