So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

39

Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

40

Jesus said to her, Did I not say to you that if you had faith you would see the glory of God?

41

So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

42

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

43

Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

44

And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.
