John 11:17-27

17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb ¹four days.

18 Now ²Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off;

19 and many of ³the Jews had come to ⁴Martha and Mary, ⁵to console them concerning their brother.

20 ⁶Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but ⁷Mary stayed at the house.

21 Martha then said to Jesus, "⁸Lord, ⁹if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 "Even now I know that ¹⁰whatever * You ask of God, God will give You."

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

24 Martha said to Him, "¹¹I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."

25 Jesus said to her, "¹²I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

26 and everyone who lives and believes in Me ¹³will never * die. Do you believe this?"

27 She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are ¹⁴the Christ, the Son of God, even ¹⁵He who comes into the world."
