The immediate response of Lazarus' sister Martha shows how much this was appreciated by the early Christians: "Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day" (John 11:23,24).
Jibu la haraka toka kwa dada yake Lazaro, Martha laonyesha ni kiasi gani hili lilieleweka na Wakristo wa kwanza: "Martha akamwabia, Najua ya kwamba atafufuka katika ufufuo siku ya mwisho"(Yoh. 11:23,24).
