11:17

On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

11:18

Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem ,

11:19

and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.  

11:20

When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.

11:21

"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

11:22

But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."

11:23

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

11:24

Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

11:25

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;．

11:26

and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"     

11:27

"Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

11:28

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."

11:29

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

11:30

Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

11:31

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.

11:32

When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

11:33

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

11:34

"Where have you laid him?" he asked.  "Come and see, Lord," they replied.

11:35

Jesus wept.

10:38

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.

10:39

She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said.

10:40

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

10:41

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things,

10:42

but only one thing is needed.  Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

12:15

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

10:30

In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho , when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

10:31

A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.

10:32

So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

10:33

But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.

10:34

He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him

10:35

The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

3:7

The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt (sin). I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.

3:8

So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land (the bondage of sin) into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey (the kingdom of God). . .

7:24

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
