I Am the resurrection and the life.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.
Martha said to Jesus,
“Lord, if you had been here,
my brother would not have died.
But even now I know that whatever you ask of God,
God will give you.”
Jesus said to her,
“Your brother will rise.”
Martha said to him,
“I know he will rise,
in the resurrection on the last day.”
Jesus told her,
“I am the resurrection and the life;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies,
will live,
and everyone who lives and believes in me
will never die.
Do you believe this?”
She said to him,
“Yes, Lord. I have come to believe
that you are the Messiah,
the Son of God,
the one who is coming into the world.”
