New King James Version
Jesus and Death, the Last Enemy
28 And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but [a]was in the place where Martha met Him. 31 (A)Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, [b]saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she (B)fell down at His feet, saying to Him, (C)“Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34 And He said, “Where have you laid him?”
They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 (D)Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
37 And some of them said, “Could not this Man, (E)who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”
Lazarus Raised from the Dead
38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a (F)stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”
Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would (G)see the glory of God?” 41 Then they took away the stone [c]from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but (H)because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with (I)graveclothes, and (J)his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus(K)
45 Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, (L)and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him. 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and (M)told them the things Jesus did.

John 11:28-46
New International Version
28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher(A) is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” 29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.(B) 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her,(C) noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”(D)
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved(E) in spirit and troubled.(F) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35 Jesus wept.(G)
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”(H)
37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man(I) have kept this man from dying?”(J)
Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved,(K) came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.(L) 39 “Take away the stone,” he said.
“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”(M)
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe,(N) you will see the glory of God?”(O)
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up(P) and said, “Father,(Q) I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,(R) that they may believe that you sent me.”(S)
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”(T) 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,(U) and a cloth around his face.(V)
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
The Plot to Kill Jesus
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary,(W) and had seen what Jesus did,(X) believed in him.(Y) 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
