32 When Mary came
where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him,
“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have
died.” 33 When Jesus saw
her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was
greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply
moved. 34 He said,
“Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and
see.” 35 Jesus began to
weep. 36 So the Jews
said, “See how he loved him!” 37 But some of
them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have
kept this man from dying?”
38 Then Jesus,
again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a
stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said,
“Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to
him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four
days.” 40 Jesus said to
her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the
glory of God?” 41 So they took
away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank
you for having heard me. 42 I knew that
you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd
standing here, so that they may believe that you sent
me.” 43 When he had
said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come
out!” 44 The dead man
came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his
face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let
him go.”
