¹⁴ Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, ^(A)arise.”

⁴³ Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” ⁴⁴ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with ^(A)graveclothes, and ^(B)his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

²⁵ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when ^(A)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

⁴⁰ But Peter ^(A)put them all out, and ^(B)knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he ^(C)said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. ⁴¹ Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am ^(A)the resurrection and the life. ^(B)He who believes in Me, though he may ^(C)die, he shall live.

²⁸ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ^(A)hear His voice ^29 (B)and come forth—^(C)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

⁵⁴ But He ^[a]put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, ^(A)arise.” ⁵⁵ Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat.

^21 (A)And he stretched himself out on the child three times, and cried out to the Lord and said, “O Lord my God, I pray, let this child’s soul come back to him.”

¹⁷ (as it is written, ^(A)“I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, ^(B)who gives life to the dead and calls those ^(C)things which do not exist as though they did;

²¹ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, ^(A)even so the Son gives life to whom He will.
