John 11:1

The Death of Lazarus

11:1 Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived. ¹ 

John 5:7

5:7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, ²  I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, ³  someone else ⁴  goes down there ⁵  before me.”

¹ tn Grk “from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.”

² tn Or “Lord.” The Greek κύριος (kurios) means both “Sir” and “Lord.” In this passage the paralytic who was healed by Jesus never acknowledges Jesus as Lord – he rather reports Jesus to the authorities.

³ tn Grk “while I am going.”

⁴ tn Grk “another.”

⁵ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
