21. Martha said to Jesus, “If you had been here, Lord, my brother would not have died!
22. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask him for.”
23. “Your brother will rise to life,” Jesus told her.
24. “I know,” she replied, “that he will rise to life on the last day.”
25. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will live, even though they die;
26. and all those who live and believe in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
27. “Yes, Lord!” she answered. “I do believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
28. After Martha said this, she went back and called her sister Mary privately. “The Teacher is here,” she told her, “and is asking for you.”
