24.Q. What learn you hence?

25, 26.Q. What is the meaning of these two verses?
A. They may be understood two ways: that though a person be dead in sin, yet he shall live a spiritual life, if he believes in Christ; and 2dly, that a true believer, though worms destroy his body, shall yet in his flesh see God.
Q. What may we learn from Christ’s asking Martha the question at the latter end of the 26th verse?
A. That it is good when we are reading the scripture doctrines, particularly the doctrines of the resurrection, and the new birth, to ask ourselves, whether we believe them or not.
28.Q. Did Christ call Mary?
