nsb@John:11:19 @ Many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to console them about their brother.

nsb@John:11:20 @ Martha went out to meet Jesus and Mary sat in the house.

nsb@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus: »Lord if you had been here my brother would not have died.

nsb@John:11:22 @ »Even now I know that what ever you ask of God he will give it to you.«

nsb@John:11:23 @ Jesus replied: »Your brother will rise again.«

nsb@John:11:24 @ Martha exclaimed: »I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.«

nsb@John:11:25 @ Jesus said: »I am the resurrection and the life. He who puts active faith in me will live, even if he dies.

nsb@John:11:26 @ »Whoever lives and puts active faith in me will never die. Do you believe this?«

nsb@John:11:27 @ She said: »Yes Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who is to come into the world.«

nsb@John:11:28 @ After she said this she went away and secretly called her sister Mary. She said: »The teacher is here and calls you.«

nsb@John:11:31 @ The Jews were with her in the house, consoling her. They saw Mary get up quickly and leave. So they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

nsb@John:11:32 @ When Mary saw Jesus she fell down at his feet. She said: »Lord; if you had been here my brother would not have died.«

nsb@John:11:33 @ Jesus groaned in his spirit and was troubled when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping.

nsb@John:11:34 @ He asked: »Where have you laid him?« They answered: »Come and see Lord.«

nsb@John:11:35 @ Jesus wept.

nsb@John:11:36 @ The Jews therefore said: »Look how deeply he loved him!«

nsb@John:11:37 @ Some of them said: »This man opened the eyes of the blind. Could he have prevented this man from dying?«
