Dual Panel1Now <1161> a certain <5100> man named Lazarus <2976> was sick <770>. He was from <575> Bethany <963>, the village <2968> where Mary <3137> and <2532> her <846> sister <79> Martha <3136> lived <1510>.
2(Now <1161> it was <1510> Mary <3137> who anointed <218> the Lord <2962> with perfumed oil <3464> and <2532> wiped <1591> his <846> feet <4228> dry <1591> with <2359> her <846> hair <2359>, whose <3739> brother <80> Lazarus <2976> was sick <770>.)
3So <3767> the sisters <79> sent <649> a message to <4314> Jesus <846>, “Lord <2962>, look <1492>, the one <3739> you love <5368> is sick <770>.”
4When <1161> Jesus <2424> heard <191> this, he said <2036>, “This <3778> sickness <769> will <1510> not <3756> lead <1510> to <4314> death <2288>, but <235> to <5228> God’s <2316> glory <1391>, so that <2443> the Son <5207> of God <2316> may be glorified <1392> through <1223> it <846>.”
5(Now <1161> Jesus <2424> loved <25> Martha <3136> and <2532> her <846> sister <79> and <2532> Lazarus <2976>.)
6So <3767> when <5613> he heard <191> that <3754> Lazarus was sick <770>, he remained <3306> in <1722> the place <5117> where he was <1510> for two <1417> more days <2250>.
7Then <1899> after <3326> this <5124>, he said <3004> to his disciples <3101>, “Let us go <71> to <1519> Judea <2449> again <3825>.”
8The disciples <3101> replied <3004>, “Rabbi <4461>, the Jewish leaders <2453> were <2212> just now <3568> trying <2212> to stone <3034> you <4571> to death! Are you going <5217> there <1563> again <3825>?”
9Jesus <2424> replied <611>, “Are there <1510> not <3780> twelve <1427> hours <5610> in a day <2250>? If <1437> anyone <5100> walks around <4043> in <1722> the daytime <2250>, he does <4350> not <3756> stumble <4350>, because <3754> he sees <991> the light <5457> of <2889> this <5127> world <2889>.
10But <1161> if <1437> anyone <5100> walks around <4043> at <1722> night <3571>, he stumbles <4350>, because <3754> the light <5457> is <1510> not <3756> in <1722> him <846>.”
11After <5023> he said <2036> this <5124>, he added <3004>, “Our <2257> friend <5384> Lazarus <2976> has fallen asleep <2837>. But <235> I am going <4198> there to <2443> awaken <1852> him <846>.”
12Then <3767> the disciples <3101> replied <3004>, “Lord <2962>, if <1487> he has fallen asleep <2837>, he will recover <4982>.”
13(Now <1161> Jesus <2424> had been talking <2046> about <4012> his <846> death <2288>, but <1161> they thought <1380> he had been talking <3004> about <4012> real <2838> sleep <5258>.)
14Then <5119> Jesus <2424> told <2036> them <846> plainly <3954>, “Lazarus <2976> has died <599>,
15and <2532> I am glad <5463> for your sake <1223> that <3754> I was <1510> not <3756> there <1563>, so that you <5209> may <2443> believe <4100>. But <235> let us go <71> to <4314> him <846>.”
16So <3767> Thomas <2381> (called <3004> Didymus <1324>) said <2036> to his fellow disciples <4827>, “Let us go <71> too <2532>, so that <2443> we may die <599> with <3326> him <846>.”
17When <3767> Jesus <2424> arrived <2064>, he found <2147> that Lazarus <846> had been <2192> in <1722> the tomb <3419> four <5064> days <2250> already <2235>.
18(Now Bethany <963> was <1510> less than <1451> two miles <4712> <1178> from <575> Jerusalem <2414>,
19so <1161> many <4183> of <1537> the Jewish people <2453> of the region had come <2064> to <4314> Martha <3136> and <2532> Mary <3137> to <2443> console <3888> them <846> over <4012> the loss of their brother <80>.)
20So <3767> when Martha <3136> heard <191> that <3754> Jesus <2424> was coming <2064>, she went out to meet <5221> him <846>, but <1161> Mary <3137> was sitting <2516> in <1722> the house <3624>.
