KJV <Strong's #> - 13 Hear <08085>, ye [that are] far <07350> off, what <0834> I have done <06213>; and, ye [that are] near <07138>, acknowledge <03045> my might <01369>.

20 Look <02372> upon Zion <06726>, the city <07151> of our solemnities <04150>: thine eyes <05869> shall see <07200> Jerusalem <03389> a quiet <07600> habitation <05116>, a tabernacle <0168> [that] shall not be taken <06813> down; not one of the stakes <03489> thereof shall ever <05331> be removed <05265>, neither <01077> shall any <03605> of the cords <02256> thereof be broken <05423>.

24 And the inhabitant <07934> shall not say <0559>, I am sick <02470>: the people <05971> that dwell <03427> therein [shall be] forgiven <05375> [their] iniquity <05771>.

KJV - 13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

NRSV - 13 Hear, you who are far away, what I have done; and you who are near, acknowledge my might.

20 Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals! Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, an immovable tent, whose stakes will never be pulled up, and none of whose ropes will be broken.

24 And no inhabitant will say, "I am sick"; the people who live there will be forgiven their iniquity.

TEV - "The LORD Warns His Enemies" - 10 The LORD says to the nations, "Now I will act. I will show how powerful I am. 11 You make worthless plans and everything you do is useless. My spirit is like a fire that will destroy you. 12 You will crumble like rocks burned to make lime, like thorns burned to ashes. 13 Let everyone near and far hear what I have done and acknowledge my power."

"The Glorious Future" - 17 Once again you will see a king ruling in splendor over a land that stretches in all directions. 18 Your old fears of foreign tax collectors and spies will be only a memory. 19 You will no longer see any arrogant foreigners who speak a language that you can't understand. 20 Look at Zion, the city where we celebrate our religious festivals. Look at Jerusalem! What a safe place it will be to live in! It will be like a tent that is never moved, whose pegs are never pulled up and whose ropes never break. 21 The LORD will show us his glory. We will live beside broad rivers and streams, but hostile ships will not sail on them. 22...23 All the rigging on those ships is useless; the sails cannot be spread! We will seize all the wealth of enemy armies, and there will be so much that even lame men can get a share. The LORD himself will be our king; he will rule over us and protect us. 24 No one who lives in our land will ever again complain of being sick, and all sins will be forgiven.

• Isa 33:24
• Zec 12:8

KJV <Strong's #> - 1 O LORD <03068>, thou [art] my God <0430>; I will exalt <07311> thee, I will praise <03034> thy name <08034>; for thou hast done <06213> wonderful <06382> [things; thy] counsels <06098> of old <07350> [are] faithfulness <0530> [and] truth <0544>.

8 He will swallow <01104> up death <04194> in victory <05331>; and the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will wipe <04229> away tears <01832> from off <05921> all <03605> faces <06440>; and the rebuke <02781> of his people <05971> shall he take <05493> away <05493> from off <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>: for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> [it].

KJV - 1 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things;...

8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

NRSV - 1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things,...

8 Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.

TEV - "A Hymn of Praise" - 1 LORD, you are my God; I will honor you and praise your name. You have done amazing things; you have faithfully carried out the plans you made long ago. 2 You have turned cities into ruins and destroyed their fortifications. The palaces which our enemies built are gone forever. 3 The people of powerful nations will praise you; you will be feared in the cities of cruel nations.

"God Prepares a Banquet" - 6 Here on Mount Zion the LORD Almighty will prepare a banquet for all the nations of the world -- a banquet of the richest food and the finest wine. 7 Here he will suddenly remove the cloud of sorrow that has been hanging over all the nations. 8 The Sovereign LORD will destroy death forever! He will wipe away the tears from everyone's eyes and take away the disgrace his people have suffered throughout the world. The LORD himself has spoken. 9 When it happens, everyone will say, "He is our God! We have put our trust in him, and he has rescued us. He is the LORD! We have put our trust in him, and now we are happy and joyful because he has saved us."

• Isa 25:8 - He will swallow up death
  • Otto Kaiser (Old Testament Library: Isaiah 13-39, Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1974, page 199-201) notes regarding verses 8 that the phrase, " 'He will destroy death for ever' is, as is generally recognized, a later interpolation...," but he further explains:

    A later redactor has correctly interpreted the preceding verses when he adds that God will abolish death itself, the fate which man must must suffer; for as long as people die, there can be no end to mourning and suffering upon the earth. The apostle Paul and the author of the Revelation of John seem to some extent to have agreed with him by using this phrase, or the whole verse, to express the Christian hope of eternal life and the ultimate abolition of death (cf. I Cor. 15.54 and Rev 21.4).

