John 11:35-40 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

35. Jesus cried.

36. So the Jews said, “See how much he loved him.”

37. But some of them said, “If Jesus healed the eyes of the blind man, why didn’t he keep Lazarus from dying?”

38. Again Jesus felt very sad in his heart. He came to the tomb. The tomb was a cave with a large stone covering the entrance.

39. Jesus said, “Move the stone away.”Martha said, “But, Lord, it has been four days since he died. There will be a bad smell.” Martha was the sister of the dead man.

40. Then Jesus said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
