40 Jesús le dice: ¿No te he dicho que, si creyeres, verás la gloria de Dios?

41 Entonces quitaron la piedra de donde el muerto había sido puesto. Y Jesús, alzando los ojos arriba, dijo: Padre, gracias te doy que me has oído.

42 Que yo sabía que siempre me oyes; mas por causa de la compañía que está alrededor, lo dije, para que crean que tú me has enviado.

43 Y habiendo dicho estas cosas, clamó á gran voz: Lázaro, ven fuera.

44 Y el que había estado muerto, salió, atadas las manos y los pies con vendas; y su rostro estaba envuelto en un sudario. Díceles Jesús: Desatadle, y dejadle ir.
