New Living Translation (NLT)

John 11
²³ Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
²⁴ “Yes,” Martha said, “he will rise when everyone else rises, at the last day.”
²⁵ Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.
²⁶ Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
²⁷ “Yes, Lord,” she told him. “I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God.”
²⁸ Then she returned to Mary. She called Mary aside from the mourners and told her, “The Teacher is here and wants to see you.”
²⁹ So Mary immediately went to him.
³⁰ Jesus had stayed outside the village, at the place where Martha met him.
³¹ When the people who were at the house consoling Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus’s grave to weep. So they followed her there.
³² When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
³³ When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled.
