2. John 11:28-30
When she had said this, she went and
called her sister Mary, saying in private,
The Teacher is here and is calling for you.
And when she heard it, she rose quickly
and went to him. Now Jesus had not yet
come into the village, but was still in the
place where Martha had met him.

3. John 11:31-32
When the Jews who were with her in the
house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly
and go out, they followed her, supposing
that she was going to the tomb to weep
there. Now when Mary came to where
Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet,
saying to him, Lord, if you had been here,
my brother would not have died.

4. John 11:33-36
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews
who had come with her also weeping, he
was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly
troubled. And he said, Where have you
laid him? They said to him, Lord, come
and see. Jesus wept. So the Jews said,
See how he loved him!

5. John 11:37-39
But some of them said, Could not he who
opened the eyes of the blind man also have
kept this man from dying? Then Jesus,
deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It
was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus
said, Take away the stone. Martha, the
sister of the dead man, said to him, Lord,
by this time there will be an odor, for he
has been dead four days.

6. John 11:40-42
Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if
you believed you would see the glory of
God? So they took away the stone. And
Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I
thank you that you have heard me. I knew
that you always hear me, but I said this on
account of the people standing around,
that they may believe that you sent me.

7. John 11:43-44
When he had said these things, he cried
out with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out.
The man who had died came out, his hands
and feet bound with linen strips, and his
face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to
them, Unbind him, and let him go.

8. John 11:45-47
Many of the Jews therefore, who had come
with Mary and had seen what he did,
believed in him, but some of them went to
the Pharisees and told them what Jesus
had done. So the chief priests and the
Pharisees gathered the council and said,
What are we to do? For this man
performs many signs.

9. John 11:48-50
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. But one of them, Caiaphas, who
was high priest that year, said to them,
You know nothing at all. Nor do you
understand that it is better for you that one
man should die for the people, not that the
whole nation should perish.

ESV, 2016
10. John 11:51-52
He did not say this of his own accord, but
being the high priest that year he
prophesied that Jesus would die for the
nation, and not for the nation only, but also
to gather into one the children of God who
are scattered abroad.

11. John 11:53-54
So from that day on they made plans to put

walked openly among the Jews, but went
from there to the region near the
wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and
there he stayed with the disciples.
