John 11:12-36

¹²The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.

¹³But Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.

¹⁴Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.

¹⁵And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.

¹⁶Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

¹⁷Jesus therefore on arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,

¹⁹and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

²⁰Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.

²¹Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²²but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

²³Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.

²⁴Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.

²⁵Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;

²⁶and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

²⁷She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.

²⁸And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.

²⁹She, when she heard that, rises up quickly and comes to him.

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.

³¹The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.

³²Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

³³Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,

³⁴and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
