John [Yah is gracious] 11:6-40

⁶When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.

⁷Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea Praise again.”

⁸The disciples told him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, the Jews Praisers were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”

⁹Yeshua Salvation answered, “Are not there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

¹⁰But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

¹¹He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus Help of God, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

¹²The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

¹³Now Yeshua Salvation had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

¹⁴So Yeshua Salvation said to them plainly then, “Lazarus Help of God is dead.

¹⁵I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

¹⁶Thomas Seeker of truth therefore, who is called Didymus Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go also, that we may die with him.”

¹⁷So when Yeshua Salvation came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

¹⁸Now Bethany House of affliction was near Jerusalem City of peace, about fifteen stadia away 2 mi; 2.8 km.

¹⁹Many of the Jews Praisers had joined the women around Martha Lady mistress, Strong bitterness and Mary Rebellion, to console them concerning their brother.

²⁰Then when Martha Lady mistress, Strong bitterness heard that Yeshua Salvation was coming, she went and met him, but Mary Rebellion stayed in the house.

²¹Therefore Martha Lady mistress, Strong bitterness said to Yeshua Salvation, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

²²Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

²³Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

²⁴Martha Lady mistress, Strong bitterness said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

²⁵Yeshua Salvation said to her, “ Ena Na I AM (the Living God) the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

²⁶Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

²⁷She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah Anointed one, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

²⁸When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary Rebellion, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here, and is calling you.”

²⁹When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.

³⁰Now Yeshua Salvation had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha Lady mistress, Strong bitterness met him.

³¹Then the Jews Praisers who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary Rebellion, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

³²Therefore when Mary Rebellion came to where Yeshua Salvation was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

³³When Yeshua Salvation therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews Praisers weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

³⁴and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

³⁵Yeshua Salvation wept.

³⁶The Jews Praisers therefore said, “See how much phileo ·affectionate love, high regard· he had for him!”

³⁷Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

³⁸Yeshua Salvation therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

³⁹Yeshua Salvation said, “Take away the stone.” Martha Lady mistress, Strong bitterness, 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.”

⁴⁰Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
