20 Now Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 So Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But even now I know that whatever you ask God, God will grant you.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live,

31 So the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her,
32 Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was
33 Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled within himself.
34 And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus wept.
36 So the Jews were saying, “See how he loved him!”

39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one who had died, said to him, “Lord, he is stinking already, because it has been four days.”
40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his

51 (Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 and not for the nation only, but also that the children of God who are scattered would be gathered into one.)
53 So from that day they resolved that they should kill him.
54 So Jesus was no longer walking openly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
