Yochanan 11:12-36

¹²The disciples therefore said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

¹³Now Yeshua had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

¹⁴So Yeshua said to them plainly then, “Lazarus is dead.

¹⁵I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

¹⁶Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s also go, that we may die with him.”

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

¹⁸Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

¹⁹Many of the Judeans had joined the women around Martha and Miriam, to console them concerning their brother.

²⁰Then when Martha heard that Yeshua was coming, she went and met him, but Miriam stayed in the house.

²¹Therefore Martha said to Yeshua, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

²²Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

²³Yeshua said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

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

²⁵Yeshua said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

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

²⁷She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

²⁸When she had said this, she went away and called Miriam, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Rabbi is here and is calling you.”

²⁹When she heard this, she arose quickly and went to him.

³⁰Now Yeshua had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.

³¹Then the Judeans who were with her in the house and were consoling her, when they saw Miriam, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

³²Therefore when Miriam came to where Yeshua was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.”

³³When Yeshua therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled,

³⁴and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.”

³⁵Yeshua wept.

³⁶The Judeans therefore said, “See how much affection he had for him!”
