Jesus Raises Lazarus

38 Then Jesus, (A)deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was (B)a cave, and (C)a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for (D)he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, (E)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see (F)the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus (G)lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 (H)I knew that you always hear me, but I said this (I)on account of the people standing around, (J)that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 (K)The man who had died came out, (L)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and (M)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

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.”
