1 Y había un enfermo llamado Lázaro de Bethania, aldea de María y de Martha su hermana.
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Y María era la que había ungido al Señor con ungüento, y limpiado sus pies con sus cabellos: cuyo hermano Lázaro estaba enfermo.
2 It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 Enviáron pues sus hermanas á decir á Jesús: Señor, he aquí el que amas está enfermo.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, “Lord, behold, he for whom you have great affection is sick.”
4 Y quando lo oyó Jesús, les dixo: Esta enfermedad no es para muerte, sino para gloria de Dios, para que sea glorificado el Hijo de Dios por ella.
4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Y amaba Jesús á Martha, y á María su hermana, y á Lázaro.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Y quando oyó que estaba enfermo, se detuvo aún dos días en aquel lugar.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Y pasados estos dixo á sus discípulos: Vamos otra vez á Judéa.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 Los discípulos le dixéron: ¿Maestro, ahora querían apedrearte los Judíos, y vas allá otra vez?
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 Jesús respondió: ¿Por ventura no son doce las horas del día? El que anduviere de día, no tropieza, porque vé la luz de éste mundo.
9 Jesus answered, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Mas si anduviere de noche, tropieza, porque no hay luz en él.
10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn’t in him.”
11 Esto dixo, y después les dixo: Lázaro nuestro amigo duerme: mas voy á dispertarle del sueño.
11 He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”
12 Y dixéron sus discípulos: Señor si duerme, será sano.
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Mas Jesús había hablado de su muerte: y ellos entendiéron, que decía del dormir de sueño.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Entónces Jesús les dixo abiertamente: Lázaro es muerto:
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Y me huelgo por vosotros de no haber estado allí, para que creáis. Mas vamos á él.
15 I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”
16 Dixo entónces Thomas, llamado Dydimo, á los otros condiscípulos: Vamos también nosotros, y muramos con él.
16 Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”
17 Vino pues Jesús, y halló que había ya quatro días que estaba en el sepulchro.
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Y Bethania distaba de Jerusalém como unos quince estadios.
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 Y muchos Judíos habian venido á Martha y á María, para consolarlas de su hermano.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Martha pues quando oyó que venía Jesús, le salió á recibir: mas María se quedó en casa.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Y Martha dixo á Jesús: Señor, si hubieras estado aquí, mi hermano no hubiera muerto:
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22 Mas también sé ahora, que todo lo que pidieres á Dios, te lo otorgará Dios.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Jesús le dixo: Resucitará tu hermano.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha le dice: Bien sé que resucitará en la resurrección en el último día.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesús le dixo: Yo soy la resurrección y la vida: el que cree en mí, aunque hubiere muerto, vivirá.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
26 Y todo aquel, que vive, y cree en mí, no morirá jamas. ¿Crees esto?
26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 Ella le dixo: Sí Señor, yo he creido, que tú eres el Christo el Hijo de Dios vivo, que has venido á éste mundo.
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
28 Y dicho esto, fué y llamó en secreto á María su hermana, y dixo: El Maestro está aquí, y te llama.
28 When she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you.”
29 Ella quando lo oyó, se levantó luego, y fué á él.
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Porqué Jesús aún no había llegado á la aldea, sino que se estaba en aquel lugar, en donde Martha habia salido á recibirle.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 Los Judíos pues, que estaban en la casa con ella, y la consolaban, quando viéron que María se había levantado apresurada, y habia salido, la siguiéron, diciendo: Al sepulchro va á llorar allí.
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Y María quando llegó á donde Jesús estaba, luego que le vió, se postró á sus pies, y le dice: Señor, si hubieras estado aquí, mi hermano no hubiera muerto.
32 Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”
33 Jesús quando la vió llorando, y que también lloraban los Judios que habian venido con ella, gimió en su ánimo, y se turbó á sí mismo.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 Y dixo: ¿En dónde le pusisteis? Le dicen: Ven, Señor, y lo verás.
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Y lloró Jesús.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Y dixéron entonces los Judíos: Ved como le amaba.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 Y algunos de ellos dixéron: ¿Pues éste que abrió los ojos del que nació ciego, no pudiera hacer que éste no muriese?
