The Book of John, Chapter 11, Verse 15

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, ‹Let us go into Judaea again.›

[His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

Jesus answered, ‹Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.›

‹But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.›

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Then 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 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:›
