John 11:17-44 ▼

17 Therefore, having come, Jesus found him already having been four days in the tomb.

18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so that they might console them concerning their brother.

20 Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, met Him; but Mary was sitting in the house.

21 Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 But even now I know that whatever You might ask God, God will give You.”

23 Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

24 Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.”

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he may die, he will live.

26 And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?”

27 She says to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”

28 And having said these things, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, having said, “The Teacher is come, and He calls you.”

29 And she, as she heard, rose up quickly and was coming to Him.

30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.

31 Then the Jews being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, having thought that she is going to the tomb so that she might weep there.

32 Therefore Mary, as she came to where Jesus was, having seen Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33 Therefore Jesus, as He saw her weeping and the Jews having come with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and Himself troubled.

34 And He said, “Where have you? laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

35 Jesus wept.

36 Therefore the Jews were saying, “Behold how He was loving him!”

37 But some of them said, “Was not this man, the One having opened the eyes of the blind able to have caused also that this one should not have died?”

38 So Jesus, being deeply moved in Himself again, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it.

39 Jesus says, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one having died, says to Him, “Lord, already he stinks, for it is four days.”

40 Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you should believe, you will see the glory of God?”

41 So they took away the stone. Now Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You heard Me.

42 And I knew that You always hear Me; but I said it because of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”

43 And having said these things, He cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44 The one having been dead came out, the feet and the hands bound with linen strips, and his face bound around in a soudario. Jesus says to them, “Unbind him and allow him to go.”
