1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
1
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
2
(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.)
3 So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, "Lord , behold, he whom You love is sick."
3
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
4 But when Jesus heard this, He said, "This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it."
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.”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

7 Then after this He said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."

8 The disciples said to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?"
8
“But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”
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.
9
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.
10 "But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
10
It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
11 This He said, and after that He said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep."
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.”
12 The disciples then said to Him, "Lord , if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
12
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep.
13
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
14
So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15 and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him."
15
and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him."
16
Then Thomas (also known as Didymus ) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;

Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
19
and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.
20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.
20
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
21 Martha then said to Jesus, "Lord , if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
21
“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 "Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."
22
But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
23
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."
24
Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,
25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"
26
and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 She said to Him, "Yes, Lord ; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."
27
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you."
28
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.”
29 And when she heard it, she got up quickly and was coming to Him.
29
When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
