Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.
40
Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
41
They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.
42
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43
When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
44
And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go.
45
Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
46
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47

49
But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
