Martha thought that Jesus was going to look at Lazarus lying dead; and she said, Do not go in: his flesh has a bad smell by this time. He has been dead four days. But Jesus told her to believe that he could make him alive.
They then rolled away the stone.
Then Jesus lifted up his eyes to his Father in heaven, and thanked him for helping him to do wonderful things.
A great many people were standing by, looking at Jesus, and wondering what he would do.
Poor Martha and Mary were longing to see Lazarus alive again.
Then Jesus spoke loud and said, Lazarus, come forth.
Lazarus heard, though he was dead; for the dead hear the voice of Jesus. He got up and walked to the door of the hole. His hands were tied with cloths, and his feet wrapped round with cloths, and a cloth was over his face.
But Jesus said, Undo the cloths.
How pleased Martha and Mary must have been to see his face again! How they must have thanked the Lord Jesus for his kindness!
