Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem (11,19-27)
In illo tempore: Multi autem ex Iudǽis vénerant ad Martham et Maríam, ut consolaréntur eas de fratre. Martha ergo ut audívit quia Iésus venit, occúrrit illi; María autem domi sedébat. Dixit ergo Martha ad Iésum: “Dómine, si fuísses hic, frater meus non esset mórtuus! Sed et nunc scio quia, quæcúmque popósceris a Deo, dabit tibi Deus.” Dicit illi Iésus: “Resúrget frater tuus.” Dicit ei Martha: “Scio quia resúrget in resurrectióne in novíssimo die.” Dixit ei Iésus: “Ego sum resurréctio et vita. Qui credit in me, etsi mórtuus fúerit, vivet; et omnis, qui vivit et credit in me, non moriétur in ætérnum. Credis hoc?” Ait illi: “Utíque, Dómine; ego crédidi quia tu es Christus Fílius Dei, qui in mundum venísti.”
At that time: many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Martha therefore when she heard that Jesus was come, went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But now also I know that what things soever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection, in the last day. Jesus saith to her: I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live. And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? She saith to him: Yea Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of God that art come into this world.
