Johannes 11,17

15 og for deres skyld er jeg glad jeg ikke var der, slik at dere kan tro. Men la oss dra til ham."

16 Da sa Thomas, også kjent som Didymus, til de andre disiplene: "La oss også dra, så vi kan møte døden med Ham."

Da Han kom fram, fant Jesus at Lasarus allerede hadde ligget i graven i fire dager.

18 Betania var bare en kort avstand fra Jerusalem,

19 og mange jøder hadde kommet til Marta og Maria for å trøste dem angående deres bror.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
