" Polycarp, did you know that Jesus raised people from the dead?".
" Like who?".
" One was a dear friend of his named Lazarus".
" Was he from Bethany?".
" Yes". John smiled. " He lived there with his two sisters".
" What happened?".
" We arrived with Jesus". His voice hesitated. " But it was too late".
" Too late?".
" He had already been in the tomb for four days".
" Then what happened?".
" Jesus told his sister Martha that her brother would rise again".
" What did Martha say?".
" She knew that he would rise again in the resurrection of the last day". John's voice hesitated. " Then he said something incredible".
" What was that?".
" Jesus proclaimed that he was the resurrection and the life".
Polycarp smiled. " How did he prove that?".
" He raised Lazarus from the dead".
