37 But some of them said, “Was not this man having opened the eyes of the blind able to have caused that this one also should not have died?”
38 So Jesus, being deeply moved in Himself again, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39 Jesus says, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one having died, says to Him, “Lord, he stinks already, for it is four days.”
40 Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you should believe, you will see the glory of God?”
41 So they took away the stone. Now Jesus lifted His eyes upwards and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
42 And I knew that always You hear Me; but I said it on account of the crowd standing around, that they may believe that You sent Me.”
43 And having said these things, He cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
44 The one having been dead came forth, the feet and hands being bound with linen strips, and his face bound about with a soudarion. Jesus says to them, “Unbind him and allow him to go.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews having come to Mary, and having seen what He did, believed in Him.
46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and were saying, “What are we to do? For this man does many signs.
48 If we shall let Him alone like this, all will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and will take away both our place and nation.”
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest the same year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 nor do you consider that it is profitable for you that one man should die for the people, and the whole nation should not perish.”
51 Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
52 and not for the nation only, but also that children of God, those having been scattered, He might gather together into one.
53 So from that day, they took counsel together that they might kill Him.
54 Therefore Jesus no longer walked publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. And there He stayed with the disciples.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the region before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves.
56 Therefore they were seeking Jesus and were saying among one another standing in the temple, “What does it seem to you, that He will not come to the feast?”
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if anyone should know where He is, he should show it, so that they might seize Him.
