Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days… Martha [a sister of Lazarus] said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”…. Now when Mary [another sister of Lazarus] came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her also crying, he was strongly determined in his spirit and greatly troubled in himself. And he said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus wept. So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said, “This one who opened the eyes of the blind - was he not able to provide so that this man also would not have died?” Then Jesus, strongly determined again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” John 11: 17-44 | |||||||||||
