John 11 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

The Death and Resurrection of Lazarus

Jhn 11:1Now there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

Jhn 11:2It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

Jhn 11:3

Jhn 11:3The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

Jhn 11:4

Jhn 11:4But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.

Jhn 11:5

Jhn 11:5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

Jhn 11:6

Jhn 11:6When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.

Jhn 11:7

Jhn 11:7Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

Jhn 11:8

Jhn 11:8The disciples say to him, Rabbi, even but now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?

Jhn 11:9

Jhn 11:9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;

Jhn 11:10

Jhn 11:10but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

Jhn 11:11

Jhn 11:11These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.

Jhn 11:12

Jhn 11:12The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.

Jhn 11:13

Jhn 11:13But Jesus spoke of his death, but *they* thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.

Jhn 11:14

Jhn 11:14Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.

Jhn 11:15

Jhn 11:15And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.

Jhn 11:16

Jhn 11:16Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let *us* also go, that we may die with him.

Jhn 11:17

Jhn 11:17Jesus therefore on arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.

Jhn 11:18

Jhn 11:18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,

Jhn 11:19

Jhn 11:19and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

Jhn 11:20

Jhn 11:20Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.

Jhn 11:21

Jhn 11:21Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

Jhn 11:22

Jhn 11:22but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

Jhn 11:23

Jhn 11:23Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.

Jhn 11:24

Jhn 11:24Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.

Jhn 11:25

Jhn 11:25Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;

Jhn 11:26

Jhn 11:26and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Jhn 11:27

Jhn 11:27She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.

Jhn 11:28

Jhn 11:28And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.

Jhn 11:29

Jhn 11:29She, when she heard that, rises up quickly and comes to him.

Jhn 11:30

Jhn 11:30Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.

Jhn 11:31

Jhn 11:31The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.

Jhn 11:32

Jhn 11:32Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Jhn 11:33

Jhn 11:33Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,

Jhn 11:34

Jhn 11:34and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.

Jhn 11:35

Jhn 11:35Jesus wept.

Jhn 11:36

Jhn 11:36The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!

Jhn 11:37

Jhn 11:37And some of them said, Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have caused that this man also should not have died?

Jhn 11:38

Jhn 11:38Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

Jhn 11:39

Jhn 11:39Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days there.

Jhn 11:40

Jhn 11:40Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

Jhn 11:41

Jhn 11:41They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;

Jhn 11:42

Jhn 11:42but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

Jhn 11:43

Jhn 11:43And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Jhn 11:44

Jhn 11:44And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.

(Mat 26:1–5; Mar 14:1, 2; Luk 22:1, 2 )

Jhn 11:45

Jhn 11:45Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;

Jhn 11:46

Jhn 11:46but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Conspiracy to Kill Jesus

Jhn 11:47

Jhn 11:47The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.

Jhn 11:48

Jhn 11:48If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

Jhn 11:49

Jhn 11:49But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing

Jhn 11:50

Jhn 11:50nor consider that it is profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish.

Jhn 11:51

Jhn 11:51But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;

Jhn 11:52

Jhn 11:52and not for the nation only, but that he should also gather together into one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

Jhn 11:53

Jhn 11:53From that day therefore they took counsel that they might kill him.

Jhn 11:54

Jhn 11:54Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he sojourned with the disciples.

Jhn 11:55

Jhn 11:55But the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves.

Jhn 11:56

Jhn 11:56They sought therefore Jesus, and said among themselves, standing in the temple, What do ye think? that he will not come to the feast?

Jhn 11:57

Jhn 11:57Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might take him.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
