John 11:18-27

18Bethany was near Jerusalem (less than two miles away).

19Many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.

20As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house.

21Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

22Yet even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”

23“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.

24Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live.

26Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27“Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”
