John 11:30-57
21st Century King James Version
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met Him.
31 The Jews then, who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, “She goeth unto the grave to weep there.”
32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying unto Him, “Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 and said, “Where have ye laid him?” They said unto Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, “Behold, how he loved him!”
37 And some of them said, “Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?”
38 Jesus therefore again, groaning in Himself, came to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus said, “Take ye away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he hath been dead four days.”
40 Jesus said unto her, “Said I not unto thee that if thou would believe, thou should see the glory of God?”
41 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.
42 And I knew that Thou hearest Me always, but because of the people who stand by I said it, that they may believe that Thou hast sent Me.”
43 And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
45 Then many of the Jews who came to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed in Him.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council and said, “What shall we do? For this man doeth many miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe in him, and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.”
49 And one of them named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, “Ye 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 perish not.”
51 And he spoke this not of himself, but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 and not for that nation only, but that also He should gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
53 So from that day forth, they took counsel together to put Him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no longer openly among the Jews, but went thence unto a region near the wilderness into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with His disciples.
55 And the Jews’ Passover was nigh at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves.
56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, saying, “What think ye — that he will not come to the feast?”
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if any man knew where He was, he should report it, that they might take Him.

John 11:30-57
New International Version
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.(A) 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her,(B) noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32 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.”(C)
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved(D) in spirit and troubled.(E) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35 Jesus wept.(F)
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”(G)
37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man(H) have kept this man from dying?”(I)
Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved,(J) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.(K) 39 “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.”(L)
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,(M) you will see the glory of God?”(N)
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up(O) and said, “Father,(P) I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,(Q) that they may believe that you sent me.”(R)
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”(S) 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,(T) and a cloth around his face.(U)
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary,(V) and had seen what Jesus did,(W) believed in him.(X) 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees(Y) called a meeting(Z) of the Sanhedrin.(AA)
“What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs.(AB) 48 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,(AC) who was high priest that year,(AD) spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”(AE)
51 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 only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.(AF) 53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.(AG)
54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea.(AH) Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,(AI) many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing(AJ) before the Passover. 56 They kept looking for Jesus,(AK) 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 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.
