John 11:1-39

[1] Now  a certain  sick,  named Lazarus,  of  Bethany,  the town  of Mary  and  her  sister  Martha.  [2] that Mary  which  anointed  the Lord  with ointment,  and  wiped  his  feet  with her  hair,  whose  brother  Lazarus  was sick.)  [3] Therefore  his sisters  sent  unto  him,  saying,  Lord,  he whom  thou lovest  is sick.  [4] When  Jesus  heard  that, he said,  This  sickness  not  unto  death,  but  for  the glory  of God,  that  the Son  of God  might be glorified  thereby.  [5] Now  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and  her  sister,  and  Lazarus.  [6] When  he had heard  therefore  that  he was sick,  he abode  two  days  still  in  the same place  where  [7] Then  after  saith he  to his disciples,  Let us go  into  Judaea  again.  [8] His disciples  say  unto him,  Master,  the Jews  of late  sought  to stone  and  goest thou  thither  again?  [9] Jesus  answered,  not  twelve  hours  in the day?  If  any man  walk  in  the day,  he stumbleth  not,  because  he seeth  the light  world.  [10] But  if  a man  walk  in  the night,  he stumbleth,  because  no  light  in  him.  [11] said  he:  and  after  he saith  unto them,  friend  Lazarus  sleepeth;  but  I go,  that  him  out of sleep.  [12] Then  said  his  disciples,  Lord,  if  he sleep,  he shall do well.  [13] Howbeit  Jesus  spake  of  his  death:  but  they  thought  that  he had spoken  of  taking of rest  in sleep.  [14] Then  said  Jesus  unto them  plainly,  Lazarus  is dead.  [15] And  I am glad  for  that  not  there,  to the intent  ye may believe;  nevertheless  let us go  unto  him.  [16] Then  said  Thomas,  which  is called  Didymus,  unto his fellowdisciples,  also  go,  that  may die  with  him.  [17] Then  when Jesus  came,  he found  that he  had  lain in  the grave  four  days  already.  [18] Now  Bethany  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  here,  brother  not  [22] But  I know,  that even  now,  whatsoever  thou wilt ask  of God,  will give  [23] Jesus  saith  unto her,  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,  am  the resurrection,  and  the life:  he that believeth  in  though  he were dead,  yet shall he live:  [26] And  whosoever  liveth  and  believeth  in  die.  Believest thou  [27] She saith  unto him,  Yea,  Lord:  believe  that  thou  the Christ,  the Son  of God,  which  should come  into  the world.  [28] And  said,  she went her way,  and  called  Mary  her  sister  secretly,  saying,  The Master  is come,  and  calleth for  [29] As soon as  she  heard  that, she arose  quickly,  and  came  unto  him.  [30] Now  Jesus  not yet  come  into  the town,  but  in  that place  where  Martha  met  him.  [31] The Jews  then  which  with  her  in  the house,  and  comforted  her,  Mary,  that  she rose up  hastily  and  went out,  followed  her,  She goeth  unto  the grave  to  weep  there.  [32] Then  when  Mary  was come  where  Jesus  him,  she fell down  his  feet,  saying  unto him,  Lord,  if  here,  brother  had  not  died.  [33] When  Jesus  therefore  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  [35] Jesus  wept.  [36] Then  the Jews,  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  not  have died?  [38] Jesus  therefore  again  groaning  in  himself  cometh  to  the grave.  a cave,  and  a stone  lay  upon  it.  [39] Jesus  said,  Take ye away  the stone.  Martha,  the sister  saith  unto him,  Lord,  by this time  he stinketh:  for  dead four days.
