John 11:17-29

Names of God Bible

¹⁷ When Yeshua arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days. ¹⁸ (Bethany was near Jerusalem, not quite two miles away.) ¹⁹ Many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.

²⁰ When Martha heard that Yeshua was coming, she went to meet him. Mary stayed at home. ²¹ Martha told Yeshua, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. ²² But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask him.”

²³ Yeshua told Martha, “Your brother will come back to life.”

²⁴ Martha answered Yeshua, “I know that he’ll come back to life on the last day, when everyone will come back to life.”

²⁵ Yeshua said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. ²⁶ Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?”

²⁷ Martha said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was expected to come into the world.”

²⁸ After Martha had said this, she went back home and whispered to her sister Mary, “The teacher is here, and he is calling for you.”

²⁹ When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Yeshua.
