John - ch 11 v 41 - 57
- So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.1 Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
- I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
- When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
- He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
- Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him.
- But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
- The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
- If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
- But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
- nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
- Now he didn't say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
- and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
- So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
- Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
- Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
- Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that he isn't coming to the feast at all?"
- Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.
- NU omits "from the place where the dead man was lying."
