John.11.2
It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
John.11.2
This was the same Mary who massaged the Lord's feet with aromatic oils and then wiped them with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick.

This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.

John.11.3
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
John.11.3
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Master, the one you love so very much is sick."
John.11.3
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick."
John.11.3
Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."
John.11.3
So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, "Lord, the one you love is very sick."
John.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.
John.11.4
When Jesus got the message, he said, "This sickness is not fatal. It will become an occasion to show God's glory by glorifying God's Son."
John.11.4
When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."
John.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 may be glorified through it."

But when Jesus heard about it he said, "Lazarus's sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God. I, the Son of God, will receive glory from this."
John.11.5
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
John.11.5
Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus,
John.11.5
Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
John.11.5
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
John.11.5
Although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
John.11.6
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
John.11.6
but oddly, when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed on where he was for two more days.
John.11.6
Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.
John.11.6
So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.
John.11.6
he stayed where he was for the next two days and did not go to them.
John.11.7
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
John.11.7
After the two days, he said to his disciples, "Let's go back to Judea."
John.11.7
Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."
John.11.7
Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."
John.11.7
Finally after two days, he said to his disciples, "Let's go to Judea again."
John.11.8
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
John.11.8
They said, "Rabbi, you can't do that. The Jews are out to kill you, and you're going back?"
John.11.8
"But Rabbi," they said, "a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you, and yet you are going back there?"
John.11.8
The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?"
John.11.8
But his disciples objected. "Teacher," they said, "only a few days ago the Jewish leaders in Judea were trying to kill you. Are you going there again?"
John.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.
John.11.9
Jesus replied, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in daylight doesn't stumble because there's plenty of light from the sun.
John.11.9
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light.
John.11.9
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
John.11.9
Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours of daylight every day. As long as it is light, people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world.
John.11.10
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
John.11.10
Walking at night, he might very well stumble because he can't see where he's going."
John.11.10
It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light."
John.11.10
But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
John.11.10
Only at night is there danger of stumbling because there is no light."
John.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.
John.11.11
He said these things, and then announced, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. I'm going to wake him up."
John.11.11
After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."
John.11.11
These things He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up."
John.11.11
Then he said, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up."
John.11.12
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
John.11.12
The disciples said, "Master, if he's gone to sleep, he'll get a good rest and wake up feeling fine."
John.11.12
His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better."
John.11.12
Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well."
John.11.12
The disciples said, "Lord, if he is sleeping, that means he is getting better!"
John.11.13
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
John.11.13
Jesus was talking about death, while his disciples thought he was talking about taking a nap.
John.11.13
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
John.11.13
However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.
John.11.13
They thought Jesus meant Lazarus was having a good night's rest, but Jesus meant Lazarus had died.
John.11.14
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
John.11.14
Then Jesus became explicit: "Lazarus died.
John.11.14
So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
John.11.14
Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
John.11.14
Then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
John.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.
John.11.15
And I am glad for your sakes that I wasn't there. You're about to be given new grounds for believing. Now let's go to him."
John.11.15
and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."
John.11.15
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him."
John.11.15
And for your sake, I am glad I wasn't there, because this will give you another opportunity to believe in me. Come, let's go see him."
John.11.16
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
John.11.16
That's when Thomas, the one called the Twin, said to his companions, "Come along. We might as well die with him."
John.11.16
Then Thomas (called Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
John.11.16
Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."
John.11.16
Thomas, nicknamed the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let's go, too--and die with Jesus."
John.11.17
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
John.11.17
When Jesus finally got there, he found Lazarus already four days dead.
John.11.17
On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
John.11.17
So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
John.11.17
When Jesus arrived at Bethany, he was told that Lazarus had already been in his grave for four days.
John.11.18
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
John.11.18
Bethany was near Jerusalem, only a couple of miles away,
John.11.18
Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
John.11.18
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
John.11.18
Bethany was only a few miles down the road from Jerusalem,
John.11.19
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
John.11.19
and many of the Jews were visiting Martha and Mary, sympathizing with them over their brother.
John.11.19
and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.
John.11.19
And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
John.11.19
and many of the people had come to pay their respects and console Martha and Mary on their loss.
John.11.20
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
John.11.20
Martha heard Jesus was coming and went out to meet him. Mary remained in the house.
John.11.20
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
John.11.20
Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
John.11.20
When Martha got word that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary stayed at home.
John.11.21
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
John.11.21
Martha said, "Master, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.
John.11.21
"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
John.11.21
Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
John.11.21
Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
John.11.22
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
John.11.22
Even now, I know that whatever you ask God he will give you."
John.11.22
But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."
John.11.22
But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."
John.11.22
But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask."
John.11.23
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
John.11.23
Jesus said, "Your brother will be raised up."
John.11.23
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
John.11.23
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
John.11.23
Jesus told her, "Your brother will rise again."
John.11.24
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
John.11.24
Martha replied, "I know that he will be raised up in the resurrection at the end of time."
John.11.24
Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
John.11.24
Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
John.11.24
"Yes," Martha said, "when everyone else rises, on resurrection day."
John.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:
John.11.25
"You don't have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live.
John.11.25
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;
John.11.25
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
John.11.25
Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again.
John.11.26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John.11.26
And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?"
John.11.26
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
John.11.26
And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
John.11.26
