DESCRIPTION
This episode tells the story of Lazarus of Bethany, the beloved friend of Jesus who falls sick and dies. His sisters Mary and Martha send word to Jesus, trusting his care. When Jesus finally arrives in Bethany he finds Lazarus has been in the tomb four days and the town is filled with mourners.

Martha meets Jesus first and speaks with faith and grief, declaring her belief in a future resurrection. Jesus answers with a profound claim: "I am the resurrection and the life," inviting belief that he embodies the power of life over death. Mary comes to Jesus weeping; moved deeply, Jesus weeps with them.

At the tomb Jesus prays aloud and calls: "Lazarus, come out." In a moment of stunned silence the dead man emerges still bound in burial cloths. Many who witness the miracle believe, but others report it to the religious leaders in Jerusalem. The raising of Lazarus demonstrates Jesus' authority over death and becomes the pivotal event that drives the Jewish leaders to plot his death.

This account highlights the human emotions of grief and hope, the theological claim that Jesus is life itself, and the political consequences of a miracle that cannot be ignored. The story sets the stage for the coming events in Jerusalem and shows how a single sign can change the course of history.
