John 11:12-36

¹²Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.

¹³Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.

¹⁴Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

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

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

¹⁷Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

¹⁸(Now Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs distant.)

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

²⁰Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.

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

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

²³Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall 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 were dead, yet shall he live:

²⁶And whoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die. Believest thou this?

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

²⁸And when she had so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

²⁹As soon as she heard that , she arose quickly, and came to him.

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

³¹The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave to weep there.

³²Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

³³When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled;

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

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
