Martha　saith　unto　Him；　I　know　that　he　shall　rise　again　in　the
  resurrection；　at　the　last　day。
  Jesus　said　unto　her；　I　am　the　resurrection　and　the　life：　he　that
  believeth　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　as
  though　she　were　making　a　public　confession　of　faith。）
  〃Yea；　Lord：　I　believe　that　Thou　art　the　Christ；　the　Son　of　God　Which
  should　come　into　the　world。〃
  She　stopped　and　looked　up　quickly　at　him；　but　controlling　herself
  went　on　reading。　Raskolnikov　sat　without　moving；　his　elbows　on　the
  table　and　his　eyes　turned　away。　She　read　to　the　thirty…second　verse。
  〃Then　when　Mary　was　come　where　Jesus　was　and　saw　Him；　she　fell
  down　at　His　feet；　saying　unto　Him；　Lord　if　Thou　hadst　been　here；　my
  brother　had　not　died。
  When　Jesus　therefore　saw　her　weeping；　and　the　Jews　also　weeping
  which　came　with　her；　He　groaned　in　the　spirit　and　was　troubled；
  And　said；　Where　have　ye　laid　him？　They　said　unto　Him；　Lord；　come　and
  see。
  Jesus　wept。
  Then　said　the　Jews；　behold　how　He　loved　him！
  And　some　of　them　said；　could　not　this　Man　which　opened　the　eyes　of
  the　blind；　have　caused　that　even　this　man　should　not　have　died？〃
  Raskolnikov　turned　and　looked　at　her　with　emotion。　Yes；　he　had　known
  it！　She　was　trembling　in　a　real　physical　fever。　He　had　expected　it。
  She　was　getting　near　the　story　of　the　greatest　miracle　and　a　feeling
  of　immense　triumph　came　over　her。　Her　voice　rang　out　like　a　bell；
  triumph　and　joy　gave　it　power。　The　lines　danced　before　her　eyes；　but
  she　knew　what　she　was　reading　by　heart。　At　the　last　verse　〃Could　not
  this　Man　which　opened　the　eyes　of　the　blind。。。〃　dropping　her　voice　she
  passionately　reproduced　the　doubt；　the　reproach　and　censure　of　the
  blind　disbelieving　Jews；　who　in　another　moment　would　fall　at　His
  feet　as　though　struck　by　thunder；　sobbing　and　believing。。。。　〃And　he；
  he…　too；　is　blinded　and　unbelieving；　he；　too；　will　hear；　he；　too；　will
  believe；　yes；　yes！　At　once；　now；〃　was　what　she　was　dreaming；　and　she
  was　quivering　with　happy　anticipation。
  〃Jesus　therefore　again　groaning　in　Himself　cometh　to　the　grave。　It
  was　a　cave；　and　a　stone　lay　upon　it。
  Jesus　said；　Take　ye　away　the　stone。　Martha；　the　sister　of　him　that
  was　dead；　saith　unto　Him；　Lord　by　this　time　he　stinketh：　for　he　hath
  been　dead　four　days。〃
  She　laid　emphasis　on　the　word　four。
  〃Jesus　saith　unto　her；　Said　I　not　unto　thee　that　if　thou　wouldest
  believe；　thou　shouldest　see　the　glory　of　God？
  Then　they　took　away　the　stone　from　the　place　where　the　dead　was
  laid。　And　Jesus　lifted　up　His　eyes　and　said；　Father；　I　thank　Thee　that
  Thou　hast　heard　Me。
  And　I　knew　that　Thou　hearest　Me　always；　but　because　of　the　people
  which　stand　by　I　said　it；　that　they　may　believe　that　Thou　hast　sent
  Me。
  And　when　He　thus　had　spoken；　He　cried　with　a　loud　voice；　Lazarus；
  come　forth。
  And　he　that　was　dead　came　forth。〃
  （She　read　loudly；　cold　and　trembling　with　ecstasy；　as　though　she
  were　seeing　it　before　her　eyes。）
  〃Bound　hand　and　foot　with　graveclothes；　and　his　face　was　bound　about
  with　a　napkin。　Jesus　saith　unto　them；　Loose　him　and　let　him　go。
  Then　many　of　the　Jews　which　came　to　Mary　and　had　seen　the　things
  which　Jesus　did　believed　on　Him。〃
  She　could　read　no　more；　closed　the　book　and　got　up　from　her　chair
  quickly。
  〃That　is　all　about　the　raising　of　Lazarus；〃　she　whispered　severely
