the
house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and
went out, followed her, saying: She goes to the tomb to weep there.

(32)Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell
down at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.

(33)Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who
came with her, groaned in spirit, and was troubled. (34)And he said:
Where have ye laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see. (35)Jesus
wept.

(36)The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him! (37)And some of
them said: Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have
caused even that this man should not have died? (38)Jesus therefore,
again groaning in himself, comes to the tomb. It was a cave, and a
stone lay upon it.

(39)Jesus says: Take away the stone. The sister of him that was dead,
Martha, says to him: Lord, by this time he is offensive; for he has
been dead four days. (40)Jesus says to her: Said I not to thee, that,
if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?

(41)So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes upward, and
said: Father, I thank thee that thou didst hear me. (42)And I knew

Lazarus, come forth. (44)And he that was dead came forth, bound hand
and foot with grave clothes; and his face was bound about with a
napkin. Jesus says to them: Loose him, and let him go.

(45)Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what he did,
believed on him. (46)But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and
told them what Jesus did.

(47)Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council,
and said: What do we, seeing that this man works many signs? (48)If we
let him thus alone, all will believe on him; and the Romans will come
and take away both our place and nation. (49)And a certain one of
them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: Ye know
nothing; (50)nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us, that one
man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish. (51)And this
he spoke not of himself; but being high priest that year, he
prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; (52)and not for the
nation only, but that also he should gather together into one the
