The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!”
37
But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
38
Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance.

“Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”
40
Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?”
41
So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me.
42
You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.”
