⁴⁴ And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

⁷ And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest.

¹⁸ And I was dead, and see, I am living for ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hell.

²¹ By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

⁹ And a certain young man named Eutychus, who was seated in the window, went into a deep sleep; and while Paul went on talking, being overcome by sleep, he had a fall from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

¹⁰ And Paul went down and, falling on him, took him in his arms and said, Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.

¹¹ And when he had gone up, and had taken the broken bread, he went on talking to them for a long time, even till dawn, and then he went away.

¹² And they took the boy in, living, and were greatly comforted.

⁵ And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

³⁹ Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

²⁶ And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

³⁰ I and my Father are one.

²⁵ Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

²¹ In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

¹⁵ And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.

⁴³ And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

¹⁴ I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.

³ And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.

⁴ And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.

⁵ This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;

⁶ And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

⁷ So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

⁸ And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.

⁹ And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.

¹⁰ And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.

⁹ For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

⁶ The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up.

³ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
