I knew that you always hear me; but I said it for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.”
In context
40Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” 41So they took away the stone. Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me. 42I knew that you always hear me; but I said it for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” 43And with that, he called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44The dead man came out, his feet and hands bound with strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Untie him, and let him go.”
