John 11:17-37
Legacy Standard Bible
17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb (A)four days. 18 Now (B)Bethany was near Jerusalem, about [a]fifteen stadia away; 19 and many of (C)the Jews had come to (D)Martha and Mary, (E)to console them about their brother. 20 (F)Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but (G)Mary was sitting in the house. 21 Martha then said to Jesus, “(H)Lord, (I)if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that (J)whatever You ask from God, God will give You.” 23 Jesus *said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha *said to Him, “(K)I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “(L)I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me (M)will never die—ever. Do you believe this?” 27 She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are (N)the [b]Christ, the Son of God, [c](O)the One who comes into the world.”
28 And when she had said this, she (P)went away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “(Q)The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she *got up quickly and was coming to Him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but (R)was still in the place where Martha met Him. 31 (S)Then the Jews—who were with her in the house and (T)consoling her—when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to cry there. 32 Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “(U)Lord, (V)if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus therefore saw her crying, and (W)the Jews who came with her also crying, He (X)was [d]deeply moved in spirit and [e](Y)was troubled, 34 and said, “Where have you laid him?” They *said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus (Z)wept. 36 So (AA)the Jews were saying, “See how He (AB)loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not this man, who (AC)opened the eyes of the blind man, [f]have kept this man also from dying?”

The Resurrection and the Life
17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb(A) four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem(B) (less than two miles[a] away). 19 Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.
20 As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. 22 Yet even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
23 “Your brother will rise(C) again,” Jesus told her.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”(D)
25 Jesus said to her, “I am(E) the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me,(F) even if he dies, will live.(G) 26 Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.(H) Do you believe this?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe you are the Messiah,(I) the Son(J) of God, who comes into the world.”(K)
Jesus Shares the Sorrow of Death
28 Having said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 As soon as Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.(L) 30 Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews who were with her in the house consoling her saw that Mary got up quickly and went out. They followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb(M) to cry there.
32 As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet(N) and told him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died!”
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, he was deeply moved[b] in his spirit(O) and troubled. 34 “Where have you put him?” he asked.
“Lord,” they told him, “come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.(P)
36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved(Q) him!” 37 But some of them said, “Couldn’t he who opened the blind man’s eyes(R) also have kept this man from dying?”
