42I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
44He who was dead came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
45Therefore many of the Jews, who came to Mary and saw that which Jesus did, believed in him.
46But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
