nd see. (35)Jesus wept. (36)Then said the Jews,
Behold, how he loved him! (37)But some of them said, Could not this
man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person
should not have died? (38)Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh
to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it.
(39)Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha,
said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead
four days. (40)Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou
wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? (41)Then they
removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his
eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me!
(42)And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the

know nothing, (50)nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one
man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not
destroyed. (51)And this he spake not from himself: but being the
high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the
nation; (52)and not for that nation only, but that he should collect
into one body the children of God wherever dispersed. (53)Then from
