Chronological New Testament Study Day 29


John 11 NIV
Scripture Formatting
The Death of Lazarus
1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany,1 the village of Mary and her sister Martha.2
2 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
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love4 is sick."
4 When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory5 so that God's Son may be glorified through it."
5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.
7 Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."6
8 "But Rabbi,"7 they said, "a short while ago the Jews tried to stone you,8and yet you are going back there?"
9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light.9
10 It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light."
11 After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend10 Lazarus has fallen asleep;11 but I am going there to wake him up."
12 His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better."
13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.12
14 So then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead,
15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."
16 Then Thomas13 (called Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
Jesus Comforts the Sisters
17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.14
18 Bethany15 was less than two milesa from Jerusalem,
19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.16
20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.17
21 "Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died.18
22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."19
23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection20 at the last day."21
25 Jesus said to her, "I am22 the resurrection and the life.23 He who believes24 in me will live, even though he dies;
26 and whoever lives and believes25 in me will never die.26 Do you believe this?"
27 "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ,b27 the Son of God,28 who was to come into the world."29
28 And after she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. "The Teacher30 is here," she said, "and is asking for you."
29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.31
31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her,32noticed 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."33
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved34 in spirit and troubled.35
34 "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied.
35 Jesus wept.36
36 Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"37
37 But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man38 have kept this man from dying?"39
Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved,40 came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.41
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."42
40 Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed,43 you would see the glory of God?"44
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up45 and said, "Father,46I 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,47 that they may believe that you sent me."48
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"49
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,50 and a cloth around his face.51 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,52 and had seen what Jesus did,53 put their faith in him.54
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees55 called a meeting56 of the Sanhedrin.57 "What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is this man performing many miraculous signs.58
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 placec and our nation."
49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas,59 who was high priest that year,60spoke 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."61
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.62
53 So from that day on they plotted to take his life.63
54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the Jews.64Instead he withdrew to a region near the desert, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples.
55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,65 many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing66 before the Passover.
56 They kept looking for Jesus,67 and as they stood in the temple area they asked one another, "What do you think? Isn't he coming to the Feast at all?"

57 But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that if anyone found out where Jesus was, he should report it so that they might arrest him.

Psalm 91

Psalm 91 (New International Version)


Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]

2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-

10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
