*
Then when Jesus came ,
he found that he had lain in the grave four days already .
*
Now Bethany was close 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 you had been here ,
my brother had not died .
*
But I know ,
that even now ,
whatsoever you will ask of God ,
God will give it you .
*
Jesus says unto her ,
*
Martha says unto him ,
I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day .
*
Jesus said unto her ,

She says unto him ,
Yes ,
Lord :
I believe that you are 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 calls for you .
*
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 .
*
The Jews then which were with her in the house ,
and comforted her ,
when they saw Mary ,
that she rose up hastily and went out ,
followed her ,
saying ,
She goes unto the grave to weep there .
*
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was ,
and saw him ,
she fell down at his feet ,
saying unto him ,
Lord ,
if you had been here ,
my brother had not died .
*
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping ,
and the Jews also weeping which came with her ,
he groaned in the spirit ,
and was troubled .
*
And said ,
They said unto him ,
Lord ,
come and see .
*
Jesus wept .
*
Then said the Jews ,
Behold how he loved him !
*
And some of them said ,
Could not this man ,
which opened the eyes of the blind ,
have caused that even this man should not have died ?
