THE RAISING OF LAZARUS. The death of Lazarus:... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW A CERTAIN MAN WAS SICK, NAMED LAZARUS, OF BETHANY, THE TOWN OF MARY AND HER SISTER MARTHA.... [ Continue Reading ]
(IT WAS THAT MARY WHICH ANOINTED THE LORD WITH OINTMENT, AND WIPED HIS FEET WITH HER HAIR, WHOSE BROTHER LAZARUS WAS SICK.)... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE HIS SISTERS SENT UNTO HIM, SAYING, LORD, BEHOLD, HE WHOM THOU LOVEST IS SICK.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN JESUS HEARD THAT, HE SAID, THIS SICKNESS IS NOT UNTO DEATH, BUT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, THAT THE SON OF GOD MIGHT BE GLORIFIED THEREBY.... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW JESUS LOVED MARTHA AND HER SISTER AND LAZARUS.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN HE HAD HEARD THEREFORE THAT HE WAS SICK, HE ABODE TWO DAYS STILL IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE HE WAS. While Jesus was still in retirement in Perea, on the east side of the Jordan, events were transpiring near Jerusalem which were destined to have a great influence on the lives of many people. At Bet... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN AFTER THAT SAITH HE TO HIS DISCIPLES, LET US GO INTO JUDEA AGAIN.... [ Continue Reading ]
The return to Judea:... [ Continue Reading ]
HIS DISCIPLES SAY UNTO HIM, MASTER, THE JEWS OF LATE SOUGHT TO STONE THEE, AND GOEST THOU THITHER AGAIN?... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS ANSWERED, ARE THERE NOT TWELVE HOURS IN THE DAY? IF ANY MAN WALK IN THE DAY, HE STUMBLETH NOT, BECAUSE HE SEETH THE LIGHT OF THIS WORLD.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT IF A MAN WALK IN THE NIGHT, HE STUMBLETH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN HIM. Jesus, after the deliberate delay, announced in a most casual way that He intended to return to Judea, by inviting His disciples to make the journey with Him. But the disciples were filled with apprehension at the prospe... [ Continue Reading ]
THESE THINGS SAID HE; AND AFTER THAT HE SAITH UNTO THEM, OUR FRIEND LAZARUS SLEEPETH; BUT I GO THAT I MAY AWAKE HIM OUT OF SLEEP.... [ Continue Reading ]
The announcement of the death of Lazarus:... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID HIS DISCIPLES, LORD, IF HE SLEEP, HE SHALL DO WELL.... [ Continue Reading ]
HOWBEIT JESUS SPOKE OF HIS DEATH; BUT THEY THOUGHT THAT HE HAD SPOKEN OF TAKING OF REST IN SLEEP.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THEM PLAINLY, LAZARUS IS DEAD.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND I AM GLAD FOR YOUR SAKES THAT I WAS NOT THERE, TO THE INTENT YE MAY BELIEVE; NEVERTHELESS LET US GO UNTO HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID THOMAS, WHICH IS CALLED DIDYMUS, UNTO HIS FELLOW-DISCIPLES, LET US ALSO GO THAT WE MAY DIE WITH HIM. After quieting the fears of His disciples as to His own safety, Jesus thought the time fitting to make His important announcement. He told them that Lazarus, their friend, was lying asleep,... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN WHEN JESUS CAME, HE FOUND THAT HE HAD LAIN IN THE GRAVE FOUR DAYS ALREADY.... [ Continue Reading ]
The faith of Martha:... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW BETHANY WAS NIGH UNTO JERUSALEM, ABOUT FIFTEEN FURLONGS OFF;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND MANY OF THE JEWS CAME TO MARTHA AND MARY TO COMFORT THEM CONCERNING THEIR BROTHER.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN MARTHA, AS SOON AS SHE HEARD THAT JESUS WAS COMING, WENT AND MET HIM; BUT MARY SAT STILL IN THE HOUSE.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID MARTHA UNTO JESUS, LORD, IF THOU HADST BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER HAD NOT DIED.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT I KNOW THAT EVEN NOW, WHATSOEVER THOU WILT ASK OF GOD, GOD WILL GIVE IT THEE. The journey from that section of Perea where Jesus had been staying to Bethany took about two days, and when Jesus therefore reached the town, He was greeted with the intelligence that Lazarus had been in the grave fou... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, THY BROTHER SHALL RISE AGAIN.... [ Continue Reading ]
Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life:... [ Continue Reading ]
MARTHA SAITH UNTO HIM, I KNOW THAT HE SHALL RISE AGAIN IN THE RESURRECTION AT THE LAST DAY.... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS SAID UNTO HER, I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; HE THAT BELIEVETH IN ME, THOUGH HE WERE DEAD, YET SHALL HE LIVE;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHOSOEVER LIVETH AND BELIEVETH IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE. BELIEVEST THOU THIS?... [ Continue Reading ]
SHE SAITH UNTO HIM, YEA, LORD; I BELIEVE THAT THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, WHICH SHOULD COME INTO THE WORLD. Jesus answered Martha's pleading with a beautiful word of comfort, which incidentally tests her faith. The words sounded as though Jesus were referring only to the final resurrection,... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN SHE HAD SO SAID, SHE WENT HER WAY AND CALLED MARY, HER SISTER, SECRETLY, SAYING, THE MASTER IS COME AND CALLETH FOR THEE.... [ Continue Reading ]
Mary's coming to the Lord:... [ Continue Reading ]
AS SOON AS SHE HEARD THAT, SHE AROSE QUICKLY AND CAME UNTO HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW JESUS WAS NOT YET COME INTO THE TOWN, BUT WAS IN THAT PLACE WHERE MARTHA MET HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE JEWS THEN WHICH WERE WITH HER IN THE HOUSE AND COMFORTED HER, WHEN THEY SAW MARY THAT SHE ROSE UP HASTILY AND WENT OUT, FOLLOWED HER, SAYING, SHE GOETH UNTO THE GRAVE TO WEEP THERE.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN WHEN MARY WAS COME WHERE JESUS WAS, AND SAW HIM, SHE FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET, SAYING UNTO HIM, LORD, IF THOU HADST BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER HAD NOT DIED. Martha had gone to the Lord for comfort, and she had received it in full measure. Instead of getting the customary cold sympathy and a stereotyped... [ Continue Reading ]
WHEN JESUS THEREFORE SAW HER WEEPING, AND THE JEWS ALSO WEEPING WHICH CAME WITH HER, HE GROANED IN THE SPIRIT, AND WAS TROUBLED,... [ Continue Reading ]
The sorrow of Jesus:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SAID, WHERE HAVE YE LAID HIM? THEY SAID UNTO HIM, LORD, COME AND SEE.... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS WEPT.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID THE JEWS, BEHOLD, HOW HE LOVED HIM!... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SOME OF THEM SAID, COULD NOT THIS MAN, WHICH OPENED THE EYES OF THE BLIND, HAVE CAUSED THAT EVEN THIS MAN SHOULD NOT HAVE DIED? While Mary had poured out the sorrow of her heart to the Lord, the Jews that had been in the house with her also came up. Now Mary was weeping and wailing, and the Jews... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS, THEREFORE, AGAIN GROANING IN HIMSELF, COMETH TO THE GRAVE. IT WAS A CAVE, AND A STONE LAY UPON IT.... [ Continue Reading ]
The arrival at the grave:... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS SAID, TAKE YE AWAY THE STONE. MARTHA, THE SISTER OF HIM THAT WAS DEAD, SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, BY THIS TIME HE STINKETH; FOR HE HATH BEEN DEAD FOUR DAYS.... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS SAITH UNTO HER, SAID I NOT UNTO THEE, THAT, IF THOU WOULDEST BELIEVE, THOU SHOULDEST SEE THE GLORY OF GOD?... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN THEY TOOK AWAY THE STONE FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE DEAD WAS LAID. AND JESUS LIFTED UP HIS EYES AND SAID, FATHER, I THANK THEE THAT THOU HAST HEARD ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND I KNEW THAT THOU HEAREST ME ALWAYS; BUT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WHICH STAND BY I SAID IT, THAT THEY MAY BELIEVE THAT THOU HAST SENT ME. When Jesus was aware of the bitter mockery which His enemies were trying to heap upon Him even at this time, He was again strongly agitated, filled with indignati... [ Continue Reading ]
