Jesus, therefore, coming, found that, four days already, had he been in the tomb.

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;

and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.

Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting.

Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus - Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

And, now, I know, that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God, will give unto thee.

Jesus saith unto her - Thy brother shall rise.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise, in the resurrection, in the last day.

Jesus said unto her - I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again!

And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age-abiding. Believest thou this?

She saith unto him - Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God, - He who, into the world, should come.

And this saying, she went away, and called Mary her sister, secretly, saying - The teacher, is present, and calleth thee.

And, she, when she heard, was roused up quickly, and was coming unto him.

Not yet, however, had Jesus come into the village, but was still in the place where, Martha, met him.

The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there.

Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying unto him - Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself,

and said - Where have ye laid him? They say unto him - Lord! come and see.

Jesus wept.

The Jews, therefore, were saying - See! how tenderly he loved him!

But, some from among them, said - Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died?
