John 11:17-46
17) So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18) Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
19) Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20) Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21) Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn‘t have died.
22) Even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23) Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24) Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
25) Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet will he live.
26) Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
27) She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God‘s Son, he who comes into the world."
28) When she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
29) She, when she heard this, arose quickly, and went to him.
30) Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.
31) Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there."
32) Mary therefore, when she came to where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn‘t have died."
33) When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34) and said, "Where have you laid him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
35) Jesus wept.
36) The Jews therefore said, "See how much affection he had for him!"
37) Some of them said, "Couldn‘t this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also caused that this man wouldn‘t die?"
38) Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39) Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
40) Jesus said to her, "Didn‘t I tell you that if you believed, you would see God‘s glory?"
41) So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42) I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43) When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
44) He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
45) Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw that which Jesus did, believed in him.
46) But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
Romans 4:17-21
17) As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is before him whom he believed, God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
18) Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."
19) Without being weakened in faith, he didn‘t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah‘s womb.
20) Yet, looking to the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21) and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
