 Here’s the full moment in a clean modern phrasing:

Jesus called in a loud voice,

“Lazarus, come out!”

The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with linen strips, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them,

“Unbind him, and let him go.”

That scene is from John 11:43–44.

What it means, in plain language:

Jesus isn’t just comforting people there—he’s showing authority over death itself. He calls Lazarus by name, and Lazarus responds. Then Jesus tells the people around him to unwrap Lazarus, which gives the moment this wild mix of miracle and human participation: Jesus raises him, and the community helps free him.

A powerful paraphrase:

“Lazarus, step out of death.

Come into the light.

You are not staying in that grave.

Be free.”

If you want this for something specific—sermon, tattoo, poem, prayer, or dramatic reading—I can shape it for that exactly.
