Sayfa 773 / 1294

"Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him

that was dead, saith unto Him, Lord by this time he stinketh: for

he hath been dead four days."

She laid emphasis on the word four.

"Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest

believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

"Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was

laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank Thee

that Thou hast heard Me.

"And I knew that Thou hearest Me always; but because of the

people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that Thou

hast sent Me.

"And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice,

Lazarus, come forth.

"And he that was dead came forth."

(She read loudly, cold and trembling with ecstasy, as though she

were seeing it before her eyes.)

"Bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and his face was bound

about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him and let him

go.
