There were many people with Jesus when he raised Lazarus from death and told him to come out of the tomb. {\cf2\super [196]} Now those people were telling other people about what Jesus did.
The Jews who had come were with Mary in the house. They were comforting her. They saw Mary stand and leave quickly. They thought that she was going to the tomb {\cf2\super [178]} \{of Lazarus\}. They thought she was going there to cry. So they followed her.
Many of the Jews heard that Jesus was in Bethany. So they went there to see Jesus. They also went there to see Lazarus. Lazarus was the one Jesus raised from death.
(The one who saw this happen has told about it. He told about it so that you also can believe. The things he says are true. He knows that he tells the truth.)
We saw all these things happen, and we can say these things are true. The Holy Spirit {\cf2\super [100]} also shows that these things are true. God has given the Spirit to all people that obey him.”
