*
Then when Jesus came ,
he found that he had lain in the grave four days already .
*
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem ,
about fifteen furlongs off :
*
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary ,
to comfort them concerning their brother .
*
Then Martha ,
as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming ,
went and met him :
but Mary sat still in the house .
*
Then said Martha unto Jesus ,
Lord ,
if thou hadst been here ,
my brother had not died .
*
But I know ,
that even now ,
whatsoever thou wilt ask of God ,
God will give it thee .
*
Jesus saith unto her ,
Thy brother shall rise again .
*
Martha saith unto him ,
I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day .
*
Jesus said unto her ,
I am the resurrection ,
and the life :
he that believeth in me ,
though he were dead ,
yet shall he live :
*
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die .
Believest thou this ?
*
She saith unto him ,
Yea ,
Lord :
I believe that thou art the Christ ,
the Son of God ,
which should come into the world .
*
And when she had so said ,
she went her way ,
and called Mary her sister secretly ,
saying ,
The Master is come ,
and calleth for thee .
*
As soon as she heard that ,
she arose quickly ,
and came unto him .
*
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town ,
but was in that place where Martha met him .
