17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb ^bfour days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles¹ off, 19 and 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. 21 Martha said to ^eJesus, “Lord, ^fif you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, ^gGod will give you.” 23 Jesus 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.” 25 Jesus said to her, ^j“I am the resurrection and ^kthe life.² Whoever believes in me, ^lthough he die, ^myet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me ⁿshall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; ^oI believe that ^pyou are the Christ, the Son of God, ^qwho is coming into the world.”

38 Then Jesus, ^adeeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was ^ba cave, and ^ca stone lay against it. 39 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 ^dhe has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, ^e“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see ^fthe glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus ^glifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 ^hI knew that you always hear me, but I said this ⁱon account of the people standing around, ^jthat they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 ^kThe man who had died came out, ^lhis hands and feet bound with linen strips, and ^mhis face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
