A resurrected manner is that of proper expectation and not a misconception that is an overreaction

that fear that would cause a malfunction, so that is the whole point of a resurrection in that it is life and NOT fear by way of defeat. - G.S.MinistrDef



21 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

22 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'

23 Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.'

24 Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

25 Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

26 and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;

27 believest thou this?' she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

28 And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

29 she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;

30 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;

31 the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'

32 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'

33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

34 `Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, `Sir, come and see;'

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!'

37 and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

38 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

39 Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

40 Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

41 They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

42 and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

43 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;'

44 and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.'

45 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

46 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;

47 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs?

48 if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'

49 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything,

50 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'

51 And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,

52 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.

53 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;

54 Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.

55 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

56 they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?'

57 and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.


(John 11:21-57 YLT)
