84 EARLY WISDOM GOSPELS
When that woman heard, she got up quickly and came to him.
Now, Yeshua had not yet come into the village, and he was still at the place
where Martha had met him.
The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Miryam
quickly get up and go out, and they followed her, thinking that she was going
to the tomb to weep there. Miryam came to where Yeshua was, and seeing him
she fell at his feet, saying to him, "Sir, if you had been here my brother would
not have died."
When Yeshua saw her weeping and that the Jews who had come with her
were weeping, he raged at his own spirit, harrowed himself, and said,
"Where have you laid him?"
They said to him, "Sir, come and see."
Yeshua wept.
Then the Jews were saying, "See how he loved him."
But some of them said, "Couldn't he who opened the eyes of the blind man
have done something so this man wouldn't die?"
Yeshua again raged inwardly and went to the tomb.
It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
Yeshua said,
"Lift the stone."
The sister of the one who died, Martha, said to Yeshua,
"Lord, he already stinks. It's the fourth day."
Yeshua said to her,
"Did I not tell you that if you believed
you would see the glory of god?"
So they lifted the stone.
Yeshua lifted his eyes up and said,
"Father, I thank you for hearing me,
and I know that you always hear me
but because of the crowd that is around me
I spoke so they would believe you sent me."
After saying this, in a great voice he cried out,
"Eleazar, come out!"
The one who had died came out, bound feet and hands in grave clothes
and his face wrapped around in a cloth.
Yeshua said to them,
"Untie him and let him go."
