John 11:29-39 Amplified Bible (AMP)

29. When she heard this, she sprang up quickly and went to Him.

30. Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the same spot where Martha had met Him.

31. When the Jews who were sitting with her in the house and consoling her saw how hastily Mary had arisen and gone out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to pour out her grief there.

32. When Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw Him, she dropped down at His feet, saying to Him, Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

33. When Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews who came with her [also] sobbing, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. [He chafed in spirit and sighed and was disturbed.]

34. And He said, Where have you laid him? They said to Him, Lord, come and see.

35. Jesus wept.

36. The Jews said, See how [tenderly] He loved him!

37. But some of them said, Could not He Who opened a blind man's eyes have prevented this man from dying?

38. Now Jesus, again sighing repeatedly and deeply disquieted, approached the tomb. It was a cave (a hole in the rock), and a boulder lay against [the entrance to close] it.

39. Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, But Lord, by this time he [is decaying and] throws off an offensive odor, for he has been dead four days!
