²² Then God remembered Rachel;^(A) he listened to her^(B) and enabled her to conceive.^{(C) 23} She became pregnant and gave birth to a son^(D) and said, “God has taken away my disgrace.”^{(E) 24} She named him Joseph,^[a](F) and said, “May the Lord add to me another son.”^(G)

³⁵ Jesus wept.^(A)

³⁶ Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”^(B)

³⁷ But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man^(C) have kept this man from dying?”^(D)

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead

³⁸ Jesus, once more deeply moved,^(E) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.^{(F) 39} “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”^(G)

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

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