John 11:18-27

18(Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,

19so many of the Jewish people of the region had come to Martha and Mary to console them over the loss of their brother.)

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

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

22But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will grant you.”

23Jesus replied, “Your brother will come back to life again.”

24Martha said, “I know that he will come back to life 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 will live even if he dies,

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

27She replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.”
