(John 11:24-25) Here, Martha expresses her belief in the future resurrection, but Jesus reveals to him that He is the resurrection itself and life, and that eternal life begins now for those who believe in Him.

"Jesus said, Take the stone. He said Martha, sister of the deceased, Lord, she already smells bad, because she is four days. Jesus said unto him, He won't tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"

"Jesus cried. The Jews then said, see how he loved Him." (John 11:35-36) This verse shows the humanity of Jesus, who shakes himself from the pain of his friends for the loss of Lazarus. Her cry also highlights the reality of death and her sadness before her.
