20. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; Maria was sitting at home.

21. Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord! if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

22. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.

23. Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

24. Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection, on the last day."

25. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me, though he die, shall live.

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

27. She said to him, "Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, coming into the world.

28. When she had said this, she went and secretly called her sister Mary, saying, "The Master is here and calling you."

29. As soon as she heard, she got up in haste and went to him.

30. Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was at the place where Martha had met him.

31. The Jews who were with her in the house and comforted her, seeing that Mary had got up in haste and went out, followed her, thinking that she had gone to the tomb to weep there.

32. And Mary, when she came to where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet and said to him, "Lord! if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

33. When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping, he himself was grieved in spirit and was indignant

34. And he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him: Lord! Go and see.

35. Jesus shed tears.

36. Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him."

37. And some of them said, "Could not this one, who opened the eyes of the blind man, cause this one also not to die?"

38. But Jesus, again grieving inwardly, comes to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay on it.

39. Jesus says, "Take away the stone." The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to Him: "Lord! already stinks; for four days he was in the tomb.

40. Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"
