I Am the Resurrection and the Life

17

So when Yeshua came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.

18

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.

19

Many of the Judeans had joined the women around Martha and Miriam, to console them concerning their brother.

20

Then when Martha heard that Yeshua was coming, she went and met him, but Miriam stayed in the house.

21

Therefore Martha said to Yeshua, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.

22

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

23

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

24

Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

25

Yeshua said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

26

Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27

She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”
