John 11:19-26 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. Many Jews had come to Martha and Mary. They had come to comfort them because their brother was dead.

20. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him. But Mary stayed at home.

21. "Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "I wish you had been here! Then my brother would not have died.

22. But I know that even now God will give you anything you ask for."

23. Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

24. Martha answered, "I know he will rise again. This will happen when people are raised from the dead on the last day."

25. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even if he dies.

26. And those who live and believe in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
