   Day 295, 22 October 2025   
      
   1) John 11:38-57, Luke 17:11-37, Luke 18:1-8   
      
   John 11:38-57   
      
   Lazarus Brought to Life   
      
   38 (Mt 27:60; Jn 11:33) Then Jesus, again groaning within Himself,   
   came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.   
   39 (Jn 11:17) Jesus said, "Take away the stone."   
   Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him,   
   "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."   
   40 (Jn 11:4; 11:23-26) Jesus said to her,   
   "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"   
   41 (Jn 17:1; Mt 11:25) So they took away the stone from the place where   
   the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up His eyes and said,   
   "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.   
   42 (Jn 3:17; 17:21) I know that You always hear Me. But because of the people   
   standing around, I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."   
   43 When He had said this, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"   
   44 (Jn 20:7; 19:40) He who was dead came out, his hands and feet wrapped   
   with grave clothes, and his face wrapped with a cloth.   
   Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."   
      
   [38] Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a   
   cave, and a stone lay upon it.   
   [39] Jesus 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.   
   [40] Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest   
   believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?   
   [41] Then 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.   
   [42] And 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.   
   [43] And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come   
   forth.   
   [44] And 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.   
      
   The Plot to Kill Jesus   
   Mt 26:1-5; Mk 14:1-2; Lk 22:1-2   
      
   45 (Jn 2:23; 11:19) Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary,   
   and saw what Jesus had done, believed in Him.   
   46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees   
   and told them what Jesus had done.   
   47 (Mt 26:3; 5:22) Then the chief priests and the Pharisees   
   assembled the Sanhedrin and said,   
   "What shall we do? This Man is performing many signs.   
   48 If we leave Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him,   
   and the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation."   
   49 (Mt 26:3; Jn 11:51) Then one of them named Caiaphas,   
   who was the high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,   
   50 (Jn 18:14) nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man   
   should die for the people, that the whole nation should not perish."   
   51 (Ex 28:30; 1Sa 23:9) He did not say this on his own authority.   
   But being the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die   
   for the nation,   
   52 (Jn 10:16; Isa 49:6) and not for the nation only, but that He might   
   also gather together in unity the children of God who were scattered abroad.   
   53 So from that day forward they planned to put Him to death.   
   54 (Jn 7:1; 2Ch 13:19 ) Therefore Jesus no longer walked   
   openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country   
   near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim,   
   and remained there with His disciples.   
   55 (Jn 2:13; 6:4) Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand.   
   Many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover   
   to purify themselves.   
   56 (Jn 7:11) Then they searched for Jesus and said among themselves   
   as they stood in the temple,   
   "What do you think, that He will not come to the feast?"   
   57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders   
   that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it,   
   that they might seize Him.   
      
   [45] Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which   
   Jesus did, believed on him.   
   [46] But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what   
   things Jesus had done.   
   [47] Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said,   
   What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.   
   [48] If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans   
   shall come and take away both our place and nation.   
   [49] And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year,   
   said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,   
   [50] Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for   
   the people, and that the whole nation perish not.   
   [51] And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he   
   prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;   
   [52] And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together   
   in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.   
   [53] Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to   
   death.   
   [54] Jesus 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.   
   [55] And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the   
   country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.   
   [56] Then 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?   
   [57] Now 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.   
      
   Luke 17:11-37   
      
   The Cleansing of Ten Lepers   
      
   11 (Lk 9:51-52; Jn 4:3-4) As Jesus went to Jerusalem,   
   He passed between Samaria and Galilee.   
   12 (Lev 13:45-46) As He entered a village, there met Him ten men who were   
   lepers, who stood at a distance.   
   13 They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"   
   14 (Lk 5:14) When He saw them, He said to them,   
   "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.   
   15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed,   
   returned with a loud voice glorifying God,   
   16 (Mt 10:5) and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks.   
   And he was a Samaritan.   
   17 Jesus said, "Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?   
   18 Were there not any found to return and give glory to God   
   except this foreigner?"   
   19 (Mt 9:22; Mk 10:52) Then He said to him, "Rise, go your way.   
   Your faith has made you well."   
      
   [11] And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through   
   the midst of Samaria and Galilee.   
   [12] And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that   
   were lepers, which stood afar off:   
   [13] And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on   
   us.
