Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 11
⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
⁴¹ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
⁴² And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me."
⁴³ Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
⁴⁴ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."
⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did.
⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.
⁴⁸ If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation."
⁴⁹ And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish."
