约翰福音 11

拉撒路的死

1 有一个患病的人，名叫拉撒路，住在伯大尼，就是马利亚和她姊姊马大的村庄。 2 这马利亚就是那用香膏抹主，又用头发擦他脚的；患病的拉撒路是她的兄弟。 3 她姊妹两个就打发人去见耶稣，说：「主啊，你所爱的人病了。」 4 耶稣听见，就说：「这病不至于死，乃是为　神的荣耀，叫　神的儿子因此得荣耀。」 5 耶稣素来爱马大和她妹子并拉撒路。 6 听见拉撒路病了，就在所居之地仍住了两天。 7 然后对门徒说：「我们再往犹太去吧。」 8 门徒说：「拉比，犹太人近来要拿石头打你，你还往那里去吗？」 9 耶稣回答说：「白日不是有十二小时吗？人在白日走路，就不至跌倒，因为看见这世上的光。 10 若在黑夜走路，就必跌倒，因为他没有光。」 11 耶稣说了这话，随后对他们说：「我们的朋友拉撒路睡了，我去叫醒他。」 12 门徒说：「主啊，他若睡了，就必好了。」 13 耶稣这话是指着他死说的，他们却以为是说照常睡了。 14 耶稣就明明地告诉他们说：「拉撒路死了。 15 我没有在那里就欢喜，这是为你们的缘故，好叫你们相信。如今我们可以往他那里去吧。」 16 多马，又称为低土马，就对那同作门徒的说：「我们也去和他同死吧。」

复活在我，生命在我

17 耶稣到了，就知道拉撒路在坟墓里已经四天了。 18 伯大尼离耶路撒冷不远，约有六里路。 19 有好些犹太人来看马大和马利亚，要为她们的兄弟安慰她们。 20 马大听见耶稣来了，就出去迎接他；马利亚却仍然坐在家里。 21 马大对耶稣说：「主啊，你若早在这里，我兄弟必不死。 22 就是现在，我也知道，你无论向　神求什么，　神也必赐给你。」 23 耶稣说：「你兄弟必然复活。」 24 马大说：「我知道在末日复活的时候，他必复活。」 25 耶稣对她说：「复活在我，生命也在我。信我的人虽然死了，也必复活； 26 凡活着信我的人必永远不死。你信这话吗？」 27 马大说：「主啊，是的，我信你是基督，是　神的儿子，就是那要临到世界的。」

耶稣哭了

28  马大说了这话，就回去暗暗地叫她妹子马利亚，说：「夫子来了，叫你。」 29 马利亚听见了，就急忙起来，到耶稣那里去。 30 那时，耶稣还没有进村子，仍在马大迎接他的地方。 31 那些同马利亚在家里安慰她的犹太人，见她急忙起来出去，就跟着她，以为她要往坟墓那里去哭。 32 马利亚到了耶稣那里，看见他，就俯伏在他脚前，说：「主啊，你若早在这里，我兄弟必不死。」 33 耶稣看见她哭，并看见与她同来的犹太人也哭，就心里悲叹，又甚忧愁， 34 便说：「你们把他安放在哪里？」他们回答说：「请主来看。」 35 耶稣哭了。 36 犹太人就说：「你看他爱这人是何等恳切。」 37 其中有人说：「他既然开了瞎子的眼睛，岂不能叫这人不死吗？」

拉撒路复活

38 耶稣又心里悲叹，来到坟墓前；那坟墓是个洞，有一块石头挡着。 39 耶稣说：「你们把石头挪开。」那死人的姊姊马大对他说：「主啊，他现在必是臭了，因为他死了已经四天了。」 40 耶稣说：「我不是对你说过，你若信，就必看见　神的荣耀吗？」 41 他们就把石头挪开。耶稣举目望天，说：「父啊，我感谢你，因为你已经听我。 42 我也知道你常听我，但我说这话是为周围站着的众人，叫他们信是你差了我来。」 43 说了这话，就大声呼叫说：「拉撒路出来！」 44 那死人就出来了，手脚裹着布，脸上包着手巾。耶稣对他们说：「解开，叫他走！」

杀害耶稣的阴谋

（太26·1—5；可14·1—2；路22·1—2）

45 那些来看马利亚的犹太人见了耶稣所做的事，就多有信他的； 46 但其中也有去见法利赛人的，将耶稣所做的事告诉他们。 47 祭司长和法利赛人聚集公会，说：「这人行好些神迹，我们怎么办呢？ 48 若这样由着他，人人都要信他，罗马人也要来夺我们的地土和我们的百姓。」 49 内中有一个人，名叫该亚法，本年作大祭司，对他们说：「你们不知道什么。 50 独不想一个人替百姓死，免得通国灭亡，就是你们的益处。」 51 他这话不是出于自己，是因他本年作大祭司，所以预言耶稣将要替这一国死； 52 也不但替这一国死，并要将　神四散的子民都聚集归一。 53 从那日起，他们就商议要杀耶稣

