29 But Martha said, Lord, is it well? Behold our brother has been dead four days; the body must be in decay, and is it well that we should see it now?
30 The Lord replied, Have you forgotten, Martha, what I said while we were at the village gate? Did I not say that you should see the glory of the Lord?
31 And then they rolled the stone away; the flesh had not decayed; and Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,
32 My Father-God, thou who hast ever heard my prayers, I thank thee now, and that these multitudes may know that thou hast sent me forth, that I am thine and thou art mine, make strong the Word of power.
33 And then he spoke the Word, and in a voice that souls can comprehend, he said, O Lazarus, awake!
34 And Lazarus arose and came out of the tomb. The grave clothes were about him fast, and Jesus said,
35 Loose him and let him go.
36 The people were amazed and multitudes confessed their faith in him.
37 And some went to Jerusalem and told the Pharisees about this resurrection of the dead.
38 The chief priests were confounded, and they said, What shall we do? This man is doing many mighty deeds, and if we do not stay him in his work, all men will look on him as king, and through the Romans he may take the throne, and we will lose our place and power.
