John 11:23-35

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.”

28And when she had said this, Martha went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”

29So when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

30(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)

31Then the people who were with Mary in the house consoling her saw her get up quickly and go out. They followed her, because they thought she was going to the tomb to weep there.

32Now when Mary came to the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people who had come with her weeping, he was intensely moved in spirit and greatly distressed.

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

35Jesus wept.
