us go unto him.
16
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us
also go, that we may die with him.
17
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had
lain
in the grave
four days already.
18
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19
And
many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20
Then
Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat
still
in the
house.
21
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give
it
thee.
23
Jesus saith
unto her,
Thy brother shall rise again.
24
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in
the resurrection at the last day.
25
Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in
me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27
She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art
the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28
And when she had so said, she
went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29
As soon as she heard
that,
she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30
Now Jesus was not yet come
into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31
The Jews then which were with her
in the house, and comforted her, when they sawMary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed
her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
32
Then when Mary was come where Jesus
was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.
33
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which
came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34
And said,
Where have ye laid him?
They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35
Jesus wept.
36
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved
him!
37
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused
that even this man should not have died?
38
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to
the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39
Jesus said,
Take ye away the stone.
Martha, the
sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been
dead
four days.
40
Jesus saith unto her,
Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest
see the glory of God?
41
Then they took away the stone
from the place
where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up
his
eyes, and said,
Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42
And I knew
that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said

that they may believe
that thou hast sent me.

Lazarus, come
forth.

was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them,

Then many
of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

men
will believe on him: and the Romans
shall come and take away both our place and nation.
