Yes, Lord,’ she replied, ‘I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.’ She then returned to fetch her sister Mary saying, ‘The Teacher is here,’ and is asking for you.’ – Slide 7

When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Jesus. Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. When the mourners noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to visit the tomb. – Slide 8

Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, ‘See how He loved him!’ But some of them said, ‘Could not He who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?’ – Slide 11

Jesus, still deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. ‘Take away the stone,’ He said. – Slide 12
