* So when Jesus came , he found that he had already been in the tomb four days . * Bethany was near Jerusalem , about two miles off , * and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother . * When Martha heard that Jesus was coming , she went and met him , but Mary sat in the house . * Martha said to Jesus , »Lord , if you had been here , my brother would not have died . * But even now I know that whatever you ask of God , God will give you .« * Jesus said to her , »Your brother will rise again .« * Martha said to him , »I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day .« * Jesus said to her , »I am the resurrection and the life . He who believes in me , though he die , yet shall he live ; * and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die . Do you believe this ?« * She said to him , »Yes , Lord , I believe that you are the Christ , the Son of God , who is to come into the world .« * And when she had said this , she went her way and called Mary her sister , saying , »The Teacher is here and is calling for you .« * When she heard it , she rose quickly and went to him . * Now Jesus had not yet come to the village , but was still in the place where Martha had met him . * The Jews who were with her in the house , and comforting her , when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out , followed her , supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there . * Then Mary , when she came where Jesus was and saw him , fell at his feet , saying to him , »Lord , if you had been here , my brother would not have died .« * When Jesus saw her weeping , and the Jews who came with her also weeping , he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled . * And he said , »Where have you laid him ?« They said to him , »Lord , come and see .« * Jesus wept . * Then the Jews said , »See how he loved him !« * But some of them said , »Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying ?«
