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