28. After she said this, she left and secretly told her sister Miriam, “The Teacher is here, and He’s calling for you.”
29. As soon as Miriam heard, she quickly got up and was coming to Him.
30. Now Yeshua had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met Him.
31. The Judeans, who were with Miriam in the house and comforting her, seeing how quickly she got up and went out, followed her. They thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32. So when Miriam came to where Yeshua was, she saw Him and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Master, if You had been here, my brother would not have died!”
33. When Yeshua saw her weeping, and the Judeans who came with her weeping, He was deeply troubled in spirit and Himself agitated.
34. “Where have you laid him?” He asked. “Come and see, Master,” they tell Him.
35. Yeshua wept.
36. So the Judeans said, “See how He loved him!”
37. But some of them said, “Couldn’t this One, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have also kept this man from dying?”
38. So Yeshua, again deeply troubled within Himself, comes to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39. Yeshua says, “Roll away the stone!” Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to Him, “Master, by this time he stinks! He’s been dead for four days!”
40. Yeshua says to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41. So they rolled away the stone. Yeshua lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard Me.
42. I knew that You always hear Me; but because of this crowd standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”
