11

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.

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

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?

Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

Jesus wept.

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

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

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.

The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
