But I know,
even now, whatever you ask of God, God will give it to you.
Jesus said to her, Your brother will rise again. Martha said, I know he
will rise again in the resurrection on the last day. Jesus said, I am
the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even if he is
dead, still will live. And whoever lives and believes in me will never
die. Do you believe this? She said, Yes, Lord. I believe that you are
the Messiah, the Son of God come into this world. And when she said
this, she went and called Mary, her sister, saying, The Master has come
and calls for you.
As soon as Mary heard, she got up quickly and went to Him. Jesus was
not yet in the town but was where Martha met Him. Some of the Jews who
were comforting her in the house saw Mary hastily rise up and go out.
They followed her, saying, She goes to the grave to weep there.
When Mary saw Jesus, she fell down at His feet saying to Him, Lord, if
you had been here my brother would not have died. When Jesus saw her
weeping, and those who came with her also weeping, He became troubled
and was very upset. He said, Where have you laid him? They said, Lord,
come and see. Jesus wept.
Then the Jews said, Look how much He loved him! And some of them said,
Could He, who opened the eyes of the blind, not have prevented this
man's death? Jesus, again upset, went to the grave.
