John 11:17-27

17 Then when Jesus came , he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary *, to comfort them concerning their brother.

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming , went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother * had not died .

22 But I know , that even now, whatsoever * thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again .

24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live :

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never * * die . Believest thou this?

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
