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?"
27. "Yes, Lord," she told him. "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God. I believe that you are the One who was supposed to come into the world."
28. After she said this, she went back home. She called her sister Mary to one side to talk to her. "The Teacher is here," Martha said. "He is asking for you."
29. When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.
30. Jesus had not yet entered the village. He was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31. Some Jews had been comforting Mary in the house. They noticed how quickly she got up and went out. So they followed her. They thought she was going to the tomb to cry there.
32. Mary reached the place where Jesus was. When she saw him, she fell at his feet. She said, "Lord, I wish you had been here! Then my brother would not have died."
33. Jesus saw her crying. He saw that the Jews who had come along with her were crying also. His spirit became very sad, and he was troubled.
34. "Where have you put him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied.
