19. so many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)
20. So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22. But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will grant you.”
23. Jesus replied, “Your brother will come back to life again.”
24. Martha said, “I know that he will come back to life again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies,
26. and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27. She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”
28. And when she had said this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
29. So when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30. (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)
31. Then the people who were with Mary in the house consoling her saw her get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32. Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
