₃₂Mary arrived where Jesus was, and as soon as she saw him, she fell at his feet. “Lord,” she said, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died!”

₃₃Jesus saw her weeping, and he saw how the people who were with her were weeping also; his heart was touched, and he was deeply moved. ₃₄“Where have you buried him?” he asked them.

“Come and see, Lord,” they answered.

₃₅Jesus wept. ₃₆“See how much he loved him!” the people said.

₃₇But some of them said, “He gave sight to the blind man, didn't he? Could he not have kept Lazarus from dying?”

₃₈Deeply moved once more, Jesus went to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone placed at the entrance. ₃₉“Take the stone away!” Jesus ordered.

Martha, the dead man's sister, answered, “There will be a bad smell, Lord. He has been buried four days!”

₄₀Jesus said to her, “Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believed?” ₄₁They took the stone away. Jesus looked up and said, “I thank you, Father, that you listen to me. ₄₂I know that you always listen to me, but I say this for the sake of the people here, so that they will believe that you sent me.” ₄₃After he had said this, he called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” ₄₄He came out, his hands and feet wrapped in grave clothes, and with a cloth round his face. “Untie him,” Jesus told them, “and let him go.”
