1003 5, 0,82|         sisters sent a message to the Lord: “he, whom You love is sick,”
1004 5, 0,82|           sick,” in the hope that the Lord Himself would hurry to them
1005 5, 0,82|            cure Lazarus. However, the Lord no only didn’t hurry, but
1006 5, 0,82|            glorified through it.” The Lord knew that Lazarus would

1008 5, 0,82|               go to Judea again.” The Lord doesn’t specify Bethany,
1009 5, 0,82|          These words were used by the Lord to implant the idea of the
1010 5, 0,82|           stone Him in Jerusalem. The Lord responded to the disciples’
1011 5, 0,82|             the life and works of the Lord Jesus Christ will not cease
1012 5, 0,82|            Having explained this, the Lord points to the immediate

1018 5, 0,82|              is dead.” With this, the Lord adds that He is glad for

1020 5, 0,82|          village. Upon hearing of the Lord’s coming, Martha, being

1022 5, 0,82|              happened, she exclaims: “Lord, if You had been here, my

1150 6, 2,8 |            Lord’s question. Thus, the Lord censured their ignorance
