John 11:20-49

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!

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

³⁸Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

³⁹Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days there.

⁴⁰Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

⁴¹They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;

⁴²but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴³And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

⁴⁴And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.

⁴⁵Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;

⁴⁶but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

⁴⁷The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.

⁴⁸If we let him thus alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

⁴⁹But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing
