John 11:20-47

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!

³⁷And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

³⁸Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

³⁹Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: for he hath been dead four days.

⁴⁰Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

⁴¹Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me:

⁴²And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by, I said it , that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴³And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

⁴⁴And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.

⁴⁵Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

⁴⁶But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

⁴⁷Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many miracles.
