12. His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13. But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14. Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
15. And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.
16. Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17. Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
18. (Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
19. And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20. Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21. Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22. But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23. Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24. Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25. Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26. And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?
27. She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
28. And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.
29. She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.
