Chapter 11 of John—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
  2. And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
  3. The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
  4. But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
  5. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
  6. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.
  7. Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
  8. The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
  9. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
  10. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
  11. These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
  12. The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will [a]recover.
  13. Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.
  14. Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
  15. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
  16. Thomas therefore, who is called [b]Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
  17. ¶ So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
  18. Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
  19. and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
  20. Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.
  21. Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
  22. And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.
  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 on me, though he die, yet shall he live;
  26. and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?
  27. She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world.
  28. And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary [c]her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee.
  29. And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.
  30. (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)
  31. The Jews then 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, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to [d]weep there.
  32. Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, 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 [e]weeping, and the Jews also [f]weeping who came with her, he [g]groaned in the spirit, and [h]was troubled,
  34. and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see.
  35. Jesus wept.
  36. The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
  37. But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?
  38. Jesus therefore again [i]groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay [j]against it.
  39. Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time [k]the body decayeth; for he hath been dead four days.
  40. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
  41. So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me.
  42. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.
  43. And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
  44. He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with [l]grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
  45. ¶ Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld [m]that which he did, believed on him.
  46. But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
  47. ¶ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs.
  48. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
  49. But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
  50. nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
  51. Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
  52. and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.
  53. So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.
  54. ¶ Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples.
  55. Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves.
  56. They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?
  57. Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
