John 11:41-53 in English

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.

⁴² And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

⁴⁴ He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

⁴⁵ Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.

⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

⁵¹ Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ Then they took the boulder away from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard me.

⁴² I know that You always hear me, but because of the people who are standing here I said this, that they may believe that You sent me.”

⁴³ Now when He had said these things, He called loudly, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ He who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus told them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus did.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What are we doing? For this Man performs many signs.

⁴⁸ If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

⁴⁹ Then a certain one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, “You don’t know anything,

⁵⁰ nor do you take into account that it’s better for you that one man should die for the people, than for the whole nation to perish.”

⁵¹ He didn’t say this on his own initiative; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that Jesus might also gather together into one God’s children who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day on, they planned together to kill Jesus.

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.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.

⁴² And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude which standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

⁴⁴ He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

⁴⁵ Many therefore of the Jews, which came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.

⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

⁵¹ Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up toward heaven and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me when I prayed about this earlier.

⁴² I know that you always hear me when I pray. But instead of just praying silently, I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”

⁴³ After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ The man who had been dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his hands and feet, and a cloth was still around his face, but he came out! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” So they did that.

⁴⁵ As a result, many of the Jews who had come to see Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ◄ was the Messiah/had come from God►.

⁴⁶ But some of the others went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the Jewish Council together. They started saying to each other, “What are we going to do about Jesus? He is performing many miracles!

⁴⁸ If we allow him to keep doing this, everyone will believe ◄in him/that he is the Messiah►, and they will make him their king. Then the Roman army will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”

⁴⁹ One of the Jewish Council members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus, he said to them, “You talk as though you do not know anything HYP!

⁵⁰ You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that the Romans kill all the people of our Jewish nation.”

⁵¹ He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole Jewish nation.

⁵² But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who would belong to God, in order that he would unite all of them into one group.

⁵³ So from that day the Jewish leaders started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.

⁴¹ 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 me.

⁴² 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.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ 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 go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ 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.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ 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 me.

⁴² 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.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ 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 go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ 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.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ 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 me.

⁴² 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.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ 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 go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ 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.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

⁴² I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

⁴³ Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

⁴⁴ And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

⁴⁵ Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

⁴⁸ If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

⁵⁰ You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

⁵¹ He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

⁵² And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

⁵³ And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.

⁴¹ They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;

⁴² but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

⁴⁴ And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.

⁴⁵ Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;

⁴⁶ but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing

⁵⁰ nor consider that it is profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish.

⁵¹ But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he should also gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

⁵³ From that day therefore they took counsel that they might kill him.

⁴¹ They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.

⁴² And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.

⁴⁴ And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.

⁴⁵ Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?

⁴⁸ If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.

⁴⁹ But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.

⁵⁰ Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

⁵¹ And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.

⁵² And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.

⁵³ From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.

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.

⁴² And I knew that You always hear Me, but because of the people standing around I said this, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”

⁴³ And having said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”

⁴⁴ And the one having died came out, bound hands and feet with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and seeing the things which Jesus had done, believed in Him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What are we doing? For this Man works many signs.

⁴⁸ If we leave Him alone in this way, all will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and will take away both our place and nation.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You don't know anything,

⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.”

⁵¹ Now this he did not say on his own, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

⁵² and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

⁵³ Therefore from that day on they took counsel together, that they might kill Him.

⁴¹ Then they took away the stone from where the deceased was lying. Jesus raised His eyes and said: “Father, I thank You that You heard me.

⁴² I know that You always hear me, but I spoke for the sake of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent me.”

⁴³ Upon saying these things He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ And out the deceased came! Bound hand and foot with bandages, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus says to them, “Loose him and let him go.”

⁴⁵ So many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council and said: “What can we do? Because this man performs many miraculous signs;

⁴⁸ if we let him go on like this everybody will believe into him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation!”

⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: “You know nothing at all!

