11:1 Yeshua is aware of Lazarus’ death from afar
11 [ref]Now there was a man called Lazarus who lived in the village of Bethany along with his sisters Martha and Maria. 2 [ref](Maria was the one who later poured fragrant oil over Yeshua and wiped his feet with her hair.) But now their brother was seriously ill 3 and so the two sisters sent a message to Yeshua saying, “Master, this man that you love is seriously ill.”
4 However, when Yeshua got the message he said to those around him, “This sickness won’t end in death but in honour for God, so that his son will also be honoured because of it.”
5 Now it was true that Yeshua loved the three of them. 6 Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed in the place where he was for two more days 7 before he said to his followers, “It’s time to head down to Yudea again.”
8 But they double-checked, “Honoured teacher, the Yudeans wanted to execute you, so do you really want to go back there again?”
9 And Yeshua answered, “There are twelve hours of light in the day. Anyone who walks during the daytime doesn’t stumble because he is seeing the light that shines in this world. 10 But anyone who walks at night will stumble, because the light is not in them.” 11 And he continued, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I’m going so that I can wake him up.”
12 But his followers objected, “Master, it’s good if he’s sleeping because it helps with healing.”
13 But Yeshua had spoken about Lazarus’ death—not just normal sleep as they had thought. 14 So Yeshua told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead 15 and I’m glad that I wasn’t there, because you all will benefit as your faith grows. Anyway, let’s get moving.”
16 Thomas (nicknamed ‘Twin’) grumbled to the others, “Yeah, we might as well go so that we can get killed as well.”
11 And a_certain man was ailing, Lazaros of Baʸthania of the village of_Maria/(Miryām), and Martha the sister of_her.
2 And Maria was the woman having_anointed the master with_ointment, and having_wiped_off the feet of_him with_the hairs of_her, whose the brother Lazaros was_ailing.
3 Therefore the sisters sent_out to him saying:
master, see, he_whom you_are_loving is_ailing.
4 But having_heard the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) said:
This the sickness not is to death, but for the glory of_ the _god, in_order_that the son of_ the _god may_be_glorified by it.
5 And the Yaʸsous was_loving the Martha, and the sister of_her, and the Lazaros.
6 Therefore when he_heard that he_is_ailing, then indeed he_remained in the_place which he_was two days.
7 Then after this he_is_saying to_the apprentices/followers:
We_may_be_going into the Youdaia back.
8 The Disciples are_saying to_him:
My_great_one, the Youdaiōns were_seeking now to_stone you, and you_are_going there again?
9 Yaʸsous answered are not Twelve, hours of_the day?
If anyone may_be_walking in the day, he_is_ not _stumbling, because he_is_seeing the light of_ the this _world.
10 But if anyone may_be_walking in the night, he_is_stumbling, because the light is not in him.
11 He_said these things, and after this he_is_saying to_them:
Lazaros the the_friend of_us has_been_fallen_asleep, but I_am_going, in_order_that I_may_awaken him.
12 Therefore the apprentices/followers said to_him:
master, if he_has_been_fallen_asleep he_will_be_being_healed.
13 But the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) had_spoken about the death of_him.
But those supposed that he_is_speaking about the sleep of_ the _sleep.
14 Therefore then the Yaʸsous said to_them with_plainness:
Lazaros died_off, 15 and I_am_rejoicing because_of you_all, that not I_was there in_order_that you_all_may_believe, but we_may_be_going to him.
16 Therefore Thōmas which being_called Didumos/[twin] said, to_the fellow-apprentices/followers:
May_be_ we _going also, in_order_that we_may_die_off with him.
Much like the difficulties of discerning the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land (see here), the task of reconciling the four Gospel accounts of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem into one coherent itinerary has proven very challenging for Bible scholars. As with many other events during Jesus’ ministry, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels) present a noticeably similar account of Jesus’ final travels, while John’s Gospel presents an itinerary that is markedly different from the others. In general, the Synoptic Gospels present Jesus as making a single journey to Jerusalem, beginning in Capernaum (Luke 9:51), passing through Perea (Matthew 19:1-2; Mark 10:1) and Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-19:10), and ending at Bethany and Bethphage, where he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44). John, on the other hand, mentions several trips to Jerusalem by Jesus (John 2:13-17; 5:1-15; 7:1-13; 10:22-23), followed by a trip to Perea across the Jordan River (John 10:40-42), a return to Bethany where he raises Lazarus from the dead (John 11), a withdrawal to the village of Ephraim for a few months (John 11:54), and a return trip to Bethany, where he then enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (John 12:1-19). The differences between the Synoptics’ and John’s accounts are noteworthy, but they are not irreconcilable. The Synoptics, after noting that Jesus began his trip at Capernaum, likely condensed their accounts (as occurs elsewhere in the Gospels) to omit Jesus’ initial arrival in Jerusalem and appearance at the Festival of Dedication, thus picking up with Jesus in Perea (stage 2 of John’s itinerary). Then all the Gospels recount Jesus’ trip (back) to Bethany and Jerusalem, passing through Jericho along the way. Likewise, the Synoptics must have simply omitted the few months Jesus spent in Ephraim to escape the Jewish leaders (stage 4 of John’s itinerary) and rejoined John’s account where Jesus is preparing to enter Jerusalem on a donkey.
