They told him, "Lord, come and see."
[11:35] Jesus wept.
[11:36] The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!" [11:37] Some of them said, "Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
[11:38] Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it. [11:39] Jesus said, "Take away the stone."
Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
[11:40] Jesus said to her, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
[11:41] So they took away the stone [from the place where the dead man was lying.] Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me. [11:42] I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me." [11:43] When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
[11:44] He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth.
Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
[11:45] Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed in him. [11:46] But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done. [11:47] The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs. [11:48] If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
