32 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, (A)“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 also weeping, he (B)was deeply moved[a] in his spirit and (C)greatly troubled. 34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 (D)Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, “See (E)how he loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could not he (F)who opened the eyes of the blind man (G)also have kept this man from dying?”

Jesus Raises Lazarus

38 Then Jesus, (H)deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was (I)a cave, and (J)a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for (K)he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, (L)“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see (M)the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus (N)lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 (O)I knew that you always hear me, but I said this (P)on account of the people standing around, (Q)that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 (R)The man who had died came out, (S)his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and (T)his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

  1. John 11:33 Or was indignant; also verse 38

32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
