37 But some of them said, Could not he who gave sight to the blind man, even have prevented this man's death?
38 Jesus, therefore, again, groaning, came to the tomb. It was a cave, the entrance of which was shut up with a stone.
39 Jesus said, Remove the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, answered, Sir, by this time, the smell is offensive, for this is the fourth day.
40 Jesus replied, Did I not say to you, If you believe, you shall see the glory of God?
41 Then they removed the stone. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes, said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 As for me, I know that thou hearest me always; but I speak, for the people's sake who surround me, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 After these words, raising his voice, he cried, Lazarus, come forth!
44 He who had been dead, came forth, bound hand and foot with fillets, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, Unbind him, and let him go.
45 Many, therefore, of the Jews, who had come to Mary, and seen what he did, believed on him.
46 But some of the repaired to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrim, and said, What are we doing? for this man works many miracles.
48 If we let him go on thus, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our place and our nation.
49 One of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You are utterly at a loss,
50 and do not consider, that it is better for us that one man die for the people, than that the whole nation should be ruined.
