³¹ And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.

²⁷ May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.

⁴³ Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

⁴⁴ And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

⁴⁵ Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷ Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

⁴⁸ If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

⁵⁰ You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

⁵¹ He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

⁵² And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

⁵³ And from that day they took thought together how to put him to death.

¹⁰ Now there was talk among the chief priests of putting Lazarus to death;

¹¹ For because of him a great number of the Jews went away and had belief in Jesus.

⁸ And he went into the Synagogue, and for three months he was preaching there without fear, reasoning and teaching about the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.

²³ And when a day had been fixed, they came to his house in great numbers; and he gave them teaching, giving witness to the kingdom of God, and having discussions with them about Jesus, from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

³ But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

¹¹ Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.
