John 11: 32-44​​
​​
32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
​
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
​
34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
​
35 Jesus wept.
​
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
​
37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”
​
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
​
39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
​
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
​
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
​
42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
​
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
​
4 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