The miracle and its effect:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN, HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, LAZARUS, COME FORTH.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE THAT WAS DEAD CAME FORTH, BOUND HAND AND FOOT WITH GRAVE-CLOTHES; AND HIS FACE WAS BOUND ABOUT WITH A NAPKIN. JESUS SAITH UNTO THEM, LOOSE HIM, AND LET HIM GO.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN MANY OF THE JEWS WHICH CAME TO MARY, AND HAD SEEN THE THINGS WHICH JESUS DID, BELIEVED ON HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT SOME OF THEM WENT THEIR WAYS TO THE PHARISEES, AND TOLD THEM WHAT THINGS JESUS HAD DONE. After Jesus had spoken His prayer to His heavenly Father, He did not delay. Addressing Himself to the corpse in the grave, He commanded the dead man with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth; literally: Hither,... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN GATHERED THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE PHARISEES A COUNCIL AND SAID, WHAT DO WE? FOR THIS MAN DOETH MANY MIRACLES.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE COUNCIL OF THE JEWS CONCERNING CHRIST'S REMOVAL. The prophecy of Caiaphas:... [ Continue Reading ]
IF WE LET HIM THUS ALONE, ALL MEN WILL BELIEVE ON HIM; AND THE ROMANS SHALL COME AND TAKE AWAY BOTH OUR PLACE AND NATION.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND ONE OF THEM, NAMED CAIAPHAS, BEING THE HIGH PRIEST THAT SAME YEAR, SAID UNTO THEM, YE KNOW NOTHING AT ALL,... [ Continue Reading ]
NOR CONSIDER THAT IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR US THAT ONE MAN SHOULD DIE FOR THE PEOPLE, AND THAT THE WHOLE NATION PERISH NOT.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THIS SPAKE HE NOT OF HIMSELF, BUT, BEING HIGH PRIEST THAT YEAR, HE PROPHESIED THAT JESUS SHOULD DIE FOR THAT NATION,... [ Continue Reading ]
AND NOT FOR THAT NATION ONLY, BUT THAT ALSO HE SHOULD GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE THE CHILDREN OF GOD THAT WERE SCATTERED ABROAD. The matter of the raising of Lazarus was deemed so important that an immediate meeting of the Sanhedrin seemed advisable. Here the chief priests, who were Sadducees, and their... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN FROM THAT DAY FORTH THEY TOOK COUNSEL TOGETHER FOR TO PUT HIM TO DEATH.... [ Continue Reading ]
The result of the deliberations:... [ Continue Reading ]
JESUS THEREFORE WALKED NO MORE OPENLY AMONG THE JEWS, BUT WENT THENCE INTO A COUNTRY NEAR TO THE WILDERNESS, INTO A CITY CALLED EPHRAIM, AND THERE CONTINUED WITH HIS DISCIPLES.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THE JEWS' PASSOVER WAS NIGH AT HAND; AND MANY WENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY UP TO JERUSALEM BEFORE THE PASSOVER TO PURIFY THEMSELVES.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SOUGHT THEY FOR JESUS, AND SPAKE AMONG THEMSELVES, AS THEY STOOD IN THE TEMPLE, WHAT THINK YE THAT HE WILL NOT COME TO THE FEAST?... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW BOTH THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE PHARISEES HAD GIVEN A COMMANDMENT, THAT, IF ANY MAN KNEW WHERE HE WERE, HE SHOULD SHOW IT, THAT THEY MIGHT TAKE HIM. The members of the Sanhedrin acted upon the summary declaration of Caiaphas as they understood it, for it agreed with the inmost wishes of the major... [ Continue Reading ]
