John 11:17-32

¹⁷So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. ¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away; ¹⁹and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them about their brother. ²⁰So then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed in the house. ²¹Martha then said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. ²²Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.” ²³Jesus *said to her, “Your brother will rise from the dead.” ²⁴Martha *said to Him, “I know that he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” ²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, ²⁶and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” ²⁷She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have come to believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, and He who comes into the world.”

²⁸When she had said this, she left and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” ²⁹And when she heard this, she *got up quickly and came to Him.

³⁰Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha met Him. ³¹Then the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw that Mary had gotten up quickly and left, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there. ³²So when Mary came to the place where Jesus was, she saw Him and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
