John 11:23–44

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

²⁴Martha said to Him, ^k“I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am ^lthe resurrection and the life. ^mHe who believes in Me, though he may ⁿdie, he shall live. ²⁶And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

²⁷She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, ^oI believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

²⁸And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” ²⁹As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. ³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but ²was in the place where Martha met Him. ^31pThen the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, ³saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

³²Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she ^qfell down at His feet, saying to Him, ^r“Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

³³Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. ³⁴And He said, “Where have you laid him?”

They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

^35sJesus wept. ³⁶Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

³⁷And some of them said, “Could not this Man, ^twho opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”

³⁸Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a ^ustone lay against it. ³⁹Jesus 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.”

⁴⁰Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would ^vsee the glory of God?” ⁴¹Then they took away the stone ⁴from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. ⁴²And I know that You always hear Me, but ^wbecause of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” ⁴³Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” ⁴⁴And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with ^xgraveclothes, and ^yhis face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