⁵⁰ Nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die on behalf of the people, rather than the whole nation perish!”

⁵¹ (Now he did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation;

⁵² and not only on behalf of the nation, but also to gather into one all the scattered children of God.)

⁵³ So from that day on they really plotted to kill Him.

⁴¹ So they removed the stone. Jesus looked heavenwards, and said, “Father, thank you for listening to me.

⁴² I know you always listen to me. I said this because of the crowd standing here so that they will believe that you sent me.”

⁴³ After saying this, Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of linen, and with a cloth around his face. “Unbind him and set him free,” Jesus told them.

⁴⁵ Consequently many of the Jews who had come to comfort Mary and who saw what Jesus did put their trust in him.

⁴⁶ But others went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the ruling council. “What shall we do?” they asked. “This man is doing many miracles.

⁴⁸ If we allow him to continue, everybody will believe in him, and then the Romans will destroy both the Temple and our status as a nation.”

⁴⁹ “You don't understand anything!” said Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

⁵⁰ “Can't you see that it's better for you that one man die for the people so that the whole nation won't be destroyed?”

⁵¹ He didn't say this on his own behalf, but as chief priest that year he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation.

⁵² And this was not just for the Jewish nation, but for all the scattered children of God so that they might be gathered together and be made into one.

⁵³ From that time on they plotted how they might kill Jesus.

⁴¹ Then they tooke away the stone from the place where the dead was layde. And Iesus lift vp his eyes, and saide, Father, I thanke thee, because thou hast heard me.

⁴² I knowe that thou hearest me alwayes, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue, that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.

⁴⁴ Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hande and foote with bandes, and his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus said vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe.

⁴⁵ Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.

⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, all men will beleeue in him, and the Romanes will come and take away both our place, and the nation.

⁴⁹ Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all,

⁵⁰ Nor yet doe you consider that it is expedient for vs, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

⁵¹ This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:

⁵² And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.

⁵³ Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death.

⁴¹ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lift 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.

⁴¹ They therefore took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

⁴² Yet I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude standing around I said it, that they might believe that thou didst send me.

⁴³ And having thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth!

⁴⁴ He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.

⁴⁵ Many of the Jews therefore who had come to Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we to do, seeing that this man worketh many signs?

⁴⁸ If we thus let him alone, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.

⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high-priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all;

⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.

⁵¹ And this he spoke not from himself; but being high-priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation;

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together in one body the children of God that are scattered abroad.

⁵³ Therefore from that day forth they consulted together to put him to death.

⁴¹ So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;

⁴² I know that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you has sent me as your messenger.”

⁴³ Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”

⁴⁴ The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “and let him go.”

⁴⁵ In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, learnt to believe in him.

⁴⁶ Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?

⁴⁸ If we allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our city and our Nationality.”

⁴⁹ One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,

⁵⁰ “You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.”

⁵¹ Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation —

⁵² And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.

⁵³ So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.

⁴¹ So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard my prayer;

⁴² I know that you always hear me; but I say this for the sake of the people standing near, so that they may believe that you has sent me as your messenger.”

⁴³ Then, after saying this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus! Come out!”

⁴⁴ The dead man came out, wrapped hand and foot in a winding-sheet; his face, too, had been wrapped in a cloth. “Set him free,” said Jesus, “and let him go.”

⁴⁵ In consequence of this, many of the people, who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, learned to believe in him.

⁴⁶ Some of them, however, went to the Pharisees, and told them what he had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the High Council, and said, “What are we to do, now that this man is giving so many signs?

⁴⁸ If we allow him to continue as we are doing, everyone will believe in him; and the Romans will come and will take from us both our city and our Nationality.”

⁴⁹ One of them, however, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,

⁵⁰ “You are utterly mistaken. You do not consider that it is better for you that one person should die for the people, rather than the whole nation should be destroyed.”

