John 11:37-50

[37] And  some  of  them  said,  Could  not  this man,  which  opened  the eyes  of the blind,  have caused  that  even  this man  not  have died?  [38] Jesus  therefore  again  groaning  in  himself  cometh  to  the grave.  a cave,  and  a stone  lay  upon  it.  [39] Jesus  said,  Take ye away  the stone.  Martha,  the sister  saith  unto him,  Lord,  by this time  he stinketh:  for  dead four days.  [40] Jesus  saith  unto her,  Said I  not  that,  if  thou wouldest believe,  the glory  of God?  [41] Then  they took away  the stone  And  Jesus  lifted  up  his eyes,  and  said,  Father,  I thank  that  thou hast heard  [42] And  knew  that  thou hearest  always:  but  because  of the people  which  stand by  I said  it, that  they may believe  that  thou  hast sent  [43] And  had spoken,  he cried  with a loud  voice,  Lazarus,  come  forth.  [44] And  he that was dead  came forth,  bound  hand  and  foot  with graveclothes:  and  his  face  was bound about  with a napkin.  Jesus  saith  unto them,  Loose  him,  and  let him  go.  [45] Then  many  of  the Jews  which  came  to  Mary,  and  had seen  the things which  did,  believed  on  him.  [46] But  some  of  them  went their ways  to  the Pharisees,  and  told  them  what things  Jesus  had done.  [47] Then  gathered  the chief priests  and  the Pharisees  a council,  and  What  do we?  for  this  man  doeth  many  miracles.  [48] If  him  thus  alone,  all  men will believe  on  him:  and  the Romans  shall come  and  take away  both  place  and  nation.  [49] And  one  of  them,  named Caiaphas,  the high priest  that same  year,  said  unto them,  know  nothing at all,  [50] Nor  that  it is expedient  that  one  man  should die  for  the people,  and  that the whole  nation  perish  not.
