  John   chapter 11

   1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of
  Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
   2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with
  ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose
  brother Lazarus was sick.)
   3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord,
  behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
   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.
   5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and
  Lazarus.
   6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he
  abode two days still in the same place where he was.
   7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us
  go into Judaea again.
   8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of
  late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither
  again?
   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.
  10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth,
  because there is no light in him.
  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.
  12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he
  shall do well.
  13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought
  that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
  14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is
  dead.
  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.
  16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto
  his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die
  with him.
  17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in
  the grave four days already.
  18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen
  furlongs off:
  19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to
  comfort them concerning their brother.
  20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was
  coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the
  house.
  21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst
  been here, my brother had not died.
  22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt
  ask of God, God will give it thee.
  23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise
  again.
  24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise
  again in the resurrection at the last day.
  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:
  26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
  never die. Believest thou this?
  27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou
  art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come
  into the world.
  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.
  29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and
  came unto him.
  30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was
  in that place where Martha met him.
  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.
  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.
  33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews
  also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the
  spirit, and was troubled,
  34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto
  him, Lord, come and see.
  35 Jesus wept.
  36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
  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?
  38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh
  to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
  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.
  40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that,
  if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the
  glory of God?
  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.
  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.
  43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud
  voice, Lazarus, come forth.
  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.
  45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had
  seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
  46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees,
  and told them what things Jesus had done.
  47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees
  a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth
  many miracles.
  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.
  49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high
  priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know
  nothing at all,
  50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one
  man should die for the people, and that the whole
  nation perish not.
  51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high
  priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die
  for that nation;
  52 And not for that nation only, but that also he
  should gather together in one the children of God
  that were scattered abroad.
  53 Then from that day forth they took counsel
  together for to put him to death.
  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.
  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.
  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?
  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.
