Jesus therefore, becoming enraged again in himself, came 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 had died, said unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks, for he has been
dead four days.
40
Jesus said unto her, Did I not say unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou shalt see the glory of God?
41
Then they took away the stone
from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus, lifting up
his eyes, said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42
And I knew that thou hearest me always, but because of the people who stand by I said
it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43
And having said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44
Then he that had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45
Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed on him.
46
But some of them went unto the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47
Then the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, What shall we do? for this man does many signs.
48
If we let him thus alone, everyone will believe on him, and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and the nation.
