John 11:20-49

²⁰Then Martha, when shee heard that Iesus was comming, went to meete him: but Mary sate still in the house.

²¹Then said Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not bene dead.

²²But now I know also, that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God will giue it thee.

²³Iesus said vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe.

²⁴Martha said vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day.

²⁵Iesus saide vnto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that beleeueth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he liue.

²⁶And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth in me, shall neuer die: Beleeuest thou this?

²⁷She said vnto him, Yea, Lord, I beleeue that thou art that Christ that Sonne of God, which should come into the world.

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

²⁹And when she heard it, shee arose quickly, and came vnto him.

³⁰For Iesus was not yet come into the towne, but was in the place where Martha met him.

³¹The Iewes then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they sawe Marie, that she rose vp hastily, and went out, folowed her, saying, She goeth vnto the graue, to weepe there.

³²Then when Mary was come where Iesus was, and sawe him, she fell downe at his feete, saying vnto him, Lord, if thou haddest bene here, my brother had not bene dead.

³³When Iesus therefore saw her weepe, and the Iewes also weepe which came with her, hee groned in the spirit, and was troubled in himselfe,

³⁴And saide, Where haue ye layde him? They said vnto him, Lord, come and see.

³⁵And Iesus wept.

³⁶Then saide the Iewes, Beholde, how he loued him.

³⁷And some of them saide, Coulde not he, which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue made also, that this man should not haue died?

³⁸Iesus therefore againe groned in himselfe, and came to the graue. And it was a caue, and a stone was layde vpon it.

³⁹Iesus saide, Take ye away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said vnto him, Lord, he stinketh alreadie: for he hath bene dead foure dayes.

⁴⁰Iesus saide vnto her, Saide I not vnto thee, that if thou diddest beleeue, thou shouldest see the glorie of God?

⁴¹Then they tooke away the stone from the place where the dead was layde. And Iesus lift vp his eyes, and saide, Father, I thanke thee, because thou hast heard me.

⁴²I knowe that thou hearest me alwayes, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue, that thou hast sent me.

⁴³As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth.

⁴⁴Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hande and foote with bandes, and his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus said vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe.

⁴⁵Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him.

⁴⁶But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done.

⁴⁷Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles.

⁴⁸If we let him thus alone, all men will beleeue in him, and the Romanes will come and take away both our place, and the nation.

⁴⁹Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all,
