But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he will speak for himself.

Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepeth he will do well.

Now Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep.

Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: for he hath been [dead] four days.
