21 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. »Master, if you had been here,« she said, »my brother would not have died.

22 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for, God will give you.«

23 »Your brother shall rise again,« replied Jesus.

24 »I know,« said Martha, »that he will rise again at the resurrection, on the last day.«

25 »I am the Resurrection and the Life,« said Jesus; »he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live;

26 and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never, never die. Do you believe this?«

27 »Yes, Master,« she replied; »I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.«
