Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said: »Father, I thank you that you hear me. ⁴² »I knew that you always hear me. But because of the crowd that stands here I said it, that they may believe that you did send me.« ⁴³ After he finished he cried out loud: »Lazarus, come out!« ⁴⁴ He that was dead came out. He was bound hand and foot with grave-clothes and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus commanded them: »Unwrap him and let him go.«

Take pity on me! Please send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool off my tongue. I am in torment in this fire! ²⁵ »Abraham said: Remember, my son, in your lifetime you were given good things, while Lazarus got all the bad things. Now he is enjoying himself while you are in torment. ²⁶ »There is a deep pit lying between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so. And no one can cross over to us from where you are. ²⁷ »The rich man said: I beg you, father Abraham, send Lazarus to my father’s house. ²⁸ »Have him go warn my five brothers that they will not come to this place of torment. ²⁹ »Abraham said: Your brothers have Moses and the prophets to warn them. They should listen to them. ³⁰ »The rich man responded: It is not enough father Abraham! If someone from the dead went to them they would repent. ³¹ »Abraham said: If they would not listen to Moses and the prophets, they would not listen to someone from the dead.«

¹ A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived at Bethany where his sisters Mary and Martha lived. ² This is the same Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair. It was her brother Lazarus who was sick. ³ The sisters therefore sent for the Lord, They said: »The one for whom you have great affection is sick.« ⁴ When Jesus heard it he said: »This sickness will not end in death. It is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.« ⁵ Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ When he heard the news he stayed where he was for two days. ⁷ After this he said to the disciples: »Let us go to Judea again.« ⁸ The disciples said: »Rabbi, the Jews were seeking to stone you and you go there?« ⁹ Jesus answered: »Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ »But if a man walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.« ¹¹ Then he told them: »Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. I go to wake him out of sleep.« ¹² The disciples said, »Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he would recover.« ¹³ Jesus spoke of his death. They thought he spoke of taking rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Then Jesus said plainly: »Lazarus is dead!«
