Now Beth-a-ny was near Je-ru-sa-lem, and a crowd of Jews had gone there to weep with Ma-ry and Mar-tha. As soon as Mar-tha heard that Je-sus was near she ran out to meet him; but Ma-ry sat still in the house. And Mar-tha said to Je-sus, If thou hadst been here my bro-ther would not have died. But I know that e-ven now what thou wilt ask of God he will give it thee.
Je-sus said to her, Thy bro-ther shall rise a-gain.
Mar-tha said, I know that he shall rise at the last day.
Then Mar-tha went back to the house and said to Ma-ry, The mas-ter has come and asks for thee.
Ma-ry rose at once and went out to meet him; and those who saw her leave the house, said, She goes to the grave to weep there.
As soon as Ma-ry came to the place where Je-sus was, she fell at his feet and said, Lord, if thou hadst been here my bro-ther had not died.
When Je-sus saw her tears, and the tears of those who wept with her, he was full of grief, and said, Where have ye laid him?
They said, Lord, come and see.
Je-sus wept. And when the Jews saw it they said, See how he loved him. And some of them said, Could not this man, who gave the blind their sight, have saved Laz-a-rus from death?
