12. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall do well.
13. However Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14. Then said Jesus unto them plainly,
15. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16. Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17. Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18. Now Bethany was near unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19. And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21. Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22. But I know, that even now, whatsoever you will ask of God, God will give it to you.
23. Jesus said unto her,
24. Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25. Jesus said unto her,
26. And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?
27. She said unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.
