John Chapter 11

John 11

Lazarus was raised up from the dead on the fourth day

1. Moreover, a certain Lazarus (El-Aza) of Bethany (date-house) has been sick, from the village of Mary and Martha (mistress), her sister.

2. However, this was Mary who oil (anoint) the Lord with myrrh-perfumed-ointment, and wipe His feet dry by her hair; whose her brother Lazarus, was sick.

3. Then, the sisters sent towards Him, saying, Lord, behold, the one you like (philei) is sick.

4. However, Jesus heard and said, this sickness is not towards death, but, for the glory of God, at least to esteem the Son of God glorious through it.

5. But, Jesus selflessly-Loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6 Therefore, as He heard that he was sick, He indeed stays at the time for two days, in the place, which He had been.

7. Afterwards, in the midst of this, He tells the disciples of going unto Judea again.

8. So, the disciples tell Him, Rabbi, the Jews at present are seeking to stone you, and why are you going there again?

9. Jesus answers, are there not twelve hours a day? In case any person walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he can see by the light of this world;

10. But, in case, any person walks around in the night, he will stumble, because, light is not in it.

11. Amidst talking this thing, He tells them this, Lazarus, our friend is put to sleep; but, I will go, at least to wake him from sleep.

12 The disciples then tells Him, Lord, if he is sleeping, he is saved.

13. However, Jesus spoke about his death; but, they think that He was speaking about taking rest by sleep.

14. Then at a time, Jesus plainly tells them, Lazarus has died.

15. And I rejoice, at least you will believe through it, because I was not there, but, we will go towards him.

16. Thomas, who is called didymus (twin), then, tells the fellow-disciples, should we die off amidst it, at least, let's go.

Resurrection and Life is of Jesus Christ

17. Therefore, Jesus went and found him, already held in the tomb, for four days. 

18. Moreso, Bethany is near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia-course/miles away. 

19. However, many people, out of the Jews, have come towards Martha and Moriah/Mariam, at least to console them concerning their brother.

20. Then, as Martha hears that Jesus has come, she went to meet Him; but, Moriah/Mariam was in the house, sitting down. 

21. Martha then says towards Jesus, Lord, if You had been here, my brother possibly would not have died.

22. even now, I know that, as much as You possibly ask from God, God will give You.

23. Jesus tells her, your brother will rise up.

24. Martha tells Him, I am aware that, he will rise, in the last day, in the resurrection of the dead.

25. Jesus tells her, Resurrection and zoe-Life is of Me; those who have faith unto Me, even if they die, they will live;

26. And everyone, who is living, and have faith unto Me, will never die unto ages. Do you believe this?

27. She answers, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, The One Who would come into the world.

Jesus hate Death and it is the last enemy to be destroyed 

28. And having said this, she went away, and called Moriah/Mariam, her sister, privately, saying, the Teacher is here present, and He is calling you.

29. The same also as she heard, quickly rose from sitting down, and came towards Him.

30. Certainly (no gainsay), Jesus will come into the village, but He is still in the place where Martha met Him.

31. Then, the Jews who are with her and consoling her in the house, see Moriah/Maria, that she quickly stood-up and went out; so, they followed her, thinking she is going away unto the tomb, at least to weep there.

32. Then, as Moriah/Maria comes to where Jesus has been, and sees Him, she fell towards His feet, telling Him, Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have possibly died.

33. Therefore, as Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who followed her weeping, He was agitated in his own self and by the SPIRIT, He was OVERWHELMED/snorted with anger,

34. And He says, where did you place him. They tell Him, Lord, come and see.

35. Jesus shed tears.

36. Then the Jews say, behold, how much He likes him!

37. Some people also from them say, can't this Man who opened the eyes of the blind, at least, make this one not to die?

The miracle of revitalizing/to make alive now

38. Then, Jesus was OVERWHELMED/snort with anger again in Himself, as He comes into the tomb. Moreover, It is a cave, and a stone rest upon it.

39. Jesus says, take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the one who died tells Him, Lord, he stinks already, because, it is the fourth day.

40. Jesus tells her, didn't I tell you, that in case you believe, you will see the glory of God.

41. Then, they lift up the stone. Moreover, Jesus lifts His eyes up above, and says, FATHER, I am grateful that You have heard Me.

42. And I am aware that YOU always listen to Me; but, I say this, because of the crowd standing around; at least, they will at least believe that You sent Me.

43. And having said this, the mega part is His voice that cried out, Lazarus, (come) outside here.

44. The man who died came forth, his feet and hands were bound with winding-strips, and his face enwrapped with towel. Jesus tells them, loosen him, and allow him to go his way.

The Plot to kill Jesus 

45.Then, Many people out of the Jews who come towards Moriah/Maria, to look closely at what has been done, have Faith unto Him.

46. Some people from them go away towards the Pharisees, and tell them what Jesus did.

47. Then, the Chief priests, and the Pharisees assembled for a joint session (Jews Sahendrin), and say, what shall we do? Because, this Man is performing many wonders.

48. In case, we leave him this way, all men will believe unto Him, and the Romans will come, and take us away even to places of the heathen-nations.

49. So, one person from them, Caiapha (the dell), being the High priest in that year, tell them, no, you know nohing!

50. You don't even reckon that, it is of advantage for us, that one Man should die at least for the people, and not the whole nation to perish.

(in John's opinion) 

51. But, he said this, not out of himself, but, being a high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the heathen-nations.

52. And not only for that sake, but at least to assemble the scattered heathen-nations into one, even as children of God.

53. Then from that same day, they take counsel to at least, kill Him.

54. Therefore, Jesus no longer publicly walked among the Jews, but went away from there, unto a region near the wilderness, into a town called Ephraim, and abide there with the disciples.

The last Passover of the Jews celebrated by Jesus (March/April) 

55. Moreover, the Passover of the Jews is near, and many people will go up unto Jerusalem from the regions, at least to purify themselves towards the Passover.

56. Then they seek after Jesus, and speak with one another in the temple, that what do you think, will He not come unto the feast?

57. So, the Chief Priests and the Pharisees gave an injunction, at least, in case any person know where He is, to indicate anyhow, to arrest Him.
