Jn 11, 1-45 Luego gritó con voz potente: “¡Lázaro, sal de allí!”

Jn 11:1-45 At that time, Lazarus was sick in Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who had once anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. The sick man was their brother Lazarus. So the two sisters sent word to Jesus, saying, “Lord, your beloved is sick.” When Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death, but will glorify God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus. However, when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed there for two more days. Then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” The disciples said to him, “Teacher, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going back there?” Jesus answered them, “Are there not twelve hours in a day? Whoever walks by day does not stumble, for they see the light of this world; but whoever walks by night stumbles, for they have no light.” He said this and then added, “Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep; but I go now to awaken him.” Then his disciples said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover.” Jesus was speaking of death, but they thought he was speaking of natural sleep. Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, and I am glad for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. Now let us go there.” Then Thomas, also called the Twin, said to the other disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” When Jesus arrived, Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Bethany was near Jerusalem, about a mile and a half away, and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them over their brother’s death. As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I am sure that God will grant you whatever you ask of him.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, even if they die, will live; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She answered, “Yes, Lord. I firmly believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world.” After saying these words, she went to find her sister Mary and said to her in a low voice, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” When Mary heard this, she got up immediately and went to Jesus, for he had not yet arrived in the town, but was in the place where Martha had found him. The Jews who were with Mary in the house, comforting her, saw her get up and leave quickly, and thought she was going to the tomb to weep there, so they followed her. When Mary came to Jesus, she saw him and fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he was deeply moved and asked, "Where have they laid him?" They answered, "Come, Lord, and see." Jesus began to weep, and the Jews said to each other, "How he loved him!" Some said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the man born blind, have kept Lazarus from dying?" Jesus, still deeply moved, stood before the tomb, which was a cave, sealed with a stone. Then Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” But Martha, the sister of the man who had died, replied, “Lord, the stench already appears, for he has been dead for four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” Then they removed the stone. Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me; but I have said this because of this crowd around me, so that they may believe that you sent me.” Then he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with linen cloths, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him, so that he may walk.” Many of the Jews who had come to Martha and Mary, when they saw what Jesus had done, believed in him.
