John 11:39-42

J.B. Phillips New Testament

³⁹ “Take away the stone,” said Jesus. “But Lord,” said Martha, the dead man’s sister, “he has been dead four days. By this time he will be decaying ....”

⁴⁰ “Did I not tell you,” replied Jesus, “that if you believed, you would see the wonder of what God can do?”

^41-42 Then they took the stone away and Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I know that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of these people standing here so that they may believe that you have sent me.”
