John 11:12-31

¹²The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover.

¹³Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep.

¹⁴Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

¹⁵And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

¹⁶Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

¹⁷So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

¹⁸Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;

¹⁹and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

²⁰Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

²¹Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

²²And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

²³Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

²⁴Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

²⁵Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;

²⁶and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

²⁷She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world.

²⁸And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee.

²⁹And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him.

³⁰(Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)

³¹The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there.