They are given eternal life for believing in me and will never perish. Do you believe this, Martha?"
John.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.
John.11.27
"Yes, Master. All along I have believed that you are the Messiah, the Son of God who comes into the world."
John.11.27
"Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
John.11.27
She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."
John.11.27
"Yes, Lord," she told him. "I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God."
John.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.
John.11.28
After saying this, she went to her sister Mary and whispered in her ear, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."
John.11.28
And after she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. "The Teacher is here," she said, "and is asking for you."
John.11.28
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."
John.11.28
Then she left him and returned to Mary. She called Mary aside from the mourners and told her, "The Teacher is here and wants to see you."
John.11.29
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
John.11.29
The moment she heard that, she jumped up and ran out to him.
John.11.29
When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
John.11.29
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him.
John.11.29
So Mary immediately went to him.
John.11.30
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
John.11.30
Jesus had not yet entered the town but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
John.11.30
Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
John.11.30
Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him.
John.11.30
Now Jesus had stayed outside the village, at the place where Martha met him.
John.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.
John.11.31
When her sympathizing Jewish friends saw Mary run off, they followed her, thinking she was on her way to the tomb to weep there.
John.11.31
When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
John.11.31
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, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."
John.11.31
When the people who were at the house trying to console Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus's grave to weep. So they followed her there.
John.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.
John.11.32
Mary came to where Jesus was waiting and fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died."
John.11.32
When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
John.11.32
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."
John.11.32
When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell down at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
John.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,
John.11.33
When Jesus saw her sobbing and the Jews with her sobbing, a deep anger welled up within him.
John.11.33
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
John.11.33
Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
John.11.33
When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, he was moved with indignation and was deeply troubled.
John.11.34
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
John.11.34
He said, "Where did you put him?Master, come and see," they said.
John.11.34
"Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied.
John.11.34
And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."
John.11.34
"Where have you put him?" he asked them. They told him, "Lord, come and see."
John.11.35
Jesus wept.
John.11.35
Now Jesus wept.
John.11.35
Jesus wept.
John.11.35
Jesus wept.
John.11.35
Then Jesus wept.
John.11.36
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
John.11.36
The Jews said, "Look how deeply he loved him."
John.11.36
Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"
John.11.36
Then the Jews said, "See how He loved him!"
John.11.36
The people who were standing nearby said, "See how much he loved him."
John.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?
John.11.37
Others among them said, "Well, if he loved him so much, why didn't he do something to keep him from dying? After all, he opened the eyes of a blind man."
John.11.37
But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"
John.11.37
And some of them said, "Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?"
John.11.37
But some said, "This man healed a blind man. Why couldn't he keep Lazarus from dying?"
John.11.38
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
John.11.38
Then Jesus, the anger again welling up within him, arrived at the tomb. It was a simple cave in the hillside with a slab of stone laid against it.
John.11.38
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
John.11.38
Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
John.11.38
And again Jesus was deeply troubled. Then they came to the grave. It was a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance.
John.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.
John.11.39
Jesus said, "Remove the stone." The sister of the dead man, Martha, said, "Master, by this time there's a stench. He's been dead four days!"
John.11.39
"Take away the stone," he said. "But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days."
John.11.39
Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
John.11.39
"Roll the stone aside," Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, said, "Lord, by now the smell will be terrible because he has been dead for four days."
John.11.40
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
John.11.40
Jesus looked her in the eye. "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
John.11.40
Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
John.11.40
Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
John.11.40
Jesus responded, "Didn't I tell you that you will see God's glory if you believe?"
John.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.
John.11.41
Then, to the others, "Go ahead, take away the stone." They removed the stone. Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and prayed, "Father, I'm grateful that you have listened to me.
John.11.41
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
John.11.41
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
John.11.41
So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father, thank you for hearing me.
John.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.
John.11.42
I know you always do listen, but on account of this crowd standing here I've spoken so that they might believe that you sent me."
John.11.42
I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
John.11.42
And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."
John.11.42
You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so they will believe you sent me."
John.11.43
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
John.11.43
Then he shouted, "Lazarus, come out!"
John.11.43
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
John.11.43
Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
John.11.43
Then Jesus shouted, "Lazarus, come out!"
John.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.
John.11.44
And he came out, a cadaver, wrapped from head to toe, and with a kerchief over his face. Jesus told them, "Unwrap him and let him loose."
John.11.44
The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
John.11.44
And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."
John.11.44
And Lazarus came out, bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, "Unwrap him and let him go!"
John.11.45
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
John.11.45
That was a turnaround for many of the Jews who were with Mary. They saw what Jesus did, and believed in him.
John.11.45
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.
John.11.45
Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
John.11.45
Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.
John.11.46
But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
John.11.46
But some went back to the Pharisees and told on Jesus.
John.11.46
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
John.11.46
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.
John.11.46
But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
John.11.47
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
John.11.47
The high priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Jewish ruling body. "What do we do now?" they asked. "This man keeps on doing things, creating God-signs.
John.11.47
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
John.11.47
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.
John.11.47
Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council together to discuss the situation. "What are we going to do?" they asked each other. "This man certainly performs many miraculous signs.
John.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.
John.11.48
If we let him go on, pretty soon everyone will be believing in him and the Romans will come and remove what little power and privilege we still have."
John.11.48
"What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is this man performing many miraculous signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
John.11.48
If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation."
John.11.48

John.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.
John.11.50
Can't you see that it's to our advantage that one man dies for the people rather than the whole nation be destroyed?"
John.11.50

John.11.50

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?
John.11.56
They were curious about Jesus. There was a lot of talk of him among those standing around in the Temple: "What do you think? Do you think he'll show up at the Feast or not?"
