Thematic Bible



And many of the Jews came to those with Martha and Mary, to console them for their brother. Then when Martha heard that Jesus had come, she went out to meet him; but Mary sat in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died; read more.
but now also I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you. Jesus said to her, Your brother shall rise again. Martha said to him, I know that he will rise at the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, even if he has died, shall live, and no one who lives and believes in me shall ever die; do you believe this? She said to him, Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world. And having said this she went away and called Mary her sister, privately, saying, The teacher has come and calls for you. When she heard, she arose quickly and came to him; but Jesus had not yet entered into the village, but was at the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she arose and went out quickly, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb to weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died. Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he was greatly agitated in spirit and affected, and said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, Behold, how he loved him. And some of them said, Could not this man who opens the eyes of the blind, cause that even he should not have died? Then Jesus again being agitated within himself came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he smells; for he has been dead four days. Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you that if you will believe you shall see the glory of God?
