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

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

39 Jesus * said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, * said to Him, “Lord, by this time 1there will be a stench, for he has been dead afour days.”

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

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

42 “I knew that You always hear Me; but abecause of the 1people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that bYou sent Me.”

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

44 The 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.”
