³⁵ While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.^(A) “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

³⁹ “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”^(A)

²⁸ After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. “The Teacher^(A) is here,” she said, “and is asking for you.”

²² Then one of the synagogue leaders,^(A) named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.

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.”^(A)

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am^(A) the resurrection and the life.^(B) The one who believes^(C) in me will live, even though they die;

²¹ “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.^(A)

²⁵ Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come^(A) when the dead will hear^(B) the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

⁴⁹ While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader.^(A) “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher anymore.”

⁶ So Jesus went with them.

He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. ⁷ That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.^(A)
