FBV Free Bible Version (Versión Biblia Libre en inglés) WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos) 1 A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters Mary and Martha. 1 ESTABA entonces enfermo uno [llamado] Lázaro, de Bethania, la aldea de María y de Marta su hermana.
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick. 2 (Y María, cuyo hermano Lázaro estaba enfermo, era la que ungió al Señor con ungüento, y limpió sus pies con sus cabellos.)
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 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus: “Lord, your close friend is sick.” 3 Enviaron, pues, sus hermanas á él, diciendo: 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 When Jesus heard the news he said, “The end result of this sickness will not be death. Through this God's glory will be revealed so that the Son of God may be glorified.” 4 Y oyéndolo Jesús, dijo: Esta enfermedad no es para muerte, mas por gloria de Dios, para que el Hijo de Dios sea glorificado 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 Even though Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, 5 Y amaba Jesús á Marta, y á su hermana, y á Lázaro.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 and had heard that Lazarus was sick, he remained where he was for two more days. 6 Como oyó pues que estaba enfermo, quedóse aún dos días en aquel lugar donde estaba.
6 When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Then he told the disciples, “Let's return to Judea.” 7 Luego, después de esto, dijo á los discípulos: Vamos á Judea otra vez.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again.”
8 The disciples replied, “Rabbi, just a few days ago the Jews were trying to stone you. Do you really want to go back there now?” 8 Dícenle los discípulos: Rabbí, ahora procuraban los Judíos apedrearte, ¿y otra vez vas allá?
8 The disciples asked him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
9 “Aren't there twelve hours in a day?” Jesus replied. 9 Respondió Jesús: ¿No tiene el día doce horas? El que anduviere de día, no tropieza, porque ve la luz de este 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 “If you walk during the day you don't stumble because you can see where you're going by the light of this world. But if you walk during the night you stumble because you have no light.” 10 Mas el que 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 After telling them this, he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I'm going to go there and wake him up!” 11 Dicho esto, díceles después: Lázaro nuestro amigo duerme; mas voy á despertarle 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 The disciples said, “Lord, if he's sleeping then he'll get better.” 12 Dijeron entonces sus discípulos: Señor, si duerme, salvo estará.
12 The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Jesus had been referring to the death of Lazarus, but the disciples thought he meant actual sleep. 13 Mas [esto] decía Jesús de la muerte de él: y ellos pensaron que hablaba del reposar del sueño.
13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 14 Entonces, pues, Jesús les dijo claramente: Lázaro es muerto;
14 So Jesus said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.
15 For your sake I'm glad I wasn't there, because now you will be able to trust in me. Let's go and see him.” 15 Y huélgome por vosotros, que yo no haya 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 Thomas, the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, “Let's go too so we can die with him.” 16 Dijo entonces Tomás, el que se dice el Dídimo, á sus condiscípulos: Vamos también nosotros, para que 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 When he arrived, Jesus learned that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days. 17 Vino pues Jesús, y halló que había ya cuatro días que estaba en el sepulcro.
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Bethany was just two miles from Jerusalem, 18 Y Bethania estaba cerca de Jerusalem, como quince estadios;
18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19 and many Jews had come to console Mary and Martha at the loss of their brother. 19 Y muchos de los Judíos habían venido á Marta y á María, á consolarlas de su hermano.
19 Many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 When Martha found out that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. 20 Entonces Marta, como oyó que Jesús venía, salió á encontrarle; mas María se estuvo en casa.
20 Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died. 21 Y Marta dijo á Jesús: Señor, si hubieses estado aquí, mi hermano no fuera muerto;
21 Therefore Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.
22 But I'm certain that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” 22 Mas también sé ahora, que todo lo que pidieres de Dios, te dará Dios.
22 Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.” 23 Dícele Jesús: Resucitará tu hermano.
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day,” Martha answered. 24 Marta le dice: Yo sé que resucitará en la resurrección en el día postrero.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who trust in me will live, even though they die. 25 Dícele Jesús: Yo soy la resurrección y la vida: el que cree en mí, aunque esté 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 All who live in me and trust in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 26 Y todo aquel que vive y cree en mí, no morirá eternamente. ¿Crees esto?
26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one expected to come to this world.” 27 Dícele: Sí, Señor; yo he creído que tú eres el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios, que has venido al 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 When she had said this, she went and told her sister Mary in private, “The Teacher's here, and asking to see you.” 28 Y esto dicho, fuése, y llamó en secreto á María su hermana, diciendo: 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 As soon as she heard, Mary quickly got up and went to see him. 29 Ella, como lo oyó, levántase prestamente y viene á él.
29 When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.
30 Jesus hadn't arrived in the village yet. He was still at the place where Martha had met him. 30 (Que aun no había llegado Jesús á la aldea, mas estaba en aquel lugar donde Marta le había encontrado.)
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews who had been comforting Mary in the home saw how she'd got up quickly and left. So they followed her, thinking she was going to the tomb to weep there. 31 Entonces los Judíos que estaban en casa con ella, y la consolaban, como vieron que María se había levantado prestamente, y había salido, siguiéronla, diciendo: Va al sepulcro 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 When Mary arrived at the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you'd been here, my brother wouldn't have died.” 32 Mas María, como vino donde estaba Jesús, viéndole, derribóse á sus pies, diciéndole: Señor, si hubieras estado aquí, no fuera muerto mi hermano.
