21 Martha said to Jesus: »Lord if you had been here my brother would not have died.

22 »Even now I know that what ever you ask of God he will give it to you.«

23 Jesus replied: »Your brother will rise again.«

24 Martha exclaimed: »I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.«

25 Jesus said: »I am the resurrection and the life. He who puts active faith in me will live, even if he dies.

26 »Whoever lives and puts active faith in me will never die. Do you believe this?«

27 She said: »Yes Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who is to come into the world.«
