17 Jesus arrived in Bethany and found that Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days.
18 Bethany was about two miles from Jerusalem.
19 Many Jews had come to see Martha and Mary. They came to comfort them about their brother Lazarus.
20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to greet him. But Mary stayed home.
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But I know that even now God will give you anything you ask.”
23 Jesus said, “Your brother will rise and be alive again.”
