John 11:11-35
21st Century King James Version
11 These things said He, and after that He said unto them, “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awaken him out of sleep.”
12 Then said His disciples, “Lord, if he sleep he shall do well.”
13 However Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He had spoken of the taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then Jesus said unto them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go unto him.”
16 Then Thomas, who was called Didymus, said unto his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”
17 Then when Jesus came, He found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about two miles away,
19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him; but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then Martha said unto Jesus, “Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But I know that even now, whatsoever Thou wilt ask of God, God will give it Thee.”
23 Jesus said unto her, “Thy brother shall rise again.”
24 Martha said unto Him, “I know that he shall rise again at the resurrection on the Last Day.”
25 Jesus said unto her, “I am the resurrection and the Life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live;
26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?”
27 She said unto Him, “Yea, Lord, I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.”
28 And when she had so said, she went her way and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, “The Master has come, and calleth for thee.”
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came unto Him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met Him.
31 The Jews then, who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, “She goeth unto the grave to weep there.”
32 Then when Mary had come where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying unto Him, “Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled,
34 and said, “Where have ye laid him?” They said unto Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.
