When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)

Jesus, intensely moved again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)
