King James Version (KJV)

John 11:20

“Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.”

Verse in context — John 11

Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:

And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.

Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
