Gospel John 11:19-27
19And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother.
20Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home.
21And then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22But even now, I know that whatever you will request from God, God will give to you.”
23Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”
24Martha said to him, “I know that he shall rise again, at the resurrection on the last day.”
25Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.
26And everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die for eternity. Do you believe this?”
27She said to him: “Certainly, Lord. I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, who has come into this world.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
