John 11:32–44

³²Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and^* saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” ³³Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled within himself. ³⁴And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” ³⁵Jesus wept. ³⁶So the Jews were saying, “See how he loved him!” ³⁷But some of them said, “Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do something^* so that this man also would not have died?”

Lazarus Is Raised

³⁸Then Jesus, deeply moved within himself again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it. ³⁹Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, “Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been four days.” ⁴⁰Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” ⁴¹So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his^* eyes above and said, “Father, I give thanks to you that you hear me. ⁴²And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd 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!” ⁴⁴The one who had died came out, his^* feet and his^* hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped with a facecloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
