011:017 On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been
three days in the tomb.
011:018 Bethany was near Jerusalem, the distance being a little less
than two miles;
011:019 and a considerable number of the Jews were with Martha and Mary, having come to express sympathy with them on the death of their brother.
011:020 Martha, however, as soon as she heard the tidings, "Jesus is coming,"
went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting in the house.
011:021 So Martha came and spoke to Jesus. "Master, if you had been here,"
she said, "my brother would not have died.
011:022 And even now I know that whatever you ask God for,
God will give you."
011:023 "Your brother shall rise again," replied Jesus.
011:024 "I know," said Martha, "that he will rise again at the resurrection,
on the last day."
011:025 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes
in me, even if he has died, he shall live;
011:026 and every one who is living and is a believer in me shall never,
never die. Do you believe this?"
