John 11:19-31 ▼

19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary sat still in the house.

21 Then Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother would not have died.

22 But even now, I know that whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give thee.

23 Jesus said to her: Your brother shall rise again.

24 Martha said to him: I know that he will rise, in the resurrection at the last day.

25 Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live;

26 and he that lives and believes on me, shall never die. Do you believe this?

27 She said to him: Yes, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

28 And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying: The Teacher has come, and calls for you.

29 When she heard it, she rose quickly and came to him.

30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

31 Then the Jews that were with her in the house, and were comforting her, seeing Mary rise and go out quickly, followed her, saying: She is going to the tomb to weep there.
