John 11:28-38

28After Martha had said this, she went back home and whispered to her sister Mary, “The teacher is here, and he is calling for you.”

29When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus.

30(Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still where Martha had met him.)

31The Jews who were comforting Mary in the house saw her get up quickly and leave. So they followed her. They thought that she was going to the tomb to cry.

32When Mary arrived where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who were crying with her, he was deeply moved and troubled.

34So Jesus asked, “Where did you put Lazarus?” They answered him, “Lord, come and see.”

35Jesus cried.

36The Jews said, “See how much Jesus loved him.”

37But some of the Jews asked, “Couldn’t this man who gave a blind man sight keep Lazarus from dying?”

38Deeply moved again, Jesus went to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone covering the entrance.
