²¹ “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.^{(A) 22} But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”^(B)

²³ Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

²⁴ Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection^(C) at the last day.”^(D)

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am^(E) the resurrection and the life.^(F) The one who believes^(G) in me will live, even though they die; ²⁶ and whoever lives by believing^(H) in me will never die.^(I) Do you believe this?”

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up^(A) and said, “Father,^(B) I thank you that you have heard me. ⁴² I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,^(C) that they may believe that you sent me.”^(D)

⁴³ When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”^{(E) 44} The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,^(F) and a cloth around his face.^(G)

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

The Empty Tomb^(A)

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene^(B) went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.^{(C) 2} So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,^(D) and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”^(E)

³ So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.^{(F) 4} Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. ⁵ He bent over and looked in^(G) at the strips of linen^(H) lying there but did not go in. ⁶ Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, ⁷ as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.^(I) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. ⁸ Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,^(J) also went inside. He saw and believed. ⁹ (They still did not understand from Scripture^(K) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)^(L)
