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."
17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had
already been in the tomb for four days.14
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."
25 Jesus said to her, "I am22 the resurrection and
the life.23 He who
believes24 in me will
live, even though he dies;
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
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
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."
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.
Ephesians 1

Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God's holy people in Ephesus,[a] the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.
Thanksgiving and Prayer
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

4 John,
To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
7 "Look, he is coming with the clouds,"[b] and "every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of him."[c] So shall it be! Amen.
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
John's Vision of Christ
9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."
12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man,[d] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. 19 "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels[e] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
