Jesus had not yet come into the village but was still in the place where Martha met him. When Martha had said this she went away to call Mary, her sister, telling her secretly, 'The Master is here and is calling you.' When Mary heard this she rose quickly and went to him. Do you believe this?' She said to him, 'Yes, Master, I do believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who was to come into the world.' He who believes in me shall live even though he die and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Martha said to Jesus, 'Master, if you had been here my brother would not have died, but I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask him.'
