John 11:38-44

Christian Standard Bible

The Seventh Sign: Raising Lazarus from the Dead

³⁸ Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.^{(A) 39} “Remove the stone,” Jesus said.

Martha, the dead man’s sister, told him, “Lord, there is already a stench because he has been dead four days.”

⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory^(B) of God?”^(C)

⁴¹ So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank^(D) you that you heard me.^{(E) 42} I know that you always hear me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so that they may believe you sent^(F) me.” ⁴³ After he said this, he shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” ⁴⁴ The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”
