John 11:12-36

¹²The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he hath fallen asleep, he will recover.

¹³But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the taking of rest in sleep.

¹⁴Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.

¹⁵And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there; that ye may believe; but let us go to him.

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

¹⁷Having come, therefore, Jesus found that he had been four days in the tomb.

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

²⁰Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but Mary continued sitting in the house.

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

²²and even now I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it thee.

²³Jesus saith to her, Thy brother will rise again.

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

²⁵Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he have died, will live;

²⁶and whoever liveth and believeth in me will never die. Believest thou this?

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

²⁸And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here and calleth for thee.

²⁹She, when she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him.

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha met him.

³¹The Jews then who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

³²Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him fell down 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 also weeping who came with her, was greatly moved in his spirit, and much troubled,

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

³⁵Jesus wept.

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