⁹The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
¹⁰I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
¹¹I said, I shall not see the Lord, even the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
¹²Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
¹³I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
¹⁴Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
¹⁵What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
¹⁶O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
¹⁷Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
¹⁸For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
¹⁹The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
²⁰The Lord was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

¹⁷Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
¹⁸Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
¹⁹And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
²⁰Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
²¹Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
²²But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
²³Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
²⁴Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
²⁶And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
²⁷She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
²⁸And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
²⁹As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
³⁰Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
³¹The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
³²Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
³³When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
³⁴And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
³⁵Jesus wept.
³⁶Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
³⁷And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
³⁸Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
³⁹Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
⁴⁰Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
⁴¹Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
⁴²And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
⁴³And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
⁴⁴And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
