19And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home. 21Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again. 24Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. 25Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: 26And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? 27She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
