²¹ “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.^{(A) 22} But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”^(B)

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

²⁴ Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection^(C) at the last day.”^(D)

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am^(E) the resurrection and the life.^(F) The one who believes^(G) in me will live, even though they die; ²⁶ and whoever lives by believing^(H) in me will never die.^(I) Do you believe this?”

²⁷ “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah,^(J) the Son of God,^(K) who is to come into the world.”^(L)

²⁸ After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher^(M) is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.” ²⁹ When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.^{(N) 31} When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her,^(O) noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

³² When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”^(P)

³³ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved^(Q) in spirit and troubled.^{(R) 34} “Where have you laid him?” he asked.

“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.

³⁵ Jesus wept.^(S)
