John 11:17-44
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
17Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb afour days. 18Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles ▼▼Greek fifteen stadia; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters
off, 19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary cto console them concerning their brother. 20 dSo when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21Martha said to eJesus, “Lord, fif you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, gGod will give you.” 23Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 hMartha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in ithe resurrection on the last day.” 25Jesus said to her, j“I am the resurrection and kthe life. ▼▼Some manuscripts omit and the life
Whoever believes in me, mthough he die, nyet shall he live, 26and everyone who lives and believes in me oshall never die. Do you believe this?” 27She said to him, “Yes, Lord; pI believe that qyou are the Christ, the Son of God, rwho is coming into the world.” Jesus Weeps
28When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, s“The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31When the Jews twho were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, u“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he vwas deeply moved ▼▼Or was indignant; also verse 38
in his spirit and xgreatly troubled. 34And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 yJesus wept. 36So the Jews said, “See zhow he loved him!” 37But some of them said, “Could not he aawho opened the eyes of the blind man abalso have kept this man from dying?” Jesus Raises Lazarus
38Then Jesus, acdeeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was ada cave, and aea stone lay against it. 39Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for afhe has been dead four days.” 40Jesus said to her, ag“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see ahthe glory of God?” 41So they took away the stone. And Jesus ailifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 ajI knew that you always hear me, but I said this akon account of the people standing around, althat they may believe that you sent me.” 43When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 amThe man who had died came out, anhis hands and feet bound with linen strips, and aohis face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