• Isa 25:8
  • 1Co 15:55
  • Rev 7:17

KJV <Strong's #> - 39 Know <03045> therefore <03767> this day <03117>, and consider <07725> [it] in thine heart <03824>, that the LORD <03068> he [is] God <0430> in heaven <08064> above <04605>, and upon the earth <0776> beneath <08478>: [there is] none <0369> else <05750>.

KJV - 39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

NRSV - 39 So acknowledge today and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

TEV - "Warning against Idolatry" - 36 He let you hear his voice from heaven so that he could instruct you; and here on earth he let you see his holy fire, and he spoke to you from it. 37 Because he loved your ancestors, he chose you, and by his great power he himself brought you out of Egypt. 38 As you advanced, he drove out nations greater and more powerful than you, so that he might bring you in and give you their land, the land which still belongs to you. 39 So remember today and never forget: the LORD is God in heaven and on earth. There is no other god. 40 Obey all his laws that I have given you today, and all will go well with you and your descendants. You will continue to live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to be yours forever."

KJV <Strong's #> - 35 And Jesus <2424> went <4013> about <4013> all <3956> the cities <4172> and villages <2968>, teaching <1321> in their synagogues <4864>, and preaching <2784> the gospel <2098> of the kingdom <932>, and healing <2323> every <3956> sickness <3554> and every <3956> disease <3119> among <1722> the people <2992>.

KJV - 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

NRSV - 35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness.

TEV - "Jesus Has Pity for the People" - 35 Jesus went around visiting all the towns and villages. He taught in the synagogues, preached the Good News about the Kingdom, and healed people with every kind of disease and sickness. 36 As he saw the crowds, his heart was filled with pity for them, because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 So he said to his disciples, "The harvest is large, but there are few workers to gather it in. 38 Pray to the owner of the harvest that he will send out workers to gather in his harvest."

KJV <Strong's #> - 24 Another <243> parable <3850> put <3908> he forth <3908> unto them, saying <3004>, The kingdom <932> of heaven <3772> is likened <3666> unto a man <444> which sowed <4687> good <2570> seed <4690> in his field <68>: 25 But while <3588> men <444> slept <2518>, his enemy <2190> came <2064> and sowed <4687> tares <2215> among <3319> the wheat <4621>, and went <565> his way. 26 But when <3753> the blade <5528> was sprung <985> up, and brought <4160> forth <4160> fruit <2590>, then <5119> appeared <5316> the tares <2215> also <2532>. 27 So <1161> the servants <1401> of the householder <3617> came <4334> and said <2036> unto him, Sir <2962>, didst not thou sow <4687> good <2570> seed <4690> in thy field <68>? from whence <4159> then <3767> hath <2192> it tares <2215>? 28 He said <5346> unto them, An enemy <2190> hath done <4160> this <5124>. The servants <1401> said <2036> unto him, Wilt <2309> thou then <3767> that we go <565> and gather <4816> them up? 29 But he said <5346>, Nay <3756>; lest <3379> while ye gather <4816> up the tares <2215>, ye root <1610> up also <260> the wheat <4621> with them. 30 Let <863> both <297> grow <4885> together <4885> until <3360> the harvest <2326>: and in the time <2540> of harvest <2326> I will say <2046> to the reapers <2327>, Gather <4816> ye together <4816> first <4412> the tares <2215>, and bind <1210> them in bundles <1197> to burn <2618> them: but gather <4863> the wheat <4621> into <1519> my barn <596>.

KJV - 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

NRSV - 24 He put before them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, "Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?' 28 He answered, "An enemy has done this.' The slaves said to him, "Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29 But he replied, "No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30 Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn."'

TEV - "The Parable of the Weeds" - 24 Jesus told them another parable: "The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man sowed good seed in his field. 25 One night, when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. 26 When the plants grew and the heads of grain began to form, then the weeds showed up. 27 The man's servants came to him and said, "Sir, it was good seed you sowed in your field; where did the weeds come from?' 28 "It was some enemy who did this,' he answered. "Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?' they asked him. 29 "No,' he answered, "because as you gather the weeds you might pull up some of the wheat along with them. 30 Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them, and then to gather in the wheat and put it in my barn."

