I know him because I've come from him, and he sent me."

He asked, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."

After saying this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

Many of the Jews who had come with Mary and who had observed what Jesus did believed in him.

After Jesus had said this, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you.
