<h3>The Death of Lazarus</h3>11 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, <woj> “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”</woj> 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, <woj> “Let us go to Judea again.”</woj> 8 The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9 Jesus answered, <woj> “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.</woj> 10 <woj>But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”</woj> 11 After saying these things, he said to them, <woj>“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.”</woj> 12 The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, <woj>“Lazarus has died,</woj> 15 <woj>and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”</woj> 16 So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” <h3>I Am the Resurrection and the Life</h3> 17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. 20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.” 23 Jesus said to her, <woj>“Your brother will rise again.”</woj> 24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, <woj> “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,</woj> 26 <woj>and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”</woj> 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.” <h3>Jesus Weeps</h3> 28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. 34 And he said, <woj>“Where have you laid him?”</woj> They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?” <h3>Jesus Raises Lazarus</h3> 38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, <woj>“Take away the stone.”</woj> Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, <woj> “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”</woj> 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, <woj>“Father, I thank you that you have heard me.</woj> 42 <woj> I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.”</woj> 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, <woj>“Lazarus, come out.”</woj> 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, <woj>“Unbind him, and let him go.”</woj> <h3>The Plot to Kill Jesus</h3> 45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they made plans to put him to death. 54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples. 55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves. 56 They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?” 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

John 11:1

Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of <cr>1</cr>Mary and her sister Martha.

<cr>1</cr>It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

John 11:2

So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, <cr>1</cr>he whom you love is ill.”

John 11:3

But when Jesus heard it he said, <woj><cr>1</cr>“This illness does not lead to death. It is for <cr>2</cr>the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”</woj>

John 11:4

Now <cr>1</cr>Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

John 11:5

So, when he heard that Lazarus<ft>1</ft> was ill, <cr>1</cr>he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

John 11:6

Then after this he said to the disciples, <woj><cr>1</cr>“Let us go to Judea again.”</woj>

John 11:7

The disciples said to him, <cr>1</cr>“Rabbi, <cr>2</cr>the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?”

John 11:8

Jesus answered, <woj><cr>1</cr>“Are there not twelve hours in the day? <cr>2</cr>If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.</woj>

John 11:9

<woj>But <cr>1</cr>if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not <cr>2</cr>in him.”</woj>

John 11:10

After saying these things, he said to them, <woj>“Our friend Lazarus <cr>1</cr>has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.”</woj>

John 11:11

The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

John 11:12

Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.

John 11:13

Then Jesus told them plainly, <woj>“Lazarus has died,</woj>

John 11:14

<woj>and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”</woj>

John 11:15

<cr>1</cr>So Thomas, called the Twin,<ft>1</ft> said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, <cr>2</cr>that we may die with him.”

John 11:16

John 11:17

Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb <cr>1</cr>four days.

Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles<ft>1</ft> off,

John 11:18

and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary <cr>1</cr>to console them concerning their brother.

John 11:19

<cr>1</cr>So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.

John 11:20

Martha said to <cr>1</cr>Jesus, “Lord, <cr>2</cr>if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

John 11:21

But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, <cr>1</cr>God will give you.”

John 11:22

Jesus said to her, <woj>“Your brother will rise again.”</woj>

John 11:23

<cr>1</cr>Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in <cr>2</cr>the resurrection on the last day.”

John 11:24

Jesus said to her, <woj><cr>1</cr>“I am the resurrection and <cr>2</cr>the life.<ft>1</ft> Whoever believes in me, <cr>3</cr>though he die, <cr>4</cr>yet shall he live,</woj>

John 11:25

<woj>and everyone who lives and believes in me <cr>1</cr>shall never die. Do you believe this?”</woj>

John 11:26

She said to him, “Yes, Lord; <cr>1</cr>I believe that <cr>2</cr>you are the Christ, the Son of God, <cr>3</cr>who is coming into the world.”

John 11:27

John 11:28

When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, <cr>1</cr>“The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.

John 11:29

Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

John 11:30

When the Jews <cr>1</cr>who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

John 11:31

Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, <cr>1</cr>“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

John 11:32

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he <cr>1</cr>was deeply moved<ft>1</ft> in his spirit and <cr>2</cr>greatly troubled.

John 11:33

And he said, <woj>“Where have you laid him?”</woj> They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”

John 11:34

John 11:35

So the Jews said, “See <cr>1</cr>how he loved him!”

John 11:36

But some of them said, “Could not he <cr>1</cr>who opened the eyes of the blind man <cr>2</cr>also have kept this man from dying?”

John 11:37

John 11:38

Then Jesus, <cr>1</cr>deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was <cr>2</cr>a cave, and <cr>3</cr>a stone lay against it.

Jesus said, <woj>“Take away the stone.”</woj> Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for <cr>1</cr>he has been dead four days.”

John 11:39

Jesus said to her, <woj><cr>1</cr>“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see <cr>2</cr>the glory of God?”</woj>

John 11:40

So they took away the stone. And Jesus <cr>1</cr>lifted up his eyes and said, <woj>“Father, I thank you that you have heard me.</woj>

John 11:41

<woj><cr>1</cr>I knew that you always hear me, but I said this <cr>2</cr>on account of the people standing around, <cr>3</cr>that they may believe that you sent me.”</woj>

John 11:42

When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, <woj>“Lazarus, come out.”</woj>

John 11:43

<cr>1</cr>The man who had died came out, <cr>2</cr>his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and <cr>3</cr>his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, <woj>“Unbind him, and let him go.”</woj>

John 11:44

John 11:45

<cr>1</cr>Many of the Jews therefore, <cr>2</cr>who had come with Mary and <cr>3</cr>had seen what he did, believed in him,

but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

John 11:46

So the chief priests and the Pharisees <cr>1</cr>gathered <cr>2</cr>the council and said, <cr>3</cr>“What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.

John 11:47

If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and <cr>1</cr>the Romans will come and take away both our <cr>2</cr>place and our nation.”

John 11:48

But one of them, <cr>1</cr>Caiaphas, <cr>2</cr>who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all.

John 11:49

Nor do you understand that <cr>1</cr>it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.”

John 11:50

He did not say this of his own accord, but <cr>1</cr>being high priest that year <cr>2</cr>he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

John 11:51

and <cr>1</cr>not for the nation only, but also <cr>2</cr>to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

John 11:52

So from that day on they <cr>1</cr>made plans to put him to death.

John 11:53

Jesus therefore <cr>1</cr>no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.

John 11:54

Now <cr>1</cr>the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and <cr>2</cr>many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover <cr>3</cr>to purify themselves.

John 11:55

<cr>1</cr>They were looking for<ft>1</ft> Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?”

John 11:56

Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.

John 11:57

 1 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of  Mary and her sister Martha. 2  It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord,  he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said,  “This illness does not lead to death.

Whoever believes in me,  though he die,  yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me  shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord;  I believe that  you are the Christ, the Son of God,  who is coming into the world.” 28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private,  “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 When the Jews  who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him,  “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he  was deeply moved  in his spirit and  greatly troubled. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35  Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See  how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he  who opened the eyes of the blind man  also have kept this man from dying?” 38 Then Jesus,  deeply moved again, came to the tomb.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
