Martha saith unto Him

　　Then Martha as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming went andmet Him: but Mary sat still in the house.

　　Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if Thou hadst been here, mybrother had not died.

　　But I know that even now whatsoever Thou wilt ask of God, God willgive it Thee...."

　　Then she stopped again with a shamefaced feeling that her voicewould quiver and break again.

　　"Jesus said unto her, thy brother shall rise again.

　　Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in theresurrection, at the last day.

　　Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he thatbelieveth in Me though he were dead, yet shall he live.

　　And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.Believest thou this?

　　She saith unto Him,"

　　(And drawing a painful breath, Sonia read distinctly and forcibly asthough she were making a public confession of faith.)

　　"Yea, Lord: I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God Whichshould come into the world."

　　She stopped and looked up quickly at him, but controlling herselfwent on reading. Raskolnikov sat without moving, his elbows on thetable and his eyes turned away. She read to the thirty-second verse.

　　"Then when Mary was come where Jesus was and saw Him, she felldown at His feet, saying unto Him, Lord if Thou hadst been here, mybrother had not died.

　　When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weepingwhich came with her, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled,

　　And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto Him, Lord, come andsee.

　　Jesus wept.
