37. But some of them said, “If Jesus opened the eyes of the blind man, why couldn’t he keep Lazarus from dying?”
38. Again feeling very upset, Jesus came to the tomb. It was a cave with a large stone covering the entrance.
39. Jesus said, “Move the stone away.”Martha, the sister of the dead man, said, “But, Lord, it has been four days since he died. There will be a bad smell.”
40. Then Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”
41. So they moved the stone away from the entrance. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you heard me.
42. I know that you always hear me, but I said these things because of the people here around me. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
