John 11:32-45
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him,
she fell at his feet
and said to him,
"Lord, if you had been here,
my brother would not
have died."
When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping,
he became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said,
"Where
have you laid him?"
They said to him, "Sir,
come and see."
And Jesus wept.
So the Jews said, "See how he loved him."
But some of them said,
"Could not the one who opened the eyes of
the blind man
have done something so that this man would not have died?"
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."
Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary
and
seen what he had done began to believe in him.
The Gospel of the Lord.