21Martha <3136> said <2036> to <4314> Jesus <2424>, “Lord <2962>, if <1487> you had been <1510> here <5602>, my <3450> brother <80> would <302> not <3756> have died <599>.
22But <2532> even now <3568> I know <1492> that <3754> whatever <3745> <302> you ask <154> from God <2316>, God <2316> will grant <1325> you <4671>.”
23Jesus <2424> replied <3004>, “Your <4675> brother <80> will come back to life <450> again.”
24Martha <3136> said <3004>, “I know <1492> that <3754> he will come back to life again <450> in <1722> the resurrection <386> at <1722> the last <2078> day <2250>.”
25Jesus <2424> said <2036> to her <846>, “I <1473> am <1510> the resurrection <386> and <2532> the life <2222>. The one who believes <4100> in <1519> me <1691> will live <2198> even if <2579> he dies <599>,
26and <2532> the one who lives <2198> and <2532> believes <4100> in <1519> me <1691> will <599> never <3361> die <599>. Do you believe <4100> this <5124>?”
27She replied <3004>, “Yes <3483>, Lord <2962>, I <1473> believe <4100> that <3754> you <4771> are <1510> the Christ <5547>, the Son <5207> of God <2316> who comes <2064> into <1519> the world <2889>.”
28And <2532> when <2036> she had said <2036> this <5124>, Martha went <565> and <2532> called <5455> her <846> sister <79> Mary <3137>, saying <2036> privately <2977>, “The Teacher <1320> is here <3918> and <2532> is asking for <5455> you <4571>.”
29So <1161> when <5613> Mary heard <191> this <1565>, she got up <1453> quickly <5035> and <2532> went <2064> to <4314> him <846>.
30(Now <1161> Jesus <2424> had <2064> not yet <3768> entered <2064> the village <2968>, but <235> was <1510> still <2089> in <1722> the place <5117> where <3699> Martha <3136> had come out to meet <5221> him <846>.)
31Then <3767> the people <2453> who were <1510> with <3326> Mary <846> in <1722> the house <3614> consoling <3888> her <846> saw <1492> her <3137> get up <450> quickly <5030> and <2532> go out <1831>. They followed <190> her <846>, because <3754> they thought <1380> she was going <5217> to <1519> the tomb <3419> to <2443> weep <2799> there <1563>.
32Now <3767> when Mary <3137> came <2064> to the place where <3699> Jesus <2424> was and saw <1492> him <846>, she fell <4098> at <4314> his <846> feet <4228> and said <3004> to him <846>, “Lord <2962>, if <1487> you had been <1510> here <5602>, my <3450> brother <80> would <599> not <3756> have died <599>.”
33When Jesus <2424> saw <1492> her <846> weeping <2799>, and <2532> the people who had come with <4905> her <846> weeping <2799>, he was intensely moved <1690> in spirit <4151> and <2532> greatly distressed <5015>.
34He <2532> asked <2036>, “Where <4226> have you laid <5087> him <846>?” They replied <3004>, “Lord <2962>, come <2064> and <2532> see <1492>.”
36Thus <3767> the people <2453> who had come to mourn said <3004>, “Look <1492> how much <4459> he loved <5368> him <846>!”
37But <1161> some <5100> of <1537> them <846> said <3004>, “This <3778> is the man who caused <455> <3788> the blind man <5185> to see <455> <3788>! Couldn’t <3756> <1410> he have done <4160> something to <2443> keep <3361> Lazarus <3778> from <3361> dying <599>?”
38Jesus <2424>, intensely moved <1690> again <3825>, came <2064> to <1519> the tomb <3419>. (Now it was <1510> a cave <4693>, and <2532> a stone <3037> was placed <1945> across <1909> it <846>.)
39Jesus <2424> said <3004>, “Take away <142> the stone <3037>.” Martha <3136>, the sister <79> of the deceased <5053>, replied <3004>, “Lord <2962>, by this time <2235> the body will have a bad smell <3605>, because <1063> he has been buried four days <5066>.”
40Jesus <2424> responded <3004>, “Didn’t <3756> I tell <2036> you <4671> that <3754> if <1437> you believe <4100>, you would see <3708> the glory <1391> of God <2316>?”
