John Chapter 11

• John 11:1
  John.
• John 11:2
  Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
• John 11:3
  It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
• John 11:4
  The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
• John 11:5
  But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
• John 11:6
  Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
• John 11:7
  When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
• John 11:8
  Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
• John 11:9
  The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
• John 11:10
  Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
• John 11:11
  But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
• John 11:12
  He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
• John 11:13
  The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
• John 11:14
  Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
• John 11:15
  So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
• John 11:16
  I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
• John 11:17
  Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
• John 11:18
  So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
• John 11:19
  Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
• John 11:20
  Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
• John 11:21
  Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
• John 11:22
  Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
• John 11:23
  Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
• John 11:24
  Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
• John 11:25
  Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
• John 11:26
  Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
• John 11:27
  Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
• John 11:28
  She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
• John 11:29
  When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
• John 11:30
  When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
• John 11:31
  Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
• John 11:32
  Then the Jews 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, saying, ...
• John 11:33
  Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother woul...
• John 11:34
  When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
• John 11:35
  and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
• John 11:36
  Jesus wept.
• John 11:37
  The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
• John 11:38
  Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
• John 11:39
  Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
• John 11:40
  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 fo...
• John 11:41
  Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
• John 11:42
  So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to ...
• John 11:43
  I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
• John 11:44
  When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
• John 11:45
  He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him...
• John 11:46
  Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
• John 11:47
  But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
• John 11:48
  The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
• John 11:49
  If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
• John 11:50
  But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
• John 11:51
  nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
• John 11:52
  Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
• John 11:53
  and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
• John 11:54
  So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
• John 11:55
  Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He staye...
• John 11:56
  Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
• John 11:57
  Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
• John 11:58
  Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
