    29So when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

    30(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)

    31Then the people who were with Mary in the house consoling her saw her get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

    32Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him,“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

    33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping, he was intensely moved in spirit and greatly distressed.

    34He asked,“Where have you laid him?” They replied,“Lord, come and see.”

    35Jesus wept.

    36Thus the people who had come to mourn said,“Look how much he loved him!”

    37But some of them said,“This is the man who caused the blind man to see! Couldn’t he have done something to keep Lazarus from dying?”

    38Lazarus Raised from the Dead Jesus, intensely moved again, came to the tomb.(Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)

    39Jesus said,“Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, replied,“Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell, because he has been buried four days.”

    40Jesus responded,“Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”

    41So they took away the stone. Jesus looked upward and said,“Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.

    42I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

    43When he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice,“Lazarus, come out!”

    44The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them,“Unwrap him and let him go.”