⁵¹ Now he did not say this of his own accord; but, as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation —

⁵² And not for the nation only, but also that he might unite in one body the children of God now scattered far and wide.

⁵³ So from that day they plotted to put Jesus to death.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Yeshua Salvation lifted up his eyes, and said, “Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, I thank you that you listened to me.

⁴² I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus Help of God, come out!”

⁴⁴ He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Yeshua Salvation said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews Praisers, who came to Mary Rebellion and saw what Yeshua Salvation did, believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees Separated, and told them the things which Yeshua Salvation had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees Separated gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans People from Town of flowing waters will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas Rock that hollows itself out, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yeshua Salvation would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ Then they toke awaye the stone from the place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes and sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me.

⁴² I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it that they maye beleve that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ And when he thus had spoken he cryed with a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe.

⁴⁴ And he that was deed came forth bounde hand and fote with grave bondes and his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto the: loowse him and let him goo.

⁴⁵ Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary and had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd beleved on him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises and tolde them what Iesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This man doeth many miracles.

⁴⁸ Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and the Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people.

⁴⁹ And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest that same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all

⁵⁰ nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs that one man dye for the people and not that all the people perisshe.

⁵¹ This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people

⁵² and not for the people only but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode.

⁵³ From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder for to put him to deeth.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

⁴² I knew that you always listen to me, but it is because of the crowd that is standing around me that I said this, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”

⁴³ After he had said this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ The dead man came out; his feet and hands were bound with cloths, and his face was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”

⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council together and said, “What will we do? This man does many signs.

⁴⁸ If we leave him alone like this, all will believe in him; the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

⁴⁹ However, a certain man among them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing.

⁵⁰ You do not consider that it is better for you that one man dies for the people than that the whole nation perishes.”

⁵¹ Now this he said not from himself. Instead, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

⁵² and not only for the nation, but so that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered together into one.

⁵³ So from that day onward they planned how to put Jesus to death.

⁴¹ 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 me.

⁴² 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.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ 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 go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ 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.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ 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 me.

⁴² 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.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ 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 go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ 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.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

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 who stand by, I said it , that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

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 saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.

⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many miracles.

⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.

⁴⁹ And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to 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 he spoke 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 assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

⁵³ Then from that day forth they took counsel together to put him to death.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Yeshua lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

⁴² 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.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Yeshua said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Judeans who came to Miriam and saw what Yeshua did believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Yeshua had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ 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.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yeshua would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Yeshua lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

⁴² 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.”

⁴³ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

⁴⁴ He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Yeshua said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Judeans who came to Miriam and saw what Yeshua did believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Yeshua had done.

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁸ 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.”

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

⁵⁰ 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.”

⁵¹ Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yeshua would die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

⁵³ So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁴¹ Therefore they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I do thankings to thee, for thou hast heard me;

⁴² and I wist, that thou evermore hearest me, but for the people that standeth about, I said, that they believe, that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ When he had said these things, he cried with a great voice, Lazarus, come forth, or Lazarus, come thou out.

⁴⁴ And anon he that was dead, came out, bound the hands and feet with bonds, and his face bound with a sudarium, or sweating cloth. And Jesus saith to them, Unbind ye him, and suffer ye him to go forth.

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews that came to Mary and Martha, and saw what things Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and said to them, what things Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Therefore the bishops, and the Pharisees gathered a council against Jesus, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles or signs.

⁴⁸ If we leave him thus, all men shall believe in him; and Romans shall come, and shall take our place, and our folk.

⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas by name, when he was bishop of that year, said to them, Ye know nothing,

⁵⁰ nor think, that it speedeth to you, that one man die for the people, and that all the folk perish not.

⁵¹ But he said not this thing of himself, but when he was bishop of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was to die for the folk,

⁵² and not only for the folk, but that he should gather into one the sons of God that were scattered.

⁵³ Therefore from that day they thought for to slay him.

