Part 19

43:011:024 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

43:011:025 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

43:011:026 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

43:011:027 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

43:011:028 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

43:011:029 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

43:011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.

43:011:031 The 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.

43:011:032 Then 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.

43:011:033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.

43:011:034 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

43:011:035 Jesus wept.

43:011:036 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

43:011:037 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?

43:011:038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

43:011:039 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.

43:011:040 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

43:011:041 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.

43:011:042 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.

43:011:043 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

43:011:044 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

43:011:045 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

43:011:046 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

43:011:047 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

43:011:048 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

43:011:049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

43:011:050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

43:011:051 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
