Jesus then told her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, shall live again.

Now there was a certain person sick, to wit, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and Martha her sister.

They say unto Him, Lord, come and see: and Jesus wept.

Having thus answered them, He afterwards saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him.

And when Jesus came, He found that he had been four days in the grave.

Then Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead:

But Jesus spake of his death; though they thought that He was speaking of the refreshment of sleep.

and I am glad for your sakes, I was not there, that ye may believe: but let us go to him.

Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, being but about fifteen furlongs from it:

and many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him: but Mary was sitting in the house.

And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, telling her privately, The Master is coming and calleth for thee.

Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw Him, fell down at his feet, saying unto Him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

But I know that even now whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will grant it thee.

Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble; for he seeth the light of this world:

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

(And it was Mary, that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

His sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

And he that had been dead came forth, having his feet and hands rolled up in grave-cloths: and his face bound about with a napkin. Then Jesus bid them, Loosen him and let him go.

So they took away the stone from the place where the corpse was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank Thee, that Thou hast heard me.

And when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Therefore when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed indeed two days in the place where He was:

The Jews therefore that were with her in the house to comfort her, seeing Mary that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the grave to weep there.

For Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him.

but if any one walk in the night, he stumbleth; because he hath no light.

Therefore the chief priests and the pharisees held a council and said, What are we doing? for this man worketh many miracles.

But Caiaphas who was one of them, being high-priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all;

nor do ye consider, that it is better for us that one man should die for the people, than that the whole nation should perish.

Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre: which was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

And Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Jesus therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping, that came with her, groaned in spirit and was troubled.

Therefore many of the Jews, that came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed on Him.

Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

and after that He saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea.

Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou believest, thou shalt see the glory of God?

But when Jesus heard it, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

Dost thou believe this? She saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

As soon as she heard it, she gets up with all speed and comes to Him.

Therefore his disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he will do well.

And every one that is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die.

Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto Him, Lord, by this time he is offensive; for it is the fourth day.

Wherefore Jesus appeared no longer publicly among the Jews; but went away from thence into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

The disciples say unto Him, Master, the Jews very lately attempted to stone thee, and art thou going thither again?

Now the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country, before the passover, to purify themselves.

This however he spake not of himself, but being high-priest at that time he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation:

If we suffer Him to go on thus, all the people will believe on Him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our place and nation.

and not for the Jewish nation only, but that he might also gather together the children of God that are dispersed.

I knew indeed that Thou always hearest me: but because of the people standing by I say this, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me.

but some of them said, Could not He, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused also that this man should not have died?

The Jews therefore said, Behold, how he loved him!

From that day therefore they consulted together to put Him to death.

And He said, Where have ye laid him?

Now both the chief priests and the pharisees had given order, that if any one knew where He was, he should inform them, that they might take Him.

But some of them went to the pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

So they sought for Jesus, and said to one another in the temple, What think ye? that He will not come to the feast?
