26. and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27. She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.”
28. When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, “The teacher is here and is asking for you.”
29. As soon as she heard this, she rose quickly and went to him.
30. For Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still where Martha had met him.
31. So when the Jews who were with her in the house comforting her saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, presuming that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32. When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33. When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he became perturbed and deeply troubled,
34. and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Sir, come and see.”
35. And Jesus wept.
36. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him.”
37. But some of them said, “Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man have done something so that this man would not have died?”
38. So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay across it.
39. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to him, “Lord, by now there will be a stench; he has been dead for four days.”
40. Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”
41. So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me.
42. I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43. And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44. The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.”
