John 11:32-44
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” {33} When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. {34} He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” {35} Jesus began to weep. {36} So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” {37} But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” {38} Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. {39} Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” {40} Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” {41} So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. {42} I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” {43} When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” {44} The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” {NRSV}
