John 11:17-37

New Matthew Bible

¹⁷ Then Jesus went, and found that Lazarus had lain in his grave four days already. ¹⁸ Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off, ¹⁹ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them over their brother. ²⁰ 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 to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not be dead. ²² But nevertheless, I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. ²³ Jesus said to her, Your brother will rise again. ²⁴ Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes on me, yea though he be dead, yet shall he live. ²⁶ And whoever lives and believes on me shall never die. Do you believe this?

²⁷ She said to him, Yes, Lord. I believe that you are Christ, the Son of God who was to come into the world.

²⁸ And as soon as she had so said, she went her way and called Mary her sister quietly, saying, The Teacher has come and is calling for you. ²⁹ And Mary, as soon as she heard that, arose quickly and went to him.

³⁰ Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him. ³¹ Then the Jews who were with Mary in the house and comforting her, when they saw that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the grave, to weep there.

³² Then when Mary arrived where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not be dead.

³³ When Jesus saw her weep, and the Jews who came with her also weep, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled in himself, ³⁴ and said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ And Jesus wept. ³⁶ Then the Jews said, See how he loved him! ³⁷ And some of them said, Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind, have made also that this man should not have died?
