John 11:17-37

17So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb afour days. 18Now aBethany was near Jerusalem, about 1fifteen stadia away; 19and many of athe Jews had come to bMartha and Mary, cto console them about their brother. 20aMartha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but bMary was sitting in the house. 21Martha then said to Jesus, “aLord, bif You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22But even now I know that awhatever You ask from God, God will give You.” 23Jesus *said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24Martha *said to Him, “aI know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25Jesus said to her, aI am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26and everyone who lives and believes in Me awill never die—ever. Do you believe this?” 27She *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are athe 1Christ, the Son of God, 2,bthe One who comes into the world.”
28And when she had said this, she awent away and called Mary her sister, saying secretly, “bThe Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29And when she heard it, she *got up quickly and was coming to Him.
30Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but awas still in the place where Martha met Him. 31aThen the Jews—who were with her in the house and bconsoling her—when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to cry there. 32Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “aLord, bif You had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33When Jesus therefore saw her crying, and athe Jews who came with her also crying, He bwas 1deeply moved in spirit and 2,cwas troubled, 34and said, Where have you laid him?” They *said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35Jesus awept. 36So athe Jews were saying, “See how He bloved him!” 37But some of them said, “Could not this man, who aopened the eyes of the blind man, 1have kept this man also from dying?”
