32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”(A)

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved(B) in spirit and troubled.(C) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.

“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.

35 Jesus wept.(D)

36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”(E)

37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man(F) have kept this man from dying?”(G)

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead

38 Jesus, once more deeply moved,(H) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.(I) 39 “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”(J)

40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,(K) you will see the glory of God?”(L)

41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up(M) and said, “Father,(N) I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,(O) that they may believe that you sent me.”(P)

43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”(Q)

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
