  19. Lazarus lived in Bethany with his sisters Mary and Martha. • Jesus loved Lazarus and his sisters, and they loved Jesus.

  20. Lazarus became very sick. • The Savior was in another town. • Mary and Martha sent word to Him that Lazarus was sick.

  21. The Savior asked His disciples to go with Him to help Lazarus. • The disciples were afraid to go to Bethany. It was near Jerusalem. • Some people in Jerusalem wanted to kill Jesus.

  22. Jesus told His disciples that Lazarus was dead. He said that He would bring Lazarus back to life. • This miracle would help the disciples know that He was the Savior. Jesus went to Bethany.

  23. When He got there, Lazarus had been dead for four days. • Martha told Jesus that Lazarus would still be alive if He had come sooner. • Jesus said Lazarus would live again.

  24. Jesus asked Martha if she believed Him. • Martha said yes. She knew that Jesus was the Savior. • Martha left Jesus to get her sister, Mary. • Mary went to meet Jesus too. Many people followed her.

  25. Mary knelt, crying, at the Savior’s feet. • The people with her were also crying. • Jesus asked where Lazarus’s body was. • Jesus went to the cave where Lazarus was buried.

  26. There was a stone in front of it. • He told the people to move the stone. • Jesus looked up. • He thanked Heavenly Father for hearing His prayers.

  27. Then, in a loud voice, Jesus told Lazarus to come out of the cave. • Lazarus walked out. • Many of the people who saw the miracle now believed that Jesus was the Savior.

  28. How did Jesus feel about Lazarus? (See John 11:3, 35–36.) • What did Jesus do for Lazarus? (See John 11:43–44.)

  29. How do you think Lazarus, Mary, and Martha felt toward Jesus?

  30. How should we treat our friends?

  31. When we are being good friends, we help others do good things. • We care about our friends and want them to be happy. • It is important that we treat others the way we like to be treated.

  32. How can you be a good friend in the following situations:

  33. You and a friend are playing, and another child comes and wants to play with you.

  34. A new child comes to class for the first time and feels shy or afraid.

  35. A child has been teased and feels bad.

  36. Let’s sing: • “Kindness Begins with Me”

  37. KINDNESS BEGINS WITH ME • I want to be kind to ev'ryone, • For that is right, you see. • So I say to myself, "Remember this: • Kindness begins with me." • Words and music: Clara W. McMaster, 1904-1997. (c) 1969 IRI

  38. How do you feel when your friends are kind to you? • How do you think they feel when you are kind to them?

  39. If you want to have friends, you must be good friends themselves.

  40. Friends share with each other • If you are playing with a toy, and a friend comes to play with you, what should you do? • When we let another person play with us, or when we give some of what we have to someone else, we are sharing.

  41. Sometimes we can’t divide up what we have, so we take turns with it. • This is also sharing.

  42. If one of your friends is hungry and you have food, what should you do?

  43. In the following story, listen to how a young boy shared the food he had. • How Jesus was able to use his power to make enough food to feed all the people.

  44. Go to the Slides. Go to the Video. Continue.

  45. Some friends of John the Baptist told Jesus that John had been killed by the king.

  46. When Jesus heard this, He went to a place near the Sea of Galilee to be alone. • Many people knew where He was. • More than 5,000 people followed Him there hoping that He would teach them.

  47. Jesus taught them many things. • It was time to eat, but most of the people did not have any food. • His disciples wanted Jesus to send the people to the nearest villages to buy food.

  48. Jesus told the disciples to see if anyone had brought food. • They found a boy who had five loaves of bread and two small fish.

  49. Jesus told all the people to sit down. • He blessed the bread and the fish and broke the food into pieces.
