unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
| brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever
| thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto
| her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I
| know 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 in me, though he were dead, yet shall he
| live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never
| die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I
| believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should
| come into the world.
