John 11:17-37

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Says, I Am The Resurrection And The Life. The One Believing In Me Will Live

¹⁷ So having come, Jesus found him already having four days in the tomb. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stades^[a] away. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary in order that they might console them concerning their brother. ²⁰ So Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met Him. But Mary was sitting in the house. ²¹ Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. ²² But even now I know that whatever You ask God, God will give You”. ²³ Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise-up”. ²⁴ Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise-up in the resurrection at the last day”. ²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one believing in Me— even though he dies, he will live. ²⁶ And everyone living and believing in Me will never die, ever. Do you believe this?” ²⁷ She says to Him, “Yes, Lord. I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world”. ²⁸ And having said this, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, having said, “The Teacher is here and is calling you”. ²⁹ And that one, when she heard, arose quickly and was going to Him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him. ³¹ So the Jews— the ones being with her in the house and consoling her—having seen that Mary stood up quickly and went out, followed her, having supposed that she was going to the tomb in order that she might weep there. ³² Then Mary— when she came where Jesus was, having seen Him— fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died”. ³³ Then Jesus— when He saw her weeping, and the Jews having come with her weeping— was deeply-moved^[b] in His spirit, and troubled^[c] Himself. ³⁴ And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see”. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ So the Jews were saying, “Look— how He was loving him!” ³⁷ And^[d] some of them said, “Was not this One— the One having opened the eyes of the blind one— able to cause that this one also should not die?”
