Context of John 11:26

24Martha replied, ‘I know that he will rise on the last day, to become alive again.’ 25Jesus said to her, ‘I have authority over death. I raise dead people, and I give people true life. Anyone who believes in me will live. Even if that person dies, he will continue to live. People who believe in me while they are alive will never die. Do you believe that?’ 27Martha answered, ‘Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah. You are God's Son, the one that God promised to send into the world.’ 28After this, Martha went back to the house. She took Mary to speak to her on her own. Martha said to her, ‘The Teacher is here, and he is asking to meet you.’

When Martha went to meet Jesus, Mary sat still in the house; this temper formerly had been an advantage…Read the comment
