Bible: John 11:39-45
11:39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” 1 Martha, the sister of the deceased, 2 replied, “Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell, 3 because he has been buried 4 four days.” 5 11:40 Jesus responded, 6 “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you would see the glory of God?” 11:41 So they took away 7 the stone. Jesus looked upward 8 and said, “Father, I thank you that you have listened to me. 9 11:42 I knew that you always listen to me, 10 but I said this 11 for the sake of the crowd standing around here, that they may believe that you sent me.” 11:43 When 12 he had said this, he shouted in a loud voice, 13 “Lazarus, come out!” 11:44 The one who had died came out, his feet and hands tied up with strips of cloth, 14 and a cloth wrapped around his face. 15 Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him 16 and let him go.”
The Response of the Jewish Leaders
