20. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him, while Mary remained sitting in the house.
21. Martha then said to Jesus, Master, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22. And even now I know that whatever You ask from God, He will grant it to You.
23. Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again.
24. Martha replied, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25. Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live;
26. And whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never [actually] die at all. Do you believe this?
27. She said to Him, Yes, Lord, I have believed [I do believe] that You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), the Son of God, [even He] Who was to come into the world. [It is for Your coming that the world has waited.]
28. After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, privately whispering to her, The Teacher is close at hand and is asking for you.
29. When she heard this, she sprang up quickly and went to Him.
30. Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the same spot where Martha had met Him.
31. When the Jews who were sitting with her in the house and consoling her saw how hastily Mary had arisen and gone out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to pour out her grief there.
