John 11:33-44

33When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled.

34“Where have you put him?” he asked them. They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

35Then Jesus wept.

36The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!”

37But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?”

38Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance.

39“Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”

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

41So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me.

42You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.”

43Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”

44And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”
