    29 And Mary, hearing this, got up quickly and went to him.

    30 Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

    31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, comforting her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, went after her in the belief that she was going to the place of the dead and would be weeping there.

    32 When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

    33 And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled,

    34 And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.

    35 And Jesus himself was weeping.

    36 So the Jews said, See how dear he was to him!

    37 But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

    38 So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

    39 Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

    40 Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

    41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

    42 I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

    43 Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

    44 And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

    19 And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.

    20 When Martha had the news that Jesus was on the way, she went out to him, but Mary did not go from the house.

    22 But I am certain that, even now, whatever request you make to God, God will give it to you.

    23 Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.

    24 Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.

    25 Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

    26 And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?
