13. But יהושע had spoken about his death, whereas they thought that He spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14. So then יהושע said to them plainly, “El‛azar has died.
15. “And for your sake I am glad I was not there, in order for you to believe. But let us go to him.”
16. T’oma, who is called the Twin, then said to his fellow taught ones, “Let us also go, so that we die with Him.”
17. Therefore, when יהושע arrived, He found that he had already been four days in the tomb.
18. Now Bĕyth Anyah was near Yerushalayim, about three kilometres away.
19. And many of the Yehuḏim had come to Martha and Miryam, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20. Martha, then, when she heard that יהושע was coming, met Him, but Miryam was sitting in the house.
21. Martha, then, said to יהושע, “Master, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22. “But even now I know that whatever You might ask of Elohim, Elohim shall give You.”
23. יהושע said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”
24. Martha said to Him, “I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25. יהושע said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he dies, he shall live.
26. “And everyone that is living and believing in Me shall never die at all. Do you believe this?”
27. She said to Him, “Yea, Master, I believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of Elohim, who is coming into the world.”
28. And having said this she went away and called her sister Miryam secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and calls you.”
29. When she heard, she rose up quickly and came to Him.
