Then when Iesus came, hee found that hee had lien in the graue foure dayes already.

(Now Bethanie was nigh vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs off:)

And many of the Iewes came to Martha, and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Then Martha, as soone as shee heard that Iesus was comming, went and met him: but Mary sate still in the house.

Then saide Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not died.

But I know, that euen now, whatsoeuer thou wilt aske of God, God will giue it thee.

Iesus saith vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe.

Martha sayeth vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day.

Iesus said vnto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: hee that beleeueth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he liue.

And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth in mee, shall neuer die. Beleeuest thou this?

She saith vnto him, Yea Lord, I beleeue that thou art the Christ the Sonne of God, which should come into the world.

When Iesus therefore sawe her weeping, and the Iewes also weeping which came with her, hee groned in the Spirit, and was troubled,

And said, Where haue ye laid him? They say vnto him, Lord, come, & see.

Iesus wept.

Then said the Iewes, Behold, how he loued him.

And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue caused that euen this man should not haue died?
