John 11:19-31 ▼

19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them about their brother.

20 So then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed in the house.

21 Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise from the dead.”

24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies,

26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have come to believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, and He who comes into the world.”

28 When she had said this, she left and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

29 And when she heard this, she got up quickly and came to Him.

30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha met Him.

31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw that Mary had gotten up quickly and left, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
