John 11:42 in Context — John 11

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.

42 Pour moi, je savais que tu m’exauces toujours; mais j’ai parléà cause de la foule qui m’entoure, afin qu’ils croient que c’est toi qui m’as envoyé.

43 Ayant dit cela, il cria d’une voix forte: Lazare, sors!

44 Et le mort sortit, les pieds et les mains liés de bandes, et le visage enveloppé d’un linge. Jésus leur dit: Déliez-le, et laissez-le aller.