KJV <Strong's #> - 9 Whosoever <3588> is born <1080> of God <2316> doth not commit <4160> sin <266>; for his seed <4690> remaineth <3306> in him: and he cannot <1410> sin <264>, because <3754> he is born <1080> of God <2316>.

KJV - 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

NRSV - 9 Those who have been born of God do not sin, because God's seed abides in them; they cannot sin, because they have been born of God.

TEV - "Children of God" - 9 Whoever is a child of God does not continue to sin, for God's very nature is in him; and because God is his Father, he cannot continue to sin. 10 Here is the clear difference between God's children and the Devil's children: anyone who does not do what is right or does not love his brother is not God's child.

• 1Jo 3:9
  • 1Jo 5:18

KJV <Strong's #> - 12 ...the law <3551> [is] holy <40>, and the commandment <1785> holy <40>, and just <1342>, and good <18>.

14 For we know <1492> that the law <3551> is spiritual <4152>: but I am <1510> carnal <4559>, sold <4097> under <5259> sin <266>. 15 For that which <3739> I do <2716> I allow <1097> not: for what <3739> I would <2309>, that do <4238> I not; but what <3739> I hate <3404>, that do <4160> I.

17 Now <3570> then <1161> it is no <3765> more <2089> I that do <2716> it, but sin <266> that dwelleth <3611> in me. 18 For I know <1492> that in me (that is, in my flesh <4561>,) dwelleth <3611> no <3756> good <18> thing: for to will <2309> is present <3873> with me; but [how] to perform <2716> that which is good <2570> I find <2147> not. 19 For the good <18> that I would <2309> I do <4160> not: but the evil <2556> which <3739> I would <2309> not, that I do <4238>. 20 Now <1161> if <1487> I do <4160> that I would <2309> not, it is no <3765> more <2089> I that do <2716> it, but sin <266> that dwelleth <3611> in me. 21 I find <2147> then <686> a law <3551>, that, when I would <2309> do <4160> good <2570>, evil <2556> is present <3873> with me. 22 For I delight <4913> in the law <3551> of God <2316> after <2596> the inward <2080> man <444>: 23 But I see <991> another <2087> law <3551> in my members <3196>, warring <497> against <497> the law <3551> of my mind <3563>, and bringing <163> me into captivity <163> to the law <3551> of sin <266> which <3588> is in my members <3196>. 24 O wretched <5005> man <444> that I am! who <5101> shall deliver <4506> me from the body <4983> of this <5127> death <2288>? 25 I thank <2168> God <2316> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord <2962>....

KJV - 12 ...the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord...

NRSV - 12 ...the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin. 15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.

17 But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. 21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self, 23 but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord...

TEV - "Law and Sin" - 12 So then, the Law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good. 13 But does this mean that what is good caused my death? By no means! It was sin that did it; by using what is good, sin brought death to me, in order that its true nature as sin might be revealed. And so, by means of the commandment sin is shown to be even more terribly sinful.

"The Conflict in Man" - 14 We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a mortal man, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate. 16 Since what I do is what I don't want to do, this shows that I agree that the Law is right. 17 So I am not really the one who does this thing; rather it is the sin that lives in me. 18 I know that good does not live in me -- that is, in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it. 19 I don't do the good I want to do; instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do. 20 If I do what I don't want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it; instead, it is the sin that lives in me. 21 So I find that this law is at work: when I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have. 22 My inner being delights in the law of God. 23 But I see a different law at work in my body -- a law that fights against the law which my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin which is at work in my body. 24 What an unhappy man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is taking me to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who does this through our Lord Jesus Christ! This, then, is my condition: on my own I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin. Life in the Spirit

