26. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
27. She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
28. When she had said this, she went her way and secretly called her sister Mary, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.”
29. When she heard this, she rose quickly and went to Him.
30. Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him.
31. When the Jews who were with Mary in the house, comforting her, saw that she quickly rose up and went out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32. When Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33. When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34. He said, “Where have you laid him?”They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35. Jesus wept.
36. Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him.”
37. But some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have also kept this man from dying?”
38. Then Jesus, again groaning within Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”
