24. Martha answered, “I know that he will rise to live again at the time of the resurrection on the last day.”
25. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection. I am life. Everyone who believes in me will have life, even if they die.
26. And everyone who lives and believes in me will never really die. Martha, do you believe this?”
27. Martha answered, “Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God. You are the one who was coming to the world.”
28. After Martha said these things, she went back to her sister Mary. She talked to Mary alone and said, “The Teacher is here. He is asking for you.”
29. When Mary heard this, she stood up and went quickly to Jesus.
30. He had not yet come into the village. He was still at the place where Martha met him.
31. The Jews who were in the house comforting Mary saw her get up and leave quickly. They thought she was going to the tomb to cry there. So they followed her.
32. Mary went to the place where Jesus was. When she saw him, she bowed at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33. When Jesus saw Mary crying and the people with her crying too, he was very upset and deeply troubled.
34. He asked, “Where did you put him?” They said, “Lord, come and see.”
35. Jesus cried.
