While some of those Jews actually started believing, some went ahead and informed the Pharisees of this miracle. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”Īfter Lazarus was resurrected by the Lord, all those who stood there were astonished. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. Jesus 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 he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?” Jesus Raises Lazarus And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus wept. Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying 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 also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. ![]() When the Jews who 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.

Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.” Jesus Weeps Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. ![]() But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” After saying these things, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.” The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. Then after this, he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?” Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister and Lazarus. ![]()
