John 11:32-45

(Lazarus come out!)

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him,
     she fell at his feet and said to him,
     "Lord, if you had been here,
     my brother would not have died."
When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping,
     he became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said,
     "Where have you laid him?"
They said to him, "Sir, come and see."
And Jesus wept.
So the Jews said, "See how he loved him."
But some of them said,
     "Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man
     have done something so that this man would not have died?"
So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb.
It was a cave, and a stone lay across it.
Jesus said, "Take away the stone."
Martha, the dead man's sister, said to him,
     "Lord, by now there will be a stench;
     he has been dead for four days."
Jesus said to her,
     "Did I not tell you that if you believe
     you will see the glory of God?"
So they took away the stone.
And Jesus raised his eyes and said,
     "Father, I thank you for hearing me.
I know that you always hear me;
     but because of the crowd here I have said this,
     that they may believe that you sent me."
And when he had said this,
     he cried out in a loud voice,
     "Lazarus, come out!"
The dead man came out,
     tied hand and foot with burial bands,
     and his face was wrapped in a cloth.
So Jesus said to the crowd,
     "Untie him and let him go."
Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary
     and seen what he had done began to believe in him.
