John 11:32–44

³²When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”^y

³³When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved^z in spirit and troubled.^{a 34}“Where have you laid him?” he asked.

“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.

³⁵Jesus wept.^b

³⁶Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”^c

³⁷But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man^d have kept this man from dying?”^e

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead

³⁸Jesus, once more deeply moved,^f came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.^{g 39}“Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”^h

⁴⁰Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,ⁱ you will see the glory of God?”^j

⁴¹So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up^k and said, “Father,^l I thank you that you have heard me. ⁴²I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,^m that they may believe that you sent me.”ⁿ

⁴³When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”^{o 44}The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,^p and a cloth around his face.^q

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
