* Now , one Lazarus , of Bethany , the village of Mary and her sister Martha , was sick . * (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with balsam , and wiped his feet with her hair , whose brother Lazarus was sick .) * The sisters , therefore , sent to tell Jesus , Master , lo ! he whom you love , is sick . * Jesus hearing it , said , * Now Jesus loved Martha , and her sister , and Lazarus . * Having , then , heard that he was sick , Jesus staid two days in the place where he was . * Afterward , he said to the disciples , * The disciples answered , Rabbi , but very lately the Jews would have stoned you , and you would return thither ? * Jesus replied , lont @John:11:10 " /> * Having spoken this , he added , * Then said his disciples , Master , if he sleep , he will recover . * Jesus spoke of his death ; but they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep . * Then Jesus told them plainly , lont @John:11:15 " /> * Then Thomas , that is , Didymus , said to his fellow disciples , Let us go , that we may die with him . * When Jesus came , he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb . * Now , (Bethany being about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem ,) * many of the Jews came to Martha , and Mary , to comfort them on the death of their brother . * Martha having heard that Jesus was coming , went and met him ; but Mary remained in the house . * Then Martha said to Jesus , Master , if you had been here , my brother had not died . * But I know that even now , whatever you shall ask of God , God will give you . * Jesus said to her , * Martha replied , I know that he will rise at the resurrection , on the last day . * Jesus said to her , lont @John:11:26 " /> * She answered , Yes , Master , I believe that you are the Messiah , the Son of God , He who comes into the world . * Having said this , she went and called Mary , her sister , aside , saying , The Teacher is come , and calls for you . * When Mary heard this , she instantly rose and went to him . * Now Jesus had not yet entered the village , but was in the place where Martha met him . * The Jews , then , who were condoling with Mary in the house , when they saw that she arose hastily , and went out , followed her , saying , She is going to the tomb to weep there . * Mary being come to the place where Jesus was , and seeing him , threw herself at his feet , saying , Had you be here , Master , my brother had not died . * When Jesus saw her weeping , and the Jews weeping , who came with her , he groaned deeply , and was troubled , * and said , They answered , and said , Master , come and see . * Jesus wept . * The Jews , therefore , said , Mark how he loved him . * But some of them said , Could not he who gave sight to the blind man , even have prevented this man 's death ? * Jesus , therefore , again , groaning , came to the tomb . It was a cave , the entrance of which was shut up with a stone . * Jesus said , Martha , the sister of the deceased , answered , Sir , by this time , the smell is offensive , for this is the fourth day . * Jesus replied , * Then they removed the stone . And Jesus , lifting up his eyes , said , lont @John:11:42 " /> * After these words , raising his voice , he cried , * He who had been dead , came forth , bound hand and foot with fillets , and his face wrapped in a handkerchief . Jesus said to them , * Many , therefore , of the Jews , who had come to Mary , and seen what he did , believed on him . * But some of the repaired to the Pharisees , and told them what Jesus had done .
