bwe - John:11:17-37

bwe@John:11:17 @ When Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had been buried four days.

bwe@John:11:18 @ Bethany was only about two miles from Jerusalem.

bwe@John:11:19 @ Many Jews had come out to see Martha and Mary. They came to comfort them because their brother had died.

bwe@John:11:20 @ As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary just stayed in the house.

bwe@John:11:21 @ Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

bwe@John:11:22 @ But even yet, I know that God will give you anything that you ask for.

bwe@John:11:23 @ Jesus said, Your brother will rise again.

bwe@John:11:24 @ Martha said, I know that he will rise when the dead people are raised up on the last day.

bwe@John:11:25 @ Jesus said, I am the one who will raise people up and give them life. The person who believes in me will live, even though he has died.

bwe@John:11:26 @ Anyone who is living and who believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?

bwe@John:11:27 @ She said, Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ. I believe that you are the Son of God who was to come into the world.

bwe@John:11:28 @ When she had said this, she went back to call her sister. She said quietly, Mary, the Master has come. He is calling you.

bwe@John:11:29 @ When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and came to him.

bwe@John:11:30 @ Jesus was not in the town yet. He was at the same place where Martha had met him.

bwe@John:11:31 @ The Jews who were in the house to comfort Mary saw her get up quickly and go out. They went after her. They said, She is going to the grave to cry.

bwe@John:11:32 @ Mary reached the place where Jesus was. When she saw him, she kneeled down before him and said, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

bwe@John:11:33 @ Jesus saw her crying. He saw the Jews who came with her crying also. Then his heart was troubled very much.

bwe@John:11:34 @ Where have you buried him? he said. Come, Lord, and see, they said.

bwe@John:11:35 @ Then Jesus cried.

bwe@John:11:36 @ Look, the Jews said. He truly loved him very much!

bwe@John:11:37 @ Then some of them said, This man made the blind see. Could he not have saved Lazarus from dying?
