Jesus' Prayer at Lazarus' Tomb

A public thanksgiving that strengthens faith.

Jesus thanks the Father for hearing him, praying aloud so the crowd will believe he was sent by God.

Scripture

John 11:41-42

41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.

42 I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