54 所以，耶稣不再显然行在犹太人中间，就离开那里往靠近旷野的地方去，到了一座城，名叫以法莲，就在那里和门徒同住。

55  犹太人的逾越节近了，有许多人从乡下上耶路撒冷去，要在节前洁净自己。 56 他们就寻找耶稣，站在殿里彼此说：「你们的意思如何，他不来过节吗？」 57 那时，祭司长和法利赛人早已吩咐说，若有人知道耶稣在哪里，就要报明，好去拿他。

John 11

The Death of Lazarus

1 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.t2 (Now it was Mary who anointed the Lord with perfumed oilt and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)s3 So the sisters sent a messaget to Jesus,t “Lord, look, the one you love is sick.”4 When Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not lead to death,ts but to God’s glory,t so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”s

5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)s
6 So when he heard that Lazarust was sick, he remained in the place where he was for two more days.7 Then after this, he said to his disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”s8 The disciples replied,t “Rabbi, the Jewish leaderst were just now tryingt to stone you to death! Aret you going there again?”9 Jesus replied,t “Are there not twelve hours in a day? If anyone walks around in the daytime, he does not stumble,t because he sees the light of this world.s

10 But if anyone walks around at night,t he stumbles,t because the light is not in him.”
11 After he said this, he added,t “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep.t But I am going there to awaken him.”12 Then the disciples replied,t “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

13 (Now Jesus had been talking aboutt his death, but theyt thought he had been talking about real sleep.)ts
14 Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,15 and I am gladt for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe.s But let us go to him.”

16 So Thomas (called Didymuss)s said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”s

Speaking with Martha and Mary

17 Whent Jesus arrived,t he found that Lazarust had been in the tomb four days already.ts18 (Now Bethany was less than two milest from Jerusalem,s19 so many of the Jewish people of the regiont had come to Martha and Mary to console themt over the loss of their brother.)ts20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.s21 Marthat said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will grantt you.”s
23 Jesus replied,t “Your brother will come back to life again.”ts24 Martha said,t “I know that he will come back to life againt in the resurrection at the last day.”25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will livet even if he dies,26 and the one who lives and believes in me will never die.t Do you believe this?”

27 She replied,t “Yes, Lord, I believet that you are the Christ,ts the Son of God who comes into the world.”t
28 And when she had said this, Marthat went and called her sister Mary, saying privately,t “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”t29 So when Maryt heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.30 (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)

31 Then the peoplet who were with Maryt in the house consoling her saw hert get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weept there.
32 Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the peoplet who had come with her weeping, he was intensely movedt in spirit and greatly distressed.t34 He asked,t “Where have you laid him?”t They replied,t “Lord, come and see.”35 Jesus wept.s36 Thus the people who had come to mournt said, “Look how much he loved him!”

37 But some of them said, “This is the man who caused the blind man to see!t Couldn’t he have done something to keep Lazarust from dying?”

Lazarus Raised from the Dead

38 Jesus, intensely movedt again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)s39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”t Martha, the sister of the deceased,t replied, “Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell,t because he has been buriedt four days.”s40 Jesus responded,t “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”41 So they took awayt the stone. Jesus looked upwardt and said, “Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.t42 I knew that you always listen to me,t but I said thist for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.”43 Whent he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice,s “Lazarus, come out!”

44 The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth,s and a cloth wrapped around his face.t Jesus said to them, “Unwrap himt and let him go.”

The Response of the Jewish Leaders

45 Then many of the people,t who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesust did, believed in him.46 But some of them went to the Phariseess and reported to themt what Jesus had done.47 So the chief priests and the Phariseest called the councilt together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

48 If we allow him to go on in this way,t everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuaryt and our nation.”
49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said,t “You know nothing at all!50 You do not realizet that it is more to your advantage to have one mant die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.”s51 (Now he did not say this on his own,t but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,t52 and not for the Jewish nationt only,s but to gather togethert into one the children of God who are scattered.)s

53 So from that day they planned together to kill him.
54 Thus Jesus no longer wentt around publiclyt among the Judeans,t but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim,t and stayed there with his disciples.55 Now the Jewish feast of Passovert was near, and many people went up to Jerusalems from the rural areas before the Passover to cleanse themselves ritually.t56 Thus they were looking for Jesus,t and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts,t “What do you think? That he won’t come to the feast?”

57 (Now the chief priests and the Phariseest had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesust was should report it, so that they could arrestt him.)s
