John
11:17-37
17
On His arrival, Jesus found
That
Lazarus had already been in the Tomb for four days.
18
Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19
And many Jews had comer to Martha and Mary
To
comfort them in the loss of their brother.
20
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming,
She
went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.
21
'Lord,” Martha said to Jesus,
'If
you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22
But I know that even now
GOD
WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK.'
23
Jesus said to her,
'YOUR
BROTHER WILL RISE AGAIN.'
24
Martha answered,
'I
know he will rise in the Resurrection at The Last Day.'
25
Jesus said to her,
'I
AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
HE
WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES;
26
AND WHOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER DIE.
Do
you believe this?'
27
'Yes, Lord,' she told Him,
'I
BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE CRIST,
THE
SON OF GOD,
WHO
WAS TO COME INTO THE WORLD.'
28
And after she had said this
She
went back and called her sister Mary aside.
'The
Teacher is here,' she said, 'and is asking for you.'
29
When Mary heard this,
She
got up quickly and went to Him.
30
Now Jesus had not yet entered the village,
But
was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
31
When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house,
Comforting
her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out,
They
followed her,
Supposing
she was going to the Tomb to mourn there.
32
When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw Him,
She
fell at His feet and said,
'LORD,
I YOU HAD BEEN HERE,
MY
BROTHER WOULD NOT HAVE DIED.'
33
When Jesus saw her weeping,
And
the Jews who had come along with her also weeping,
He
was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34'Where
have you laid him?' He asked.
'Come
and see, Lord,' they replied.''
35
JESUS WEPT.
36
Then the Jews said, 'See how He loved him!'
37
But some of them said,
'Could
not He who opened the eyes of the blind man
Have
kept this man from dying?'
(John 11:17-37)
Jesus
said that those who believe in Him
Would
do the things that He did,
And
even greater things;
That
they would be given
Whatever
they asked in His Name.
Christ
Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life,
Those
who believe in Him will Live,
Even
though they Die;
Whoever
believes in Him will never Die.
This
is the Great Promise
To
all who believe.
Jesus
is the Christ of God;
The
Son of God,
Promised
by Scripture.