KJV <Strong's #> - 1 ...there was a feast <1859> of the Jews <2453>; and Jesus <2424> went <305> up to Jerusalem <2414>. 2 Now <1161> there is at <1722> Jerusalem <2414> by the sheep <4262> [market] [gate] a pool <2861>, which <3588> is called <1951> in the Hebrew <1447> tongue <1447> Bethesda <964> [Bethzatha <964a>], having <2192> five <4002> porches <4745>. 3 In these <5025> lay <2621> a great <4183> multitude <4128> of impotent <770> folk, of blind <5185>, halt <5560>, withered <3584>, waiting <1551> for the moving <2796> of the water <5204>. 4 For an angel <32> went <2597> down <2597> at <2596> a certain season <2540> into <1722> the pool <2861>, and troubled <5015> the water <5204>: whosoever <3588> then <3767> first <4413> after <3326> the troubling <5016> of the water <5204> stepped <1684> in was made <1096> whole <5199> of whatsoever <1221> disease <3553> he had <2722>. 5 And a certain <5100> man <444> was there <1563>, which had <2192> an <3588> [his <846> <3588>] infirmity <769> thirty <5144> and eight <3638> years <2094>. 6 When Jesus <2424> saw <1492> him lie <2621>, and knew <1097> that he had been <2192> now <2235> a long <4183> time <5550> [in that case], he saith <3004> unto him, Wilt <2309> thou be made <1096> whole <5199>? 7 The impotent <770> man answered <611> him, Sir <2962>, I have <2192> no <3756> man <444>, when <3752> the water <5204> is troubled <5015>, to put <906> me into <1519> the pool <2861>: but while <3739> I am coming <2064>, another <243> steppeth <2597> down <2597> before <4253> me. 8 Jesus <2424> saith <3004> unto him, Rise <1453>, take <142> up thy bed <2895>, and walk <4043>. 9 And immediately <2112> the man <444> was made <1096> whole <5199>, and took <142> up his bed <2895>, and walked <4043>:...

KJV - 1 ...there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] [gate] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda [Bethzatha], having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an [his] infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:...

NRSV - 1 ...there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. 3 In these lay many invalids -- blind, lame, and paralyzed. 4 [ Omitted in NRSV ] 5 One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" 7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me." 8 Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." 9 At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk....

TEV - "The Healing at the Pool" - 1 After this, Jesus went to Jerusalem for a religious festival. 2 Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there is a pool with five porches; in Hebrew it is called Bethzatha. 3 A large crowd of sick people were lying on the porches -- the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed. 5 A man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years. 6 Jesus saw him lying there, and he knew that the man had been sick for such a long time; so he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" 7 The sick man answered, "Sir, I don't have anyone here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first." 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk." 9 Immediately the man got well; he picked up his mat and started walking. The day this happened was a Sabbath, 10 so the Jewish authorities told the man who had been healed, "This is a Sabbath, and it is against our Law for you to carry your mat." 11 He answered, "The man who made me well told me to pick up my mat and walk." 12 They asked him, "Who is the man who told you to do this?" 13 But the man who had been healed did not know who Jesus was, for there was a crowd in that place, and Jesus had slipped away.

KJV <Strong's #> - 4 When Jesus <2424> heard <191> [that], he said <2036>, This <3778> sickness <769> is not unto death <2288>, but for the glory <1391> of God <2316>, that the Son <5207> of God <2316> might be glorified <1392> thereby <846>.

17 Then <3767> when Jesus <2424> came <2064>, he found <2147> that he had [lain] in the grave <3419> four <5064> days <2250> already <2235>.

21 Then <3767> said <2036> Martha <3136> unto Jesus <2424>, Lord <2962>, if <1487> thou hadst been <2258> here <5602>, my brother <80> had not died <2348> would not have died <3756 + 302 + 599>.

23 Jesus <2424> saith <3004> unto her, Thy brother <80> shall rise <450> again <450>. 24 Martha <3136> saith <3004> unto him, I know <1492> that he shall rise <450> again <450> in the resurrection <386> at <1722> the last <2078> day <2250>. 25 Jesus <2424> said <2036> unto her, I am <1510> the resurrection <386>, and the life <2222>: he that believeth <4100> in me, though <2579> he were dead <599>, yet shall he live <2198>: 26 And whosoever <3588> liveth <2198> and believeth <4100> in me shall never <165> die <599>...

32 Then <3767> when <5613> Mary <3137> was come <2064> where <3699> Jesus <2424> was, and saw <1492> him, she fell <4098> down at <1519> his feet <4228>, saying <3004> unto him, Lord <2962>, if <1487> thou hadst been <2258> here <5602>, my brother <80> had not died <599>. 33 When <5613> Jesus <2424> therefore <3767> saw <1492> her weeping <2799>, and the Jews <2453> also <2532> weeping <2799> which came <4905> with her, he groaned <1690> in the spirit <4151>, and was troubled <5015>, 34 And said <2036>, Where <4226> have ye laid <5087> him? They said <3004> unto him, Lord <2962>, come <2064> and see <1492>.

38 Jesus <2424> therefore <3767> again <3825> groaning <1690> in himself <1438> cometh <2064> to the grave <3419>. It was a cave <4693>, and a stone <3037> lay <1945> upon it. 39 Jesus <2424> said <3004>, Take <142> ye away the stone <3037>...

