30. (Now Jesus has not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha went to meet him.)
31. So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Mary—that she stood up quickly and went out—followed her, because they thought that she was going to the tomb in order to weep there.
32. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33. Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled within himself.
34. And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35. Jesus wept.
36. So the Jews were saying, “See how he loved him!”
37. But some of them said, “Was not this man who opened the eyes of the blind able to do something so that this man also would not have died?”

44. The one who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped with a facecloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
45. Then many of the Jews who had come with Mary and saw the things which he did believed in him.
46. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47. So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!
48. If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49. But a certain one of them, Caiaphas (who was high priest in that year), said to them, “You do not know anything at all!
