³⁸ This made Jesus chafe afresh, so he went to the tomb; it was a cave with a boulder to close it. ³⁹ Jesus said, "Remove the boulder." "Lord," said Martha, the dead man's sister, "he will be stinking by this time; he has been dead four days." ⁴⁰ "Did I not tell you," said Jesus, "if you will only believe, you shall see the glory of God?" ⁴¹ Then they removed the boulder, and Jesus, lifting his eyes to heaven, said, "Father, I thank thee for listening to me. ⁴² (I knew thou wouldst always listen to me, but I spoke on account of the crowd around, that they might believe thou hast sent me.)" ⁴³ So saying, he exclaimed with a loud cry, "Lazarus, come out!" ⁴⁴ Out came the dead man, his feet and hands swathed in bandages, and his face tied up with a towel. Jesus said, "Untie him, and let him move."

¹ Six days before the festival, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus stayed (whom Jesus had raised from the dead).

¹⁹ There was a rich man, clad in purple and fine linen, who lived sumptuously every day. ²⁰ Outside his door lay a poor man called Lazarus; he was a mass of ulcers, ²¹ and fain to eat up the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. (The very dogs used to come and lick his ulcers.) ²² Now it happened that the poor man died, and he was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man died too, and was buried. ²³ And as he was being tortured in Hades he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus in his bosom; ²⁴ so he called out, 'Father Abraham, take pity on me, send Lazarus to dip his fingertip in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in these flames.' ²⁵ But Abraham said, 'Remember, my son, you got all the bliss when you were alive, just as Lazarus got the ills of life; he is in comfort now, and you are in anguish. ²⁶ Besides all that, a great gulf yawns between us and you, to keep back those who want to cross from us to you and also those who want to pass from you to us.' ²⁷ Then he said, 'Well, father, I beg you to send him to my father's house, ²⁸ for I have five brothers; let him bear testimony to them, that they may not come to this place of torture as well.' ²⁹ 'They have got Moses and the prophets,' said Abraham, 'they can listen to them.' ³⁰ 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone only goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' ³¹ He said to him, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced, not even if one rose from the dead."

¹ Now there was a man ill, Lazarus of Bethany — the village of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill was the Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair.) ³ so the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill." ⁴ When Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness is not to end in death; the end of it is the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby." ⁵ [Relocated to follow vs 2] Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus; ⁶ So, when he heard of the illness, he stayed where he was for two days; then, ⁷ after that, he said to the disciples, "Let us go back to Judaea." ⁸ "Rabbi," said the disciples, "the Jews were trying to stone you only the other day; are you going back there?" ⁹ Jesus replied, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If one walks during the day he does not stumble, for he sees the light of this world: ¹⁰ but if one walks during the night he does stumble, for the light is not in him." ¹¹ This he said, then added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; I am going to waken him." ¹² "Lord," said the disciples, "if he has fallen asleep, he will get better." ¹³ Jesus, however, had been speaking of his death; but as they imagined he meant natural sleep, ¹⁴ he then told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead;
