In context
18Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away, 19and many of the Jews had come out to Martha and Mary to console them over their brother. 20When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him; Mary stayed sitting in the house. 21Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22Yet even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”
