John 11:35-45

New International Version

³⁵ Jesus wept.^(A)

³⁶ Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”^(B)

³⁷ But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man^(C) have kept this man from dying?”^(D)

Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead

³⁸ Jesus, once more deeply moved,^(E) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.^{(F) 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.”^(G)

⁴⁰ Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,^(H) you will see the glory of God?”^(I)

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up^(J) and said, “Father,^(K) I thank you that you have heard me. ⁴² I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,^(L) that they may believe that you sent me.”^(M)

⁴³ When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”^{(N) 44} The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,^(O) and a cloth around his face.^(P)

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

The Plot to Kill Jesus

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary,^(Q) and had seen what Jesus did,^(R) believed in him.^(S)
