The Resurrection and the Life
17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb(A) four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem(B) (less than two miles[a] away). 19 Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.
20 As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. 22 Yet even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
23 “Your brother will rise(C) again,” Jesus told her.
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”(D)
25 Jesus said to her, “I am(E) the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me,(F) even if he dies, will live.(G) 26 Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.(H) Do you believe this?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe you are the Messiah,(I) the Son(J) of God, who comes into the world.”(K)
Jesus Shares the Sorrow of Death
28 Having said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
29 As soon as Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.(L) 30 Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews who were with her in the house consoling her saw that Mary got up quickly and went out. They followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb(M) to cry there.
32 As soon as Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet(N) and told him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died!”
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, he was deeply moved[b] in his spirit(O) and troubled. 34 “Where have you put him?” he asked.
“Lord,” they told him, “come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.(P)
36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved(Q) him!” 37 But some of them said, “Couldn’t he who opened the blind man’s eyes(R) also have kept this man from dying?”

17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb (A)four days. 18 Now (B)Bethany was near Jerusalem, about [a]fifteen stadia away; 19 and many of (C)the Jews had come to (D)Martha and Mary, (E)to console them about their brother. 20 So then (F)Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but (G)Mary [b]stayed in the house. 21 Martha then said to Jesus, “(H)Lord, (I)if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 Even now I know that (J)whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” 23 Jesus *said to her, “Your brother will rise from the dead.” 24 Martha *said to Him, “(K)I know that he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “(L)I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me (M)will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have come to believe that You are (N)the [c]Christ, the Son of God, and [d](O)He who comes into the world.”
28 When she had said this, she (P)left and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “(Q)The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard this, she *got up quickly and came to Him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but (R)was still at the place where Martha met Him. 31 (S)Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were (T)consoling her, when they saw that Mary had gotten up quickly and left, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 So when Mary came to the place where Jesus was, she saw Him and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “(U)Lord, (V)if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Therefore when Jesus saw her weeping, and (W)the Jews who came with her also weeping, He (X)was deeply moved in spirit and [e](Y)was troubled, 34 and He said, “Where have you laid him?” They *said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus (Z)wept. 36 So (AA)the Jews were saying, “See how He (AB)loved him!” 37 But some of them said, “Could this man, who (AC)opened the eyes of the man who was blind, not have also [f]kept this man from dying?”

Jesus Comforts the Sisters of Lazarus
17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.(A) 18 Now Bethany(B) was less than two miles[a] from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.(C) 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.(D)
21 “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.(E) 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”(F)
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection(G) at the last day.”(H)
25 Jesus said to her, “I am(I) the resurrection and the life.(J) The one who believes(K) in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing(L) in me will never die.(M) Do you believe this?”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah,(N) the Son of God,(O) who is to come into the world.”(P)
28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher(Q) 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.(R) 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her,(S) 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.”(T)
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved(U) in spirit and troubled.(V) 34 “Where have you laid him?” he asked.
“Come and see, Lord,” they replied.
35 Jesus wept.(W)
36 Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”(X)
37 But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man(Y) have kept this man from dying?”(Z)
