<p class="bodytext">The Jewish leaders<n id="1" /> picked up rocks again to stone him to death.

Then they picked up<n id="1" /> stones to throw at him,<n id="2" /> but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.<n id="3" />p>

When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight<n id="1" /> and replied,<n id="2" /> &#8220;Whoever among you is guiltless<n id="3" /> may be the first to throw a stone at her.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Jesus, intensely moved<n id="1" /> again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)<n id="2" />

Jesus said, &#8220;Take away the stone.&#8221;<n id="1" /> Martha, the sister of the deceased,<n id="2" /> replied, &#8220;Lord, by this time the body will have a bad smell,<n id="3" /> because he has been buried<n id="4" /> four days.&#8221;<n id="5" />

So they took away<n id="1" /> the stone. Jesus looked upward<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Father, I thank you that you have listened to me.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now very early on the first day of the week,<n id="1" /> while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene<n id="2" /> came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance.<n id="3" />
