Yochanan 11:31-49 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

31. Then the Judeans who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Miriam, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

32. Therefore when Miriam came to where Yeshua was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

33. When Yeshua therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

34. and said, “Where have you laid him?”They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

35. Yeshua wept.

37. Some of them said, “Couldn’t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?”

38. Yeshua therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

43. When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44. He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth.Yeshua said to them, “Free him, and let him go.”

45. Therefore many of the Judeans who came to Miriam and saw what Yeshua did believed in him.

46. But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things which Yeshua had done.

47. The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

48. If we leave him alone like this, 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, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,