41So <3767> they took away <142> the stone <3037>. Jesus <2424> looked <142> <3788> upward <507> and <2532> said <2036>, “Father <3962>, I thank <2168> you <4671> that <3754> you have listened <191> to me <3450>.
42I <1473> knew <1492> that <3754> you always <3842> listen <191> to me <3450>, but <235> I said <2036> this for the sake of <1223> the crowd <3793> standing around <4026> here, that they <4100> may <2443> believe <4100> that <3754> you <4771> sent <649> me <3165>.”
43When <2036> he had said <2036> this <5023>, he shouted <2905> in a loud <3173> voice <5456>, “Lazarus <2976>, come <1204> out <1854>!”
44The one who had died <2348> came out <1831>, his feet <4228> and <2532> hands <5495> tied up <1210> with strips of cloth <2750>, and <2532> a cloth <4676> wrapped around <4019> his <846> face <3799>. Jesus <2424> said <3004> to them <846>, “Unwrap <3089> him <846> and <2532> let <863> him <846> go <5217>.”
45Then <3767> many <4183> of <1537> the people <2453>, who had come <2064> with <4314> Mary <3137> and <2532> had seen <2300> the things Jesus did <4160>, believed <4100> in <1519> him <846>.
46But <1161> some <5100> of <1537> them <846> went <565> to <4314> the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> reported <3004> to them <846> what <3739> Jesus <2424> had done <4160>.
47So <3767> the chief priests <749> and <2532> the Pharisees <5330> called <4863> the council <4892> together <4863> and <2532> said <3004>, “What <5101> are we doing <4160>? For <3754> this <3778> man <444> is performing <4160> many <4183> miraculous signs <4592>.
48If <1437> we allow <863> him <846> to go on in this way <3779>, everyone <3956> will believe <4100> in <1519> him <846>, and <2532> the Romans <4514> will come <2064> and <2532> take away <142> our <2257> sanctuary <5117> and <2532> our nation <1484>.”
49Then <1161> one <1520> of <1537> them <846>, Caiaphas <2533>, who was high priest <749> that <1565> year <1763>, said <2036>, “You <5210> know <1492> nothing <3756> <3762> at all!
50You do <3049> not <3761> realize <3049> that <3754> it is more to <4851> your <5213> advantage <4851> to <2443> have one <1520> man <444> die <599> for <5228> the people <2992> than for the whole <3650> nation <1484> to perish <622>.”
51(Now <1161> he did <2036> not <3756> say <2036> this <5124> on <575> his own <1438>, but <235> because he was high priest <749> that <1565> year <1763>, he prophesied <4395> that <3754> Jesus <2424> was going <3195> to die <599> for <5228> the Jewish nation <1484>,
52and <2532> not <3756> for <5228> the Jewish nation <1484> only <3440>, but <235> to gather together <4863> into <1519> one <1520> the children <5043> of God <2316> who are scattered <1287>.)
53So <3767> from <575> that <1565> day <2250> they planned together <1011> to <2443> kill <615> him <846>.
54Thus <3767> Jesus <2424> no longer <3765> went around <4043> publicly <3954> among <1722> the Judeans <2453>, but <235> went away <565> from there <1564> to <1519> the region <5561> near <1451> the wilderness <2048>, to <1519> a town <4172> called <3004> Ephraim <2187>, and <2546> stayed <3306> there <2546> with <3326> his disciples <3101>.
55Now the Jewish <2453> feast of Passover <3957> was <1510> near <1451>, and <2532> many people <4183> went up <305> to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> from <1537> the rural areas <5561> before <4253> the Passover <3957> to <2443> cleanse <48> themselves <1438> ritually <48>.
56Thus <3767> they were looking for <2212> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> saying <3004> to <3326> one another <240> as <2476> they stood <2476> in <1722> the temple courts <2411>, “What <5101> do <1380> you <5213> think <1380>? That <3754> he <2064> won’t <3756> <3361> come <2064> to <1519> the feast <1859>?”
57(Now <1161> the chief priests <749> and <2532> the Pharisees <5330> had given <1325> orders <1785> that <2443> anyone <5100> who knew <1097> where <4226> Jesus was should report <3377> it, so that <3704> they could arrest <4084> him <846>.)
