American Standard Version - King James Version

 11:1 ¶ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

 11:1 ¶ Now° a certain° [man] was°° sick,°° [named] Lazarus,° of° Bethany,°° the° town° of Mary° and° her° sister° Martha.°

 11:2 And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

 11:2 ° (It° was°° [that] Mary° which° anointed°° the° Lord° with ointment,° and° wiped°° his° feet° with her°° hair,° whose° brother° Lazarus° was sick.)°°

 11:3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

 11:3 Therefore° his sisters° sent°° unto° him,° saying,°° Lord,° behold,° he whom° thou lovest°° is sick.°°

 11:4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

 11:4 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.°°

 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

 11:5 Now° Jesus° loved°° Martha,° and° her° sister,° and° Lazarus.°

 11:6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.

 11:6 When° he had heard°° therefore° that° he was sick,°° he abode°°° two° days° still°° in° the same° place° where° he was.°°

 11:7 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

 11:7 Then° after° that° saith° he°° to [his] disciples,° Let us go°° into° Judaea° again.°

 11:8 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

 11:8 [His] disciples° say°° unto him,° Master,° the° Jews° of late° sought°° to stone°° thee;° and° goest° thou°° thither° again?°

 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

 11:9 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.°

 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.

 11:10 But° if° a man° walk°° in° the° night,° he stumbleth,°° because° there is°° no° light° in° him.°

 11:11 These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

 11:11 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.°°°

 11:12 The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.

 11:12 Then° said°° his° disciples,° Lord,° if° he sleep,°° he shall do well.°°

 11:13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.

 11:13 Howbeit° Jesus° spake°° of° his° death:° but° they° thought°° that° he had spoken°° of° taking of rest° in sleep.°

 11:14 Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

 11:14 Then°° said°° Jesus° unto them° plainly,° Lazarus° is dead.°°

 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

 11:15 And° I am glad°°° for° your sakes°° that° I was°°°° not° there,° to the intent° ye may believe;°° nevertheless° let us go°° unto° him.°

 11:16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

 11:16 Then° said°° Thomas,° which° is called°° Didymus,° unto his fellowdisciples,° Let us°°° also° go,°° that° we° may die°° with° him.°

 11:17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

 11:17 Then° when Jesus° came,°° he found°° that° he° had°° [lain] in° the° grave° four° days° already.°

 11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;

 11:18 Now° Bethany° was°° nigh° unto° Jerusalem,° about° fifteen° furlongs° off:°

 11:19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

 11:19 And° many° of° the° Jews° came°° to° Martha° and° Mary,°° to° comfort°° them° concerning° their° brother.°

 11:20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

 11:20 Then° Martha,° as soon as° she heard°° that° Jesus° was coming,°° went and met°° him:° but° Mary° sat°° [still] in° the° house.°

 11:21 Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

 11:21 Then° said°° Martha° unto° Jesus,° Lord,° if° thou hadst been°° here,° my° brother°° had°° not° died.°°°

 11:22 And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

 11:22 But° I know,°° that° even° now,° whatsoever°°° thou wilt ask°°° of God,° God° will give°° [it] thee.°

 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

 11:23 Jesus° saith°° unto her,° Thy° brother° shall rise again.°°

 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

 11:24 Martha° saith°° unto him,° I know°° that° he shall rise again°° in° the° resurrection° at° the° last° day.°

 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;

 11:25 Jesus° said°° unto her,° I° am°° the° resurrection,° and° the° life:° he that believeth°° in° me,° though° he were dead,°° yet shall he live:°°

 11:26 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

 11:26 And° whosoever° liveth°° and° believeth°° in° me° shall°° never°°° die.°° Believest° thou°° this?°

 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, [even] he that cometh into the world.

 11:27 She saith°° unto him,° Yea,° Lord:° I° believe°° that° thou° art°° the° Christ,° the° Son° of God,° which° should come°° into° the° world.°

 11:28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is her, and calleth thee.

 11:28 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.°

 11:29 And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.

 11:29 As soon as° she° heard°° [that], she arose°° quickly,° and° came°° unto° him.°

 11:30 (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)

 11:30 Now° Jesus° was°° not yet° come°° into° the° town,° but° was°° in° that place° where° Martha° met°° him.°

 11:31 The Jews then 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 unto the tomb to weep there.

 11:31 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.°

 11:32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

 11:32 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.°°°

 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews [also] weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

 11:33 When° Jesus° therefore° saw°° her° weeping,°° and° the° Jews° also weeping°° which came°° with° her,° he groaned°° in the° spirit,° and° was troubled,°°°

 11:34 and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.

 11:34 And° said,°° Where° have ye laid°° him?° They° said°° unto him,° Lord,° come°° and° see.°°

 11:35 Jesus wept.

 11:35 Jesus° wept.°°

 11:36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

 11:36 Then° said°° the° Jews,° Behold° how° he loved°° him!°

 11:37 But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?

 11:37 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?°°

 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

 11:38 Jesus° therefore° again° groaning°° in° himself° cometh°° to° the° grave.°° It° was°° a cave,° and° a stone° lay°° upon° it.°

 11:39 Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been [dead] four days.

 11:39 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.°

 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

 11:40 Jesus° saith°° unto her,° Said° I°° not° unto thee,° that,° if° thou wouldest believe,°° thou shouldest see°° the° glory° of God?°

 11:41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.

 11:41 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.°

 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

 11:42 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.°

 11:43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

 11:43 And° when he thus° had spoken,°° he cried°° with a loud° voice,° Lazarus,° come°° forth.°

 11:44 He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

 11:44 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.°°

 11:45 Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.

 11:45 Then° many° of° the° Jews° which° came°° to° Mary,° and° had seen°° the things which° Jesus° did,°° believed°° on° him.°

 11:46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

 11:46 But° some° of° them° went their ways°° to° the° Pharisees,° and° told°° them° what things° Jesus° had done.°°

 11:47 ¶ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.

 11:47 ¶ Then° gathered°° the° chief priests° and° the° Pharisees° a council,° and° said,°° What° do° we?°° for° this° man° doeth°° many° miracles.°

 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

 11:48 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.°

 11:49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

 11:49 And°° one°° of° them,° [named] Caiaphas,° being°° the high priest° that same° year,° said°° unto them,° Ye° know°°° nothing at all,°°

 11:50 nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

 11:50 Nor° consider°° that° it is expedient°° for us,° that° one° man° should die°° for° the° people,° and° that the° whole° nation° perish°° not.°

 11:51 Now this he said not of himself: but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

 11:51 And° this° spake° he°° not° of° himself:° but° being°° high priest° that° year,° he prophesied°° that° Jesus° should°° die°° for° that° nation;°

 11:52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

 11:52 And° not° for° that° nation° only,° but° that° also° he should gather together°° in° one° the° children° of God° that were scattered abroad.°°

 11:53 So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

 11:53 Then° from° that° day° forth they took counsel together°° for to° put°° him° to death.°°°

 11:54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples.

 11:54 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.°

 11:55 ¶ Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves.

 11:55 ¶ And° the° Jews'° passover° was°° nigh at hand:° and° many° went°° out of° the country° up°°°°° to° Jerusalem° before° the° passover,° to° purify°° themselves.°

 11:56 They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?

 11:56 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?°

 11:57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.

 11:57 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.°
