TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

11:17Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

11:18Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

11:19And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

11:20Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

11:21Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

11:22But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

11:23Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

11:24Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

11:25Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

11:26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

11:27She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

11:28And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

11:29As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

11:30Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

11:31The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

11:32Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

11:33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,

11:34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

11:35Jesus wept.

11:36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

Selected passage

11:37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

Selected passage

Selected passage

11:40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
