John 11:29-37 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

29. As soon as Mary heard this, she got up and went out to Jesus.

30. He was still outside the village where Martha had gone to meet him.

31. Many people had come to comfort Mary, and when they saw her quickly leave the house, they thought she was going out to the tomb to cry. So they followed her.

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

33. When Jesus saw that Mary and the people with her were crying, he was terribly upset

34. and asked, “Where have you put his body?”They replied, “Lord, come and you will see.”

35. Jesus started crying,

36. and the people said, “See how much he loved Lazarus.”

37. Some of them said, “He gives sight to the blind. Why couldn't he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
