¹⁴ And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.

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.

¹² For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.

¹⁷ (As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.

⁴⁰ But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.

⁴¹ And he took her hand, lifting her up; and, sending for the saints and widows, he gave her to them, living.

⁴³ Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

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.

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;

²⁸ Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,

²⁹ And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

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.

⁵⁴ But he, taking her hand, said to her, My child, get up.

⁵⁵ And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.

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.

¹⁹ Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.

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

¹⁴ If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

¹² So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.

²¹ And stretching herself out on the child three times, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord my God, be pleased to let this child's life come back to him again.
