John 11

1Now a certain was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2(It was Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 3Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you lovest is sick. 4When Yahusha heard , he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of Elohim, that the Son of Elohim might be glorified thereby. 5Now Yahusha loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. 7Then after that says he to disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 8disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and goest you thither again? 9Yahusha 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. 10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 11These things said he: and after that he says unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13Howbeit Yahusha spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14Then said Yahusha unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 16Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 17Then when Yahusha came, he found that he had in the grave four days already. 18Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 19And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Yahusha was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house. 21Then said Martha unto Yahusha, Lord, if you hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22But I know, that even now, whatsoever you will ask of Elohim, Elohim will give you. 23Yahusha says unto her, your brother shall rise again. 24Martha says unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25Yahusha said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest you this? 27She says unto him, yes, Lord: I believe that you art the Messiah, the Son of Elohim, which should come into the world. 28And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for you. 29As soon as she heard , she arose quickly, and came unto him. 30Now Yahusha was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31The 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. 32Then when Mary was come where Yahusha was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if you hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33When Yahusha therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 35Yahusha wept. 36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37And 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? 38Yahusha therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39Yahusha said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, says unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he has been four days. 40Yahusha says unto her, Said I not unto you, that, if you wouldest believe, you shouldest see the glory of Elohim? 41Then they took away the stone where the dead was laid. And Yahusha lifted up eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you hast heard me. 42And I knew that you hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said , that they may believe that you hast sent me. 43And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Yahusha says unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Yahusha did, believed on him. 46But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Yahusha had done. 47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles. 48If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49And one of them, Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahusha should die for that nation; 52And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of Elohim that were scattered abroad. 53Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. 54Yahusha 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. 55And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. 56Then sought they for Yahusha, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? 57Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew , that they might take him.
