John 11:13-23

13 (Now Jesus had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was speaking about {real sleep}.)

14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, "Lazarus has died,

15 and I am glad {for your sake} that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."

16 Then Thomas (the one who is called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, so that we may die with him."

17 So [when he] arrived, Jesus found he had already [been] four days in the tomb.

18 (Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia.

19 So many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary in order to console them concerning their brother.)

20 Now Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

21 So Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 Even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant you."

23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