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 When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying as well, he was very troubled and upset. 33 Jesús entonces, como la vió llorando, y á los Judíos que habían venido juntamente con ella llorando, se conmovió en espíritu, y turbóse,
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. They replied, “Lord, come and see.” 34 Y dijo: ¿Dónde le pusisteis? Dícenle: Señor, ven, y ve.
34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Y lloró Jesús.
35 Jesus wept.
36 “See how much he loved him,” the Jews said. 36 Dijeron entonces los Judíos: Mirad cómo le amaba.
36 The Jews therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
37 But some of them said, “If he could open the eyes of a blind man, couldn't he have kept Lazarus from dying?” 37 Y algunos de ellos dijeron: ¿No podía éste que abrió los ojos al ciego, hacer que éste no muriera?
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 Very troubled, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a large stone placed at the entrance. 38 Y Jesús, conmoviéndose otra vez en sí mismo, vino al sepulcro. Era una cueva, la cual tenía una piedra encima.
38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 “Remove the stone,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, said, “Lord, by now there will be a terrible smell, for he's been dead for four days.” 39 Dice Jesús: Quitad la piedra. Marta, la hermana del que se había muerto, le dice: Señor, hiede ya, que es de cuatro 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 “Didn't I tell you that if you trusted me you would see God's glory?” Jesus replied. 40 Jesús le dice: ¿No te he dicho que, si creyeres, 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 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked heavenwards, and said, “Father, thank you for listening to me. 41 Entonces quitaron la piedra de donde el muerto había sido puesto. Y Jesús, alzando los ojos arriba, dijo: Padre, gracias te doy que me has oído.
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 I know you always listen to me. I said this because of the crowd standing here so that they will believe that you sent me.” 42 Que yo sabía que siempre me oyes; mas por causa de la compañía que está alrededor, lo dije, 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 After saying this, Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 43 Y habiendo dicho estas cosas, clamó á gran voz: Lázaro, ven fuera.
43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of linen, and with a cloth around his face. “Unbind him and set him free,” Jesus told them. 44 Y el que había estado muerto, salió, atadas las manos y los pies con vendas; y su rostro estaba envuelto en un sudario. Díceles Jesús: Desatadle, y dejadle 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 Consequently many of the Jews who had come to comfort Mary and who saw what Jesus did put their trust in him. 45 Entonces muchos de los Judíos que habían venido á María, y habían visto lo que había hecho Jesús, creyeron en él.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did believed in him.
46 But others went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 46 Mas algunos de ellos fueron á los Fariseos, y dijéronles lo que Jesús había hecho.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the ruling council. “What shall we do?” they asked. “This man is doing many miracles. 47 Entonces los pontífices y los Fariseos juntaron concilio, y decían: ¿Qué hacemos? porque este hombre hace muchas señales.
47 The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 If we allow him to continue, everybody will believe in him, and then the Romans will destroy both the Temple and our status as a nation.” 48 Si le dejamos así, todos creerán en él: y vendrán los Romanos, y quitarán nuestro lugar y la 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 “You don't understand anything!” said Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 49 Y Caifás, uno de ellos, sumo pontífice de aquel año, les dijo: Vosotros no sabéis nada;
49 But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
50 “Can't you see that it's better for you that one man die for the people so that the whole nation won't be destroyed?” 50 Ni pensáis que nos conviene que un hombre muera por el pueblo, y no que toda la nación se pierda.
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 He didn't say this on his own behalf, but as chief priest that year he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation. 51 Mas esto no lo dijo de sí mismo; sino que, como era el sumo pontífice de aquel año, profetizó que Jesús había 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 And this was not just for the Jewish nation, but for all the scattered children of God so that they might be gathered together and be made into one. 52 Y no solamente por aquella nación, mas también para que juntase en uno los hijos de Dios que estaban derramados.
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 From that time on they made plans as to how they might kill Jesus. 53 Así que, desde aquel día consultaban juntos de matarle.
53 So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.
54 So Jesus did not travel openly among the Jews but went to a town called Ephraim in the region near the desert and stayed there with his disciples. 54 Por tanto, Jesús ya no andaba manifiestamente entre los Judíos; mas fuése de allí á la tierra que está junto al desierto, á una ciudad que se llama Ephraim: y estábase allí 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 It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover, and many people went from the countryside to Jerusalem to purify themselves for the Passover. 55 Y la Pascua de los Judíos estaba cerca: y muchos subieron de aquella tierra á Jerusalem 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 People were looking for Jesus and talking about him as they stood in the Temple. “What do you think?” they asked each other. “Isn't he coming to the festival?” 56 Y buscaban á Jesús, y hablaban los unos con los otros estando en el templo: ¿Qué os parece, que no vendrá 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 The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it so they could arrest him. 57 Y los pontífices y los Fariseos habían dado mandamiento, que si alguno supiese dónde estuviera, lo manifestase, para que le prendiesen.
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.
