    29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to him.

    30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him.

    31 The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw Mary get up hastily and go out, followed her, saying, She is going to the grave to weep there.

    32 Then when Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

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

    34 And said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.

    35 Jesus wept.

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

    37 And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also kept this man from dying?
