John 11:28-47 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary quietly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and he is calling you."

29. When she heard this, she rose up quickly and went to him.

30. For Jesus had not yet arrived in the town. But he was still at that place where Martha had met him.

31. Therefore, the Jews who were with her in the house and who were consoling her, when they had seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb, so that she may weep there."

32. Therefore, when Mary had arrived to where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and she said to him. "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

33. And then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had arrived with her weeping, he groaned in spirit and became troubled.

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

35. And Jesus wept.

36. Therefore, the Jews said, "See how much he loved him!"

37. But some of them said, "Would not he who opened the eyes of one born blind have been able to cause this man not to die?"

38. Therefore, Jesus, again groaning from within himself, went to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone had been placed over it.

39. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who had died, said to him, "Lord, by now it will smell, for this is the fourth day."

40. Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe, you shall see the glory of God?"

41. Therefore, they took away the stone. Then, lifting up his eyes, Jesus said: "Father, I give thanks to you because you have heard me.

42. And I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the people who are standing nearby, so that they may believe that you have sent me."

43. When he had said these things, he cried in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."

44. And immediately, he who had been dead went forth, bound at the feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound with a separate cloth. Jesus said to them, "Release him and let him go."

45. Therefore, many of the Jews, who had come to Mary and Martha, and who had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.

46. But certain ones among them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done.

47. And so, the high priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and they were saying: "What can we do? For this man accomplishes many signs.
