John 11:39 in Context — John 11

37 Et quelques-uns d’entre eux dirent: Lui qui a ouvert les yeux de l’aveugle, ne pouvait-il pas faire aussi que cet homme ne mourût point?

38 Jésus frémissant de nouveau en lui-même, se rendit au sépulcre. C’était une grotte, et une pierre était placée devant.

39 Jésus dit: Otez la pierre. Marthe, la sœur du mort, lui dit: Seigneur, il sent déjà, car il y a quatre jours qu’il est là.

40 Jésus lui dit: Ne t’ai-je pas dit que, si tu crois, tu verras la gloire de Dieu?

41 Ils ôtèrent donc la pierre. Et Jésus leva les yeux en haut, et dit: Père, je te rends grâces de ce que tu m’as exaucé.
