¹⁴ Then he came up and touched ^(A)the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, ^(B)arise.”

²⁵ “Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(A)an hour is coming, and is now here, when ^(B)the dead will hear ^(C)the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear ^(D)will live.

⁴³ When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” ^44 (A)The man who had died came out, ^(B)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and ^(C)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

²⁵ Jesus said to her, ^(A)“I am the resurrection and ^(B)the life.^[a] Whoever believes in me, ^(C)though he die, ^(D)yet shall he live,

²⁸ Do not marvel at this, for ^(A)an hour is coming when ^(B)all who are in the tombs will hear his voice ²⁹ and come out, ^(C)those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

¹⁷ as it is written, ^(A)“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, ^(B)who gives life to the dead and calls into existence ^(C)the things that do not exist.

⁷ So I prophesied ^(J)as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, ^(K)a rattling,^[b] and the bones came together, bone to its bone. ⁸ And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But ^(L)there was no breath in them. ⁹ Then he said to me, ^(M)“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, ^(N)son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from ^(O)the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ¹⁰ So I prophesied ^(P)as he commanded me, and ^(Q)the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

^21 (A)Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child's life^[a] come into him again.”

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