	GENEVA Geneva Bible of 1587	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethania, the towne of Marie, and her sister Martha.	Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.	Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2	(And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her heare, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.)	It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.	(This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)
3	Therefore his sisters sent vnto him, saying, Lord, beholde, he whome thou louest, is sicke.	So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.”	So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
4	When Iesus heard it, he saide, This sickenes is not vnto death, but for the glorie of God, that the Sonne of God might be glorified thereby.	But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”	When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
5	Nowe Iesus loued Martha and her sister, and Lazarus.	Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.	Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6	And after he had heard that he was sicke, yet abode hee two dayes still in the same place where he was.	So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.	So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,
7	Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let vs goe into Iudea againe.	Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”	and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
8	The disciples saide vnto him, Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and doest thou goe thither againe?	The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?”	“But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”
9	Iesus answered, Are there not twelue houres in the day? If a man walke in the day, hee stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.	Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.	Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.
10	But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him.	But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”	It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
11	These things spake he, and after, he said vnto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I goe to wake him vp.	After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.”	After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
12	Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepe, he shalbe safe.	The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”	His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”
13	Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall sleepe.	Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.	Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
14	Then saide Iesus vnto them plainely, Lazarus is dead.	Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,	So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15	And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may beleeue: but let vs go vnto him.	and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”	and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16	Then saide Thomas (which is called Didymus) vnto his felow disciples, Let vs also goe, that we may die with him.	So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”	Then Thomas (also known as Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
17	Then came Iesus, and found that he had lien in the graue foure dayes alreadie.	Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.	On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
18	(Nowe Bethania was neere vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs off.)	Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,	Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19	And many of ye Iewes were come to Martha and Marie to comfort them for their brother.	and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.	and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.
20	Then Martha, when shee heard that Iesus was comming, went to meete him: but Mary sate still in the house.	So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.	When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.
21	Then said Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not bene dead.	Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.	“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22	But now I know also, that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God will giue it thee.	But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”	But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
23	Iesus said vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe.	Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”	Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24	Martha said vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day.	Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”	Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25	Iesus saide vnto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that beleeueth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he liue.	Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,	Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
26	And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth in me, shall neuer die: Beleeuest thou this?	and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”	and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27	She said vnto him, Yea, Lord, I beleeue that thou art that Christ that Sonne of God, which should come into the world.	She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”	“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
28	And when she had so saide, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.	When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”	After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”
29	And when she heard it, shee arose quickly, and came vnto him.	And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.	When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30	For Iesus was not yet come into the towne, but was in the place where Martha met him.	Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.	Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31	The Iewes then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they sawe Marie, that she rose vp hastily, & went out, folowed her, saying, She goeth vnto the graue, to weepe there.	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.	When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32	Then when Mary was come where Iesus was, and sawe him, she fell downe at his feete, saying vnto him, Lord, if thou haddest bene here, my brother had not bene dead.	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.”	When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33	When Iesus therefore saw her weepe, and the Iewes also weepe which came with her, hee groned in the spirit, and was troubled in himselfe,	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.	When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34	And saide, Where haue ye layde him? They said vnto him, Lord, come and see.	And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”	“Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35	And Iesus wept.	Jesus wept.	Jesus wept.
36	Then saide the Iewes, Beholde, how he loued him.	So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”	Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37	And some of them saide, Coulde not he, which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue made also, that this man should not haue died?	But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?”	But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”
38	Iesus therefore againe groned in himselfe, and came to the graue; it was a caue, and a stone was layde vpon it.	Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.	Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
39	Iesus saide, Take ye away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said vnto him, Lorde, he stinketh alreadie: for he hath bene dead foure dayes.	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.”	“Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
40	Iesus saide vnto her, Saide I not vnto thee, that if thou diddest beleeue, thou shouldest see the glorie of God?	Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”	Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
41	Then they tooke away the stone from the place where the dead was layde; Iesus lift vp his eyes, and saide, Father, I thanke thee, because thou hast heard me.	So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.	So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
42	I knowe that thou hearest me alwayes, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue, that thou hast sent 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.”	I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43	As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.	When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.”	When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44	Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hande and foote with bandes, and his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus said vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe.	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.”	The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
45	Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.	Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him,	Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
46	But some of them went their way to the Pharises, & told them what things Iesus had done.	but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.	But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47	Then gathered the hie Priests, & the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.	So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.	Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.
48	If we let him thus alone, all men will beleeue in him, and the Romanes will come and take away both our place, and the nation.	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.”	If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.”
49	Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all,	But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all.	Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all!
50	Nor yet doe you consider that it is expedient for vs, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.	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.”	You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
51	This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation:	He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,	He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation,
52	And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered.	and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.	and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.
53	Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death.	So from that day on they made plans to put him to death.	So from that day on they plotted to take his life.
54	Iesus therefore walked no more openly among the Iewes, but went thence vnto a countrey neere to the wildernes, into a citie called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.	Jesus therefore no longer 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.	Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55	And the Iewes Passeouer was at hande, and many went out of the countrey vp to Hierusalem before the Passeouer, to purifie themselues.	Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves.	When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover.
56	Then sought they for Iesus, and spake among themselues, as they stoode in the Temple, What thinke ye, that he cometh not to the feast?	They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?”	They kept looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple courts they asked one another, “What do you think? Isn’t he coming to the festival at all?”
57	Nowe both the hie Priestes and the Pharises had giuen a commaundement, that if any man knew where he were, he should shewe it, that they might take him.	Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.	But the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who found out where Jesus was should report it so that they might arrest him.
