John 11:42-50
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
42But I knew that You always hear Me; nevertheless, because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.' 43And when He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!' 44Out came the man who had died, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus *said to them, 'Unbind him, and let him go.'
45Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.
46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council meeting, and they were saying, 'What are we doing in regard to the fact that this man is performing many signs?
48If we let Him go on like this, all the people will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take over both our place and our nation.'
49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, 'You know nothing at all,
50nor are you taking into account that it is in your best interest that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish instead.'
King James Version
Chapter 11
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.

42I know that you always hear me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so that they may believe you sent me." 43After he said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unwrap him and let him go."
45Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he did believed in him.
46But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

Chapter 11
42You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.' 43Then Jesus shouted, 'Lazarus, come out!' 44And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, 'Unwrap him and let him go!'
45Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.
46But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council together. 'What are we going to do?' they asked each other. 'This man certainly performs many miraculous signs.
48If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation.'

Chapter 11
42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me." 43When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." 44The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
45Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him,
46but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.
48If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all.
50Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish."

Chapter 11
42And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
45Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
46But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.
47Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.
48If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”
