Johannes 11 :38 - 44

Lazarus raised from the dead

Jesus,once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
Take away the stone, he said.
But, lord, said martha, the sister of the dead man,
By this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.
Then jesus said, did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of god?
So they took away the stone.
Then jesus looked up and said, father, I thank you that you have heard me.
I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.
When he had said this, jesus called in a loud voice, lazarus, come out! The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen,
And a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, take off the grave cloths and let him go.
