	HAWEIS Haweis New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	NOW there was a sick man, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary 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	(It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)	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	The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.	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 Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not for death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may 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	Now Jesus loved 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	Then, though he heard he was ill, yet notwithstanding he abode in the same place where he was two days.	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	But after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea.	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 say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just now sought to stone thee; and art thou going thither again?	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	Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble, 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 walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light with 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 said he: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I go to waken him up.	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 is asleep, he will recover.	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	Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they apprehended that he spake of taking rest in sleep.	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 Jesus therefore told them plainly, Lazarus is dead.	Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,	So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15	And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; but let us go to 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 said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin,) to his fellow-disciples, Let us go too, 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 Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the tomb four days.	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	Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:	Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,	Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19	and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning 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 she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary sat 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	And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.	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 even now I know, that whatsoever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give 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	Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again.	Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”	Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24	Martha saith to him, I know that he shall rise at the resurrection in 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	Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:	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 every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest 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 saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh 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	So when she had thus spoken, she went away, and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The Master is near at hand, 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	As soon as she heard it, she rose hastily, and came to 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	Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was on the spot where Martha had 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	Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep 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	When therefore Mary was come where Jesus was, beholding him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died!	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 Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:	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 he said, Where have ye laid him? They say to 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	Jesus wept.	Jesus wept.	Jesus wept.
36	Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him!	So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”	Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37	But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have 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	Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon 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	Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days.	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	Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory 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 removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that 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	And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe 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	And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth!	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	And the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go!	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 Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on 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 to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus 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	The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing 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 suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and 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 particular person of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing,	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 consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed.	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	And this he spake not from himself: but being the high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the 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 only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed.	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 they consulted together how they might kill him.	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	Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country bordering on the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he abode 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	Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, in order to purify themselves.	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 they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come 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	Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend 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.
