Lazarus Is Raised

³⁸ Then Jesus, deeply moved within himself again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying on it. ³⁹ Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, “Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been four days.” ⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” ⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his^[a] eyes above and said, “Father, I give thanks to you that you hear me. ⁴² And I know that you always hear me, but for the sake of the crowd standing around I said it,^[b] so that they may believe that you sent me.” ⁴³ And when he^[c] had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” ⁴⁴ The one who had died came out, his^[d] feet and his^[e] hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped with a facecloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
