The Life of Jesus

Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

Yeshua said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

Marta said, “I know that he will rise again at the Resurrection on the Last Day.”

Yeshua said to her, “I AM the Resurrection and the Life! Whoever puts his trust in me will live, even if he dies;

and everyone living and trusting in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.”

After saying this, she went off and secretly called Miryam, her sister: “The Rabbi is here and is calling for you.”

When she heard this, she jumped up and went to him.

Yeshua had not yet come into the village but was still where Marta had met him;

so when the Judeans who had been with Miryam in the house comforting her saw her get up quickly and go out, they followed her, thinking she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

When Miryam came to where Yeshua was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

When Yeshua saw her crying, and also the Judeans who came with her crying, he was deeply moved and also troubled.

He said, “Where have you buried him?” They said, “Lord, come and see.”

Yeshua cried;

so the Judeans there said, “See how he loved him!”

But some of them said, “He opened the blind man’s eyes. Couldn’t he have kept this one from dying?”

Yeshua, again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying in front of the entrance.

Yeshua said, “Take the stone away!” Marta, the sister of the dead man, said to Yeshua, “By now his body must smell, for it has been four days since he died!”

Yeshua said to her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you keep trusting, you will see the glory of God?”

So they removed the stone. Yeshua looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

I myself know that you always hear me, but I say this because of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that you have sent me.”

Having said this, he shouted, “El‘azar! Come out!”

The man who had been dead came out, his hands and feet wrapped in strips of linen and his face covered with a cloth. Yeshua said to them, “Unwrap him, and let him go!”

At this, many of the Judeans who had come to visit Miryam, and had seen what Yeshua had done, trusted in him.

But some of them went off to the P’rushim and told them what he had done.
