The Death of Lazarus
11 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of (A)Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (B)It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, (C)he whom you love is ill.” 4 But when Jesus heard it he said, (D)“This illness does not lead to death. It is for (E)the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Now (F)Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard that Lazarus[a] was ill, (G)he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7 Then after this he said to the disciples, (H)“Let us go to Judea again.” 8 The disciples said to him, (I)“Rabbi, (J)the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?”

The Death of Lazarus
11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany,(A) the village of Mary and her sister Martha.(B) 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.)(C) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love(D) is sick.”
4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory(E) so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, 7 and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”(F)
8 “But Rabbi,”(G) they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you,(H) and yet you are going back?”

32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, (A)“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he (B)was deeply moved[a] in his spirit and (C)greatly troubled. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 (D)Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See (E)how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he (F)who opened the eyes of the blind man (G)also have kept this man from dying?”
Jesus Raises Lazarus
38 Then Jesus, (H)deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was (I)a cave, and (J)a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for (K)he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, (L)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see (M)the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus (N)lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 (O)I knew that you always hear me, but I said this (P)on account of the people standing around, (Q)that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 (R)The man who had died came out, (S)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and (T)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

38 Jesus, once more deeply moved,(H) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.(I) 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.”(J)
