John 11:21

“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Martha’s greeting to Jesus was an expression of her faith and was probably the subject of much discussion between her and her sister over the past 4 days since this is the same thought Mary expresses to Jesus when she first sees Him (John 11:32).

John 11:32  When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