41 Then <3767> they took <142> away the stone <3037> [from the place] where <3757> the dead <2348> was laid <2749>. And Jesus <2424> lifted <142> up <507> [his] eyes <3788>, and said <2036>, Father <3962>, I thank <2168> thee that thou hast heard <191> me. 42 And I knew <1492> that thou hearest <191> me always <3842>: but because <1223> of the people <3793> which <3588> stand <4026> by I said <2036> [it], that they may believe <4100> that thou hast sent <649> me. 43 And when he thus <5023> had spoken <2036>, he cried <2905> with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, Lazarus <2976>, come <1204> forth <1854>. 44 And he that was dead <2348> came <1831> forth <1831>, bound <1210> hand <5495> and foot <4228> with graveclothes <2750>: and his face <3799> was bound <4019> about <4019> with a napkin <4676>. Jesus <2424> saith <3004> unto them, Loose <3089> him, and let <863> him go <5217>.

KJV - 1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died [would not have died].

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die...

32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone...

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

NRSV - 4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.

21 Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die...

32 When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34 He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see."

38 Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone."...

41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me." 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 cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

TEV - "The Death of Lazarus" - 1 A man named Lazarus, who lived in Bethany, became sick. Bethany was the town where Mary and her sister Martha lived. (2 This Mary was the one who poured the perfume on the Lord's feet and wiped them with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.) 3 The sisters sent Jesus a message: "Lord, your dear friend is sick." 4 When Jesus heard it, he said, "The final result of this sickness will not be the death of Lazarus; this has happened in order to bring glory to God, and it will be the means by which the Son of God will receive glory." 5 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 Yet when he received the news that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days. 7 Then he said to the disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."

"Jesus the Resurrection and the Life" - 17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been buried four days before. 18 Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, 19 and many Judeans had come to see Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother's death. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, "If you had been here, Lord, my brother would not have died! 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask him for." 23 "Your brother will rise to life," Jesus told her. 24 "I know," she replied, "that he will rise to life on the last day." 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" 27 "Yes, Lord!" she answered. "I do believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

"Jesus Weeps" - 28 After Martha said this, she went back and called her sister Mary privately. "The Teacher is here," she told her, "and is asking for you." 29 When Mary heard this, she got up and hurried out to meet him. (30 Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.) 31 The people who were in the house with Mary comforting her followed her when they saw her get up and hurry out. They thought that she was going to the grave to weep there. 32 Mary arrived where Jesus was, and as soon as she saw him, she fell at his feet. "Lord," she said, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died!" 33 Jesus saw her weeping, and he saw how the people with her were weeping also; his heart was touched, and he was deeply moved. 34 "Where have you buried him?" he asked them. "Come and see, Lord," they answered. 35 Jesus wept. 36 "See how much he loved him!" the people said. 37 But some of them said, "He gave sight to the blind man, didn't he? Could he not have kept Lazarus from dying?"

"Lazarus Is Brought to Life" - 38 Deeply moved once more, Jesus went to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone placed at the entrance. 39 "Take the stone away!" Jesus ordered. Martha, the dead man's sister, answered, "There will be a bad smell, Lord. He has been buried four days!" 40 Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believed?" 41 They took the stone away. Jesus looked up and said, "I thank you, Father, that you listen to me. 42 I know that you always listen to me, but I say this for the sake of the people here, so that they will believe that you sent me." 43 After he had said this, he called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44 He came out, his hands and feet wrapped in grave cloths, and with a cloth around his face. "Untie him," Jesus told them, "and let him go."

TEV - "Words of Hope" - 1 "Comfort my people," says our God. "Comfort them! 2 Encourage the people of Jerusalem. Tell them they have suffered long enough and their sins are now forgiven.

Clear the way in the desert for our God! 4 Fill every valley; level every mountain. The hills will become a plain, and the rough country will be made smooth. 5 Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind will see it. The LORD himself has promised this."

Your sons will come from far away; Your daughters will be carried like children. 5 You will see this and be filled with joy; You will tremble with excitement. The wealth of the nations will be brought to you; From across the sea their riches will come.

I will remove everyone who is proud and arrogant, and you will never again rebel against me on my sacred hill. 12 I will leave there a humble and lowly people, who will come to me for help. 13 The people of Israel who survive will do no wrong to anyone, tell no lies, nor try to deceive. They will be prosperous and secure, afraid of no one."

Do not let your hands hang limp!