⁴¹ Therefore they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I do thankings to thee, (or Father, I give thanks to thee), for thou hast heard me;

⁴² and I knew, that thou (for)evermore hearest me, (or and I know, that thou always hearest me), but for the people that standeth about, I said (this), (so) that they believe, that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ When he had said these things, he cried with a great voice, Lazarus, come forth, or Lazarus, come thou out.

⁴⁴ And anon he that was dead, came out, bound the hands and feet with bonds, and his face bound with a sudarium, or (a) sweating cloth, (or a napkin). And Jesus saith to them, Unbind ye him, and suffer ye him to go forth. (And at once he who was dead, came out, and his hands and his feet were bound with bonds, and his face was bound with a cloth. And Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and allow him to go forth.)

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews that came to Mary and Martha, and saw what things Jesus did, believed in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and said to them, what things Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Therefore the bishops (or And so the high priests), and the Pharisees gathered a council against Jesus, and said, What do we (do)? for this man doeth many miracles or many signs.

⁴⁸ If we leave him thus, all men shall believe in him; and (then the) Romans shall come, and shall take (away) our place, and our folk. (If we leave him alone, everyone shall believe in him; and then the Romans shall come, and shall destroy our Temple, and our nation.)

⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas by name, when he was bishop of that year (or who was the High Priest that year), said to them, Ye know nothing,

⁵⁰ nor think, that it speedeth to you, that one man die for the people, and that all the folk perish not. (nor understand, that it is more expedient for you, that one man should die for the people, so that the whole nation shall not perish.)

⁵¹ But he said not this thing of himself, but when he was bishop of that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was to die for the folk, (But he did not say this of his own accord, but as he was the High Priest that year, he had prophesied, that Jesus was to die for the nation,)

⁵² and not only for the folk (or and not only die for the nation), but that he should gather into one the sons of God that were scattered.

⁵³ Therefore from that day (forth) they thought, (or sought), (or made plans) for (how) to slay him.

⁴¹ Therfor thei token awei the stoon. And Jhesus lifte vp hise iyen, and seide, Fadir, Y do thankyngis to thee, for thou hast herd me; and Y wiste,

⁴² that thou euermore herist me, but for the puple that stondith aboute, Y seide, that thei bileue, that thou hast sent me.

⁴³ Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he criede with a greet vois, Lazarus, come thou forth.

⁴⁴ And anoon he that was deed, cam out, boundun the hondis and feet with boondis, and his face boundun with a sudarie. And Jhesus seith to hem, Vnbynde ye hym, and suffre ye hym to go forth.

⁴⁵ Therfor many of the Jewis that camen to Marie and Martha, and seyn what thingis Jhesus dide, bileueden in hym.

⁴⁶ But summe of hem wente to the Farisees, and seiden to hem, what thingis Jhesus `hadde don.

⁴⁷ Therfor the bischopis and the Farisees gadriden a counsel ayens Jhesu, and seiden, What do we? for this man doith many myraclis.

⁴⁸ If we leeue hym thus, alle men schulen bileue in hym; and Romayns schulen come, and schulen take our place and oure folk.

⁴⁹ But oon of hem, Cayfas bi name, whanne he was bischop of that yeer, seide to hem,

⁵⁰ Ye witen nothing, ne thenken, that it spedith to you, that o man die for the puple, and that al the folc perische not.

⁵¹ But he seide not this thing of hym silf, but whanne he was bischop of that yeer, he prophesiede, that Jhesu was to die for the folc,

⁵² and not oneli for the folc, but that he schulde gadere in to oon the sones of God that weren scaterid.

⁵³ Therfor fro that day thei souyten for to sle hym.

⁴¹ They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

⁴² and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

⁴³ And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'

⁴⁴ and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'

⁴⁵ Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁶ but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁷ the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

⁴⁸ if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'

⁴⁹ and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,

⁵⁰ nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

⁵¹ And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

⁵³ From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
