4. When Jesus got the message, he said, “This sickness is not fatal. It will become an occasion to show God’s glory by glorifying God’s Son.”
8. They said, “Rabbi, you can’t do that. The Jews are out to kill you, and you’re going back?”
34-35. “Master, come and see,” they said. Now Jesus wept.
36. The Jews said, “Look how deeply he loved him.”
37. Others among them said, “Well, if he loved him so much, why didn’t he do something to keep him from dying? After all, he opened the eyes of a blind man.”
38-39. Then Jesus, the anger again welling up within him, arrived at the tomb. It was a simple cave in the hillside with a slab of stone laid against it. Jesus said, “Remove the stone.”The sister of the dead man, Martha, said, “Master, by this time there’s a stench. He’s been dead four days!”
40. Jesus looked her in the eye. “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
