Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb 1four days.
18
Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,
19
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary 2to console them concerning their brother.
20
3So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.
21
Martha said to 4Jesus, "Lord, 5if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22
But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, 6God will give you."
23
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24
7Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in 8the resurrection on the last day."
25
Jesus said to her, 9"I am the resurrection and 10the life. Whoever believes in me, 11though he die, 12yet shall he live,
26
and everyone who lives and believes in me 13shall never die. Do you believe this?"
27
She said to him, "Yes, Lord; 14I believe that 15you are the Christ, the Son of God, 16who is coming into the world."
