1So there's this dude named Lazarus from Bethany, the spot where Mary and Martha vibe.

2(This is the same Mary who blessed the Lord with some fancy oil and dried his feet with her hair, and her bro Lazarus is sick.)

3So, his sisters hit him up, like, "Yo, Lord, the one you love is sick."

4When Jesus heard that, he was like, "This sickness ain't about death, it's for God's glory, so the Son of God can pop off."

5Jesus was totally into Martha, her sis, and Lazarus, no cap.

6When he found out Lazarus was sick, he just chilled for two days in the same spot.

7Then he told his crew, "Alright fam, let's roll back to Judea."

8His disciples were like, "Master, the Jews were just trying to stone you; you really gonna go back?"

9Jesus replied, "Aren't there twelve hours in a day? If you walk in the day, you won’t trip, 'cause you see the light."

10"But if you walk in the dark, you might stumble, 'cause there's no light in you."

11So Jesus was like, "Our homie Lazarus is just chillin' asleep; I’m about to wake him up, no cap."

12The disciples were like, "If he’s sleeping, he’s vibing, right?"

13But Jesus was talking about his death, and they thought he meant he was just getting some rest.

14Then Jesus straight-up said, "Lazarus is dead, fam."

15And I’m low-key glad I wasn’t there so you could believe; let’s roll up to him now.

16Thomas, aka Didymus, was like, "Bet, let’s go die with him."

17When Jesus showed up, he found Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already, fr.

18Bethany was super close to Jerusalem, like a fifteen furlong walk away.

19Lots of Jews came to comfort Martha and Mary about their bro.

20Martha heard Jesus was coming and bounced to meet him, but Mary just stayed home, chillin’.

21Martha was like, "Yo Jesus, if you were here, my bro wouldn't have kicked the bucket."

22But she knew, "Even now, whatever you ask God, He’s got you."

23Jesus was like, "Your brother's gonna rise up, no cap."

24Martha replied, "I know he'll rise on the last day, that's a vibe."

25Jesus said, "I’m the resurrection and the life: if you believe in me, even if you die, you’ll live, periodt."

26"Anyone who lives and believes in me will never die. You feelin' this?"

27She was like, "Yeah, Lord, I believe you’re the GOAT, the Son of God, for real."

28After saying that, she bounced and secretly called her sister Mary, saying, "The Master’s here and wants you."

29As soon as Mary heard that, she got up fast and went to him.

30Jesus hadn’t made it to the town yet, but was in the spot where Martha met him.

31The Jews chillin' with her in the crib saw Mary bounce out fast, like, "She’s going to the grave to cry, fr."

32When Mary hit where Jesus was, she dropped to his feet, like, "Lord, if you were here, my bro wouldn't have kicked the bucket."

33Jesus peeped her crying, and the Jews with her were also in their feels, and he felt it too, no cap.

34He asked, "Where'd you put him?" They were like, "Lord, come check it out."

35Jesus wept.

36The Jews were shook, saying, "Wow, look how much he loved him!"

37Some were like, "Couldn’t this dude who opened blind eyes have saved him from dying?"

38Jesus, feeling heavy again, rolled up to the grave. It was a cave with a stone chillin' in front of it.

39Jesus said, "Move the stone." Martha, the dead guy's sis, was like, "Lord, he’s been dead four days, it’s gonna be rank!"

40Jesus told her, "Didn’t I say if you believe, you’d see God’s glory?"

41They rolled the stone away from where the dead homie was chillin'. Jesus looked up and said, "Dad, thanks for hearing me, no cap."

42I knew you always hear me, but I said it for the crowd's vibes, so they know you sent me, fr.

43After he said that, he yelled super loud, "Lazarus, pop off and come out!"

44The dead dude came out, all wrapped up like a mummy. Jesus was like, "Unwrap him and let him vibe."

45So a bunch of Jews who rolled up to Mary and saw what Jesus did were like, "We believe in him, this is lit!"

46But some peeps went to the Pharisees and spilled the tea on what Jesus was up to.

47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees had a meeting, like, "What do we do? This dude is pulling off mad miracles."

48If we just let him do his thing, everyone’s gonna believe in him, and the Romans will come for our spot and crew.

49One of them, Caiaphas, the high priest that year, was like, "Y’all don’t know anything, periodt."

50And he pointed out that it’s better for one dude to die for the people than for the whole squad to be wiped out.

51He wasn’t just talking for himself; as the high priest that year, he dropped a prophecy that Jesus was gonna die for the squad.

52And not just for that squad, but to gather all the kids of God who were scattered everywhere.

53From that day on, they were scheming together to take him out, no cap.

54So, Jesus dipped and didn’t roll with the Jews anymore; he headed to a spot near the wilderness, a city called Ephraim, and kicked it with his crew.

55The Jews’ Passover was coming up, so a bunch of people bounced to Jerusalem to get themselves right.

56They were looking for Jesus, chatting among themselves in the temple, like, "You think he’s gonna skip the feast?"

57The chief priests and Pharisees were like, "If anyone knows where he’s at, spill the tea so we can grab him."

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

2(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

3Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

4When 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.

5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

7Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again.

8His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

11These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

14Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

15And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

16Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

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

18Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

19And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

20Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

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

22But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

23Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

24Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

27She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

28And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

29As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

30Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

31The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

32Then 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.

33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35Jesus wept.

36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

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

39Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41Then 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.

42And 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.

43And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44And 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.

45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

46But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

52And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

53Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

54Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

55And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

56Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?

57Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
