John 11

1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Compare verse
2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Compare verse
3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
Compare verse
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Compare verse
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Compare verse
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he stayed two days still in the same place where he was.
Compare verse
7 Then after that said he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Compare verse
8 His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone you; and go you thither again?
Compare verse
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbles not, because he sees the light of this world.
Compare verse
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.
Compare verse
11 These things said he: and after that he said to them, Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Compare verse
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Compare verse
13 However, Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
Compare verse
14 Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Compare verse
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent you may believe; nevertheless let us go to him.
Compare verse
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
Compare verse
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
Compare verse
18 Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Compare verse
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Compare verse
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
Compare verse
21 Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
Compare verse
22 But I know, that even now, whatever you will ask of God, God will give it you.
Compare verse
23 Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.
Compare verse
24 Martha said to him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Compare verse
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Compare verse
26 And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this?
Compare verse
27 She said to him, Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Compare verse
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calls for you.
Compare verse
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came to him.
Compare verse
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
Compare verse
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 goes to the grave to weep there.
Compare verse
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother had not died.
Compare verse
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
Compare verse
34 And said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.
Compare verse
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Compare verse
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?
Compare verse
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay on it.
Compare verse
39 Jesus said, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.
Compare verse
40 Jesus said to her, Said I not to you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?
Compare verse
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 you that you have heard me.
Compare verse
42 And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.
Compare verse
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Compare verse
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Loose him, and let him go.
Compare verse
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Compare verse
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
Compare verse
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many miracles.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, You know nothing at all,
Compare verse
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Compare verse
51 And this spoke he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
Compare verse
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
Compare verse
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
Compare verse
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went there to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
Compare verse
55 And the Jews' passover was near at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Compare verse
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think you, that he will not come to the feast?
Compare verse
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take him.
