John - ch 11 v 41 - 56
- They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.

- When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
- And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.
- Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
- But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.

- But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
- Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
- And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.
- And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.

- They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
