John 11:12-29

¹²therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'

¹³but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

¹⁴Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;

¹⁵and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

¹⁶therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,'

²¹Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

²²but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

²³Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'

²⁴Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

²⁵Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

²⁶and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age;

²⁷believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

²⁸And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

²⁹she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
