"Uh..." "I think so." "Sarah." "I'm sorry that you have to live like this." "Papa." "As long as you're here it isn't so bad." "I will always be here... always." "Then so will I." "and still I am drowned in grief." "Jesus." "Give me peace." "Here is peace: the time is coming when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and live." "My husband will live again?" "all that are in the graves shall come forth! and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation." "Mary?" "Done." "Very nice!" "Sarah deserves something nice." "It breaks my heart to think of what she's going through." "Me too." "It's been almost a year since she and Simon..." "Here's the last pot... enough to feed them all." "you have to come with us." "I can't." "I've got a huge stack of dishes to clean now." "But you're missing the best part." "You never get to see how happy it makes them." "I mean?" "that's all." "We'll see you when we get back then." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Mary!" "Jordan." "what have we got today?" "butter... and letters from home." "I don't see Simon." "is he?" "My best friend."

"We deliver them." "What's it say?" "but I'm sorry to tell you my little Sarah died peacefully this morning." "Since she was the only child here you should give the doll to another." "Sarah would want that."" "No!" "No!" "wait!" "Not Sarah!" "Why?" "!" "Why her?" "!" "Maybe it... maybe it's better this way." "But she was so young!" "I fear death!" "I fear it!" "It's so final!"

"Nothing can bring her back." "She's gone forever." "Come with me." "You'll feel better when we start delivering these letters." "I promise." "I can't...." "I can't." "Try to keep her mind off it while I'm gone." "young man." "It's such a comfort to get letters from my Daniel." "You're an angel!" "please let me through." "Do you wish to be whole?" "I do." "Then let it be so according to your faith." "Jesus." "Thank you." "I'm going to get Simon." "What?" "!" "Lazarus!" "You'll catch his disease!" "You'll die!" "Jesus can heal him!"

"Are you here?" "!" "Lazarus!" "Simon?" "You shouldn't have come." "I found someone..." "someone who can heal you." "No one can heal me." "You have to come with me." "I can't walk." "My feet... please heal my friend." "A man can have no greater love than this." "You have valued your friend's life more than your own." "I command you to be made clean." "Oh!" "Master."

"Why can't Mary serve?" "death still seems so final... so... so horrible." "Mary:" "for I shall have victory over the grave." "Master." "don't you care that I'm the only one serving while my sister just sits and listens." "I know that you're concerned about serving me but only one thing is important right now and Mary has chosen it." "Be of good cheer." "even death." "how can that be? you shall see the glory of God." "The glory of God?" "What does this mean?" "If we hurry we can be home before nightfall." "that'll be good."

"!" "Mary." "No!" "No!" "You have to find Jesus." "Where is He?" "but you have got to find Him!" "Mary?" "Martha?" "we're here!" "I don't want to die." "You're not going to!" "Simon went to get Jesus!" "You'll live!" "Mary." "It's so frightening to be so close to death." "Lazarus." "You'll live!" "You have to!" "Jesus of Nazareth!" "Is it true that you claim to be the long-awaited One... the Son of God?" "!" "You see?" "!" "He does not deny it!" "He does not deny it!" "then deny it!" "This is blasphemy!" "Let him prove it then! and we'll believe him!" "It is a wicked and adulterous generation that seeks for a sign." "There is only one sign I will give this generation:" "and that is the sign of Jonah." "Jonah who was swallowed by the whale?" "!" "so it will be with me. but on the third day I too will rise again." "Where is he?" "!" "Where is Jesus?" "!" "Don't let my brother die." "let me die too." "Lazarus!" "No!" "Lazarus!" "Lazarus!" "we don't understand what you've said about you and Jonah." "How long shall you be with me and still not understand?" "I will tell you plainly." "The day is soon coming when I shall go down to Jerusalem and be betrayed into the hands of wicked men." "Then I will be delivered to the Gentiles." "and then crucified." "But then on the third day I shall rise again." "Master!" "This thing shall never happen!" "Never!" "Peter." "You don't know what you say." "all would be lost." "Jesus!" "Lazarus is dying!" "You have to come right away!" "You have to save him!" "Go and tell them I am coming."

"The body is decaying by now!" "you would see the glory of God?" "come forth." "Lazarus!" "Loose him and let him go." "my friend."
