The Raising of Lazarus

38

Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

39

“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”

40

Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

41

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

42

I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”

43

After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44

The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
