38 So Yeshua who was still holding back sobs, went to the cemetery. Lazarus’ body had been placed in a cave with a stone blocking it, 39 and Yeshua instructed them to take away the stone.

Martha (the sister of the dead man) spoke up, “Master, the stink will be bad because it’s already been four days.”

40 But Yeshua responded, “Didn’t I tell you that if you would believe, then you would see God’s power?” 41 So they took the stone away and Yeshua looked upwards and said, “Father, I thank you that you listen to me. 42 Actually I know that you always hear me, but I said that for the sake of these people so that they will believe that it was you who sent me here.” 43 After saying that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 Then the man who had died slowly shuffled out—still with linen strips wrapped around his hands and his feet, and a cloth wrapped around his face.
