John 11:37-47

37 But some of them said, "Could not this man, who ¹opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?"

38 So Jesus, again being deeply moved within *, came to the tomb. Now it was a ²cave, and a stone was lying against it.

39 Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead ³four days."

40 Jesus said to her, "⁴Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"

41 So they removed the ⁵stone. Then Jesus ⁶raised His eyes, and said, "⁷Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 "I knew that You always hear Me; but ⁸because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that ⁹You sent Me."

43 When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth."

44 The man who had died came forth, ¹⁰bound hand and foot with wrappings, and ¹¹his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

45 ¹²Therefore many of the Jews ¹³who came to Mary, and ¹⁴saw what He had done, believed in Him.

46 But some of them went to the ¹⁵Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

47 Therefore ¹⁶the chief priests and the Pharisees ¹⁷convened a ¹⁸council, and were saying, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many ¹⁹signs.
