Jesus Raises Lazarus
38 Then Jesus,
1deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was
2a cave, and
3a stone lay against it.
39
Jesus said, “Take away the stone. ”Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for
4he has been dead four days. ”
40
Jesus said to her,
5“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see
6the glory of God? ”
41
So they took away the stone. And Jesus
7lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
42
8I knew that you always hear me, but I said this
9on account of the people standing around,
10that they may believe that you sent me. ”
43
When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out. ”
44
11The man who had died came out,
12his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and
13his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go. ”