37 Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Mas Jesús gimiendo otra vez en sí mismo, fué al sepulchro. Era una gruta: y habían puesto una losa sobre ella.
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Dixo Jesús: Quitad la losa. Martha, que era hermana del difunto, le dice: Señor, ya yede, porque es muerto de quatro días.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Jesús le dixo: ¿No te he dicho, que si creyéres, verás la gloria de Dios?
40 Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God’s glory?”
41 Quitáron pues la losa: y Jesús alzando los ojos á lo alto, dixo: Padre gracias te doy porque me has oido.
41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Yo bien sabia que siempre me oyes: mas por el pueblo, que está al rededor lo dixe: para que crean que tú me has enviado.
42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 Y habiendo dicho esto, gritó en alta voz, diciendo: Lázaro, ven fuera.
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Y en el mismo punto salió el que había estado muerto, atados los pies y las manos con vendas, y cubierto el rostro con un sudario. Jesús les dixo: Desatadle, y dexadle ir.
44 He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”
45 Muchos pues de los Judíos, que habian venido á ver á María y á Martha, y viéron lo que hizo Jesús, creyéron en él.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 Mas algunos de ellos se fuéron á los Phariséos, y les dixéron lo que habia hecho Jesús.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Y los Príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los Phariséos juntáron concilio, y decian: ¿Qué hacemos, porque éste hombre hace muchos milagros?
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Si lo dexamos así creerán todos en él: y vendrán los Romanos, y arruinarán nuestra ciudad y nación.
48 If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 Mas uno de ellos, llamado Caiphás, que era el Sumo Pontífice de aquel año, les dixo: Vosotros sabeis nada,
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 Ni pensais que os conviene, que muera un hombre por el pueblo, y no que toda la nación perezca.
50 nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish.”
51 Mas esto no lo dixo de sí mismo; sino que siendo Sumo Pontífice aquel año, prophetizó, que Jesús habia de morir por la nación,
51 Now he didn’t say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 Y no solamente por la nación, mas también para juntar en uno los hijos de Dios, que estaban dispersos.
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Y así desde aquel día pensáron cómo le darían la muerte.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 Por lo qual no se mostraba ya Jesús en público entre los Judíos, sino que se retiró á un territorio cerca del desierto á una ciudad, llamada Ephrem; y allí moraba con sus discípulos.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. He stayed there with his disciples.
55 Y estaba ya cerca la Pascua de los Judíos: y muchos de aquella tierra subiéron á Jerusalém antes de la Pascua, para purificarse.
55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand. Many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Y buscaban á Jesús: y se decían unos á otros, estando en el templo: ¿Qué os parece, de que no haya venido á la fiesta?
56 Then they sought for Jesus and spoke with one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that he isn’t coming to the feast at all?”
57 Y los Príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los Phariséos habían dado mandamiento que si alguno sabía en dónde estaba, lo manifestase para prenderle.
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had commanded that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might seize him.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Among all the miracles wrought by our Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of Lazarus holds a foremost place in preaching. But if we consider attentively who did it, our duty is to rejoice rather than to wonder.

Many men, when they see any of those who are pleasing to God suffering anything terrible, as, for instance, having fallen into sickness, or poverty, and any other the like, are offended, not knowing that to those especially dear to God it belongeth to endure these things; since Lazarus also was one of the friends of Christ, and was sick.

Then, when He had raised Lazarus from the dead, and plots were formed against Him by the Pharisees, He withdrew to a city called Ephraim; and from that place, as it is written "He came to Bethany six days before the passover," and going up from Bethany to Jerusalem, He there ate the passover, and suffered on the day following.
When, therefore, we read in the Gospel that the hard-heartedness of the Jews moved Him to sorrowful indignation, that He said, "I am glad for your sakes, to the intent ye may believe," that when about to raise Lazarus He even shed tears, that He earnestly desired to eat the passover with His disciples, that as His passion drew near …

… Lazarus, added also a prayer; and then, lest this should make Him appear less than Him that begat Him, He, to correct this suspicion, added, "I said these things, because of the people which standeth by, that they may believe that thou hast sent me." And neither doth He work all things as one who acted by His own power, …