  and　abruptly；　and　turning　away　she　stood　motionless；　not　daring　to
  raise　her　eyes　to　him。　She　still　trembled　feverishly。　The　candle…end
  was　flickering　out　in　the　battered　candlestick；　dimly　lighting　up　in
  the　poverty…stricken　room　the　murderer　and　the　harlot　who　had　so
  strangely　been　reading　together　the　eternal　book。　Five　minutes　or　more
  passed。
  〃I　came　to　speak　of　something；〃　Raskolnikov　said　aloud；　frowning。　He
  got　up　and　went　to　Sonia。　She　lifted　her　eyes　to　him　in　silence。　His
  face　was　particularly　stern　and　there　was　a　sort　of　savage
  determination　in　it。
  〃I　have　abandoned　my　family　to…day；〃　he　said；　〃my　mother　and　sister。
  I　am　not　going　to　see　them。　I've　broken　with　them　completely。〃
  〃What　for？〃　asked　Sonia　amazed。　Her　recent　meeting　with　his　mother
  and　sister　had　left　a　great　impression　which　she　could　not　analyse。
  She　heard　his　news　almost　with　horror。
  〃I　have　only　you　now；〃　he　added。　〃Let　us　go　together。。。。　I've　come
  to　you；　we　are　both　accursed；　let　us　go　our　way　together！〃
  His　eyes　glittered　〃as　though　he　were　mad；〃　Sonia　thought；　in　her
  turn。
  〃Go　where？〃　she　asked　in　alarm　and　she　involuntarily　stepped　back。
  〃How　do　I　know？　I　only　know　it's　the　same　road；　I　know　that　and
  nothing　more。　It's　the　same　goal！〃
  She　looked　at　him　and　understood　nothing。　She　knew　only　that　he
  was　terribly；　infinitely　unhappy。
  〃No　one　of　them　will　understand；　if　you　tell　them；　but　I　have
  understood。　I　need　you；　that　is　why　I　have　come　to　you。〃
  〃I　don't　understand；〃　whispered　Sonia。
  〃You'll　understand　later。　Haven't　you　done　the　same？　You；　too；
  have　transgressed。。。　have　had　the　strength　to　transgress。　You　have
  laid　hands　on　yourself；　you　have　destroyed　a　life。。。　your　own　（it's
  all　the　same！）。　You　might　have　lived　in　spirit　and　understanding；
  but　you'll　end　in　the　Hay　Market。。。。　But　you　won't　be　able　to　stand
  it；　and　if　you　remain　alone　you'll　go　out　of　your　mind　like　me。　You
  are　like　a　mad　creature　already。　So　we　must　go　together　on　the　same
  road！　Let　us　go！〃
  〃What　for？　What's　all　this　for？〃　said　Sonia；　strangely　and　violently
  agitated　by　his　words。
  〃What　for？　Because　you　can't　remain　like　this；　that's　why！　You
  must　look　things　straight　in　the　face　at　last；　and　not　weep　like　a
  child　and　cry　that　God　won't　allow　it。　What　will　happen；　if　you　should
  really　be　taken　to　the　hospital　to…morrow？　She　is　mad　and　in
  consumption；　she'll　soon　die；　and　the　children？　Do　you　mean　to　tell　me
  Polenka　won't　come　to　grief？　Haven't　you　seen　children　here　at　the
  street　corners　sent　out　by　their　mothers　to　beg？　I've　found　out
  where　those　mothers　live　and　in　what　surroundings。　Children　can't
  remain　children　there！　At　seven　the　child　is　vicious　and　a　thief。
  Yet　children；　you　know；　are　the　image　of　Christ：　'theirs　is　the
  kingdom　of　Heaven。'　He　bade　us　honour　and　love　them；　they　are　the
  humanity　of　the　future。。。。〃
  〃What's　to　be　done；　what's　to　be　done？〃　repeated　Sonia；　weeping
  hysterically　and　wringing　her　hands。
  〃What's　to　be　done？　Break　what　must　be　broken；　once　for　all；
  that's　all；　and　take　the　suffering　on　oneself。　What；　you　don't
  understand？　You'll　understand　later。。。。　Freedom　and　power；　and　above
  all；　power！　Over　all　trembling　creation　and　all　the　antheap！。。。　That's
  the　goal；　remember　that！　That's　my
