26. And he who lives and believes in me will never die. Martha, do you believe this?”
27. Martha answered, “Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God. You are the One who was coming to the world.”
28. After Martha said this, she went back to her sister Mary. She talked to Mary alone. Martha said, “The Teacher is here and he is asking for you.”
29. When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus.
30. Jesus had not yet come into the town. He was still at the place where Martha had met him.
31. The Jews were with Mary in the house, comforting her. They saw Mary stand and leave quickly. They followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to cry there.
