riversident@John:11:4 @ When Jesus heard it he said,

riversident@John:11:5 @ Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

riversident@John:11:6 @ So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed where he was two days.

riversident@John:11:8 @ The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, just now the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"

riversident@John:11:9 @ Jesus answered,

riversident@John:11:10" />

riversident@John:11:11 @ He said this, and then he said to them,

riversident@John:11:12 @ The disciples said to him, "Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

riversident@John:11:14 @ Then Jesus said to them frankly,

riversident@John:11:15" />

riversident@John:11:16 @ Thomas, who is called Didymus (note:)the Twin(:note), said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too to die with him."

riversident@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came he found that Lazarus had been already four days in the tomb.

riversident@John:11:18 @ Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,

riversident@John:11:19 @ and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them regarding their brother.

riversident@John:11:20 @ When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. Mary was sitting in the house.

riversident@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died.

riversident@John:11:22 @ And now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you."

riversident@John:11:23 @ Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:11:24 @ Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise at the resurrection on the last day."

riversident@John:11:25 @ Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:11:26" />

riversident@John:11:27 @ She said to him, "Yes, Master. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

riversident@John:11:28 @ Having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister, saying to her privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."

riversident@John:11:29 @ She, when she heard it, rose quickly and went to meet him.

riversident@John:11:30 @ Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

riversident@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were with Mary in the house trying to comfort her, seeing her rise quickly and go out, followed thinking that she was going to the tomb to wail there.

riversident@John:11:32 @ When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died."

riversident@John:11:33 @ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he was indignant in spirit and disturbed,

riversident@John:11:34 @ and said, They said to him, "Master, come and see."

riversident@John:11:35 @ Jesus wept.

riversident@John:11:36 @ The Jews said, "See, how he loved him!"

riversident@John:11:37 @ Some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have prevented this man from dying?"

riversident@John:11:38 @ Jesus, again indignant, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying on the entrance.

riversident@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Master, he is already offensive, for he has been dead four days."

riversident@John:11:40 @ Jesus said to her,

riversident@John:11:41 @ So they took away the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,

riversident@John:11:42" />

riversident@John:11:43 @ After saying this he called in a loud voice,

riversident@John:11:44 @ Forth came the dead man, swathed feet and hands in grave-clothes and his face bound up in a handkerchief. Jesus said,

riversident@John:11:45 @ Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him.

riversident@John:11:46 @ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
