Therefore, when Jesus
saw her weeping, and the Jews
who came with her weeping, He
groaned in the spirit and was
troubled. And He said, "Where
have you laid him?" They said to
Him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus
wept. Then the Jews said, "See
how He loved him!"
And some of them said, "Could
not this Man, who opened the
eyes of the blind, also have
kept this man from dying?" Then
Jesus, again groaning in
Himself, came to the tomb. It
was a cave, and a stone lay
against it.
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." Jesus said to her,
"Did I not say to you that if
you would believe you would see
the glory of God?"
Then they took away the stone
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. And I know that You always
hear Me, but because of the
people who are standing by I
said this, that they may believe
that You sent Me." Now when He
had said these things, He cried
with a loud voice, "Lazarus,
come forth!" And he who had died
came out bound hand and foot
with grave clothes, and his face
was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus
said to them, "Loose him, and
let him go." Then many of the
Jews who had come to Mary, and
had seen the things Jesus did,
believed in Him. (John 11:33-45)
