John 11:20-47

²⁰Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.

²¹Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

²³Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'

²⁴Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

²⁵Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁷believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

³⁰and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

³¹the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'

³²Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, 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, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³⁴'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'

³⁵Jesus wept.

³⁶The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'

³⁷and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

³⁸Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

³⁹Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

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

⁴¹They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

⁴²and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

⁴³And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'

⁴⁴and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'

⁴⁵Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

⁴⁶but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

⁴⁷the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
