John 11:38-42

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."
