Original text and translations

Latin text Dixit Martha ad Jesum: 'Domine, si fuisses hic, frater meus non fuisset mortuus: sed et nunc scio quia quaecumque poposceris a Deo, dabit tibi Deus.' Dicit ei Martha: 'Scio quia resurget in resurrectione, in novissimo die.' Ait illi: 'Utique Domine, ego crediti, quia tu es Christus, Filius Dei vivi, qui in hunc mundum venisti.'

English translation Martha said unto Jesus: 'Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.' Martha saith unto him: 'I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.' She saith unto him, 'Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.'
