John 11:23–44

²³Jesus ^*said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

²⁴Martha ^*said to Him, “^aI know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”

²⁵Jesus said to her, “^aI am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

²⁶and everyone who lives and believes in Me ^awill never die—ever. Do you believe this?”

²⁷She ^*said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are ^athe ¹Christ, the Son of God, ^2bthe One who comes into the world.”

²⁸And when she had said this, she ^awent away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “^bThe Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

²⁹And when she heard it, she ^*got up quickly and was coming to Him.

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but ^awas still in the place where Martha met Him.

^31aThen the Jews—who were with her in the house and ^bconsoling her—when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to cry there.

³²Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “^aLord, ^bif You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

³³When Jesus therefore saw her crying, and ^athe Jews who came with her also crying, He ^bwas ¹deeply moved in spirit and ^2cwas troubled,

³⁴and said, “Where have you laid him?” They ^*said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

³⁵Jesus ^awept.

³⁶So ^athe Jews were saying, “See how He ^bloved him!”

³⁷But some of them said, “Could not this man, who ^aopened the eyes of the blind man, ¹have kept this man also from dying?”

³⁸So Jesus, again being ¹deeply moved within, ^*came to the tomb. Now it was a ^acave, and a stone was lying against it.

³⁹Jesus ^*said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, ^*said to Him, “Lord, by this time he smells, for he has been dead ^afour days.”

⁴⁰Jesus ^*said to her, “^aDid I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

⁴¹So they removed the ^astone. Then Jesus ^braised His eyes, and said, “^cFather, I thank You that You have heard Me.

⁴²“And I knew that You always hear Me; but ^abecause of the crowd standing around I said this, so that they may believe that ^bYou sent Me.”

⁴³And when He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.”

⁴⁴The man who had died came forth, ^abound hand and foot with wrappings, and ^bhis face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus ^*said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
