So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay across it.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to him, “Lord, by now there
will be a stench; he has been dead for four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you
believe you will see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and
said, “Father,* I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me; but because of the
crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you sent me.” And when he had said this,
he cried out in a loud voice,* “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, tied hand and foot
with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let
him go.”
