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.”
