Marami sa mga Judio ang pumunta kina Marta at Maria upang makiramay sa kanila dahil sa pagyao ng kanilang kapatid. Kaya pagkarinig ni Marta na dumarating si Jesus, sinalubong niya ito. Si Maria naman ay nakaupo sa bahay. At sinabi ni Marta kay Jesus: “Panginoon, kung naririto ka, hindi sana namatay ang kapatid ko. Subalit kahit na ngayon, alam kong anuman ang hilingin mo sa Diyos, ibibigay ito sa iyo ng Diyos.” Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus: “Babangon ang kapatid mo.” Sumagot sa kanya si Marta: “Alam ko na babangon siya sa muling pagkabuhay sa huling araw.” Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus: “Ako ang muling pagkabuhay (at ang buhay). Mabubuhay ang naniniwala sa akin kahit na siya ay mamatay. Hinding-hindi mamamatay ang bawat nabubuhay sa paniniwala sa akin. Pinaniniwalaan mob a ito?” Sinabi niya sa kanya: “Opo, Panginoon. Naniniwala nga ako na ikaw ang Kristo, ang Anak ng Diyos na dumarating sa mundo.”
