The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.

11:18Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

11:19And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

11:20Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

11:21Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

11:22But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.

11:26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

11:27She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

11:28And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

11:29As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.

11:30Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
