Sorrow » Of mary and martha
And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them over their brother. Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him. But Mary sat still in the house. Then said Martha unto Jesus, "Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not been dead: read more.
but nevertheless, I know that whatsoever thou askest of God, God will give it thee." Jesus said unto her, "Thy brother shall rise again." Martha said unto him, I know well, that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth on me; Yea though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth, and believeth on me, shall never die. Believest thou this?" She said unto him, "Yea Lord: I believe that thou art Christ, the son of God, which should come into the world." And as soon as she had so said she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, "The master is come and calleth for thee." And she, as soon as she heard that, arose quickly, and came unto him. Jesus was not yet come into the town: but was in the place where Martha met him. The Jews then, which were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up hastily, and went out: followed her, saying, "She goeth unto the grave, to weep there." Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, "Lord if thou hadst been here, my brother had not been dead." When Jesus saw her weep, and the Jews also weep, which came with her; He groaned in the spirit, and was troubled in himself, and said, "Where have ye laid him?" They said unto him, "Lord, come and see." And Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, "Behold how he loved him." And some of them said, "Could not he which opened the eyes of the blind, have made also, that this man should not have died?" Jesus again groaned in himself and came to the grave: it was a cave, and a stone laid on it. And Jesus said, "Take ye away the stone." Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said unto him, "Lord by this time he stinketh. For he hath been dead four days." Jesus said unto her, "Said I not unto thee, that if thou didst believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
but nevertheless, I know that whatsoever thou askest of God, God will give it thee." Jesus said unto her, "Thy brother shall rise again." Martha said unto him, I know well, that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth on me; Yea though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth, and believeth on me, shall never die. Believest thou this?" She said unto him, "Yea Lord: I believe that thou art Christ, the son of God, which should come into the world."
