Bible verses about "lazarus" | Wesley

³⁸ Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. ³⁹ Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith to him, Lord, by this time he stinketh; for he hath been buried four days. ⁴⁰ Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? ⁴¹ Then they took away the stone from where the dead lay. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, ⁴² Father, I thank thee, that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but I spake this, because of the people who stand by, that they may believe thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And having spoken thus, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. ⁴⁴ And he that had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapt about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.

¹ Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead.

¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted splendidly every day. ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores; ²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: yea, the dogs also came and licked his sores. ²² And the beggar died and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died and was buried: ²³ And in hell lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember, that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you, there is a great gulph fixed; so that they who would pass from us to you, cannot, neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. ²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee, therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: ²⁸ For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. ²⁹ Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. ³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded tho' one rose from the dead.

¹ Now one Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick. ² (It was that Mary, who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick) Therefore his sisters sent to him, ³ saying, Lord, behold he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ Jesus hearing it, said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. So after he had heard that he was sick, ⁶ he abode still two days in the place where he was. ⁷ Then after this he saith to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. ⁸ The disciples say to him, Master, the Jews but now sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again? ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if any man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. ¹¹ Thus he spake, and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go to awake him. ¹² Then the disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he will recover. ¹³ Jesus spake of his death, but they thought he had spoken of the natural rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sake I was not there, that ye may believe:
