View In My BibleJesus Comforts the Sisters
17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.1 18 Bethany2 was less than two milesa from Jerusalem, 19 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.3 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.4 21 "Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died.5 22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."6 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24 Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection7 at the last day."8 25 Jesus said to her, "I am9 the resurrection and the life.10 He who believes11 in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes12 in me will never die.13 Do you believe this?" 27 "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ,b14 the Son of God,15 who was to come into the world."16Scripture quoted by permission.
