Lazarus, who lived in Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived, was sick.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
(Mary was the woman who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. Her brother Lazarus was the one who was sick.)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So the sisters sent a messenger to tell Jesus, “Lord, your close friend is sick.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Jesus heard the message, he said, “His sickness won’t result in death. Instead, this sickness will bring glory to God so that the Son of God will receive glory through it.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Yet, when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then, after the two days, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, not long ago the Jews wanted to stone you to death. Do you really want to go back there?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day don’t stumble, because they see the light of this world.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
However, those who walk at night stumble because they have no light in themselves.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
After Jesus said this, he told his disciples, “Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, and I’m going to Bethany to wake him.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
His disciples said to him, “Lord, if he’s sleeping, he’ll get well.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jesus meant that Lazarus was dead, but the disciples thought Jesus meant that Lazarus was only sleeping.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
but I’m glad that I wasn’t there so that you can grow in faith. Let’s go to Lazarus.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to the rest of the disciples, “Let’s go so that we, too, can die with Jesus.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
(Bethany was near Jerusalem, not quite two miles away.)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. Mary stayed at home.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Martha told Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask him.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jesus told Martha, “Your brother will come back to life.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Martha answered Jesus, “I know that he’ll come back to life on the last day, when everyone will come back to life.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jesus said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Martha said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was expected to come into the world.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
After Martha had said this, she went back home and whispered to her sister Mary, “The teacher is here, and he is calling for you.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
(Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still where Martha had met him.)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The Jews who were comforting Mary in the house saw her get up quickly and leave. So they followed her. They thought that she was going to the tomb to cry.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Mary arrived where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who were crying with her, he was deeply moved and troubled.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So Jesus asked, “Where did you put Lazarus?” They answered him, “Lord, come and see.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But some of the Jews asked, “Couldn’t this man who gave a blind man sight keep Lazarus from dying?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Deeply moved again, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone covering the entrance.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jesus said, “Take the stone away.” Martha, the dead man’s sister, told Jesus, “Lord, there must already be a stench. He’s been dead for four days.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see God’s glory?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So the stone was moved away from the entrance of the tomb. Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I’ve known that you always hear me. However, I’ve said this so that the crowd standing around me will believe that you sent me.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
After Jesus had said this, he shouted as loudly as he could, “Lazarus, come out!”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The dead man came out. Strips of cloth were wound around his feet and hands, and his face was wrapped with a handkerchief. Jesus told them, “Free Lazarus, and let him go.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Many Jews who had visited Mary and had seen what Jesus had done believed in him.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council. They asked, “What are we doing? This man is performing a lot of miracles.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
If we let him continue what he’s doing, everyone will believe in him. Then the Romans will take away our position and our nation.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
One of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, told them, “You people don’t know anything.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
You haven’t even considered this: It is better for one man to die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Caiaphas didn’t say this on his own. As chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He prophesied that Jesus wouldn’t die merely for this nation, but that Jesus would die to bring God’s scattered children together and make them one.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
From that day on, the Jewish council planned to kill Jesus.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews. Instead, he left Bethany and went to the countryside near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The Jewish Passover was near. Many people came from the countryside to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
As they stood in the temple courtyard, they looked for Jesus and asked each other, “Do you think that he’ll avoid coming to the festival?”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
(The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that whoever knew where Jesus was should tell them so that they could arrest him.)
