John 11:23-35

23Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise [from the dead].”

24Martha replied, “I know that he will rise [from the dead] in the resurrection on the last day.”

25Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, relies on) Me [as Savior] will live even if he dies;

26and everyone who lives and believes in Me [as Savior] will never die. Do you believe this?”

27She said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed and continue to believe that You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), the Son of God, He who was [destined and promised] to come into the world [and it is for You that the world has waited].”

28After she had said this, she left and called her sister Mary, privately whispering [to her], “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”

29And when she heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.

30Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.

31So when the Jews who were with her in the house comforting her, saw how quickly Mary got up and left, they followed her, assuming that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

32When Mary came [to the place] where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33When Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews who had come with her also sobbing, He was deeply moved in spirit [to the point of anger at the sorrow caused by death] and was troubled,

34and said, “Where have you laid him?” They said, “Lord, come and see.”

35Jesus wept.
