John 11:38-44

38Jesus, intensely moved again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)

39Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, replied, “Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell, because he has been buried four days.”

40Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?”

41So they took away the stone. Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.

42I knew that you always listen to me, but I said this for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

43When he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”

44The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, and a cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him go.”
